Stephen Fry’s audiobooks helped him lose 80lbs in six months
The 51-year-old British actor, author, game show host (and Twitter fiend) Stephen Fry stands 6′ 5″.
That makes him a big star. In more ways than one. Like lots of middle aged people, he started to pack on the pounds.
At first, he could brush it off; after all, they say the camera adds ten pounds. But soon he had to face reality:
At one point, Stephen Fry weighed almost 300 lbs.
Then he lost 80 lbs in six months.
Sure, he cut down on bread and other carbs. But Fry had always hated working out. Until he figured out a new way turn treadmill workouts into “sheer pleasure.”
Stephen Fry recently told a British journalist:
“I never thought I would say this, but I genuinely enjoy going to the gym. I spent years mocking them, but now I’m one of the converts.
“What has helped enormously has been the audio books I listen to while I’m walking.
“I’ve written myself a list of great novels and am slowly working my way through them.
“At the moment it’s Tim West reading Anthony Trollope. It’s sheer pleasure, and largely uninterrupted. “I’ve discovered that wearing white earphones means that people can see what I’m doing and usually don’t disturb me.”
Stephen Fry’s audiobooks helped him lose weight!
Like Fry, I’ve also found that listening to audiobooks (or, “talking books”) on the treadmill has made a big difference.
I’ve lost a couple of dress sizes over the last few months, and that’s part of the reason why.
