Ruben Studdard hit the red carpet this past weekend at the 2013 Soul Train Awards. Ruben was recently a contestant on The Biggest Loser. He was ousted after the last weigh in showed he had lost the least overall.
When he started on the show, he weighed 462. He dropped 39 pounds on the ranch, and in an interview with TODAY, he revealed that he’s now lost a total of 104 pounds.
“Hopefully I can continue to keep that downward trend going,” Studdard said.
This isn’t the first time the “American Idol” champ has shed a significant amount of weight. A decade ago, he adopted a vegan diet and lost 100 pounds, but he couldn’t keep it off. This time, he thinks it will be different because he’s different.
“The last time I lost weight, I was still young — I was 25,” Studdard explained. “And it really wasn’t as much for me as it was to prove people wrong. … This is a lot different. I have a completely different set of circumstances now that affect the way I approach it for my life. So I have to take it a little bit more seriously — not a little bit, a lot more serious.”
Ruben definitely looks great. Now, can we get a new CD Ruben 🙂
