"The DJ Rick Weight-loss Challenge"

I've been consistently gaining weight over the years I've been with Jam 88.8, so I've drawn the line and have made a vow to slim down. To make sure that I stay on track, I'm enrolled in a program with Medislim.

Today, on our show, we launched it as our new on-air gimmick. Every so often I will weigh myself on air and give my tummy (belly and love handles) measurement & body mass index. I started by announcing my initial figures early in the program.

The response from the listeners was overwhelming. People were sending their words of support via text, chat, shoutbox and email. Some even gave some advice of their own. Others helped encourage me by giving their own weigh-loss accounts.

I've always wanted my show to be a positive force. Hopefully "The DJ Rick Weight-loss Challenge" will not only help me, but also inspire others to give importance to their health.
