The incredible shrinking chef

April 15th, 2008

I met Sam Choy in 2006 when my husband surprised me with him cooking us dinner at our rental home for our 10 year anniversary. (That’s what he’s doing in this pic, making a wonderful dinner for us!) We loved Sam for the same reason everyone in Hawaii seems to…he’s real. He’s as sweet and honest as he is on TV. We became fast friends bonding over the extra pounds we carried in the middle. Seeing him was a shock because it was obvious he’d lost a good amount of weight. I believe at the time we met him he’d lost about 80 lbs. He gave us the backstory on how he came to lose that much weight. When we got together with him last year to hang out, he’d lost even more…125 lbs total. I told him he had chicken legs now! hee hee

I came across a great article in Hana Hou Magazine that features him and his trainer, whom he just raves about. If you’re curious about how Sam has dropped the pounds, click here to read the article.
