Mick Foley celebrates big milestone in weight-loss journey
Mick Foley shared some good news on social media today, revealing that he is now 100 pounds down from his highest weight.
The 60-year-old Foley has found a new lease on life lately with weight loss, along with feeling much better after undergoing hip and knee replacements. His highest weight was 372 pounds — and Foley announced today that he now officially weighs 272. Foley had started to creep up back toward 300 pounds before recommitting himself and getting back into the 270s.
“It took two years, but I’m officially down 100 pounds from my all-time high of 372 pounds in January, 2024,” Foley wrote. “I actually thought last year my high was 379 and I hit my goal when I hit 279 last January…. But little did I know I was 7 pounds short of my 100 lb goal one year ago.
“Yes, I had some help in the form of Wegovy, which helped reduce the constant cravings…. But I made wiser eating choices, stopped eating when I was starting to get full – instead of when I was stuffed – and did a little bit of that @ddpyoga as well. I’ve managed to keep the weight off since last year and actually hit my goal….finally!”
The next milestone Foley is hoping to reach is 250 pounds. He thanked everyone for their encouragement and noted that he is moving around a lot better.
“I am moving around so much better, I’m not short of wind after walking up hills and stairs, and one day may even take my shirt off at the beach,” he added.
Last month, Foley announced that he is parting ways with WWE and will not be renewing his Legends contract when it expires this summer. Foley cited WWE’s close association with President Donald Trump as the reason for his decision. The final straw for Foley was the “incredibly cruel” response that Trump had after the death of Hollywood director Rob Reiner.
