Legendary rugby player Andy Goode recently provided a significant update on his remarkable weight loss journey in the past month.
Throughout his illustrious career, Goode gained popularity for his resilience in resisting the conventional notion that a fly-half should possess a sleek and agile physique.
Despite facing challenges due to his size, this glove-wearing sports icon continued to excel in the top echelons of European rugby, refusing to let his larger-than-average stomach hinder his performance, both literally and metaphorically.
However, following his participation in a challenging Wattbike program, Goode has successfully shed an impressive 14 kilograms or 2 stone 2 pounds.
Noticeably looking a lot slimmer, Goode posted on Twitter writing: “End of week 5 of my: @wattbike challenge and I’m 14kgs/2 stone 2lbs down! 1 week and a few more Kgs to lose I hope! #whothehellhaveIturnedinto“
