Who is Mike Meginness?

Father-of-four Mike Meginness’ starting weight was 745 pounds, and he is looking ahead to the new phase of his weight loss journey.

Mike was passionate about sports, however, his sporting ambitions were dashed after he suffered multiple concussions.

He has started to enjoy golfing with his dad, although Mike does need to take breaks in between holes.

Why is Mike hesitant to do Dr Now’s program?

Mike admitted his hesitancy to partake in Dr Now’s program because he would have to relocate to Houston.

He said: “I was really excited to be approved, and I’m still dedicated to losing weight and getting healthy. The only problem is his requirement is to move to Houston because I was ready to do that, but then I was informed that if I move to Houston then I’d be forfeiting any and all custody rights with my kids. I can’t let that happen.”

Mike even asked his lawyer about a temporary exemption so he can still move to Houston and complete the program, however, his attempt at an exemption was denied.
