Don’t feel sorry for Chicagoan Mark Stach because he’s lost his natural cup holder.
Since winning Motiv8 Fitness’ three-month “Fit Eye for the Fat Guy” fitness-makeover contest in December, Stach, has dropped about 15 pounds, down to 194, as of last Monday, and 4 inches from his waist, to a 38.
“I kind of rest my drink on my stomach,” said Stach, 35. “I was watching the Super Bowl, and I went to put my drink down, and it kept going.”

But Stach lost something more important because of his program: cholesterol.
Stash, who takes cholesterol-reducing Lipitor, had especially high levels of triglycerides, which are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body.
But a recent visit to Stach’s doctor found his triglycerides had dropped dramatically. Stach’s doctor, who cut his medication in half as a result, credited exercise and diet.
Stach is closing in on his target of 185 pounds. The program ends next month. Stay tuned.
