The 62-year-old looked to his daughter, Lauren Taylor, 31, who had lost 75 pounds on Nutrisystem and keeps off the weight by returning to the eating plan whenever her weight starts to creep up a few pounds.
"My daughter Lauren inspires me not only because she is my daughter, but also because she can stay focused, organized and determined," he says. "Does that sound like her mother? Heavens yes!"
