Lighten Up Brooklyn

Couch Potato Cop got off the couch yesterday to participate in the launch of Lighten Up Brooklyn. At the official weigh-in, I checked in at 255 lbs., a far cry from my "fighting weight" of a svelte 187 from way back when in the Academy. To show my total commitment, upon leaving Borough Hall I walked past Arby's & White Castle and had my first salad since the Bush Administration.

Credit the always energetic Boro Prez Marty Markowitz for coming up with the program about a decade ago, long before THE BIGGEST LOSER, LOSING IT WITH JILLIAN & CELEBRITY FIT CLUB.
