– WWE announcer JBL says he plans to lose 35 pounds by the end of the year, in preparation for his next mountain climb in January. He tweeted on Wednesday night:

“Last dessert tonight for 13 weeks, going on end of year diet for #WWEClimbingTeam ‘s next adventure in January. Going to lose 35 pounds!”

On Thursday morning, he tweeted that he’s actually farther away from his target weight than he thought:

“First weigh in for #WWEClimbingTeam 13 week training program, got 38 pounds to lose not 35! No problem! Let’s train!”
