Tyler Perry

While some of us are packing on the pounds this holiday season, others are hitting the gym in an effort to stay healthy and fit. For example, Tyler Perry is on a mission to get fit. The director/producer posted a shirtless photo of himself, with the caption:

I’m 18 lbs away from my goal. I hope I don’t blow it this holiday season. Gonna try to stay on it. It’s hard as heck to lose weight after 40, but it’s so worth it. It keeps the doctor away. Don’t let anything keep you from being healthy and strong. I wish my mother had fought back. She turned diabetic at 40 and died at 64. Don’t let that be you!! Fight back!!
