The famous chef finished the Ditka Dash, wearing a fake moustache in honor of Mike Ditka, the beloved former coach of the Chicago Bears, in 34:49 alongside his wife Allie.
“I have been jogging and training since the summer, working up to 3 miles,” he told People. “The feeling of crossing the finish line was a great sense of accomplishment.”

Since having a sleeve gastrectomy, in which 80 percent of a patient’s stomach is removed to create a small sleeve-shaped stomach the size of a banana, Elliot has lost about 128 pounds and overhauled his lifestyle.
Next year, he said he’s hoping to run the Chicago marathon with the help of his fellow “MasterChef” judges and avid marathoners Gordon Ramsay and Joe Bastianich.

Great effort, I can't wait to see them run the Chicago Marathon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the surgery worked for this Chef.
ReplyDeleteThe things I read and the people I talk to about surgery (gastromic stapling, bypass, etc.) make it look more and more like this is the answer to those who can't seem to make dieting and exercise regimens alone help them lose significant amounts of weight.
ReplyDeleteAn operation f this sort would scare me, but it is obvious that it worked for this man.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...I didn't even recognize Graham in the second picture! He looks awesome since he's lost all the weight!
ReplyDeleteImpressive weight loss! I bet he feels a whole lot better (in terms of health).
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that weight loss surgery really works so well. Still, I don't think it would me my first option if I had to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome success. I am so glad all worked for him.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on losing weight and becoming active.
ReplyDeleteReally amazing achievement!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing weight loss story! I would like to see him, Joe, and Gordon all run in the marathon...they are all wonderful chefs.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a success story. It's a fake success. These type of people with money just show us that only with money u can do it. He should of gotten off his butt and worked hard ate right and loss the weight natural. Going under the knife is bull and a easy way out. There is nothing to be proud of him. He is a coward bottom line. Ur still fat only had money to cover it up. Loser
