Where Has John Goodman Gone?

Check out the new leaner, meaner John Goodman! John has lost about 200 pounds by stopping drinking, hiring a personal trainer and exercising six days a week. He has also removed sugar from his diet. His transformation started after he played Santa Claus in a US TV movie and didn't like what he saw. John said "For years, at Christmas-time I'd get fed up and make a resolution, and I'd lose 60 pounds, 65 pounds," he said. "And then I was off to the races again in the summer. I'd just eat whatever I want, and the big key was drinking. I'm an alcoholic."
Goodman told People Magazine, "I'm breaking a sweat but I'm not going nuts." Those workouts, he told Men's Health, include cardio on the elliptical machine and recumbent bike, strength training with resistance bands, and boxing twice a week. 
John Goodman who was 58 in June and was pushing 400lbs has appeared in many films such as The Flintstones, The Big Lebowski and was the voice of "Sulley" in 2001's Monsters Inc but is best known for his role opposite Roseanne Barr in Roseanne. 
And about the clothes? Some "nice slacks" he just ordered finally came, he told People Magazine, and they're already too big!!
