Weighty matters for Big Daddy Weave

Big Daddy Weave’s lead singer and guitarist Mike Weaver is trying to lose 90 pounds this year and he’s inviting others to join him in his weight loss endeavor.

He’s created the “90 in ’09 Challenge” and folks can sign up at www.90in09.com. Fans can follow his programs and send in their own photographs and track their successes.

“Our bodies are temples that God created,” Weaver (shown above, center)said in a news release. “I want to restore and take better care of what He has provided, as well as create a place to motivate and teach others to do the same. With 90 in ’09, we’ll all be held more accountable because we won’t be able to hid the scales.”

Participants can access healthy food recipes, exercise techniques and meet the challenge’s support team lead by Dr. Asa Andrew, who is also known as “America’s Health Coach” and Scott Reall, YMCA Restore Ministries founder and executive director.

Those who listen to KLOVE will be hearing about the challenge since the radio network is one of the challenge’s media partners.

We’ll have to stay updated and informed as Weaver takes on this timely challenge.

Carla Hinton, an Oklahoma City native, joined The Oklahoman in 1986 as a National Society of Newspaper Editors minority intern. She began reporting full-time for The Oklahoman two years later and has served as a beat writer covering a wide variety of news, including social services, transportation, minority affairs and Oklahoma City Hall.

Hinton also serves as assistant editor and editor of the local news section for several years, but she is perhaps best known as The Oklahoman's religion editor, a post she has held since June 2002. She has enjoyed learning about the many different world religions in her role as religion editor and doesn't consider it a bad thing when colleagues refer to her as "the church lady."

Career highlights have included meeting renowned evangelist Billy Graham and covering local reaction to the election of a new pope after the death of Pope John Paul II. In her spare time, Hinton enjoys reading suspense novels (ala James Patterson), watching HGTV shows and keeping up with the activities of her two grown sons and (almost grown) daughter
