DJ Khaled has made a reputation as one of music's most inspirational figures, occasionally coming off like a motivational speaker soundboard. The man's positive outlook is unparalleled, whether he be lost at sea in the middle of the pitch black night, or stuck on his jetski, waiting for Drake and Diddy to come save him. And as he's always been a little on the rotund side, Khaled recently linked up with Weight Watchers as an official spokesperson, in order to take his health more seriously. If you follow his Instagram page, you've probably seen Khaled busting his ass on the treadmill; it's cool to see the Grateful artist adhering to his disciplined routine.

Apparently, his relationship with Weight Watchers is paying off. In a recent interview, Khaled spoke about his new lifestyle, praising the company and its point-based system. “Man. Weight Watchers is going good,” says Khaled. “The freestyle program is doing real big. It’s a real lifestyle because all you have to do is not go over your point [total]. And there are so many zero points [foods] in case you get hungry. I got the freestyle dance.”

Khaled also revealed that he had managed to shed twenty-six pounds, but in true Khaled fashion, he refused to call it "losing" weight. "Right now, the last weigh in as like 26 pounds. I got rid of – I don’t lose. All I do is win – you know what I mean.” Is the world ready for slim Khaled?
