Weight loss plan: I’ll mow your lawn for free
A deal too good to be true? Coon Rapids man willing to mow lawns for free in his attempt to shed some pounds.
Darrell Nelson of Coon Rapids is a man with a lawnmower and a dream. He wants to lose 30 to 50 pounds, but he has had trouble in the past adhering to an exercise program. However, if he makes a commitment to another person, he tends to stick to it, he said.
A possible solution to Nelson’s weight problem came to him while mowing his lawn this summer.“I get done and I’m sweating like a pig, and I go: God, I should be able to do a couple lawns a week and I could probably lose a few more pounds,” said Nelson, a former power lifter who’s about 5 feet 9 and 258 pounds.

My e-hat is off to this man. He recognizes a problem, a solution that works for him, and goes for it! Hey, how many fat people in his neighborhood have said “Forget it, I am just fat. Pass me another Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger!” Congratulations Sir! You are truly an inspiration.
Besides, if I get to sit on my porch, sipping iced tea, and watch a fat man mow and water my lawn with his sweat, FOR FREE!! Awesome!
