'Playing with my daughter, I sat down because I couldn't chase her anymore,' he relates the first time he came to be aware of his weight. 'And she said, 'Please Daddy. I love playing with you,' and I couldn't catch my breath. I just couldn't. I was heaving, trying to catch my breath and looking at my adorable little girl with her puppy dog eyes pleading with her father to play. And I said, 'No more!' He realized he weighed much more than he thought. 'Also, my clothes didn't fit me well. So, I decided to make a serious change.'

By just changing his diet, Joe lost 40 pounds of body weight. 'That definitely helped with the energy as it forced me to eat more vegetables and fruits,' he says. 'I also stopped drinking calories. I would always drink iced teas and lemonades and sodas while filming. Now it's only water and coffee. But I think the biggest thing was portion control. I started eating literally half of my meals.'
