The NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal began his new weight loss and fitness regime a few months ago. The veteran star hit a roadblock when he got a hip replacement procedure last month and had to pause his fitness regime after making spectacular progress. Despite the surgery, Big Diesel could not be stopped for long and was already back to his busy lifestyle within a week of the procedure. Recently, Shaq made another surprising revelation that had fans going gaga over him.

Before beginning his weight loss journey, the former Lakers center weighed up to 415 pounds. The veteran icon had already lost nearly 40 pounds before his procedure and his latest update is inspiring millions across the globe.
