02:39So what have you had to give up?
02:40What's the biggest thing you've had to give up to lose the weight?
02:43Well, I don't give anything up because you're allowed 15 cents, and I put my chocolate
02:47in my cents.
02:48So it's all about moderation?
02:50Yes.
02:50Yeah, yeah.
02:51Well, Cole, you look fantastic, so good luck.
