WASHINGTON, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Today, over 60 of America's top fitness industry leaders signed an open letter calling on all United States governors to allow gyms to remain open safely as states take action to curb the COVID-19 crisis.

The letter cites specific science-backed evidence that gyms are not the culprit when it comes to spikes in COVID-19 cases, in part due to their strong safety and sanitation protocols as they reopen. It also advocates for the mental and physical health benefits of exercising, particularly the maintenance of a healthy immune system.

The full text of the letter, officially issued by the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), may be found hereand below.

BACKGROUND:

After COVID-19 caused gyms to close for several months, business owners took action to adapt and make sure that their businesses could reopen safely and responsibly by putting forward new policies and protocols that follow social distancing guidelines and enhance cleaning and sanitation practices. While most states have allowed gyms to reopen in some capacity, some states like Michigan and New York have yet to reopen gyms. Additionally, Arizona recently shut down gyms for 30 days because of a spike of COVID-19 cases although evidence did not show that the gyms were responsible for the spikes. In response to this, many of the nation's top fitness industry leaders are speaking out and calling on governors to look at scientific evidence that proves gyms are safe to exercise in.

LETTER:

July 7, 2020

To the Governors of the United States of America:

Health and wellness have never been more essential to our country as they are at this very moment.

We know each of you is under immense pressure to stop the spread of COVID-19 in your state. We are writing to ask that you consider scientific evidence, Americans' mental and physical health, and not shut down gyms and fitness centers that can operate safely.

As leaders in the fitness and wellness industry, we value above all else the health and wellbeing of the millions of members (and staff) who visit the tens of thousands of gyms, clubs and studios operating across the 50 states. We are equally committed to doing our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and our members, who are health conscious, share this mindset.

Here is what we know: There is clear evidence that the fitness industry is not the problem when it comes to the spread of the virus.

Evidence shows the fitness industry is not spreading COVID-19. This past spring, we closed our facilities in good faith and based on your mandates to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. Given how little was known about the new virus, it was the right thing to do for the safety and well-being of our members and employees. We then worked within each of your states to develop stringent safety and sanitation protocols for reopening fitness locations including limited capacities, distancing mandates, sanitation and cleaning standards, face mask requirements for staff members and more.

It was also important for us to share these rigorous reopening standards with our members, who are health conscious and understand that our facilities are reopening in a safe and responsible manner.

Today, we have evidence since reopening that gyms, clubs and studios are not causing the current virus spikes many states are seeing.

In a survey of 135 clubs with 3,443,123 total check-ins, fitness industry consultant, Blair McHaney of MXM/Medallia reports that there were 0.004% of positive cases reported as of June 30.

Contact tracing in some states supports this finding. For example, while Arkansas is experiencing a spike in COVID-19 cases, contact tracing from the state government shows 0.3% of newly infected individuals visited a gym. Additionally, new research from the University of Oslo found no COVID-19 transmissions associated with fitness centers in a randomized trial of reopened fitness facilities. (As a result, Norway reopened its gyms nationwide.)

Meanwhile... there's an absence of evidence.

It's worth noting that our industry has seen NO tracing data provided by public health officials that indicates that gyms, clubs or studios in the U.S. are contributing to the spread of the virus.

And let's not forget: Exercise strengthens immune systems

Moderate exercise has been shown time and again to help immune systems. Data shows that obesity increases the likelihood of hospitalization with a COVID-19 infection six-fold.

However, according to worldwide fitness tracker data, physical activity has decreased by 5% since the pandemic began no doubt, in part to the shutdown of gyms, clubs and studios. The millions of Americans who represent our members make a conscious decision to take care of their individual physical health by working out. They also know that exercise has emotional and mental benefits as well. These Americans are worthy of having access to the gyms, clubs and studios to take care of their health.

Combined, these data points offer clear indications that the safety and sanitation policies implemented at gyms, clubs and studios that have been allowed to reopen are effective and that these businesses may pose little to no additional risk for COVID-19 transmission compared to other public places.

Plus, we provide an essential service to help Americans stay healthy and strong. The vast majority of clubs, gyms and studios across the U.S. are small, locally-owned businesses.

They provide essential services to their members, are responsible members of their community and are safe to operate according to all available scientific evidence.

We call on you, governors, and your respective departments of health, to consider the evidence on where the virus is spreading when making decisions and allow gyms, clubs and studios to safely operate in your state. As an industry, we will in turn continue to operate in good faith to ensure the facilities that millions of Americans trust to help them stay healthy and strong are clean, safe and operating in a responsible manner.

To your health and wellness,

The editors at SheFinds wrote this post on behalf of Noom and received compensation as part of our agreement.

Summer is full of fun activities like bike rides, camping trips, beach days and more. The thing is, all these activities require (or are at least more comfortable with) much less clothing than youd wear in cooler seasons. Heres how to get yourself ready to truly enjoy all of them.

Get Support

Lets face it: Losing weight is hard. Dont make it even harder by attempting to struggle through it on your own. Instead, look for a health and wellness program like Noom that provides cognitive-behavioral coaching, nutritional education, and group support. The idea is to help you create a healthier lifestyle thats sustainable for the long term, and avoid methods like crash dieting that tend to lead to weight see-saws.

Skip The Alcohol

As delicious as a glass of wine or a frozen margarita might sound, both are filled with calories. Alcohol has a similar chemical composition as sugar, which means it also has a similar effect on your body. And the benefit of cutting out adult drinks is that its simpleyou dont need to do any sort of modifications to your diet. Give it a month or two and see how you feel. Even if you dont drop any pounds, you can feel good about giving your liver a break.

Choose Fresh Produce

One of the best parts of summer is all the fresh fruits and veggies that come into season. Produce like watermelon, peaches, berries, broccoli, asparagus, and cucumber are great because they have tons of nutrients but not many calories, and help you feel full for a longer period of time. Theyre also low in carbs, which is another weight-loss bonus, and have been shown to decrease the chances of certain cancers and type two diabetes. Aim for about half of your plate to be filled with produce, and at least five full servings a day.

Stay Active

The great thing about summer is that there are all sorts of differentand fun!ways to get moving. Instead of forcing yourself onto a treadmill or through a weight-lifting routine (unless thats what you truly love to do), find an activity that you truly enjoy. Go for a long walk in the park, play badminton or volleyball with some friends, try to learn how to slackline whatever makes you happy! The most important thing is that youre moving your body, not the exact way in which you do it. After all, finding something you love will make you much more likely to actually stick with it.

Switch to Seltzer

Summer is full of opportunities for sweet drinks like lemonade, juice, and soda, but do your best not to indulge. If youre craving some sort of fun beverage, try sparkling water with natural flavoring (and no sweetenerfake or otherwise!). Just like eliminating alcohol, cutting back on virgin drinks is an quick way to decrease calories with very little thought of effort. Drinking more water will also help you stay hydrated, which is essential during the warmer months. And when youre craving fruit, choose the whole, unpressed version. The most nutrition is packed into the skin, which doesnt tend to make it through the juicing process.

Staying healthy is on top of all of our minds. Being fit, having a strong body, and feeling good is and will forever be a top priority, but also a great challenge for most of us.

The good news? Food can help. What we eat can dramatically change how our body works, which means we should pay attention to what we serve on our plates.

Herbs and spices have been part of ancient traditional medicine for centuries, and for excellent reasons. As science shows today, many plants and spices are great for us.

Here are the five healthiest herbs and spices you can add to your diet today to start feeling better.

Turmeric is widely used in curries and Asian-inspired stews; it adds an indescribable warmth and a lovely bright orange-hued color to food. Still, turmeric is not only useful in the kitchen, but its also the single most potent condiment for your health.

For starters, turmeric has a bioactive compound called curcumin that has proved to be a potent anti-inflammatory.

Chronic inflammation causes many cancers and heart diseases, so controlling it is essential for enjoying a long, plentiful life If you can do it through food even better.

Turmeric also has a positive effect on our brain and might reduce the risk of getting Alzheimers disease.

Cayenne peppers, and all hot peppers, for that matter, have a healthy compound called capsaicin. Capsaicin gives peppers their heat, and although you might not love spicy food, its excellent for your health.

Capsaicin boosts your metabolism, lowers your pressure, and promotes the production of the happy, feel-good hormone dopamine. This all means that eating spicy food seasoned with cayenne peppers or any other spicy pepper can help treat depression and is an all-natural pain killer.

Rushes of adrenalin released when your palate feels the heat are quite healthy too, as they get your heart pumping, and thats a great exercise.

Ancient Asian cultures have been using ginger not only at the heart of their traditional food but also as medicine, and modern scientific evidence backs all the health claims.

The active compound in the aromatic rhizome is Gingerol. Garlic is also a powerful anti-inflammatory but has many other health benefits, its a natural antibiotic that can kill harmful bacteria, and it lowers your blood pressure.

Consuming ginger regularly can also lower your bad (low density) cholesterol in your bloodstream, keeping your arteries clear and your heart in shape.

Having said that, ginger adds delicious aromatics to stews and stir-fries, it is a friendly companion to sushi, and its making its way into western cuisines too.

Rosemary is an aromatic herb commonly used in Mediterranean cuisines in all kinds of dishes, from seafood to steak. The needle-shaped leaves are tasty, yes, but also healthy.

Some studies suggest eating rosemary can keep your nervous system and brain healthy, preventing diseases like dementia. Other encouraging results have shown that the herb can help control the growth of skin and other cancers.

Popular in aromatherapy, both rosemary leaves and rosemary oils have still undiscovered health benefits that might soon change the way we look at medical treatments.

Sage, the sweet and savory herb prominent in Mediterranean kitchens and widely consumed in the form of tea, is quite powerful flavor- and health-wise. You only need a few sage leaves to change the flavor profile of a dish completely. Slight amounts of the leaf can alsostrengthenyour health considerably.

Sage can lower our sugar levels, which is useful for people with insulin deficiency. It can also improve our brain health and memory while lower cholesterol levels in our bloodstream.

Acting on our bodies at different levels, sage is, without a doubt, one of the healthiest herbs you can enjoy today. As scientific research shows more positive results, well be seeing the flavorful herb more often on menus and medical treatments alike.

Its All About Balance

Adding the herbs and spices above will definitely give you a health boost, but remember, staying healthy is all about balance.

A balanced diet and an active lifestyle are the best way of staying fit or losing those few extra pounds. Spice up your life with healthy seasonings, and share the love!You can find out more about the health benefits of herbs at Chefbega.com.

Plus-sized Nigerian actress Eniola Badmus has lamented over her plump body saying she does not want to be fat and unhealthy.

Eniola told Punch News that she wants to maintain a healthy and sexy body figure and when she was asked about losing the weight she said;

She said;

I didnt initially decide to go on a weight loss journey; it chose me. It all started when I put up a post a while back about weight loss companies using slim people to promote their products and services. I told them to use me if truly their products work. A lot of them picked up the challenge but I was able to settle with the deshapeables. I decided to work with them because I like their plan and I hope it would work.

The 42-year-old thespian and movie producer emphasized that she has no plans on becoming slim because she has accepted who she is and her plus-size figure will not in anyway affect her work or her brand.

In fairness, I really cant tell if losing weight would help my brand because with or without losing weight, Im Eniola Badmus. If this works, people would just see the new body on me. However, its not going to be a total transformation because I still want to be a chubby girl; not slim. The goal is to be chubby but sexier. Maybe like losing three sizes. People should not think that I would be a shadow of who they know. Im only doing this because I want to. No matter how much we shout about body positivity, one would still have to be on a diet. One would have to watch what one eats and exercise.

I dont want to be plus-size and unhealthy. I might not work-out like fitness enthusiasts but I try to keep fit. For clarity sake, I didnt and dont bend to societal pressure. I have a very thick skin and like to do whatever suites me at any particular time. The idea is to see what I would look like afterwards. There are some clothes I feel like wearing but cant wear them till I lose weight. I still belong to the fat girls association.

That is roughly 13.7 million children and adolescents in this country that are obese. I believe many people today know obesity is a rising problem that can lead to more harmful conditions and diseases later in life. Also, I am confident many people are aware of solutions to help decrease the prevalence! However, the secret to success is not just in the knowledge, but in the action. It is not a complex formula, but it is not easy either. Living a healthy lifestyle and being at a healthy weight does not need to include a magic pill, fad diet, or widgets found on TV.

Instead of a short-term fix, it is important that we help instill long-term change as well as tools and habits that can set up children today, to be healthy adults in the future! So how can we instill healthy habits and behaviors in children?

1. Move more, sit less. Be active.

2. Food is fuel, not the enemy. Eat nutritious foods.

3. Have accountability. Make it a family endeavor.

These three bullets are very beneficial for keeping your child healthy and at a healthy weight.

Exercise daily! Move everyday and make it fun! I discourage parents, coaches, etc. from talking poorly about exercise. If you use it as punishment or as some grueling event, what do you think that young moldable mind will think about an active lifestyle? They will associate that as bad or as a punishment! Promote movement and exercise as a good thing and make it fun.

Food is fuel to our bodies and gives us energy throughout the day. Avoid using food to punish or reward your child. Instead, practice mindful eating. Mindful eating is the philosophy that you eat when you are hungry and stop when you are satisfied. It focuses on being attentive and present when you are eating. Leave the distractions of watching TV, playing on the phone, or reading a magazine. Also, incorporate your child in grocery shopping and preparing meals. When children get to enjoy what they prepared, they will be more apt to eat it and not waste it. When preparing the meal, try to add more color to the plate by adding a serving of fruit and a vegetable.

Lastly, be an accountability partner and help your children keep you accountable also. When you can have an accountability partner, successful results exponentially increase. Do not discourage, poke fun, or insult their efforts. When one slips for a day, understand we are human and are prone to make mistakes. Rather than giving up, encourage them to get back on the wagon and work to accomplish their goal.

These strategies listed above are not groundbreaking, so why is obesity a perpetual (growing problem) in the United States?

My wife is a dietitian and I am a physical therapist. Over time we have noticed that clients that develop a support system, take in quality food (in proper quantities) and consistently exercise get better, faster! In short they take responsibility for their current state and take action.

How exactly does one help his or her child apply these practices? I believe there are a few fundamental principles that go beyond the three keys to success listed above that not only will help your childs health, but also his/her confidence and overall well-being.

1. Having a why that is bigger than that mammoth muffin in front of them. To have you and your children be successful for the long run, your why needs to be visible and on the forefront of your mind. It might be to make it on a sports team or fit into a certain dress. It might be to no longer be made fun of, or to simply be more healthy I cant pick your why, that is up to you!

For me, the decision to get healthy was multifactorial. Yes, I am saying this from experience. I was an overweight, insecure, freshman in high school. I was tired of getting picked on because of my weight. I wanted to prove mean people wrong and had a burning desire to start on the varsity hockey team as a sophomore.

My aspirations, goals, priorities in life have changed, but habits gained during that season stuck with me. I have learned to love exercise and crave many healthy foods that fuel my body. It has not always been easy, but it has been totally worth it.

Motivation will get you started, discipline will carry you through. My why was bigger than some of the initial pains of consistent exercise and saying no to sugary food.

2. I believe another important factor to overall health is a mindset shift and an attitude adjustment! I believe this develops gradually as one begins working toward their goal. It is important to develop the attitude that exercise and nutritious food is your friend and not the enemy and that your body should be respected and cared for.

In order to create a healthy mindset around physical activity and quality food choices, parents should promote a mindset for your child that says, I am a healthy person, and do the things a healthy person would do.

James Clear speaks on this in his book, Atomic Habits. If you dont know how to get healthier, ask yourself, What would a healthy person do? A healthy person would exercise today, even if it is for only a couple of minutes. A healthy person would have some fruit and vegetables with most meals and probably would say no to second helpings. Dessert would be eaten with discretion! So saying no to dessert more often than not, may be a good idea. As a parent, by incorporating these strategies into your own life, you are setting an example for your children. Create a family environment that says, We are a family that is healthy. If you are not that family currently, start today.

The beautiful thing about a mindset is that you can start thinking like a victor rather than a victim immediately! Set the example for the adolescents in your own life. Move with them, try tasty and nutritious dishes with them, make it a team effort and create an environment of accountability.

3. Help your kids see themselves as a valuable creation. I dont want to get preachy, but understand that mind, body and spirit are all huge factors in how one treats and views him or herself. A positive attitude and mindset early in life will help build confidence in that child throughout his or her lifetime. Creating a mentality from an early age that stewards ones body by intentional eating and consistent exercise is important.

In fact, eating well, getting enough sleep and exercising have all been shown to reduce anxiety and depression. It also has been linked to improved performance and concentration in the classroom and in life. Helping your kids understand they have worth is paramount!

How you do that is beyond the scope of this article.

To recap, here are all the principles discussed in this article that are important for creating a healthy lifestyle and environment for your child(ren) and family.

Developing a healthy lifestyle and weight is not a sprint. The tips and suggestions provided in this article dont include a crash diet or how to lose weight fast. The microwave approach isnt sustainable for long-term success. What I am talking about is real, long-term victory. It is throwing the ingredients in a crockpot and seeing the plan come to fruition overtime. This way of doing and thinking requires discipline. If you commit to it, it will work! Unfortunately, because it is work, some will not take action over their situation.

I hope you begin to reshape your family tree today by building a mindset of mental toughness, hard work, and positive relationships today!

My wife, Emily and I are passionate about people reaching their full potential. If you have questions or would like to chat about any of the above content, dont hesitate to reach out to us at ibitter4@gmail.com or emilylouise724@gmail.com.

Charles Duhigg is an expert on habit formation. He notes that every habit includes three things: 1. Cue. 2. Habit. 3. Reward.

Whether you are working to quit smoking, biting your nails, hitting the snooze alarm, to quit drinking pop, etc. the solution is the same. One needs to use the cue that triggered the old habit and reward the new habit the same way!

For example, a family has a big dessert every night. The cue is we just got done with dinner. The reward is that we are spending time as a family. If one is working to build a better habit to maintain a healthy weight, one could use the cue of being done with dinner and implement a different family activity like playing a board game or (better yet) go outside for a walk, shoot hoops, etc. The reward for the child remains the same: spending time with his/her family, and doing something they enjoy with people they care about.

As legislators fled the Capitol as the coronavirus spread through Connecticut last March, they failed to approve the annual limit on the states credit card a seemingly routine task, but one whose absence now jeopardizes billions of dollars in planned projects.

Its unclear whether lawmakers will address this oversight later this month when they return to Hartford for a special legislative session, or defer action until after the November elections. Their ability to postpone delivering the bad news ultimately hinges on Connecticuts cash position remaining strong and having other resources on hand to pay the bills.

Bluntly, we are ignoring what we know to be the reality of the current situation, Deputy House Minority Leader Vincent J. Candelora, D-North Branford, wrote recently in a letter to legislative leaders. The sooner we face reality, the sooner we can start to plan to address this enormous challenge.

Connecticut borrows billions of dollars annually for capital projects by selling bonds on Wall Street. But there is a borrowing limit and its tied to the revenues the state expects to receive each year. As expectations for tax receipts and other resources shrink, so does the debt limit.

Revenue forecasts were high when lawmakers left the Capitol on Wednesday, March 11, to allow for a four-day deep cleaning of the complex. Had the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee before it left approved a revenue schedule for the fiscal year beginning July 1, the debt limit would have been set high as well.

But lawmakers, who expected to return to the Capitol the following Monday, never came back because COVID-19 infections rapidly spread. Leaders indefinitely postponed business, and since then, state analysts have dramatically lowered their revenue projections by more than $2 billion for this fiscal year and for each of the next two.

Over three years the combined reduction approaches $7 billion, according to an April 30 report. The projections reflect the fact that more than 600,000 Connecticut residents became unemployed as the pandemic shuttered thousands of businesses or forced them to scale back operations.

Some of the revenue drop is temporary. Gov. Ned Lamont deferred income, corporation and other state tax filing deadlines from April 15 until mid-July to assist struggling Connecticut households and companies a move praised by lawmakers from both parties.

But Candelora said Connecticut, nonetheless, clearly has to scale back its borrowing now.

State law caps not only the outstanding bond debt the state can carry at any given time, but also how much new bonding legislators can tentatively schedule for future approved projects waiting in line to receive financing.

By law, when the state gets within 90% of the debt limit, the governor must craft a plan to immediately reduce planned borrowing below that threshold. If debt exceeds 100%, then all borrowing is shut down.

State Treasurer Shawn T. Wooden warned recently that were the finance committee to adopt a revenue schedule that matched the recent April 30 forecast, Connecticut would be within 99.3% of its debt limit. Lamont and legislators would need to postpone $2.2 billion in planned borrowing to get down to the 90% threshold.

Legislators routinely authorize borrowing for projects months or even years before the state actually borrows the funds to carry them out. The State Bond Commission also has to endorse a project before it is financed, and in some cases, initiatives approved by the legislature never receive funding.

But this doesnt stop lawmakers from touting the project as soon as the General Assembly gives its OK, particularly if it involves a project earmarked for a legislators home district. Nor does it stop Wall Street credit rating agencies from considering these legislative authorizations when assessing Connecticuts credit worthiness.

Wooden said Thursday that certain caution is still warranted, involving the debt cap. We continue to take careful note of the matter.

Caution is needed because Connecticut doesnt borrow money only to finance capital projects. When the states cash balance is low, the treasurer may temporarily shift bond proceeds into the common cash pool so the state can pay its operating bills. The treasurers office was forced to make several such transfers during the last recession, but Wooden has said Connecticuts cash position, to date, has been strong.

But if cash reserves run low before the November elections, Connecticut may need to borrow funds. To facilitate that, legislators first would need to reset the states debt limit. And to do that, apparently, Lamont and legislators would need to put billions of dollars worth of projects on hold at the worst time from a political standpoint.

The state debt limit calculation sent to legislators by Treasurer Shawn Wooden.

Connecticut ranks among the most indebted states, per capita, in the nation, and debt service costs consume more than 10% of the annual budget, a problem that prompted Lamont to press for his debt diet immediately upon taking office in January 2019. To date, though, the governors fellow Democrats in the legislatures majority have balked at that diet.

Chris McClure, spokesman for Lamonts budget office, said if the legislature adopts a new schedule, and adjustments are needed, we will work with them to find the best possible solution. If that includes necessary adjustments to bond authorizations, we are able to do so at any timeincluding in the next regular session.

But Rep. Jason Rojas, D-East Hartford, who co-chairs the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, said its premature to act until Connecticut gets a clearer picture on its eroding revenues, which may take several more months.

We still dont have a clear picture of exactly where things stand, he said. Income tax and other key tax filings are due on July 15, and the state should have a clearer picture of its finances later this summer or early in the fall, Rojas added.

Rep. Chris Davis of Ellington, ranking House Republican on the finance panel, said with Connecticut and the nation sinking into recession, legislators cant plan to borrow funds taxpayers cant afford to repay.

We dont want to over-extend ourselves in an emergency situation, Davis said. We realize the economy is in a deep recession and its unclear when its going to lift. It would be unwise of us to continue to spend.

Vanderpump Rules star Randall Emmett is getting trim and fans are taking note. The Hollywood producer is noticeably slimmer in recent photos posted to his social media. He often thanks fans commenting on his weight loss. In a recent post, he confirmed that hes been working hard on getting healthier.

The VPR star is currently in Puerto Rico with Lala Kent. While the couple are enjoying the trip, its a working vacation. Randall is making his directorial debut with the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass. Us Weekly reports that the movie is finally filming again after a short hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The movie stars heavy-hitters such as Bruce Willis and Megan Fox. Rapper-turned-actor Machine Gun Kelly is also starring in the movie. In fact, he recently began a real-life romance with his movie co-star, Megan Fox.

Randalls photos get very different comments. A recent photo of him and Lala had fans speculating that she was pregnant. Shes wearing a tracksuit in the photo, which is very suspicious to some fans.

Over the July 4th weekend, another photo of the couple got a lot of comments aimed at Randall. Several fans wrote comments about Randalls visible weight loss. He replied to one fan saying that hes been working hard on getting fit and exercising.

See a comparison from four months ago vs. Fourth of July weekend.

Randall only recently began appearing on Vanderpump Rules. Even though hes been dating Lala since 2016, it was only on Season 8 that fans got a glimpse of Randall. Before that, no one on the show was allowed to so much as say his name.

As a result, many fans didnt really know much about Randall, let alone what he looked like. Fans did get hints that he was older and heavyset from VPRs James Kennedys comments. In fact, during fights with Lala, James would often make fun of Randall, specifically his weight.

As a result, fans didnt know what to expect with Randall showing up for Season 8. However, Randalls humor and obvious love for Lala quickly made him a fan favorite. His physical appearance didnt get much attention from fans.

But his recent photos where hes slimmer are gaining a lot of attention regarding his looks. One fan compared him to a young Lorenzo Lamas from Falcon Crest fame.

In addition to winning over fans, Randall won over James Kennedy, as well. The two are close friends a year after Season 8 of Vanderpump Rules. (Season 8 began airing in January, but was filmed during the summer of 2019.)

During the final episode of Season 8, James took Randall aside to personally apologize for his nasty comments. James recently celebrated the one-year mark on his journey to sobriety. His apology to Randall was part of making amends for his drunken behavior.

Randalls weight loss may have something to do with his upcoming wedding to Lala Kent. The couple were set to marry in April, but had to push their wedding back to sometime this summer.

Check back with us for updates on if/when Vanderpump Rules will return for Season 9.
