"Reiner Calmund expresses sacrifice: 'I relinquished more than half my life for my child'"
In a remarkable turn of events, Reiner Calmund, the former football manager, has embarked on a remarkable weight loss journey. The 62-year-old, who once weighed over 180 kilograms, has shed half his weight, now tipping the scales at 95 kilograms.
Calmund's motivation for this transformation is deeply personal. He adopted his 15-year-old daughter, Nicha, from an orphanage in Thailand. The adoption, a moment of deep affection for Calmund, was witnessed by Nicha with a sense of determination. As the adoption process unfolded, Nicha looked at Calmund as if she was saying, 'get on with it.'
Despite a health scare in December, Calmund's weight loss journey is not related to his health issues. A stent was inserted for him in a Cologne hospital, but he has since made a full recovery, according to RTL. The health issue did not affect Calmund's decision to lose weight, nor did it dampen his desire to remain agile and mobile for his daughter.
Calmund's dedication to his health is evident. He wants to be there for Nicha, not just as a father, but as a companion who can keep up with her. This desire is a driving force behind his weight loss journey.
Calmund's transformation has been well-documented. In a magazine spread, he and Nicha posed together, their bond evident in the photographs. The images capture a father and daughter who share a special connection, a testament to Calmund's commitment to his family.
Professionally, Calmund has also been making waves. He was a juror on RTL's 'Grill den Henssler,' but announced his departure from the show in March. During his tenure, he was often seen evaluating dishes, but a dizzy spell during the recording of an episode in December prompted him to reconsider his health.
Despite his departure from 'Grill den Henssler,' Calmund remains a figure of inspiration. His weight loss journey, driven by his love for his daughter, is a testament to his resilience and dedication. As he continues on this journey, he is not just losing weight, but also setting an example for those around him.
