Over the course of the five years following the loss of his father to cancer in 1999, Ricardo's weight ballooned from 180 lbs to 250 lbs. It took him two years to lose the weight. During those two years he videotaped many of his performances and edited them together into one video to demonstrate his weight loss success[7].
