Tim McGraw Reveals 40-Pound Weight Loss While Flyboarding
Tim McGraw is making waves during his beach vacation this week, and not just by "flyboarding" with a water-powered jetpack.
The 46-year-old country music star shared a photo of himself shirtless while flyboarding high above the water on St. Patrick's Day this week. However, fans were even more astonished by the photo because it revealed McGraw's 40-pound weight loss.
"Here's how I'm spending St. Patrick's Day," McGraw posted to his over 1.6 million Twitter followers on Monday.

The photo featured a clear blue sky and the singer propelled high in the air while riding the water-powered recreational device. Furthermore, the photo displayed McGraw's chiseled six-pack abs, leading fans to wonder about his obvious workout habits and diet.
"The shirtless wonder Tim McGraw channeled his inner superhero on Monday, jetting out of a body of water," Music City Tunes posted to Twitter in response to the singer's photo.
Tom added, "I always feel good about weight loss until I see @TimMcGraw, something to shoot for!"
McGraw's weight loss comes as no surprise though- the "Highway Don't Care" singer recently admitted that he had quit drinking and replaced whiskey with working out.
"I drank a lot from my point of view and I needed to stop," he told People magazine last year. "I felt quitting was something I needed to do. I didn't feel I had any moral high ground with my kids in the long run."
McGraw has been married to Faith Hill since 1996 and they share three daughters together. Five years ago, McGraw began working out instead of consuming alcohol, and he has been hooked ever since.
"Working out is a great way to go out on stage," he told People. "When I hit the stage, my adrenaline is going and I'm ready."
Meanwhile, McGraw is not the only celebrity to make waves while jetboarding. Leonardo DiCaprio was recently spotted using a Jetlev that can propel users 30 feet into the air by using force from water. Although the adrenaline-inducing water device is gaining popularity, the water jetpacks may propose risks to the environment.
Scientists and state officials in Hawaii are concerned about the safety of the jetpacks as well as their effects in the water, such as on fish and coral. The concern lies in the water pressure used with the device, its loud noise, as well as the safety of the users and the wildlife.
