Losing weight is hard, but a little push from one of your favorite athletes makes it a little easier.

Two years ago, Cowboys super-fan Matthew Sistrunk challenged himself to lose 100 pounds just to get a signed jersey from wide receiver Dez Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo. Well, after losing 400 pounds Sistrunk finally got to meet Bryant.
