Jay Wornick, the Fulton man who won a New Year's bet with his wife, Angela, when he lost nearly 200 pounds in 10 months, has traveled to New York City to film a segment titled "New Year's Resolution Solutions" for Anderson Cooper's morning talk show, "Anderson." The segment is scheduled to air 9 a.m. Jan. 2 on Fox. In the segment, the couple discusses Jay's dramatic weight loss as well as Angela's recent weight-loss efforts. Using Jay's weight-loss program, she has lost 17 pounds in three weeks.

"She's doing great," Jay said. "She's kicking butt."

Jay was also recently chosen one of the "Most Fascinating Central New Yorkers of 2011" by viewers of WSYR-TV (Channel 9).

"Apparently, I'm the most fascinating person in Central New York," Jay said, laughing. "I didn't even know I was nominated and wouldn't have known I won if a friend on Facebook hadn't told me to watch the news."
