"Dancing Kevin," the big-bellied Columbus Blue Jackets superfan known for whipping off his jersey and dancing up a storm on the jumbotron, is looking a whole lot different these days.

Kevin Schroeder began a diet and workout regime in January to drop some weight off his 358-pound frame. He's slimmed down considerably since, and showed off his weight loss at the Blue Jackets' season opener Thursday night.

It was an unbelievable evening tonight @nationwidearena. I am so #honored and #grateful that the @bluejacketsnhl shared a #video tribute of my #healthjourney tonight on the Jumbotron. I cannot say thank you enough for everything they have done for me and the unbelievable support from them and the #wearethe5thline. You guys are the best #fans in the entire world and because of you I was able to accomplish this. #Hockey fans are the best! Thanks @dr_jackskaggs for more than the picture but being more than a trainer but a close #friend that saved my life. @claircrawford you too and @papayafitmeal and so many others. #weightlossjourney #nhl #blessed #asseenincolumbus #Marchwithus #KCCO #chiveon
