Reality television personality Casey King has shared the specifics of his weight loss journey after posting some remarkable transformation images on his social media channels.
Over time, several TV programs have documented individuals striving to lose weight and adopt healthier lifestyles.
For instance, Tammy Slaton from the show 1000-lb Sisters has achieved a notable weight loss of 500lbs on the TLC network over a number of years.
Casey is another individual who has undergone an impressive transformation. He made his television debut on the show Family By the Ton in 2018, initially weighing 845 pounds.
At the beginning of the series, Casey, now 40, was living with his father, was unemployed, and spent his time playing video games and eating.
Additionally, he disclosed that he was forced to bathe in an outdoor trough due to not fitting into a traditional bath or shower.
After being evicted from his mother’s house for not holding a job and continuing to gain weight, Casey realized a significant change was necessary.
To address his weight, the American underwent a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, initially losing 70 pounds post-surgery. He continued to lose weight, ultimately shedding an impressive 600 pounds through lifestyle modifications.
By 2023, Casey had reduced his weight to 245 pounds and shared an emotional update about his progress on the Truly series Brand New Me.
“My lifestyle at my heaviest was kind of non-existent. I didn’t really like people. I didn’t like being seen. I didn’t like socialising,” Casey detailed.
“I felt like a freak show. I didn’t shower inside. I showered in a trough tub outside for a while,” he added.
His father, Danny, was visibly moved as he discussed the significant strides his son has made.
“I never in my wildest dreams would have thought he would have got down to what he is now. It’s been one hell of a journey, and I tell you what, I’m so proud of him,” Danny expressed on the show.
According to his Instagram bio, Casey aims to reach 225 pounds. Regardless, he has undeniably experienced a dramatic change since his first appearance on Family By the Ton.
Supporters of Casey continue to encourage his weight loss journey, often expressing admiration in the comments section.
“You are literally one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever come across. Incredible resilience and determination fr,” one follower wrote.
Another commented: “Been keeping track of your progress for years now and you inspire me to do better all the time, it lightens my day every time I see you doing well.”
