Casey King’s transformation is a powerful example of perseverance. Once weighing 845 pounds, he shed over two-thirds of his weight through determination, lifestyle changes, and surgery.
King first shared his struggles on TLC’s Family by the Ton, revealing years of unhealthy eating and inactivity that made everyday tasks nearly impossible. Motivated to reclaim his life, he committed to a strict diet, started exercising, and underwent gastric sleeve surgery—dropping from 711 pounds to 525.
He also found stability through a job at Home Depot, which boosted his confidence and helped him stay on track. On Instagram, he shared, “I’m the healthiest and happiest I’ve been in forever.”
Casey’s goal now is to lose 25 more pounds and possibly undergo skin removal surgery. His story offers real hope to anyone facing a difficult journey: change is possible with patience and perseverance.
