Ryan weighed 740 pounds when he appeared in the show. He couldn’t perform any basic tasks due to his obesity. The My 600-lb Life alum began to gain weight when he was a child. He was heavily addicted to food, and there was nobody around to help him control his lifestyle.

Ryan mostly relied on his mother and her boyfriend for his daily needs. It even came to a point where he almost couldn’t fit in the bathroom. His determination to have an independent life and family pushed him to seek Dr. Now’s help. But he struggled with meeting the surgeon, and they never met throughout the episode.

Ryan’s Weight Loss Journey

Despite not getting to see each other, Ryan still followed the 1200-calorie diet that Dr. Now gave him. But he wasn’t able to let go of junk food that easily, leading to slow progress. He even began to snack on celery, which is healthy. However, Dr. Now never allowed his patients to have such habits. The former My 600-lb Life star began to lose the desire to continue his physical goals and just lost 80 pounds in 12 months, dropping him to 660 lbs.
