Get Fit with the Stars: Inspiring Celebrity Weight Loss Stories & Effective Weight Loss Strategies

James Argent – 98 Lbs

“The Only Way Is Essex” is a British show about beautiful ladies and lean mean guys from the county of Essex. Yet, James Argent was different. He was a little heavier than the usual “TOWIE” stars, and although it didn’t make him any less attractive, doctors wanted him to know that if he didn’t lose weight, he could die.

He tried many things, including entering the “Sugar Free Farm” show. None of that kept the weight off, though, until he got a gastric bypass in 2017. Since getting the procedure, Argent has lost 98 pounds. He also intends to improve his fitness as part of his lifestyle change.
