Reality TV star Casey King has detailed his exact weight loss after sharing some incredible transformation photos on social media.
A number of TV shows over the years have followed individuals in their efforts to shed the pounds and maintain a more healthy lifestyle.
Take 1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton for example, who lost a whopping 500lbs on the TLC series over the years.
Casey is another individual to have gone on a incredible journey, having appeared on Family By the Ton back in 2018, weighing 845 pounds when he first graced our screens.

When the series first touched base with the now 40-year-old he was living with his dad, unemployed, playing video games and eating all day.
On top of that, he revealed how he had to bathe in an outdoor trough because he couldn't physically fit inside a bath or shower.
Casey was kicked out of his mother's home after failing to sustain a job, and as he continued to pile on the pounds, he knew something had to give.
The American underwent a vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedure and initially lost 70 pounds after the operation and has since shed a whopping 600 pounds after embarking on health and lifestyle changes.
Come 2023, Casey was down to 245 pounds as he gave fans an emotional update on his progress in 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," he explained.
"I felt like a freak show. I didn't shower inside. I showered in a trough tub outside for a while.”
Casey's dad, Danny, also appeared emotional as he spoke on the massive progress 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," he said on the show.
According to his Instagram bio, Casey's goal weight is 225 pounds, but there's no doubt he's undergone a remarkable transformation compared to when Family By the Ton star first appeared on the TV.
Fans of Casey continue to support the reality star with his weight loss journey, having taken to the comments section to praise the 40-year-old.
"You are literally one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever come across. Incredible resilience and determination fr," one person penned.
While a second added: "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."
