The Weight-Loss Journey the Internet Can't Look Away From

Ethan Benard has always loved who he is on the inside, but now he’s fighting to love his physical body. After reaching 600 pounds, he began sharing his weight-loss journey publicly, pushing for a future built on health, purpose, and grit.

Recently, he dropped into CrossFit Mayhem in Cookeville, Tennessee, where the community showed up big, welcoming him and fueling his mission to change his life.

Benard is already down 200 pounds, and says his only regret is not prioritizing his health sooner.
