Austin “Chumlee” Russell, Pawn Stars – 130 Pounds
After appearing on the History Channel’s Pawn Stars, Austin Lee Russell became known as Chumlee. He had the chance to be on television since he began working at the venue (the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop) five years before it was broadcast on television.
Right around 2013, Chumlee started getting more serious about his lifestyle. He underwent gastric sleeve surgery, which has reduced his body size by about half. The reality TV star lost 130 pounds by following food programs before and after the operation (as well as the surgery itself). He also reportedly hits the gym six times a week and maintains a healthy diet.
