HGTV star Ben Napier is sharing the details of his impressive 95-pound weight loss, revealing the journey that led to a healthier lifestyle. During a March 2025 appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, alongside his wife and Home Town Takeover co-star Erin Napier, Ben discussed how he lost nearly 100 pounds over the past three years, citing his motivation as a need to address his high blood pressure and recover from shoulder surgery.
Napier explained that his doctor recommended blood pressure medication, which prompted him to make a lifestyle change. Additionally, after undergoing shoulder surgery in 2023, Ben noticed rapid weight loss—much of it muscle—due to being unable to lift weights during his recovery. “It’s amazing when you can’t lift weights how much weight you lose really fast,” he said.
Erin Napier, who supported her husband’s decision to improve his health, emphasized that she never pressured him to lose weight. “He was really super self-motivated,” Erin said. She also expressed her desire for her husband to live a long life, particularly for their two daughters, Helen, 7, and Mae, 3. “I just want him to be alive as long as I am, and I want him to be there for our girls,” she added.
In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight in November 2023, Ben shared that he began making lifestyle changes in 2022. “We’re all trying to be healthier. We’re trying to live longer,” he said.
Yoga and Intermittent Fasting as Key Components of His Routine
In his latest interview, Ben revealed that yoga has become a central part of his fitness regimen, alongside intermittent fasting, which his wife confirmed. Erin also mentioned that Ben has been dedicated to growing his own food, building a large garden at their farm. “He’s becoming a little crunchy,” she joked, adding, “He’s turned into an 80-year-old man who is really into gardening.”
While Ben acknowledged that he still plans to continue his weight loss journey, he remains private about his ultimate goal, preferring not to disclose a specific target weight.
A Commitment to Health and Fitness in 2022
Erin has been a constant supporter of Ben’s health transformation. In a July 2023 Instagram post, Erin shared a video of her husband in a button-down shirt, praising his dedication to his health ahead of his shoulder surgery. “He got hardcore about his health and fitness last winter ahead of his big shoulder surgery in March so he could sleep better on his back and lower his BP,” she wrote, noting that Ben had successfully lowered his blood pressure, a goal they both considered “mission accomplished.”
Ben Napier’s weight loss journey is not just about shedding pounds but also about taking control of his health to ensure a long, active life with his family. With a renewed focus on wellness, he continues to inspire others to prioritize their health.
