Tammy and Amy’s brother Chris Combs went full speed ahead when he decided to also lose weight, but has since put on the pounds again.

Chris is known for being Tammy‘s strict brother, who has her best interests at heart and encourages her to continue with losing weight.

He joined his sisters while they began losing weight, to find that he was dropping the pounds like no tomorrow in the second season.

However, Chris wasn’t able to keep up his motivation and slipped back into putting the weight he lost back on, as revealed in Season 3.

Chris dropped the pounds rapidly

Chris embarked on a weight loss journey alongside sister Tammy last season, hoping to be approved for surgery.

Despite finding it hard to ditch the junk food, he was told that he only needs to lose 15 pounds to get the gastric bypass surgery if he wished.

The main goal for his weight loss journey was to show his daughter Emma that she could turn her life around before needing surgery.

He dropped the pounds enough that he was given the go-ahead for the procedure after Season 2, but never actually underwent the surgery.

Tammy’s brother moved up scales

Devastating news took place when a boil grew on the inside of his leg.

Tammy’s brother was forced to rest and could no longer keep up his workout regimen, after his other sister Amy qualified for surgery.

This meant that Chris eventually ended up putting on all of the pounds that he had lost, despite initially going on a diet and exercise program.

Originally on his way to being about 375, he recently revealed he had gained nearly 45 pounds since getting the boil on his leg.
