Mark Labbett – 35 Lbs

British quizzer Mark Labbett became famous when he featured on ITV’s The Chase. The premise of the game show pits contestants against a master quizzer referred to as the chaser, and in 2009, Labbett was one of the chasers. The show eerily mirrored Labbett’s life in a symbolic sense, because lifestyle choices were preventing him from living life to the fullest.

When he learned that he had diabetes, he knew that he had to take his health seriously. Labbett began by lowering his sugar intake, and he also started eating healthily. Combined with working out, he managed to lose 35 lbs.
