Ethan Suplee Shows 250-Pound Weight Loss at Chicago's Chronic Con

He says years of disciplined goal-setting in sobriety, not the scale, define his progress.

Overview

  • The 49-year-old appeared Oct. 10 at Chronic Con 2025 in Chicago, posing with former My Name Is Earl costar Jaime Pressly.
  • People reports he is down 250 pounds from a previously acknowledged peak of 536 pounds, when he once used a freight scale to weigh in.
  • Suplee has said his health turnaround began in 2002 after getting sober, crediting his now‑wife Brandy Lewis with motivating lasting change.
  • He has documented the journey on his American Glutton podcast and on Instagram, where an Oct. 7 post warned against chasing perfection over health.
  • In prior comments to People, he noted that satisfaction comes from achieving goals rather than from seeing a lower number on a scale.
