Home Town stars Erin Napier and Ben Napier have shared so many parts of their lives with fans. The couple are proud parents to their two daughters, Helen and Mae, whom they have prioritized throughout their journey to stardom. Ben also went on an inspiring journey of his own with his 95-pound weight loss transformation.

The couple embarked on their TV adventure just one year before Erin found out she was pregnant with Helen. Their eldest daughter was born in January 2018. Fatherhood was a major factor in why Ben decided to start his weight loss journey. At the time of Helen’s birth, he had weighed around 335 pounds.

“Having Helen made me want to be healthier so I could be around a lot longer and see her grow up and see her whole life,” Ben told Country Living in January 2019.

Erin couldn’t help but gush over her handsome hubby’s appearance in a carousel of photos posted on Instagram in March 2023.
“Somehow, despite having a torn rotator cuff and us barging in and slowing him down daily, [Ben] has been building a gym in the barn and lost many pounds,” Erin wrote. “And holy smokes what a babe with good blood pressure.”
In one photo, the home renovation expert showed off his toned legs as he put together some workout equipment with the help of Helen and Mae. Ben wore athletic shorts and a hooded sweatshirt in the snap. The weight loss update came just two months after the handyman began physical therapy to help rehabilitate a shoulder injury he suffered years ago.

December 2024

After recovering from shoulder surgery, Ben revealed he had gained 20 pounds.

“It was eight [or] nine months of not being able to do any upper body workout — and not even at work. Like, I couldn’t pick up anything at work,” he told Us Weekly in December 2024. “And so for the first time in my life, I felt very skinny in my arms and shoulders and chest.”

He decided to hit the gym to try and gain some more muscle in his upper body.

“I’ve put on probably 20 pounds since then,” he shared. “I am lifting weights and working. I’m fully recovered from the shoulder [surgery]. I can lift things overhead no problem.”

He has continued to workout and live a healthy lifestyle.

“I bought all of [my equipment] on Facebook Marketplace. And so I built the home gym for really cheap and I work out every morning,” Ben told the outlet. “I try to intermittently fast periodically during the week — which is just a fancy word for skipping meals and eating smaller meals.”
