Big Ed Brown from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is rapidly losing weight after his recent breakup with Liz Woods. The San Diego man isn’t the most health-conscious person. However, he always tries to get in shape after his breakups. A few years ago, Ed dated Philippine resident Rose Vega. He liked her youthful looks but complained about her breath and asked her to shave her legs. Ultimately, Ed’s constant disrespect caused Rose to dump him. She broke his heart, which inspired him to better himself and lose over 16 pounds.
In 2021, Ed returned to 90 Day: The Single Life, where he dated another single mom named Liz. He was captivated by her youthfulness but couldn’t help but criticize her size and question her sexuality. Ed’s insistence on Liz’s physical transformation, despite her already stunning appearance, caused numerous issues, leading to almost 11 breakups within three years of the relationship. In 2023, Ed and Liz appeared in 90 Day: The Last Resort to salvage their relationship before their wedding. They left the show together, only to part ways shortly after.
Ed and Liz’s latest split may be their final one. Liz has found another man, who she proudly displays on her Instagram. Meanwhile, Ed has discovered a new career in real estate and rekindled his passion for fitness. Ed resumed his workout routine in early 2023. He first talked about his post-breakup fitness journey in March, announcing his intention to get into shape before his trip to Thailand. Over the following weeks, Ed shared numerous photos documenting his progress. He revealed that he had shed nearly 12 pounds within a week.
Ed continued to lose weight throughout March 2024. By the end of the month, he surprised fans by shedding 17 pounds, which was more than the total weight he lost when he broke up with Rose. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise alum shared the big news on his Instagram, letting fans know that he hasn’t reached his goal weight yet. He shared that he still had a few more pounds to lose before he could feel ready for his trip to Thailand. While Ed rarely receives support, his praiseworthy weight loss in March helped him earn massive praise.
In the first half of April 2024, Ed announced that he was slightly closer to his ideal weight loss. He posted a video sharing that he had lost 19 pounds, which was phenomenal progress considering he had only worked out for less than 45 days. The video showed Ed doing various exercises at the gym, including rowing and deadlifting. He wore an athletic outfit and sported a goatee beard, looking younger than ever. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast member titled his post with the hashtag “#workhard,” letting people know he’s determined this time.
Ed has Klippel Feil syndrome, a rare bone disorder that has impacted his body proportions and neck. While exercising for him is not as simple and easy as others, he has tried his best to lift weights and maintain a toned physique for most of his life. Ed’s latest fitness transformation shows he understands how to regain his ideal physique quickly.
Ed’s latest workout clip shows him lifting heavy weights and doing certain exercises that are ideal for his physical proportions. One part of the video shows him deadlifting dumbbells instead of a bar. It seems Ed knows that dumbbells are way more beneficial for him because of his mobility. Another part of the clip shows him doing a single-arm row on a machine.
Ed is getting a lot of support from fans in 2024. While Ed is disliked for his controversial on-screen actions, he’s receiving love for his newfound dedication to fitness.
Ed’s last workout video got hundreds of positive comments. An Instagram follower wrote, “great job Ed! Keep it up. You’ll feel so much healthier.” Another user commented, “keep up the hard work Ed, you look great!!” People are ready to see Ed become his best self.
Ed’s latest fitness journey will likely change him forever. Every time he had lost weight in the past, he had ulterior motives. When Ed met Rose, he worked out to get in shape to impress her. He did something similar when he returned to 90 Day: The Single Life. Ed’s breakup with Liz is different. He’s nearly 60 and no longer the more youthful man he was four years ago. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast member knows it’s time for him to better himself and make every day count.
Ed’s past weight loss journeys have been flawed because he never set a decent goal for himself. In 2024, he is way more realistic about losing weight. He wants to drop 34 pounds, a practical goal he can achieve within a year. Ed’s weight loss is inspiring because he’s working hard for it. He is wealthy enough to get a bariatric procedure like his co-stars. However, he knows that doing that won’t give him the muscular strength he needs at his age. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star is working out for fitness, not just to lose weight.
