Country music star shares weight loss milestone after binge-eating battle

Nate Smith, a country music star and TikTok creator, shared a weight-loss milestone after describing a past binge-eating battle. In an interview with People published Saturday, July 4, the 40-year-old said he wants to get under 200 pounds and is aiming for roughly 185 pounds again. He said he has recently lost more than 70 pounds, after being “somewhere” around 275 pounds. Smith credited feeling healthier for improvements in day-to-day life, including not sweating as much and being less out of breath when tying shoes. He also said he can jump around more and is feeling good about wearing smaller clothes, after wearing double extra-large for five or six years. The actor previously told People that alcohol consumption and overeating contributed to his weight issues, and he said his health deteriorated after a severe upper respiratory infection in fall 2024.
