HGTV Star Shares Details About Nearly 100-Pound Weight Loss

HGTV star Ben Napier is opening up about his nearly 100-pound weight loss.

During a March 2025 appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show,” alongside his wife and “Home Town Takeover” co-star Erin Napier, Ben Napier noted that he lost 95 pounds over the last three years. He explained he decided to do so because he had high blood pressure. In addition, he underwent shoulder surgery in 2023.

“They wanted to put me on blood pressure medication. And then I had shoulder surgery. And it’s amazing when you can’t lift weights how much weight you lose really fast. It’s mostly muscle,” said Ben Napier during the interview.

Erin Napier also said she did not pressure her husband to lose weight. She said he was “really super self-motivated” to do so. She said, however, that she “just want[s] him to be alive as long as [she is] alive.” In addition, Erin Napier said that she wants her husband “to be there” for their daughters, Helen, 7, and Mae, 3.

In a November 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ben Napier said he began changing his lifestyle in 2022.

“We’re all trying to be healthier. We’re trying to live longer,” said Ben Napier in the 2023 interview.
