‘The Blind Side’ Actor Quinton Aaron Reveals Dramatic 200-Pound Weight Loss

Quinton Aaron is sharing his weight loss milestone with fans after embarking on a journey to a healthier lifestyle.

The Blind Side actor took to Instagram to share photos of his progress after losing 200 pounds. Once weighing 575 pounds, Aaron shared the news of him having dropped to an incredible 375 pounds.

"I am overwhelmed and blessed to announce that I have reached another cool milestone in my life. Today, when weighing myself, I noticed that I reached the 200-pound marker," he wrote.

"As in, from my heaviest weight of 575lbs until this morning 375lbs I’m down 200lbs. I know right, AMAZING!!! I have 55 more pounds to go to reach my over all goal of 320lbs… I GOT THIS!!!"

Aaron posted two side-by-side photos of himself showing off his transformation. In a later post, he revealed tough times since COVID, but found love and strength after marrying his wife, Margarita.

In 2022, Aaron opened up about his weight loss journey to TMZ and revealed his binge eating problems during the pandemic. He detailed his hankering for chocolate, eating jumbo KitKat bars in the morning, and eating bread with every meal.

Speaking with the Recovery Vow podcast in September, the actor called food his "drug" and the emotional hold it had on him. Since then, he's drastically changed his diet to include salads, a keto diet, fasting, and necessary exercise.

Many would recognize Aaron for his leading role in the 2009 sports drama starring Sandra Bullock. Based on a true story, The Blind Side received positive reviews and led Bullock to win an Oscar for Best Actress, a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award.

Since the movie, Aaron had appeared in various roles, with his latest being the 2022 movie The Wedding Pact 2.
