Over the past decade, Tom Segura has impressively shed 50 pounds since his debut Netflix special, Completely Normal, premiered in 2014.

The special, which was recorded a year prior to its release, featured the comedian, now 45, disclosing that medical professionals had informed him of his excessive weight and elevated muscle enzyme levels, suggesting muscle damage from a highly inactive lifestyle.

We’ve gathered photos documenting Segura’s remarkable 50-pound weight loss over the years and detailed his journey in his own words.

Tom Segura Reveals 50-Pound Weight Loss After Breaking the ‘Cycle’ of Unhealthy Habits with Cardio and Diet Changes

In 2023, Segura dished to Muscle & Fitness: “I was 255 pounds. In the special, I say I was 245 pounds, but I’m lying.” The host of Your Mom’s House podcast married Christina Pazsitzky in 2008. They celebrated the arrival of their son, Ellis, in 2016, followed by their second son, Julian, in 2018. Segura told GQ in 2023 that he really “prioritized” his health after his eldest child was born.

He explained: “It took a little while, but I started to tour and I would go do cardio and I would feel better if I did the elliptical or something.” Segura added: “What I realized was that between 2017 and 2019, I’d gained like 20 pounds again. I didn’t feel like I was living that mindlessly — I didn’t think I was being reckless — but it was really because I was just not dialing-in on details.”

How Tom Segura Adjusted His Diet And Made Healthy ‘Lifestyle’ Fixes To Lose Weight

The Two Bears One Cave podcaster continued: “So this time when I saw what tour was coming up and how heavy and daunting the whole schedule was, I just needed to get through it physically in a healthy way.” Segura also told the outlet that he did “everything wrong you can do” when it came to his health, like a poor diet and irregular sleep schedule.

He shared: “When I was starting as a club act, I would fly in and stay up in the hotel or the comedy condo until 4 a.m. and wake up at like noon and then eat some bullsh—t like fries and a burger, and then try to nap and then go to the club and eat like sh—ty mozzarella sticks or something. You’re in this cycle of doing that, and of course I was gaining weight and I was feeling worse physically and mentally.”

When Segura stepped onto the stage for his 2018 Netflix special, Disgraceful, he had shed 50 pounds, a transformation that did not go unnoticed, according to his interview with Muscle & Fitness. Yet, he understood that his path to self-improvement was far from over. He noted: "Everybody has their own number that’s permissible, where like [after that] their alarms go off."

The Opening Act star added: "The thing that I’ve learned is that there is no end number, and that’s what took me a long time to figure out. Even now, I’m in the 200-pound range." Segura went on: "Like, I kind of fluctuate, I would say between 198 and 205. You don’t get to a number and go: ‘We’re done’ … it’s a constant thing. As cliched as it sounds, it literally is a lifestyle."  

Segura shared with Muscle & Fitness that his weight loss success stems from organizing his eating schedule, drinking more water, and choosing healthier options such as yogurt with blueberries. Additionally, he maintains a consistent workout routine while on his comedy tours and utilizes a fully equipped home gym, including a Peloton bike.

In addition, he told GQ: "When we’re on the road, we work out every day." Regarding his personal trainer, Segura added: "Yesterday we did a boxing workout, he brought mitts and we have gloves on the bus. We lift probably four or five days a week. If we don’t lift we’ll try to do heavier cardio. A lot of things are contingent upon the type of gym we encounter. This hotel right now has some dumbbells, a couple machines and some cardio stuff, so our workout caters to the equipment that exists."  

In a March 2024 interview with YMH Studios, the father of two shared that he had reached his peak weight of 268 pounds in 2016. Following an injury, Segura's weight decreased to 245 pounds because he was less active and ate less.

However, he mentioned that he eventually regained the lost weight.  In April 2022, he was 240 pounds. Yet, when Segura checked his weight a few days prior to his interview, the scale showed 206 pounds.
