Ryan Lochte – 21 Lbs – Rigorous Exercise
Since taking the victory in the 200 IM a the US National Championships in 2019, twelve-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte had lost 21 pounds. Ryan discussed his weight on NBC’s Today. As he stated openly before, abusing alcohol and a bout of depression led to his focus waning away from swimming.
With his family’s help, the Olympian got back on track, exercising hard and dropping the excess weight in just two months. Tragedy befell the controversial athlete in August 2020, though, with NBC Sports reporting that he had lost his No. 1 gold medal from 2008.
