Tom Segura’s Weight Loss Journey Is Impressive! ‘Bad Thoughts’ Star’s Dramatic Transformation Photos

2011

Tom began his comedy career in the early 2000s. In a 2023 interview with GQ, the Instant Family actor reflected on how he treated his health back then, noting that he did “everything wrong you can do.”

“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 bullshit like fries and a burger, and then try to nap and then go to the club and eat like shitty 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,” he explained.

Tom married wife Christina Pazsitzky in 2008, and the pair welcomed two sons in 2015 and 2018. The comedian revealed to GQ that he only “prioritized” his health again after his first son, Ellis, was born.

“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,” he said. “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. 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.”

2018

By the time Tom hit the stage for his 2018 Netflix special, Disgraceful, he had lost 50 pounds and told Muscle & Fitness that people noticed. However, he also realized that he couldn’t stop his journey there.

“Everybody has their own number that’s permissible, where like [after that] their alarms go off,” Tom explained. “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. 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.”

As for how Tom has managed to shed the weight, he revealed to Muscle & Fitness that he started scheduling his mealtimes, increased his water intake and ate healthier foods like yogurt with blueberries. He has also kept up with a training schedule on his comedy tours and has a full gym setup at home with a Peloton bike and more.

“When we’re on the road, we work out every day,” Tom told GQ of himself and his trainer, who always travels on tour with him. “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.”

2024

Tom revealed in a March 2024 interview with YMH Studios that his highest weight was 268 pounds back in 2016. He dropped down to 245 pounds after an injury due to “not moving” and “not consuming” as much, but Tom said he gained weight back. In April 2022, he weighed 240 pounds. However, Tom concluded that he weighed himself a few days before his interview and the scale read 206 pounds.

2025

While promoting his Netflix series Bad Thoughts, Tom looked trim in a white T-shirt and fitted trousers while heading in to tape an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Hollywood.

The day prior, Tom and his comedian pal, Bert Kreischer, held their second annual 2 Bears 5K run on May 4, 2025. For the second year in a row, their good friend, country superstar Jelly Roll, took part in the race as part of his own ongoing weight loss journey.
