As a cop, Eric Reynolds maintained an active lifestyle, playing basketball and carrying weights. Nevertheless, he dealt with continual injuries.
When he saw himself in the documentary Cops and Cabins , he was shocked. He looked heavy and sick. He knew he had to make a change.

More than weight loss and physical changes though, he also experienced improvements in his mental health, perception, and emotional stability.

Siobhan Huggins grew up with a negative self-image. At 18, she was obese and developed depression. Whenever she tried a new diet, her depression symptoms would get worse. Later on, she was diagnosed with lipedema.
