James 'Arg' Argent could be seen showing off his incredible 13 stone weight loss at a fitness camp in Marbella, three years after having a gastric band fitted followed by a tummy tuck. The former The Only Way Is Essex favourite looked to be in best shape of his life as he put himself through a gruelling workout, while wearing just a pair of blue shorts and trainers.

James, 36, who is known as Arg, was photographed at Mike's Gym in Marbella, which offers 'active holidays' and regular fitness classes for those in Spain. The reality TV star has been open and honest about his struggles with his weight over the years, but it looks like James has finally found a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

James' transformation is nothing short of impressive, as he once tipped the scale at 27 stone before undergoing surgery in 2021. He's since dedicated his time to overhauling his lifestyle, sticking to a fitness regime and eating well to achieve his desired results. He's even hinted that we could see him run the London Marathon with best pal Mark Wright in the near future.

Earlier this year, he told OK! he was feeling "strong and fit" and determined never to return to his old ways. The 36-year-old admitted that at his heaviest, he struggled to tie his own shoelaces and doctors told him he was on "death row" due to his weight. James said: "I feel much better. I’ve lost a lot of weight – about 13st in total. I feel so much better, I really do."

James' weight has fluctuated over the years, with the TOWIE star admitting he has always struggled with food and eating, however, it was the Covid-19 lockdown which led to an uncontrollable weight gain. Speaking on an episode of MailOnline's Straight To The Comments podcast, James previously admitted: "I think I was just acting out on feelings and emotions, eating and eating and then lockdown, Covid, that didn't help."

However, after dropping down to 13.5 stone, James actually felt he'd lost too much weight. He added: "I think you've got to be quite careful if it's about someone looking healthy, I think - I used to say to myself, 'the more weight you lose the better,' so the skinnier you are the better, but that isn't actually the case because there are times when you're too skinny."

James' immense weight loss did leave him with loose skin, prompting him to undergo a tummy tuck in January 2023. Having finally achieved his desired results, the reality TV star has been left feeling more confident than ever.
