Ryan Barkdoll's weight loss journey was an inconsistent one, to say the least. With many of his visits with Dr. Now having to be done virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's harder to track Barkdoll's progress and he often missed his calls. We learned that Barkdoll has been having cheat days, where he regularly orders junk food to appease his cravings. He was able to keep this hidden from his mother and her boyfriend for some time, often ordering his food while they sleep. However, he was caught in the act one day, infuriating his mother while her boyfriend assured Barkdoll that they are willing to help him through anything.
By the time Barkdoll had relocated from Montana over to Houston, Texas to be closer to Dr. Now, it seemed abundantly clear that Barkdoll has chosen to quit the plan. He continued to dodge Dr. Now's calls and eventually lost his apartment in Houston. The end of the episode sees Barkdoll surrounded by trays full of junk food, claiming that everything he will be fine and he'll continue to go through with the plan, an ending that many fans have found horrifically tragic. With no social media presence or desire to be in the limelight, it's hard to tell what Barkdoll has been up to since the episode aired in December 2021, but we hope he will be able to move past his pain one way or another.
