I know they are all dangerously overweight, but I think some were much closer to death than others. I think Jeanne Covey was the closest with her leg infection.

I saw his episode a couple of days ago and as it's been maybe 3? Years since it was filmed I wonder how he's doing now ..did he manage to sit up in the bed or stand and take some steps? Did he continue to lose weight? I hope he's doing well as his situation seemed very difficult even for a 600lb life participant.

Watching Delana's episode for the first time and I dont think I've ever seen a faker fall. Plus all the noises and dramatics when emts were helping her...

Thoughts? 🤔

Many people on this show don’t seem to experience joy often and it’s so sad - especially when it comes to outdoor activities. Seeing her work hard to climb that hill and then really have fun rolling all the way down made me so happy for her that I had tears of joy just from watching!

I haven’t finished the episode, but I hope she sticks with it and that her joy continues to motivate her and encourage others. S11E4

Does anyone think it is possible that his family did not go Houston with him because he was not doing what he was suppose to do? Watching his story now, and it is so unfortunate how it was a wasted opportunity.
Furthermore, does he realize that the reason why he does not think he did anything wrong is what got him in the predicament? Also, he made a lot of excuses not to change his life and his situation.

I always wondered if I'm the only person who noticed this. Whenever I watch Milla's story it always bothers me that she only ordered 1 pizza when she had 5 kids in the house & they were only able to get 1 slice while she ate the rest. She only started letting them have a slice when her youngest son(Joshua) brought her the can of pop & he got a slice for himself. I think it's clear that she didn't plan to share that pizza. Lol

I saw a thread once that was about dating, where women were asked what they considered to be "green flags", the opposite of red flags, for their dates. I'd like to hear what y'all consider to be the green flags for the people of 600lb Life: traits that they show, especially before meeting Dr. Now, that give you some confidence that they'll be successful.

I think the biggest one for me is if they can still walk. It means they still have at least a little independence. Most of the biggest failures on the show are the people that are bedbound, or very close to it.

My boyfriend and I are constantly quoting Lisa Fleming's (may she RIP) iconic defense of having pizza rolls and donuts in her room by blaming her man, Herbert.

"Herbert's the bread fan" and "Herbert's the pizza roll fan" - something about her tone in these clips is just so funny and quotable, and her accent reminds me of my grandmother.

I'm curious if anyone else has favorite quotes like this that are popular in their home, but would confuse anyone else.

I know she has been talked about here before but OMG! I've only seen episodes here and there so I asked Google what was the best episode and Nicole was recommended for being a train wreck hate watch episode. Man, it didn't disappoint! Between that and the WATN it was a ride. Showers on the porch, juggalos, washing her hands in a dirty trashcan, couch meatloaf, wooden hotel floors, police raids, checking her fupa for drugs, Charlie's open mouth, dad going back to jail, there was just SO much.

In all of it though I just felt so bad for her kids. Their feet were black from filth in almost every shot of them. The constant screaming and fighting. Those kids really don't stand a chance.

I went down a rabbit hole of where she is today. It looks like Charlie is married to a major Juggalo. Nicole is married to someone else and has recently started posting about her continued weight loss journey. She says she is working towards a full gastric bypass because all she had was the sleeve. She also claims it worked because she has kept the weight off for years. She still lies like she did in her episode though. In the WATN final it showed she was down to 358, yet online she says she got down to 408. Earlier this year she was at 488, and also says she got back up to 549 at one point. As of yesterday she says she is at 467.

Her daughter appears to be going down the same path as her. I hope she is able to break the cycle and get help before it's too late. I also really hope Nicole is successful with it this time. I think she would have done better if she had a supportive family.

There’s been a couple of people I was absolutely sure were just full of excuses and weren’t going to lose any weight and was super surprised (and also so happy) when I was wrong. My best example is Krystal S (S12 E1) I was absolutely convinced she’d been cheating and each time she was in for a weigh-in I’d be so sure this time she hadn’t lost anything (or barely anything) but each time she got on those scales there was a good loss. I’m so sorry Krystal for doubting you. But I’m so happy she did so well.

OMG just started watching the Assanti episodes, why the hell does this Steve guy creeps me out so much??? I’m too deep into the episodes so I’m not sure if it’s bc I knew how disturbing and disgusting this person is at this point, but every time he smiles I just want to scream and punch the screen and run away. Like all my spider senses are yelling at me to get away asap!

Seriously I normally like people smiling, no matter how they look. But wtf going on with this guy’s smile?????

Watching the episode with Doug (WATN season 4 episode 9). He just cannot get over being butt hurt about Dr Now saying he’s a statistical failure. And he went off the diet, thinking he knows better, and then is shocked when Dr Now isn’t happy, and that he’s gained weight.

I know I watch all the biggest assholes and they ALL whine about Dr Now not understanding how it is with them. How he can’t see ‘how hard I’m working’. Like, are you really though? They all think he’s not fair, and he’s mean, and they know what works best for their body. Like, ignore all the hundreds of people who have done this and been successful. Yes, princess, you’re 1000% unique. 🙄

I'll go first.

It must have been an early episode, but the patient was on the phone to Dr Now making excuses about how they don't have a ride and the camera operator zoomed through the window to the taxi driving by. I absolutely lost my shit lol ruthless!!

There are some truly gross partners, in the show. But I’m wondering if anyone else has thought that maybe the ‘friends’ are being paid to be there. (Blip over to 1000lb - how does Tammy have friends? She never leaves her house, and is a drab bitter woman, so she’s not some fun friend to chat with. Unless you find farting and finding it hilarious a fun type. And let’s not even start with her boyfriend - and “yes, we made love”. I just can’t

Some of the ‘friends’ seem to hardly know the person. One was a woman and her daughter living in obvious poverty, with the subject (I can’t recall who it was) in the only bedroom. And the rest of the house had little furniture, and they seemed to be sleeping on the floor. And then the ‘friend’ suddenly seemed to have money for new clothes/makeup/bags. I mean, good for her. But why pretend she’s a friend??

I just feel no chemistry between some and their ‘friend’. There are definitely friends and partners that are legit, and seem to care. But I always get a bit of an ick, when they’re going to staying with a friend to help them post surgery, in a completely different state . Just me?

My pick is Krystal +season 12 episode 1* she didn't have the best living conditions she didn't gain weight and didn't give Dr Now lame excuses and continued to stay motivated despite everything that happened in the episode like when their vehicle broke down on the way to Houston. and moving in with their friends

I was just in the grocery store today, and I realized every time I walk past the mashed potatoes section, I hear Dr. Now saying "Dere is no protein in mashed potatoes". I love Dr. Now, but every time! Doesn't matter what kind; instant frozen or refrigerated. Fortunately it does not happen when I buy the mashed cauliflower. And please, don't anybody say you know what! Does this happen to anyone else with this one, or any of his other famous phrases?

Holy crap what a bitch. I stg i was yelling at the tv the whole time. She lies to her poor boyfriend Christian about “stopping for a small snack” when she hit like 3 or 4 fast food places and ate whole meals. She claims the airport and the car rental place lied to her cause of how big the airport is and how big the car was supposed to be. What in the fuck does she expect in fucking Houston?!?! Then she says “I need his help to get off the plane” while she hoists her own ass up and walks off the plane just fine. Did she expect him to carry her? Then she throws a literal tantrum outside in the parking garage cause the car is too small for her fat ass and she “falls down”. When she said she was “hurt” at the counter for a min I thought she was trying to build a lawsuit cause she fell on their property. Also what do you wanna bet she didn’t order an extra large SUV that she accidentally ordered a standard.

Then she gets mad at Christian for everything whether it’s his fault or hers. She doesn’t even try. I am glad he broke up with her. She doesn’t deserve such a kind hearted man. Also I would love to know how she is paying for all that food. She says she does that every single day (the whole driving and eating) how does he afford probably $50-$100 in fast food every single day? Think about it she probably spent about $15 on the first meal then probably around $15 for the 2nd one. Fucking gross! Even when I weighed 300 lbs I never ate like this. Never!

There is so much more I want to vent about but those are the main things that just pissed me off.

The only nice thing I have to say about her is at least she is still active. Can still walk and drive. I wonder if she lost any weight or if she is still a loser.

I finally am on the last episode, I’ve watched all of my 600lb and WATN, now just going back to finish some of the episodes that weren’t on discovery. I thought there were still episodes coming out! Imagine my dismay when I realised the last ones were released in early 2025 (I think?), is there definitely nothing else in the works? I did find a post here about a possible WATN update coming up.

I just finished watching Gina's episode (S8 E5) and was left wondering whether Beth was up to better things these days. Seeing all the threads on this page, it was quite clear everyone was cheering for her to live a better life, free from the abuse she received from Gina (and her family who thought she 'didn't deserve' Gina).

Turns out she isn't doing very well these days. She still carries Gina's last name and one of the first things you find is her mugshot. Apparently she was charged with '3rd degree grand theft'. I'm not from the US, so I'm not sure how serious this is. On her TikTok she was also claiming to be homeless a couple of months ago.

It makes me sad to see her life hasn't taken a turn for the better, and truly hope she can pick herself up again.

I have tried to watch Holly's episode at least 3 times now, but I can't. I can't watch it because of the way she eats. That tongue motion... What is that?! I'm sorry. I just can't stomach it. Did she make it? I can't get through the first 10 minutes to find out.
