Yes true People who abuse and enable your bad habits and disrespect you don't care about your well being. The best people to be around is people tell you the truth and encourage you to do better in life.
It just goes to show that you shouldn’t bully someone who is morbidly obese, you never know what happened to them to cause them to spiral out of control.
Hats off to each and every one of them. Addiction is a disease and one of the hardest things to overcome as I know that personally. So happy all these people were finally able to gain control and get their lives back. I wish them all the very best and hope they can now live out their dreams and hopes.
Damn. To much weight. How can a ❤ function. These people have a will to live. Kinky fetish industry exploits them. Society mocks them. Yet, they find a way. Good Luck in finding love and respect. Life.
Turner actually got married again to someone else, not that long after his divorce, which speaks volumes about the status of his ex-wife in his life. She was obviously right. So good for her for going through with the divorce.
I had stories like these when I would eat for comfort but by my early teens my weight gain stopped. Even then, my doctor still said my weight was dangerous. My heaviest was 261 lbs
My 600lb life has been an excellent motivation for me, I watch it every time I excercise and I've lost 20lbs so far!! Highly reccomend this tactic if you want to lose weight
I used to be very critical of overweight people. Why can't they just stop eating? But it is so clear that so many overweight people have suffered serious trauma in their lives. The solution is physical but also emotional.
I want them all to succeed. The psychology involved in these cases is a real eye opener. Enabling, co dependence, lies, abuse, selfishness. How too many of them treat their families or other people gets me angry. Especially the children who have no choice. Treating them like slaves. Moaning & groaning about their physical pain & how exhausted they are while the sit & watch everyone else working to help them. James K. having his 15 yr old daughter drop out of High School to " help" him. I'm surprised no one called Child Protection Services. Or Paulines son Dylan. Talk about child abuse! And hearing someone 600÷ lbs saying they " need" the food they're getting at the store or fast food drive thrus. Or the "can't " do something instead of" won't". The lies & excuses instead of taking responsibility for their choices. Always someone else's fault for them being miserable. Nicki blaming her parents drug addictions as one reason she's obese.(Or was). Yet she doesn't want to see her food addictions effect on her 2 children? She looks great now. Congratulation to all of the patients who did the work neccessary to lose weight & I hope the others dont give up.
It’s so important to be kind to others especially when they’re kids it’s crazy because one bad thing that happens during your childhood can ruin your entire life and it’s something you don’t even realize until its completely destroyed you.
Not just weight gain, also weight loss! The vast majority of anorexics grew up in dysfunctional or abusive families, or were abused or mistreated in other relationships. Yet most people think of anorexia as "that thing that happens when dumb girls watch ANTM and want to look pretty". Everybody understands that extreme weight gain is self-harm and is very often caused by trauma. But when it comes to weight loss, people act like it's the person's own fault for being superficial.
Awww!!! That's heartbreaking.. Your Mom would want you to LIVE and be healthy and strong, I'm sure of it. God is with you, he is your comforter and helper. God bless you..
Now that she's gone, you have a choice: either live FOR her, or join her in the afterlife. I'm sure if she could talk to you, she'd tell you to take choice A. Be blessed!
Im so proud of them! I'm 15-20 lbs overweight and although its not a 'huge' amount it is a struggle to lose, I cannot imagine the motivation and will power needed to drop 200+ lbs.
I know, but that's not a reason to let them eat to death. I am pretty sure most of them want to have healthy lifestyle and watch their kids grown. With encouragement (and love), these people do amazing job to be healthy. I am actually proud of them. Seriously, if they can change, we can as well. Hope of humanity +1
@@BloodAndGutsTV It's impossible to do that, man. In my whole life, I actually only see three overweight people (I live in Asia mind you, overweight people are incredibly rare). Like, the two I could still ignore, but the last one? Hell no, I automatically judged her in my mind. Her body size is five times bigger than normal and she wore skimpy outfit. Seriously, her size is so big, it makes you wonder how you can get that big, because you need to eat a lot and doesn't move much. How she affords her food? Can she even work with that body? Why her clothes choice is short skirt and tank top? You might go something traumatic, but it's not a reason to make people won't judge you if you're neglecting yourself. It's like, buying the whole food for yourself and you expect the waiter not to have a frown or something. People will still judge you regardless anything, be it sexualities, your size, your personality, your habit, etc. You just have to give them reason, and it might sound cruel, but they don't care about your feeling. But seriously, I usually don't judge people, it's just.... This woman is too big, even bigger than overweight people and I was shocked.
It could be because of all the flaccid, heavy folds of skin left after they lose all of that weight. It makes it even harder to move because there's a lot of friction and bouncing
I see Nichole at our local Walmart every couple of months. She still has a way to go and I'm looking forward to seeing her with a cane instead of in the cart. I will say this, she's not buying junk food.
If you ever talk to her, tell her what a inspiration she is! I live all the way in Sweden and really admire her! Bless you all and have a happy, healthy and prosperous New year!
As far as I know this Doctor does offer skin removal surgery to all patients. If you watch the show each week,it usually shows him performing the surgeries
Watching this show actually motivated me to lose weight. I thought god I don’t wanna look like that, and be a burden on my family. Literally the best decision I ever made.
My motivation came from extreme makeover weightloss edition. You see people like this andit makes you get off your butt. You realise you dont have it nearly as bad.
There is more than a body full of fat there is constantly anxious feeling anxiety depression and all of that, that they're not talking about. It is so frustrating to have all that weight on your body and it feels like burden on your shoulders. God bless y'all. All Love💝💝💝💝💝💝
I feel sorry for the people because not only do the think about DYING due to their unhealthy habits, but after they get motivated and lose weight, the have all the loose/extra skin hanging and will probably spend thousands of dollars removing it. God bless y’all. Also it BULL that that lady’s husband didn’t like her eating healthy food and had a bigger lady fetish. Can’t believe he supported that..
Of course he did, Claire and to anyone who thinks like she does. She's on FB and does a lot for bariatric surgical community. She's also not the only female who did make money from men who have a fetish for larger women, to go on to have bariatric surgery for themselves and or for their families, in Z's case she had a rny gastric bypass for her daughter. Just because you or people in your circle may not know of something or like it or can relate, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Around 20 years ago, I did an informal study, interviewing 500 men all over the world, via AOL, asking them how they reacted to women not of their ideal physical preferences, truthfully because I was always a larger women, thinking the same thing as you, and the majority of men that I did interview initially DID like women on the smaller side of the spectrum (this was specific to heterosexual men and women) then I ran into "feeders" So try to knock of the judgement, okay. People aren't purposely unhealthy or aesthetically displeasing to piss you off. And unless you're just as harsh to people who die of smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction and Anorexia (which isn't as far away from Morbid Obesity as most people would think) it's really not about other's health that your concerned, it's about AESTHETICS. And for someone who had a gastric bypass almost 17 years ago , had to be judge mot of my life for being too fat and why don't you put down the fork, fatty and then too thin, and who bounces a lot, try not to be so judgemental on things that you obviously don't know much about. It takes a lot for those people who go on shows like My 600 LB or the reconstructive surgery shows on TLC, to get them covered, as well as any of us who have battled weight issues, if you haven't and or don't have empathy for people on the heavier side or are at best naive to think the whole world thinks like you, think again. Sandra-that is brilliant what Shriners does...It truly is win/win in with an awful foundation of why it's needed
I really hope the show helps them after all the weight loss. The extra skin can be a really health issues and could make them feel like there still big. But well done to everyone on the show cant believe the changes they have made
well would you wanna wash her/him on the front would you want ppl in your street see you washing Jabba the hut and then you have to explain that its your wife/husband.
I don't understand when a person is super obese finally gets weighed, and they're upset at the scale numbers. Really? You don't need a super scale to tell you that you're super overweight.
Many of these patients have not weighed themselves in years due to being in denial or simply can no longer use a conventional scale. By the time they are weighed at the clinic. They're simply in shock of how much weight they have gained.
I have always been a big guy, at 27 y old at my heaviest I weighed in at 185kg, I'm 5ft 11inches tall. I used to eat 3 to 4 double cheese burgers every night and a 1.5 liters of coke before bedtime. Smoke pot n hookahs 4 to 5 times a day, I was depressed and bored with little friends n no girlfriend in my life. At 28 I had diabetes but couldn't care less n not taking medication or abstain from sugar. I was in self denial. Things took a drastic turn when my mom passed away, I was 28 then n I was soo depressed at her passing that I just couldn't eat or drink, I would vomit n cry a couple of times per day, my weight dropped to 125kg in just 4 months, I looked frail n my hair showed sign of balding. I was happy to see the weight loss but I know it's due to my depression, still continue smoking pot n hookahs. But eventually my weight continued dropping even though my appetite came back but I noticed I eat lesser, I totally didn't take any junk food n colas. N by 31 y old I got married n weight about 92kg. But over the years my weight gain back to about 125kg n I had diabetes, had my 5th toe amputated due to gangrene even though I controlled my sugar n went to the gym on a regular basis. I had signs of early erectile dysfunction n itchiness at my joints n private areas. I thought to myself that I don't want to die early n decided to go for a gastric bypass surgery. Best decision I made in my entire life, I started at 125kg n now aft 2 years I weighed at 73kg with muscles, I trained at the gym abt 2 hrs 4 times a week. My waist when from 46 inches to 32 inches. Got some loss skin but the best part is I'm off my diabetic medication for about 1 and a half years now, only taking multivitamins as prescribed by my doctor. I'm 40 now n looking forward to leading a more healthier n meaningful life. Quit pot n smoking n colas. Shocked a lot of people with my new self, some were impressed but there are some who thought I'm sick or something, some even though I had cancer! Well to each his own, I know I'm healthy n with muscles mass I gain I hope to inspire people on their weight loss journey.
Wow, such a touching story. So srry you're mother passed away. Ik she would be proud of the man you are today! God bless you and you're family (if you're religious haha;) )
Thank you for sharing your remarkable story. My condolences for losing your Mum. I know how this feels. I lost 5 kgs in a week when my Mum passed away at 93 years old. You have done extremely well. Good luck and keep up the good work.
It’s weird because I have My 600lb life: Animal edition. I have a guinea pig who lived with her sister, her sister died and she got depressed and started to gain weight, we got her another pig to live with but she was bullied and started to stress eat. So we tried to find her a tiny baby pig for her to live with. She’s on a diet now and she looks healthier
What do regular people do about all of the loose skin after that? I know it's expensive to have it taken off, so I wonder what they do about it. And they should find a way to freeze (or whatever would work) the excess skin and then use it for burn victims. Maybe that would lower the price.
It can be covered by insurance (completely or partially) if the skin is causing infection or irritation. If not, people just have to live with it if they can't afford it themselves.
It really is amazing seeing the progress these people make. And wasn't there one lady who lost so much weight that Dr. Now actually wanted her gain some back? I think her name was Christina but I'm not sure.
Ahmm Im really happy that people like them overcome it.. Because as for me I weight 89kg when I was 14 years old Im totally embarrass to came out.. Being addicted to foods was really killing me at that moment, but now im 18 years old.. I weight 56kg.. Im very proud and touch of your stories Im hope big people like us won't lost hope..
I hope someone will notice me.. And feature my story Coz I want to be an inspiration to all Who experienced discrimination regarding on their sizes..thanks
I have a strange feeling of claustrophobia and panic seeing people trapped within and trying to move their heavy bodies. Kudos to those who can recover.
Obesity is deeply linked to grief, which makes it especially cruel to make fun of people who are struggling with weight problems. Look into their eyes, see the damn pain!!
Michelle Clarke In her defense, the people around her were pretty awful. Her parents are at fault for her even getting like this then had the nerve to insult her appearance and her husband probably didn’t even want her to lose the weight. I actually felt sorry for her.
Sometimes when people are so unhappy with themselves or in pain they can lash out or get angry. If the people around them react the same way it's a vicious cycle.
I applaud these people for losing weight and taking control of their lives. I am 4 months post op from bariatric surgery and these stories are inspiring. I have to lose 100 pounds and I have lost 40 of it so far. These stories show me that it’s possible and there is always hope.
I can't believe that a husband would divorced his wife cause she wants to become healthy and better herself. Sick man with low mentality and I am glad she divorced him!!!
So inspirational that these people turned their lives around and took control of not just their eating but their emotions....I will say on the photos none of them look happy even when slimmer...their eyes look so dull
I agree, it's very inspirational seeing people turn around their life so drastically. As for the dullness in their eyes, I didn't notice that, but it's a good point. If that's the case, you're very cognizant of emotional nuances. Though they lost so much weight, I can see why some might have not looked "happy." Maybe they're still dealing with the distress of the triggers that made them start the unhealthy eating habit in the first place (child's murder, spouse's death, sexual abuse...). Or maybe they felt like if they lost all this weight, why couldn't they have done it earlier. That might make them scold themselves for all the lost time. Like when you do something new you think you won't succeed at, and after you do it, you think, "Oh, that actually was easier than I thought." They could also be considering that even though their weight is lower now, their previous lifestyle caused lifelong health conditions - like diabetes and heart disease for example. Some of those might explain that bittersweet feeling you sensed in them. I'm glad they are taking steps in the right direction, but I hope they can deal with their other problems healthily too.
To prevent that much weight gain people should take care of their mental and emotional health so when a bad moment happens they don't cope by mistreating their body with food, drugs, self mutilation, etc. Most of the time really unhealthy weight stories are related to depression, stress etc.
ZestraX Do something now while you still aren’t that bad. Weight Watchers helped me lose 30 pounds. You can do it online..you don’t have to go to meetings if you don’t want to. Also, cut out sugar. Stay away from sodas, bottled juices etc. Sugar and processed foods are poison.
Omg, I feel soo awful for laughing, but James K was something else! Every damn complaint was about his "laigs". Smh. I honestly do hope that he's managed to turn his life around, though.
I just started watching this show and I can tell you not only is this show entertaining; it keeps me mindful about what I eat and really keeping active. Dr. Now is the best. The best spouse I have seen is Donnie. Angel is lucky. I kept expecting Donnie to not go along with the weight loss like most of the other spouse, he definitely showed up for his wife and kid.
A great way to shed the emotional trauma and put it out of your mind for good is to talk about it. Come to terms with your trauma, then face your present reality and learn to forgive and love yourself. There’s no excuses, there’s just you and your choices on how you live your life.

Wow, some of those people had some sad lives. 😔
The amount of trauma these people went through is so said. The connection between trauma and weight gain needs to be explored more
It's an addiction. Undealt emotions from trauma can make you become addicted to food, alcohol, drugs, ect.
It’s so important to be kind to others especially when they’re kids it’s crazy because one bad thing that happens during your childhood can ruin your entire life and it’s something you don’t even realize until its completely destroyed you.

For real
By the way they move and walk after losing all that weight, it looks to me that their body got permanent damage, sadly.
Aww
It does. They literally change their body to adjust to the weight. Joints especially.
Yes.

Kinda surprised they werent offered skin resection surgery after the weightloss, by the show.
Most if not all have been offered and or are going through the skin reduction surgery.
They're offered the surgery when they've lost enough weight to justify it.
Five Dee most of them did. They just had to lose a little more because there’s a requirement.

Just because you or people in your circle may not know of something or like it or can relate, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

He had to "WASH HER ON BACK PORCH"???? OMG! I couldn't even imagine..

well would you wanna wash her/him on the front would you want ppl in your street see you washing Jabba the hut and then you have to explain that its your wife/husband.

I don't understand
when a person is super obese finally gets weighed, and they're upset at the scale numbers. Really?
You don't need a super scale to tell you that you're super overweight.
Many of these patients have not weighed themselves in years due to being in denial or simply can no longer use a conventional scale. By the time they are weighed at the clinic. They're simply in shock of how much weight they have gained.
I have always been a big guy, at 27 y old at my heaviest I weighed in at 185kg, I'm 5ft 11inches tall. I used to eat 3 to 4 double cheese burgers every night and a 1.5 liters of coke before bedtime. Smoke pot n hookahs 4 to 5 times a day, I was depressed and bored with little friends n no girlfriend in my life. At 28 I had diabetes but couldn't care less n not taking medication or abstain from sugar. I was in self denial. Things took a drastic turn when my mom passed away, I was 28 then n I was soo depressed at her passing that I just couldn't eat or drink, I would vomit n cry a couple of times per day, my weight dropped to 125kg in just 4 months, I looked frail n my hair showed sign of balding. I was happy to see the weight loss but I know it's due to my depression, still continue smoking pot n hookahs. But eventually my weight continued dropping even though my appetite came back but I noticed I eat lesser, I totally didn't take any junk food n colas. N by 31 y old I got married n weight about 92kg. But over the years my weight gain back to about 125kg n I had diabetes, had my 5th toe amputated due to gangrene even though I controlled my sugar n went to the gym on a regular basis. I had signs of early erectile dysfunction n itchiness at my joints n private areas. I thought to myself that I don't want to die early n decided to go for a gastric bypass surgery. Best decision I made in my entire life, I started at 125kg n now aft 2 years I weighed at 73kg with muscles, I trained at the gym abt 2 hrs 4 times a week. My waist when from 46 inches to 32 inches. Got some loss skin but the best part is I'm off my diabetic medication for about 1 and a half years now, only taking multivitamins as prescribed by my doctor. I'm 40 now n looking forward to leading a more healthier n meaningful life. Quit pot n smoking n colas. Shocked a lot of people with my new self, some were impressed but there are some who thought I'm sick or something, some even though I had cancer! Well to each his own, I know I'm healthy n with muscles mass I gain I hope to inspire people on their weight loss journey.
Wow, such a touching story. So srry you're mother passed away. Ik she would be proud of the man you are today! God bless you and you're family (if you're religious haha;) )
Zayyad31 I love a good success story. Your Mom would be so, so, SO proud of you.
Great job. Weight is not easy to lose and keep off.
zayyad31 Keep it up mate, I bet your mother is really really proud of her son!
Thank you for sharing your remarkable story. My condolences for losing your Mum. I know how this feels. I lost 5 kgs in a week when my Mum passed away at 93 years old. You have done extremely well. Good luck and keep up the good work.
It’s weird because I have My 600lb life: Animal edition.
I have a guinea pig who lived with her sister, her sister died and she got depressed and started to gain weight, we got her another pig to live with but she was bullied and started to stress eat. So we tried to find her a tiny baby pig for her to live with. She’s on a diet now and she looks healthier
The fact they ALL have partners makes my normal weight single ass feel pathetic
Hope everyone have a great day
Thx
No
You to 😊
Pancake Boii panjabnews
Hope you don't
What do regular people do about all of the loose skin after that? I know it's expensive to have it taken off, so I wonder what they do about it. And they should find a way to freeze (or whatever would work) the excess skin and then use it for burn victims. Maybe that would lower the price.
It can be covered by insurance (completely or partially) if the skin is causing infection or irritation. If not, people just have to live with it if they can't afford it themselves.
It really is amazing seeing the progress these people make. And wasn't there one lady who lost so much weight that Dr. Now actually wanted her gain some back? I think her name was Christina but I'm not sure.
Yeah I saw that
Yes, o saw that episode where someone lost so much weight that Dr. Nowzarden wanted her to gain some back, for health reasons.
These people can loose weight like 300 lbs, yet i cant even loose 10 lbs.
Lose*
I’m more amazed they had partners! You’d need a car jack to fornicate
Ahmm Im really happy that people like them overcome it..
Because as for me
I weight 89kg when I was 14 years old
Im totally embarrass to came out..
Being addicted to foods was really killing me at that moment, but now im 18 years old..
I weight 56kg..
Im very proud and touch of your stories
Im hope big people like us won't lost hope..
I hope someone will notice me..
And feature my story
Coz I want to be an inspiration to all
Who experienced discrimination regarding on their sizes..thanks
You can post it somewhere and share a link
brydel sappal im proud of you!
@@Thecooltransition ok
@@dodo_solj thanks
I have a strange feeling of claustrophobia and panic seeing people trapped within and trying to move their heavy bodies. Kudos to those who can recover.
It’s amazing that these people have boyfriends and girlfriends and spouses
Where I come from this is not acceptable to the society
Not so amazing if they feed them into illness and death.
Obesity is deeply linked to grief, which makes it especially cruel to make fun of people who are struggling with weight problems. Look into their eyes, see the damn pain!!
1:26 This dude got a second wife after having a mid life crisis and gaining 500 pounds. I finally have hope for myself.
Men seem to be socially accepted even when they’re overweight and not get harassed like women do.
You’ll find someone!
Zsalynn after the weight loss was looked like such a sweetie! Not saying she didn’t before but she just looks happier after 😊 much love 💕
It’s sad that most of them went through loads of sh*t, like that guy whose wife was murdered and the people who were abused it’s so sad tbh
Nicole was super ungrateful to the people who was helping her
Michelle Clarke In her defense, the people around her were pretty awful. Her parents are at fault for her even getting like this then had the nerve to insult her appearance and her husband probably didn’t even want her to lose the weight. I actually felt sorry for her.
Some of these people are ungrateful. They bark and yell at everyone in the car or hotel.
Sometimes when people are so unhappy with themselves or in pain they can lash out or get angry. If the people around them react the same way it's a vicious cycle.
I applaud these people for losing weight and taking control of their lives. I am 4 months post op from bariatric surgery and these stories are inspiring. I have to lose 100 pounds and I have lost 40 of it so far. These stories show me that it’s possible and there is always hope.
300 pounds lost.
*Life throw you lemon,you throw them back their lemons.*
Well done!! 👍🏻
Remember when TLC stood for ‘The Learning Channel’?
That couple got divorce ,the man was looking for that big chunk of money from life insurance🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How does this happen???
I've been trying to put on weight for 45 years and it won't stick...
;-; LMAFOOOOO
I can't believe that a husband would divorced his wife cause she wants to become healthy and better herself. Sick man with low mentality and I am glad she divorced him!!!
I’m glad to see their transformations; so they could live a beautiful life with their families!!!
So inspirational that these people turned their lives around and took control of not just their eating but their emotions....I will say on the photos none of them look happy even when slimmer...their eyes look so dull
I agree, it's very inspirational seeing people turn around their life so drastically. As for the dullness in their eyes, I didn't notice that, but it's a good point. If that's the case, you're very cognizant of emotional nuances.
Though they lost so much weight, I can see why some might have not looked "happy."
Maybe they're still dealing with the distress of the triggers that made them start the unhealthy eating habit in the first place (child's murder, spouse's death, sexual abuse...).
Or maybe they felt like if they lost all this weight, why couldn't they have done it earlier. That might make them scold themselves for all the lost time. Like when you do something new you think you won't succeed at, and after you do it, you think, "Oh, that actually was easier than I thought."
They could also be considering that even though their weight is lower now, their previous lifestyle caused lifelong health conditions - like diabetes and heart disease for example.
Some of those might explain that bittersweet feeling you sensed in them. I'm glad they are taking steps in the right direction, but I hope they can deal with their other problems healthily too.
5:14 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
The couple bond during grocery shopping dates.....wow
To prevent that much weight gain people should take care of their mental and emotional health so when a bad moment happens they don't cope by mistreating their body with food, drugs, self mutilation, etc.
Most of the time really unhealthy weight stories are related to depression, stress etc.
A. Kms Easier said than done. If you watch the full episodes you’d see that most of these people (if not all) were overweight and obese as children.
i'm glad these are mostly positive updates. these people have been through enough.
Nails Chrysanthemum It’s something they brought on themselves.
Damnnnnn.... And I'm freaking out about being 28 and at my heaviest of 180 lbs with a slight gut.
I’m 19 and 192 lbs and I feel fat af. This video makes me feel a little more lucky though.
ZestraX Do something now while you still aren’t that bad. Weight Watchers helped me lose 30 pounds. You can do it online..you don’t have to go to meetings if you don’t want to. Also, cut out sugar. Stay away from sodas, bottled juices etc. Sugar and processed foods are poison.
Depends how tall u are
I respect these people, they worked hard trying to change and be more healthy!!!!♥♥♥♥
No wonder those motorized carts are always broken. They only hold up to 250 pounds.
Elizabeth Mish lol
Chuck already re married. He was a HUGE piece of shit to his wife. Really treated her so badly but wanted to stay married cause she had the insurance
Laura Perez + Nicole Lewis = Nicole Perez

Nicole Perez
I like stories like these! Good job to all of these people! Weight loss in general is tough!
God bless everyone !!😇💒😇💒🌸😇💒😇🌸💕🌸😇💒😇🌸💕💙😇💒😇💙
Did anyone get an impeach Trump ad!?!?! No? Just me? Okay
Love this show 🙌📺 i love to see when some of them actually do lose soo much weight at the end & work hard to keep it off 😊👍
A complete 180? That doesn't beat my 360.
And I complain about being 130 and can’t lose like5-30 lbs wth mad respect to these men and women🙏🏾🙏🏾
Exact same here.....
Same here! 🙏☺
Ow MY LEG!
Omg, I feel soo awful for laughing, but James K was something else! Every damn complaint was about his "laigs". Smh. I honestly do hope that he's managed to turn his life around, though.
Ow my back! I feel for the people helping them, what they go through physically.
Inspirational 😅
God Bless Dr. Now!!
I can’t get that depressed and want to eat my life away it’s already hard losing weight lol that’s just more weight you got to get off I’m js
"Grocery shopping dates" 😫
Love your videos keep it up the good work love you!!! Second💖
i like a woman with a bit of meat on her,but not an entire butchers shop
TO THE GYM!
Amazing my mom watches this show 😊👍😊
my god you can see the dudes brains through his nostrils
I just started watching this show and I can tell you not only is this show entertaining; it keeps me mindful about what I eat and really keeping active. Dr. Now is the best. The best spouse I have seen is Donnie. Angel is lucky. I kept expecting Donnie to not go along with the weight loss like most of the other spouse, he definitely showed up for his wife and kid.
So happy for all of them. 👏👏
A great way to shed the emotional trauma and put it out of your mind for good is to talk about it. Come to terms with your trauma, then face your present reality and learn to forgive and love yourself. There’s no excuses, there’s just you and your choices on how you live your life.
Ditch any man who doesn't want you to be happy.
Chuck Turner and I have no relation.
ok
I was expecting so much hate here in the comments section, but there isn't much.
I'm happy to see that.
Good for them.
I like nirvana to
