649LB Woman Impresses Dr Now With INCREDIBLE Progress On Her Weight Loss Journey | My 600-lb Life 

When medical professionals stop saying "diet," people will be more receptive to making life style changes. Do not focus on the pounds but how your blood work improves. Your clothes will become too big as you progress. And progress takes time. Allow yourself whatever amount of time it takes to get healthy. You deserve it. ❤ Surgery is not a cure; it is a tool like exercise and healthy eating. Learn how to cook; take a culinary course at a college or watch a lot of video's. Learn about seasonings and herbs, and cooking methods. Have FUN learning and creating flavorful meals. That's how I lost 150 lbs in 2 years and continue since 2005. ❤

Also when I call you FAT I call it telling tge damn truth...not FAT ass shaming ...so plez don't go there with me I will call FAT for sure nice n load all know...😮😊

There actually has been a lot of ppl that’s been on this show and have lost weight

She’s not the only one but she definitely stands out amongst those who’ve been on the show Brandon is another one from the show who really put in the work

You act like others didn't work hard on this show. Yes some didn't even try, but most did and struggled. It's not easy to loose weight and usually there is a deeper issue on why they got so heavy. She wasn't the only one.

@@missjo2036 chill, i wasnt being literal. it’s a nice comment.

@@mariasbuggy i wasnt being literal and saying she was the only one, of course there are others.

So refreshing!

Thats a family who really loves her.

They will all benefit on this diet, they are all obese.

I swear this is the fist time I’ve seen a family be 110% on board like that, and it just goes to show what a difference it makes!!

Must have helped her a lot much better than enablers and people who sabotage

Yes, big change from other families who sneak food to the overweight person and pull the "one bite won't hurt" trick on them.

Keep in mind the enablers are usually dealing with a manipulative person. IE they get angry if their family member doesn’t bring them whatever food they want.

Yes absolutely, its the positive and loving atmosphere she had that kept her motivated for all the hard work. So happy for her

I didn’t sense any resentment from the parents for only eating 1200 calories either. That’s not an easy lifestyle to maintain and they did it happily

if they truly loved her why would they have overfed her, its so cruel

Stupid for getting married

👏👏👏

Wow! That's wonderful news! She saved her own life!

How did you look her up? I'd like to see her after.

Who are you to be proud of her?

yeah honestly the episodes where they fail are depressing

whitch season is this?

@@tangorsl1740 season 4

​@@fl0pZ3They really are. Especially the ones who bust their asses and still fail. Those are the worst

Exactly. No excuses, she was accountable and did the work!

Her attitude was everything! 🌹

She’s pretty

...sure, that it is her responsibility to take care of herself, right?

Awesome I was wondering what happened to her in the end

​@@terryarmbruster9719 150 lbs is 68kg.. it's definitely not obese even if she is 150cm. Nowhere in the world..

That's awesome! 🌹

@veronikavysoudilova9697 was about to say. ~150lbs or 68kg is normal for 5ft6 female even for BMI, and 95-115lbs (like 43-50kg) for 5ft6 female is clearly underweight if not severely so the more you're skewed toward 95lbs even for BMI. People don't know what 95lbs female looks like don't they?

@@cn_862 95pounds is not healthy for 5’6

❤

Congratulations and my best wishes for you.

Go you! 🙏❤

03.03.2024 Such a beautiful ypung lady with a winsome smile & attitude. Best wishes for her progress & ultimate goal.❤

Sad way to live hour by hour especially at 6 months. Some days it has to be like that but not every day otherwise the drugs are still controlling you just as much as they were before because you’re thinking of them 24/7. Get a hobby. Start living. Stop counting sober days and making it an obsession!

i was looking for this comment!! i thought she was 400lbs

It was the first thing I noticed about Nikki.❤ Glad to see your comment 🤗

She wasn't "strutting" at all; that's the only way she had of carrying her large abdomen---I'm nowhere near Nikki's size, but as an overweight person, I have to lean back sometimes to do the same thing. But yes, her mobility is/was amazing (the show ended around 2016, hence the past tense). Most of the people on the show didn't bother to get up to go to the bathroom, and here she was walking and at least staying mobile. She got down to around 200 pounds before the show ended, and I'd like to see her now.

I've seen this episode before. That was one of the first indicators she was going to be more willing to follow the plan on her own. She still walked, drove, and worked (as a costume designer at a theater) at 650 lbs. I can't think of another patient off the top of my that you can say that about. Her family was the most supportive too. It always amazes me to see the number of households where everyone else is still eating crap and expecting the patient to follow Dr. Now's diet or even making fun of their diet or telling them they can cheat. Not this family, they jumped right on board with her.

That’s why she’s a champion of her own mind 💘🙏

Did he tell her though?

You know he means it when he says it because he's a very blunt guy and tells it like it is. So when he gives a compliment, you know it's sincere because he doesn't deal them out easily.

“A manipulative beast” 😂😂

Manipulative beast. Yes. That´s almost standard. Occasionally it´s someone else in the malfunctioning familes. Saw a teenage girl who was doing fine when she was in a camp, once she came back home to her Mum she became this depressed overeating persona again...

Some are very manipulative it’s scary

I was going to say this about her voice too!!! I want her to be an influencer she’s so adorable!

She has also really supportive family I love to see that and I think that’ll the reason why she’s so likeable too

This episode was from about 7 or 8 years ago, if I remember correctly. She attained her weight loss goal---she got down to 150 pounds---and got married, but there's been nothing about her since the show ended 7 or 8 years ago.

@@jb6712correct! She has 2 children now ✨ I am her cousin.

It’s refreshing to hear someone who appreciates a little tough love. The people in my life who truly care about me are brave enough to tell me some hard truths. I’m thankful for them.

I agree! I am overweight and wish people would tell me I should lose some pounds but apparently that’s being fatphobic and it’s not ok

@boodledemic6430 I saw an other comment of you where you said that you are a proud fat phobic and that we should bash fat people. Here you are saying you are fat yourself?? Anyhow, bashing people is not going to help to make them lose weight. They probably would start even to gain weight when treated like that! Are you aware that some people have a medical condition that made them fat? Yes, some people eat way too much and got fat cuz of that.. BUT that usually has reasons as well like trauma. No one deserves to be bashed. No one is fat because they like to be like that. It’s sad enough to be in that situation. No need to make it worse! Making fun of people because of their looks.. even bashing them for it.. how ignorant and childish. Get some decency!

​@boodledemic6430 no one in the world has ever decided to be fat because people weren't mean to them about it. No one wants to be fat no matter how much you cry about fat acceptance or whatever.

It took being told I was borderline diabetic to finally get me to start losing weight. I'm still obese, but no longer morbidly obese. I have a long way to go, am currently 165.1lb, so need to lose another 55lb. To anyone struggling, you can do this

Yes. She isn’t super personality disordered like so many of them.

​@@nmartin5551I mean, you don't get to that kind of size without some severe mental health issues... the fact that she seems so "normal" is kind of weird tbh, like why would you let yourself get to this state?

@@hypnoteapot you never know what is in somebody’s back ground or history. I just hope for her success.

Lonely experience? you are responsible for your life, no one else. No parents, no children, no drs.

How are you going? I believe in you!

@@weepingshadesofindigo575 it’s going good I weighed in this morning 4lbs lighter. I’m going to keep going.

​@@jenshark4 How are you now? Best wishes!

@@bacul165 down 5 lbs. going to the gym and counting calories. It’s slow but headed in the right direction.

@@jenshark4 Slow and steady, that's the way! 👍

How is she going now??❤

It seems to me, she is on the tall side. That helps some. Even tho she obviously has a lot of power. 👍

@@tanjawesseling6283 how is she now? I don’t know. Now I’m kinda curious. Might have to see what I can find.

Right?

Yeah

You from the UK ma'am?

I noticed that too but maybe her motivation to lose the weight helped her be more mobile in spite of her size

@@brizzle3903 I think she must just have a fair amount of muscle on her

I think she's also pretty young, which helps. I think she's in her twenties.

@@orchadorkification other people her age or younger on the show were very immobile

@@orionash7067 Still, it helps to be young. She might have a healthier diet than they do, even with the massive caloric intake.

It had to be chewable or was it a preference?

She’s gorgeous now! Her self confidence and determination shine through. ❤

Exactly. I know he needs to be harsh, and he's dealt with a lot of crap patients, but he needs to tell his patients that actually work hard, that they did great, and that he's proud. They need to hear that. He definitely comes off as a little condescending, too sometimes.

He’s a man, not a woman his default especially in a profession like that where he’s seen intense stuff is not sweet random words …..his job is to save her life not make her feel butterflies.

@@v1nigra3 thank you. People need to go somewhere else to get their ego massaged. This is life and death, and if hurting someone's feelings saves their life, grab a kleenex and go to work.

Asian parent vibes lol

The colors really glow on her.

She’s so beautiful and modest.

That's not really an apt comparison because a heroin addict who throws out the last bag of heroin is in for about 2 or 3 weeks of absolute misery , anxiety, no sleep, body pain and extreme nausea , diarrhea and vomiting and then probably 6 months of trying to get your body temperature and mental state back to something like normal. The addictions are similar, yes, but stopping a heroin habit cold turkey is MUCH worse than changing your diet.

Tomatoes and avocados are both low in carbs, so she actually did pretty great.

@@Sknotty yes and it was a joke, not downplaying her success or trying to start an argument which is exactly why I said “I joke, she did incredible” because she absolutely did I just thought it was an extremely funny edit that straight after saying don’t eat fruit she’s cutting fruit to eat.

Lol! Diets are so messed up. Eat high protein to lose weight, eat high protein to gain weight! …wait, what!?

Muscle also makes you gain weight, but also more dense than fat, so if you have a lot of fat and eat high protein and work out you'll lose a lot of fat and gain some muscle but overall lose wight, now if you're skinny and don't have a lot of fat, you'll just gain muscle and therefore weight, protein helps build muscle, it's just cutting on fats here

@@Cafeallday222 as someone who’s losing weight, I can eat a fat ass burger and still lose weight. I just count my calories with my calorie app to make sure not to exceed from my cutting calorie count
