Sadly Danielle passed away October 20, 2019 . Thank you to the producer who was able to send us a copy ,so we could watch her episode whenever we want . She was Incredibly smart and Funny af . RIP Baby Sister .
Many ppl have asked how my beautiful bigger then life baby sister passed away Unfortunately she had a botched Gastro bypass surgery that led to an opiate addiction that ultimately took her life in Oct 2019 . She had the most amazing personality and she was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known . It’s just so sad the potential she had . I know the passing of our father tore her apart and she was never the same after.
Thank you for sharing Jessica. She seemed so amazing and touched so many lives! She lived a legacy and she will always be remembered. Much love to you.
Thank you so much for uploading, and sharing her story Jessica. She seemed like such an incredibly radiant person, and this is the literal only episode I’ve ever enjoyed of this show. My heart breaks for the loss of you and your family and I’m sending love and healing thoughts to you all.
It makes me feel sad and sick that you lost your little sister. It's bittersweet that you and your family can go back and watch this beam of light whenever you are really missing her, and remember her for who she was and is in your hearts 💕
Exactly. That's exactly when I stopped watching MTV. Back to back episodes of teen moms was so annoying and then, I don't find ridiculousness funny. I miss the days of True Life and MADE.
I only remembered that MADE existed today, searched it up and Danielle’s episode was the first one I watched. Such a beautiful soul and was heartbroken to read that she is no longer with us. Sending love to her friends and family from Ireland.
I’m so mad at everyone at school for not supporting her through this. She was so proud of losing 15 lbs at camp and nobody hardly said anything 😢 She deserved so much more 💔
Just read the description after watching this and I'm instantly heartbroken. You can see how determined and how much love she had for people and life itself. I know she has moved onto a better place now but I wish she was able to fulfill her dreams! rest in peace Danielle, I hope she knows she is still continuing to inspire people
I vividly remember this episode because of how cool and raw Danielle was. Thank you sharing and keeping her awesome energy alive. I'm so sorry for your loss :(
I was in high school during the early 2000’s, this is exactly how it was. I’ll never forget watching Made, along with all the other popular MTV shows at the time, on cable on my tiny little tv and life was great. Man, how times have changed
Danielle’s energy was amazing. She seemed like such an optimist and wanted to change her life. I’m so sorry about her passing. Many people do not discuss the mental side effects of gastric bypass. She was beautiful 🖤
Watching this again as an adult has me in tears. If she had been a troubled teen, I think it would have been justified being that she had been through so much. But she wasn't, she was smart, funny, beautiful, inspiring, and so much more. My condolences, she seemed like a wonderful person.
This randomly appeared in my feed, and I was hit with major nostalgia, I remember her and this episode so vividly--but have not seen this for so many years. Sad to hear she has passed though, it's a weird feeling--feels like finding out an old friend you've lost touch with has passed, her episode really resonated with me.
I’m so sorry to hear that this sweet beauty passed away. I remember watching her episode and thinking she was so cool and someone I wished was my friend in school.
So unlike all the 600 pound life episodes where everyone else is to blame for that person, being overweight, Danielle admitted in the beginning that it was nobody else’s fault, but her own! Point is she decided to change!
I LOVED this episode back in the day! Danielle was such a charismatic, cool chick. I'm so sorry for your loss, Jessica. Thank you for sharing this with us though, Danielle will not be forgotten.
I love this episode, MADE was such an important part of my teen years. It showed me that even though change was hard, you can be anything you want to be! Addiction is no joke and my condolences to your family
Her “friends” were douche bags… their only response should have been “that’s great news! Good luck, you can do it!” But instead of being encouraging, they talked down to her and made her doubt herself. It’s ironic they’re accusing her of being unmotivated/lazy/etc but when she shows a desire to be motivated, they shoot her down and tell her she can’t do it.
@@Scrapegoat That's what I was about to comment 🤣 Reality tv is about 10% reality at most lol if it truly showed our true lives it'd be boring. At least most lives.
@Jessica Czarnecki Walker Makes sense. Where they don't blatantly say it but guide it.. I can't even record myself or leave a voice-mail without being a weirdo so I can't imagine a film crew! Hope there's some good funny memories from it all 🤍
I lost my dad from addiction and used food as comfort as well. I’ve gained 50 pounds. I wish I could’ve crossed paths with this girl so we could’ve related and supported each other. She deserves the world. She is so clearly an amazing soul. I want to tell her that her weight didn’t take an ounce away from her beauty. And push yourself to exercise to practice healthy mental and physical habits and not to try to change.
MADE was the best! The bodybuilder episode went down right around me, I was a bartender at the restaurant the kid liked and the camera guys would sit at the bar and tell me MTV spring break stories. It was really something to see.
I'm from Nj and this was my life growing up. Danielle was me a hundred percent just I didn't have weight issues as a teen. It was my mind. I got fat after having my first child and had gastric sleeve. I miss this era of the world and I don't think I'd still be here if it weren't for shows like this when I was growing up. I'm also 11 years clean from an opiate addiction. She lives on in all of our nostalgic souls born in the 80's and early 90's ❤ EST. '86
Please. Please don't pick on teenagers that are going through their personal problems, at home, with friends/family or school. If you're an adult, take notice and take stand. If you're a student, please take time to make sure your fellow students are okay. Just please don't give up on them. Give them the push they need. Not the one that sends them over the edge. Just be alert and subtly aware. Take your time ❤️
Omg i remember loving her episode and thinking she was the type of girl I'd be friends with. So upsetting to know she passed, rip beautiful girl, I love your spirit. 💔 I don't know what happened but I hope your okay and lived a happy life between then and your passing.
@@danielastoica2110 I have no idea, sorry, I said that in the comment, I'm curious as well. I just saw a few people talking about it and I'm pretty sure the person who uploaded the video was related to her somehow by how she posted.
@@jessika42007 I am so so sorry, your sister is beautiful. Gastric Bypass is terrible, my mother had it as well years back and its caused her so many problems, she's struggled with severe digestive problems due to that surgery, so I totally understand why that happened and I truly believe they should never, ever perform that procedure, it is not safe and its so frustrating what it caused her and you're family and addiction is truly a disease and it's terrible what it does to people and their families, especially the soul gripping clutch of opioids, its the addiction not the person. She left her mark on the world and I wish ya'll the absolute best, positivity and healing. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
I’m so sorry for your loss I love this episode so much. I’m in recovery myself after a car accident let to an opiate addiction. If you ever need anything I’m always here
Thanks for sharing!! This was among my favorite shows on MTV back in the day. Sorry about Danielle. God bless her Soul and Energy. Also this is so old coach calls Burpees Updowns lmao.
I really feel for Danielle. I'm about her age and I remember the 00' era well. In some ways, it was a bit more simple and carefree. On the other hand, flat and thin bodies were in, and I was neither. I remember feeling so fat in high school, even though I was a size 5. Also, the Jillian Michael's technique of screaming and shouting and pushing people to their limits was widely accepted and admired. I'm so glad society as a whole is more accepting of all body types now. I think Danielle would have really flourished today. It breaks my heart to hear of her passing, may she rest in peace
"Society" has not changed that much where to be obese will be considered healthy. So get out of your unicorn and rainbow hair land and live in the real world.
I had fun watching this after so many years. Only afterwards did I see she had passed away, which is heartbreaking. I was just recently thinking how I used to watch Made, then moved away college and basically became a different person in an instant, kind of like in the show.
I wish MTV was focusing more on Danielle’s mental health. There is a clear correlation between her losing her father and her not getting out of bed and “not caring”. I also feel like these coaches pushing someone that is carrying that much weight into working out until she threw up is setting her up for a bad relationship with working out/weight. There’s my 2024 take. Danielle is darling and I like that she is enthusiastic about everything. Spunky girl!
Omg she passed away. I’m so devastated she was a pure soul. She showed everyone respect around her and didn’t act like a brat because she didn’t get her way. I can’t be that..
This was one of the episodes I remember most. I definitely related to having weight and motivation issues, and Danielle was only a few years older than I am. I'm sorry she passed away.
I was heavier in high school, and it was so brutal to be fat in the early 2000s. I remember watching this and wishing i could do the same. Poor girl, i know it was hard. I became an opiate addict for about 8 years and now ive been sober for almost 4 years.
So saddened to hear she’s gone RIP beautiful girl I saw Danielle’s MTV Made episode related to her in a lot of ways can’t believe she’s gone way too soon hope she is at peace 🖤💕
60 pounds in only 2 and half months?!?! That’s like 6 pounds a week. Not only is that impossible but sounds extremely dangerous you didn’t gain that weight in 2 and half months how do you expect to lose it that quick without starving or overworking yourself? This show was wild lol
When you’re overweight it comes off fast when you change your diet and work out, no need to starve yourself. I did it fast as a teen because I was also going though puberty which made my weight loss happen easier.
You should read the interview Marci from MTVs “I used to be fat” did …she talks about how completely unhealthy and dangerous they made it for her to lose weight, and how they had her eating starvation calories!
@@KB-dd5px Thats sad but I believe it!! Tyra Banks had said how she would feel she was going to pass out and only was to eat a few crackers and water or something completely insane like that. Very sad!!! These producers have zero shame. Someone from the Bachelorette had said they would have them start drinking soon as they woke up and would keep them awake for hours so it would cause more tension and hostility 😬
@@KB-dd5px I'll have to look that up. I wondered about that show because of how much they lost in the few months they were doing it. I know you can lose a good amount by being healthy, but something about that show seemed excessive.
I came to comment that she seems to have such a wonderful energy and soul. I loved this episode when it aired. I was so sad to read comments about her passing. My condolences for your loss I know I can't say anything that will change what's happened. Thank you for sharing this video of your lil sister and her story.
Oh my god she is such a beautiful person inside and out. all of the people who made nasty or backhanded comments abt her are absolute idiots. It was so sad to see how incredibly pessimistic her friends were when she told them she wanted to lose weight.
It’s awful to learn about Danielle’s passing. Judging from these comments, she is clearly well missed. While I enjoyed watching these teen weight loss documentaries back at that time (mid 2000s), 15+ years later I can see a huge problem as someone in his mid 30s who is a regular gym goer… you can’t take someone who has never really exercised and force them to over exert themselves in such an intense way so soon. Ease them into it in the beginning for injury prevention and less humiliation.
