Lashanta White, from Season 7 of “My 600-lb Life,” initially struggled with her weight loss journey but eventually made progress after overcoming several challenges.
Lashanta White appeared on Season 7 of the TLC show “My 600-lb Life,” which aired in 2019. When viewers were first introduced to Lashanta, she was bedridden and weighed over 600 pounds. Living in Louisiana, she was dependent on her children and boyfriend for care. Throughout the episode, Lashanta’s struggles with her weight were evident, as were the emotional and physical challenges that accompanied her condition.
At the beginning of her episode, Lashanta was determined to lose weight and sought help from Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, commonly known as Dr. Now, in Houston, Texas. However, her journey was not smooth. She faced several setbacks, including difficulties following the strict diet plan and a tendency to make excuses for her eating habits, which initially led to a disappointing weight loss result.
Despite these challenges, Lashanta eventually began to take her weight loss journey more seriously. She started to make more significant changes to her diet and lifestyle, which resulted in her losing enough weight to qualify for weight loss surgery. After undergoing the surgery, she continued to work on her health and managed to lose more weight.
Updates on Lashanta’s progress after the show have been limited, as she has kept a relatively low profile on social media. However, it is known that she continued to work on her weight loss goals and has made efforts to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Her journey on “My 600-lb Life” highlighted the importance of perseverance and the challenges that individuals with extreme obesity face when trying to make life-altering changes.
