Maja Radanovic faced numerous challenges on “My 600-lb Life” but ultimately struggled to adhere to the program. She had some initial weight loss but experienced personal setbacks and conflicts with Dr. Nowzaradan, leading to her departure from the show without the desired results.
Maja Radanovic appeared on Season 7 of “My 600-lb Life,” where viewers witnessed her battle with obesity. At the beginning of her episode, Maja weighed in at 689 pounds and expressed her determination to lose weight in order to lead a healthier life and repair her strained relationship with her boyfriend, Christian.
Throughout her journey on the show, Maja faced emotional and physical challenges. She moved from Portland to Houston with Christian to be closer to Dr. Younan Nowzaradan (commonly known as Dr. Now), the bariatric surgeon who assists patients on the show. Despite the move, Maja’s journey was fraught with difficulties. She struggled with sticking to the strict diet plan and often found herself in emotional turmoil, which sometimes led to overeating.
One of the pivotal moments in Maja’s episode was a heated argument with Dr. Now, where he confronted her about her lack of progress and her tendency to blame others for her setbacks. This confrontation led to further strain on her relationship with Christian, who eventually left her, adding to her emotional distress.
Despite losing some weight initially, Maja’s progress was not consistent, and she was unable to meet the goals set by Dr. Now to qualify for weight loss surgery. By the end of her episode, Maja had not achieved the transformation she had hoped for, and her status with the program was uncertain.
After the show, Maja continued to share updates about her life on social media, indicating that she was still working on her weight loss journey, albeit outside the show’s framework. Her story serves as a reminder of the complex and difficult path that individuals with severe obesity face when trying to make life-altering changes to their health and lifestyle.
