‘My 600-Lb Life’ Extreme Weight Loss! Most Shocking Before-And-After Photos Revealed

On a recent episode of My 600 Lb Life, James “LB” Bonner explained how he often ate beef sticks and pigs in a blanket when he would visit his aunt and uncle as a child. “That’s when I started associating that comforted feeling with food,” he said. “I gained a lot of weight. By the time I was 8, I was already 150 pounds.” Bonner’s heavy drinking and partying in high school contributed to his weight gain. When his lower right leg was amputated in 2013, he continued to drink and reached 650 pounds.

When Bonner joined the show, he began dieting and exercising. He also underwent lap band surgery and beat his alcoholism by maintaining his sobriety. He lost over half his previous body weight! “Think about how much further you walked today from yesterday, how much easier it is to stand up from the couch than it was before,” Bonner told The Lexington Ledger. “You didn’t get to this size overnight, so it’s not going to come off overnight. You have to stick with it."

Brittani Fulfer, who appeared on season four of the show, weighed 605 pounds. “Every single day I look at myself in the mirror and I go, ‘What did you do to yourself?’” she said on her episode. She explained how the only time she got up was to get food. “I think about food non stop,” she said. “From the moment I get up from the moment I go to bed.” She explained how a family member molested her when she was 5 years old. The abuse went on for six years. “I didn’t want love and a built a wall,” she said. “The only thing I found any type of happiness in was when I could go and eat my food.”

Christina Phillips lost the most weight out of anyone on the show. When Phillips appeared on season two, she weighed 708 pounds. She struggled with childhood obesity and weighed 300 pounds when she was 12 years old.

Donald Shelton was 675 pounds when he appeared on the show in 2012. “I knew I had to lose the weight,” he said. “I was getting bigger. I need to do something or I was going to die. I don’t know how I got to this point.”

Shelton lost 380 pounds. According to Starcasm, he had a setback when he injured himself in a fall and was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome, a disease where the immune system attacks the nerves. He managed to lose 200 more pounds, but then gained 105 back. He gained 100 more pounds and ended the seventh year of filming at 400 pounds. But according to his Facebook, it appears he has lost weight again.
