My 600-Lb Life is a Reality TV series on TLC, that began in 2012 and continues airing to this day.The show focuses on individuals across the United States who weigh at least 600 pounds or more who are trying to lose weight and reach their goal weight. The show originally began as a five-part miniseries, but due to its popularity, became a series outright.The series takes place in Houston, Texas and the individuals are put underneath the care of Younan Nowzaradan, more commonly known as Dr. Now. Early episodes took place over the course of seven years, but more recent episodes take place over the course of six months to one year, with varying degrees of success from participants.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many times there is only one person attempting to lose weight, but as of more recent seasons, couples and entire families have had their journeys chronicled as well.In 2015, a spin-off series called My 600-Lb Life: Where Are They Now? began filming, which went back to patients featured in early seasons of the show to see how their journeys have been since they last left them.This show is currently in its ninth season.

Annoying Patient: Steven Assanti. His behavior is so bad, Dr. Now calls his father and tells him that he's being kicked out of the hospital and if he doesn't come to move him somewhere, they'll drop him off at a homeless shelter. Most patients who don't try to follow Dr. Now's instructions fall into this. Some make a comeback, but others, such as James King and Lisa Fleming, remain entrenched in drama, manipulation, and whining.

Big Eater: Every patient featured on the show, but many friends, significant others and family members of the patient tend to eat a lot as well.

Abusive Parents: An unfortunate backstory for many of the people seeking Dr. Now's help. Many viewers consider patients with kids child abusers. With one patient, this was so egregious that she had her five-year-old son literally climbing inside the dryer to retrieve laundry. Other patients' children spend most if not all their time caring for obese parents, and James King's seventeen-year-old daughter actually dropped out of school. It's assumed her father forced her.

Blame Game: Many of the patients who don't do well in Dr. Now's weight loss plan in the beginning tend to blame their move to Houston, not having enough money and other things as to why they didn't do well. Dr. Now usually tells them that's no excuse and makes them work harder.
