My 600lb Life star Nikki Webster has undergone an epic glow-up since appearing on the US reality show, and now looks completely unrecognisable.
TLC star Nikki originally weighed 650lbs when she first sought help from Dr. Now, and struggled with simple daily tasks including walking around.
In a heartbreaking show moment, Nikki confessed she was banned from seeing her nieces and nephews in case her weight “distressed” them.

She admitted: “My weight is debilitating. My body is so painful, I hate it. But I say this to myself. Food is an addiction to me and my addiction is killing me.”

Now, however, a slimline Nikki managed to drop to an incredible 200 pounds after undergoing gastric bypass surgery on the show, and is making the most of her new life.
She also underwent a surgery to remove the excess skin from her weight loss, and explained to People that she now has “new coping mechanisms”.
She explained: “It’s hard to imagine how I used to live. It’s just become so vastly different.

“I’ve had to learn new coping mechanisms. I’ve had to deal with things that I just could not deal with. I would deal with those things by eating. Now I’ve just learned to deal with them in healthier ways.”
Nikki tied the knot with hubby Marc Gray in 2017, and thanked her family for their support through the most difficult times.
In a gushing post, Nikki wrote: “I’m thankful for those people that support and love me unconditionally – that have loved me at 650 pounds, at 200 pounds and everything in between.
