One My 600lb Life star is struggling with a huge 100lb mass hanging between his legs.
In a scene from the show, J.T. explained that “exercise and walking is getting hard” because of the lymphedema mass. He added that losing weight actually “makes it worse” as the mass “isn’t tight,” which means it begins to swing between his legs.
The TLC star ventured to the park and sat down as he admitted to being “all alone” and feeling “trapped” as he navigates life with the growth. “I’m having no trouble with my diet, I just need to figure out how to maintain my workout routine. So, I’m going to talk to Dr Now about it and see what can be done, especially the pain because I don’t want to start going backwards.”

J.T. said he has “given up so much to get to this point” and that his weight and the lump have been keeping him down”. Luckily he is “staying on track,” although he is beginning to struggle with exercise.
