My 600lb Life star Dottie Perkins – known as Dottie Potts – has had her ups and downs throughout her time on the reality series, but years later the brunette beauty has shown off her impressive weight loss.
And it’s fair to say she looks worlds away from her time on the TLC series, with many fans sharing their heartache for the star throughout the time on the show.
Since she was a teenager, the guest star has weighed over 300lbs and endured a number of tragedies throughout her life which has encouraged bad eating habits.

Thankfully, her most recent health updates on Facebook seem to suggest that she has turned her life around as she boasts a much healthier lifestyle.

After her appearance on the fourth season of hugely popular reality show, Dottie appears to have kept off the eye-watering weight she lost while on the show.
One of the main things she credited her poor eating habits to was due to the lack of affection from her family growing up.
At the start of her journey on My 600lb Life, Dottie weighed well over 600lbs and was hospitalised several times so her weight could be closely monitored.

To make her health battle ten times harder, Dottie had lost her 13-year-old son after he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and scoliosis.
She told viewers: “It hurt a lot, and food is what comforted me. At one point I was putting on a couple of pounds every week. By the time I was 18, I was well over 300lbs.
“I remember just eating and eating and eating so much. And I had just never been able to stop.”

During her time on the series, Dottie eventually managed to drop the pounds to under 300lbs for the first time since she was a teenager.
She was able to achieve her goals thanks to the support from Dr. Nowzaradan – otherwise known as Dr Now – and her personal trainer Kristina.
And according to her latest posts, the TV star appears to have made a complete lifestyle change and maintained a healthy diet.
