My 600-lb Life season 10 cast members who made significant progress on the show

Nathan Prater

My 600-lb Life season 10 aired back in November 2021, showcasing Nathan Prater's journey. Nathan, a 35-year-old drama teacher, was willing to put an effort into adopting a healthier lifestyle. At 607 pounds, he decided to consult Dr. Younan Nowzarada and prepared a targeted plan to transform his eating habits.

Nathan's wife appeared on the show, who was also overweight, and the couple decided to work towards achieving a fit body. After some time Nathan could see a significant change and was able to achieve his weight loss milestone.

Julian Valentine

The next My 600-lb Life season 10 contestant, Julian Valentine's impressive journey was showcased in episode 2. Julian's motivation behind losing weight was to have fewer health complications and to have a long-lasting life alongside his wife Irma.

Julian was able to make a significant difference at 820 pounds after using Dr. Now's program to lose more than 200 pounds. Sadly, Julian's path wasn't simple; in 2023, he lost his father, who was similarly eager to work towards having a healthier body.

Bianca Hayes

Bianca was a 36-year-old mom of two who had previously gone through a weight loss surgery. The main reason behind her joining the My 600-lb Life season 10 was that her prior surgery wasn't effective. Through Dr. Now's guidance, she wished to achieve her main target and was successfully able to do so.

Within 12 months, Bianca was able to lose 155 pounds. In March 2023, she celebrated her birthday and continues to work towards her weight loss journey to this day.

Mike Meginness

My 600-lb Life season 10 episode 4 introduced viewers to Mike Meginness. As per the episode synopsis on TLC's website, Mike was "born with a talent for sports." The Ohio resident had a dream of becoming a successful football player but his plans were crushed after he faced multiple concussions.

To cope with his hopelessness and sadness, Mike resorted to binge eating and gained 700 pounds. The My 600-lb Life season 10 contestant, however, was determined to find a new purpose "to avoid succumbing to pain and regret." Within a year, Mike lost 240 pounds and now encourages others to never lose hope.
