One of the most talked-about cast members in the history of My 600-Lb Life is Lisa Ebberson, featured in season 10. At the time of her appearance in 2021, Lisa weighed over 630 pounds, and her journey was marked by both emotional and physical difficulties.
Lisa sought the assistance of bariatric surgeon Dr. Younan "Now" Nowzaradan, who specializes in treating patients with excessive obesity. However, her journey to weight loss was far from simple, with her progress heavily affected by personal tragedy.
During filming, Lisa's partner and caretaker, Randy Rempel, passed away from COVID-19. This loss caused a major shift in her life and impacted her experience on My 600-Lb Life. Despite this setback, Lisa did reduce her weight to 553 pounds by the end of her documented journey, a significant drop from her initial weight. However, she continued to struggle to maintain her health goals after the show.

More about Lisa Ebberson from My 600-Lb Life
Fans of My 600-Lb Life saw Lisa Ebberson face numerous difficulties during her time on the show. At the start of her journey, physicians warned her that she would break her bones if she tried to stand after being bedridden for several years.
Lisa attributed her weight gain to a traumatic upbringing, during which she and her brothers had to fend for themselves, relying on fast food. This early struggle resulted in a lifetime battle with food addiction, which ultimately forced her to see Dr. Now for medical assistance.
In addition to increasing her mobility, Lisa wanted to get in touch with her children and grandkids again by losing weight. She joined the show in an attempt to meet the requirements for bariatric surgery, a potentially life-saving procedure.
However, despite these hopes, Lisa's attitude toward the program and those trying to help her, including Dr. Now, became a main feature of her time on the show. Fans were critical of her combative behavior, which included snapping at her dietician and physical therapist.
Tragedy and setbacks during My 600-Lb Life
The passing of Randy Rempel was one of Lisa's worst losses on the journey. Even though Randy encouraged Lisa's unhealthy habits, he was one of her strongest allies, helping with everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning.
Lisa was devastated by Randy's death and found it difficult to maintain her weight loss objectives. Following his death, Lisa resumed her weight loss efforts, with varying degrees of success, and began working with a new caretaker. Her stint on the show was especially turbulent since she was unwilling to accept assistance or follow the program's severe rules.
Lisa's life after My 600-Lb Life
Since leaving the show, Lisa has mostly avoided the spotlight. She removed many posts from social media accounts, maybe as a result of the unfavorable comments she received.
She reportedly now weighs around 495 pounds and is still working to meet the requirements for bariatric surgery. Lisa continues to spend time with her children and grandchildren while residing in Fairbury, Nebraska. Her son's girlfriend, who is a nurse, has also been assisting her in making better food choices.
Although Lisa did not finish her transformation on the show, she is still on her journey, even though she isn't working directly with Dr. Now.
