Brianne featured on TLC’s My 600-lb Life, as she tried to improve her life and drop the pounds. Where is she now on her weight loss journey?

She is one of several stars who allow cameras into their lives, when they decide to pay Dr. Now a visit – with hopes that he can help them lose weight.

Usually showcasing people who weigh more than 600 pounds, the TLC series delves into their backgrounds to find out the cause of their obesity.

So, where is My 600-lb Life’s Brianne now? Did she continue to lose weight? We’ve got the latest update on her journey here…

Who is Brianne Dias?

Brianne first appeared on My 600-lb Life in 2018, hoping to lose weight.

When stepping on the scales back then, she weighed 787 pounds.

The 33-year-old revealed her weight issues started when her siblings came into the world, which left her feeling like her family ignored her.

Her father, a member of the air force, started to become strict towards Brianne and didn’t like her weight, which affected her mentally.

She then turned to food for comfort, and gained weight, leading to a downward spiral on her health.
