My 600-lb Life: Where Is Justin McSwain, The Star Of ‘My 600-lb Life,’ Now?

The TLC series, ‘My 600-lb Life’, documents some fantastic weight loss journeys undertaken by morbidly obese people. We realize that they must make drastic changes if they are to survive. While Dr. Now’s careful guidance and strict diet play a vital role, the bottom line is that participants are willing to adhere to the program and shed some pounds before they are approved for surgery. One of the most uplifting stories comes from Justin McSwain, who turned his life around after appearing on the show.

Justin McSwain comes from South Carolina and has begun his weight loss journey, forming a safe place. As founder and CEO of McSwain Media, his web development company, Justin is a focused individual. However, he was in for a shock when he visited Dr. Now in Houston for the first weighting. He discovered that he tilted the scale around 688 pounds, which was more than he expected.

Justin McSwain had hoped his weight would be in the 500s or the lower 600s. However, standing on the scale was a harsh awakening. In the course of time, the contestant opened up about how he had been ashamed of his stepmother as a child. She often locked the door of the pantry to prevent Justin from getting to it. Of course, Justin’s diet took a turn by the time he left his home and found his freedom. He admitted he had an eating disorder and didn’t know how to control the habit.

By working with Dr. Now, Justin stuck to his popular low-fat diet and went to the gym, where he was a regular visitor. He was given the green light for surgery on the stomach tube in six months. Justin eventually lost 334 pounds or 48.5% of his peak weight, which was one of the most significant weight losses on the show that season. See a picture of Justin’s transformation below.
