My 600-lb Life

One hundred contestants in top physical shape compete in a series of grueling challenges to claim the honor — and cash reward — as the last one standing.

The Biggest Loser features obese people competing to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of weight relative to their initial weight.

In this unique experiment, nine 21st century volunteers subject themselves to the weight loss diets and fitness regimes of previous generations. But have they bitten off less than they can chew?

Follow morbidly obese individuals as they fight for a chance to live the life they have always wanted, both for themselves and for their loved ones. Reaching a combined weight of more than 6,000 pounds, and at an extreme breaking point, these individuals are turning to weight loss authority Dr. Now, and his team of specialists, to get life-changing bariatric surgery and acquire the tools they need to deal with emotional eating. Through intimate diary cams and confessionals, each episode highlights one person's comprehensive experience as they share intimate inner thoughts, emotional and physical struggles, and their ultimate journey to take back their lives.
