What Tamy Lyn Murrell From My 600-Lb Life Is Doing Now
TLC's "My 600-lb Life" is one of the most jaw-dropping shows on TV. Viewers watch patients undergo weight-loss surgery after all other options are exhausted, and oftentimes, the complications that can follow. Many patients remain committed to their weight loss journey after getting transformative surgery, while others struggle to meet the requirements for surgery in the first place.
Fans can't forget Tamy Lyn Murrell, who had a difficult childhood after her father died and her mother subsequently fell into a deep depression. Because Tamy had no one to take care of her, she began to eat whatever she wanted. "It was my friend, my parent, my loved one," she said on her eating habits. When she was 18, she met James while she was working as a janitor. James didn't care about Tamy's weight, saying, "I tend to like bigger girls, so that's what attracted me to Tamy ... It was kind of like love at first sight."
Fans will also remember when Tamy could barely complete a load of laundry before her surgery, as she became dizzy and fell to the floor. Tamy has changed a lot since her appearance on the show during Season 6, when she weighed 591 pounds, per InTouch Weekly. Keep reading to see what she's up to today.
