This show changed my relationship with food. I couldn't gain weight and it hurt my health. I stopped thinking you only eat when you're hungry (which I never was) you do it to fuel your body. Popcorn didn't count as a meal. I needed protein, and to actually balance my diet. I'm finally in a health BMI range. I know my issues were very different from these people's, but I realized it's about your relationship with food. It clicked for me watching the show, and was able to apply it to myself. Thanks Dr. Now!

She’s so honest. I appreciate and respect that.

Watching this kind of show has inspired me to not give up on losing weight, because I do not want to find myself weighing 400+ pounds & developing diabetes. I've had too many family members lose their lives to diabetes. I've been eating low-carb for 2 years. Lost 80 lbs & my glucose levels are normal. I still enjoy sweets & bread, but they're eaten only for special occasions. It's OK. I'd rather have my health.

Finally!!!! A woman that can pronounce Dr. N's full name instead of calling him Dr. Now. Awesome Tanisha!!!!

She seems so nice (unlike some of the other people portrayed on this show). I hope she succeeds.

Cant believe the kind of patience this doctor has…

Seeing her being able to do work again and spending time with her family is amazing. Good that she got Dr. Nows help.

This is the most wholesome clip I’ve seen. I think it’s a good thing she didn’t celebrate losing 30 pounds. She knew there was more work to do.

Two years after surgery and only about 85 lbs lost from more 568... She's not doing too well. And she's perpetuating the cycle: her daughter is large. I wish them well; Tanisha seems like a nice lady.

Tanisha is a sensitive, intelligent, caring lady. She loves her family and is motivated to make changes. Way to go!!

Im proud of her for being really honest right at the start thats a really hard thing to do

This woman will get far in life if she sticks to it, the first thing she's excited to do is clean her house, scrub the toilet and that to me is the most positive thing one can do for their mental health because if your personal space, the only place you have to escape the world...if that's not clean and organized then nothing else will. And might I add that her home is one of the cleanest we've seen on this show which means when she couldn't do it ...she taught her daughters that skill, I really wish her the best because you'd be shocked at how many people can't clean.

What a sweet woman. I am happy she wants to change and do efforts in order to become healthy again and active. I wish her and her Family lots of walks, adventures and fun together.

There should NOT be chips in the house! No kind of junk at all. Her daughters are already very overweight and headed down the same path. Those girls need only to look at their mother to see what the future holds for them.

I’ll say this, her house is clean and neat and cute!! She’s going to be ok!! I just know it!!! I don’t know you , but girl, I love you!!

Good luck to all those trying to lose weight.

Tanisha your story is inspiring! Love the photos at the end and I like how you find joy in cleaning your home so you stay physically active. Keep going! It's encouraging me too!

Great job ! Keep it up 👏🏼 glad to see people on the show that actually loose weight

This is the first time I saw a nurse give a reaction to the scale results

So proud of her.

Aww I’m proud of her. God bless her 🙏🏽 and I love her night gown. I want one just like it

It's good that she's watching what she's eating healthy. But her kids are starting to get into her habit. She needs to make sure her kids are eating healthy too, and staying in shape.

Love it when Dr NOW goes into the hallway and throws shade about them

No! When you raise your kids to do whatever you want them to do and them to bring you whatever you want then your the enabler!!!! Don’t point at your child and say it’s his or her fault when you probably most likely get upset when they don’t bring you the foods you want! If they were to bring you home healthy foods all the time and it not be what you wanted to eat you will get upset. I don’t blame nobody but me for my weight gain!

I love this woman’s personality. I hope she has found success and happiness! ❤

Good for you doing stuff around your house yourself. It's hard to do when you're sick. Wish you all the luck going forward !

I give her respect for even trying to make progress

I hope her journey helps her girls. They seem to be on the same road as she was.

Dr says 30 pounds in a month, cuts to the next scene "its been a year and a half"

It's good she can move around and clean, but she has a well kept home

Truly amazing!! It is possible, I really believe people just need to change their mindset and it will help! Also, working out can be made fun it doesn’t have to suck!

Even the kids are overweight this is not good my 12 year old daughter was getting overweight last year and I made her lose weight with me we lost a good amount of weight together and we stay active.

i'm so happy for her taking her life back.

Couldn't she walk than pushing herself in a wheelchair?

Dang! It took her 1.5 years to lose a measly 30lbs?!

I wish her much success on her weight loss journey

God bless you sis. This brought tears to my eyes

what she said about her mom fr made me cry, "so she wont be able to see me making something out of myself" says so much :(

Thats really awesome that she met her goal! Looking forward to nore positive updates! We are rooting on you!

Great job Tanisha!!! God bless you ❤

Why is it that the overweight patients come to this clinic thinking they are going to get weight loss surgery immediately and no work on their behalf at all

Oh well done. I have only (!) 56lb to lose and you are such an inspiration. Well done and thank you for your video.

I’m sorry…did he say she’s only 32?????

The family photo was my favorite

I’m just wondering how they can afford all the food?

She's still huge after 2 years. Surgery is not a magic tool.

Bless her

In two years she should have been down to at least 280 instead of just she still bored

Yess Tanisha! Best wishes to her!

Best wishes. I wish her the very best.❤

So happy for you. You’ve got this!

12 pack of sodas EVERY DAY?? I’m big, but I have, at most, one can of soda a day. And not even every day. Soda is like….empty calories. It’s “fat bastard juice.”

Wow that was a low bar for her, what gives??

and here i am... 5.4 not even 100 pounds. the food those people eat in a day,would last me for a week...

I watch bc its great content but i also love the Dr's voice. 😂😂😂😂

Wonderful news 👏 well done

Great job on getting weigh loss over with! Way to go

I was the same after shunt surgery after 30 years of chronic pain I haven’t lost much weight not that I’m massive but it wasn’t the weight that was the weight holding me down. Since I got the shunt and the pressure in my brain sorted i did actually lose 2 stone before lockdowns then regained most of it and since lost a stone again. I just need to get more active again. But the biggest thing is I keep up significantly better with my home and day to day life. But then it’s not so hard to when everything doesn’t hurt anymore, putting shoes and socks on isn’t a massive effort (my joints were sort of stiff before) I couldn’t shower without it wiping me out badly, it got to a point where any simple task like cutting up a piece of wood with a saw or using a screwdriver broke me out in a sweat at the knowledge of what it was gonna do to my head I’d end up with thumping debilitating pain. But since the shunt that’s not the case. It’s hard to reverse so many decades of “if I do that I’m gonna suffer for it” to how it is now that yeh I’ll be tired but I’m not gonna hurt. I gained weight because I was so sick for so long I was a normal weight for about 8 years while already in pain but nope doctors don’t want to accept that it’s about plumbing in the brain and other factors not just weight. They are so blinkered it’s unbelievable.

Keep going - beautiful 😊

Confratulations Tenisha¡! I weigh 223 and I feel soooooo tired. I have GOT to get a crip and take contol of my life. I walk slower. I walked a marathon and i was the last one to finish. It was only a 5k. My friends are 10 years older than me and I lagged behind. I led a sedendary life style and it is taking a toll on me. I have fibroids and I lose a lot of blood ans that makes me SO WEAK. i want to get back in shape.

I've implemented a 1200 calories low carb high protein diet in my own life. In two weeks, I have lost 6 pounds. Now I know that won't stay that way as I get closer to medically normal weight. But I am over 70 pounds above the top number in the healthy range, so it should continue for a while. I feel fortunate that I can at least tell people honestly what caused the weight gain. Zyprexa an antipsychotic medication...it's one of only a few that work for me. But it makes me always hungry no matter how much I eat. I put on 90 pounds in 9 months on the medication. Normally this would be discontinued as a treatment, but my illness is such that the negatives of not taking the medication is greater than the weight gain.

I've never seen someone on my 600lb life who doesn't eat a huge amount of pizzas, chips and fast foods. Who eats "regular" meals in extra-large quantities like chicken and rice, baked potatoes and vegetables etc.

When my body doesn't get sugar I feel sick

If you put your mind to do something you can achieve

2 yrs & only 80lbs after surgery something ain't right

Good job

If she would just get out of the wheelchair and walk, she'd lose it so much faster. Is she even exercising at all? Take short walks every day, build up slowly to longer walks.

Good for her 💯💪🏾

I was rooting for you Tanisha and IM SURE others who watch the show was rooting for you. Don't give up Tanisha! Get back on your 1200 calorie program.Its not gonna be easy but You can do!! Ive lost 32 lbs this past Year.it wasn't easy but I see the results. And I m happy.Stick with the program Tanisha

She will get there

The guy next to her looks pissed

Poor her

Poor family

She’s only 32? Damn!! It’s good she’s honest, hope she sticks with it though

The fact that she has in her to point at her boyfriend or husband whoever he is to her No sweetheart you are to blame because you are the one that asks for the food and they already know if they don't do it for you you're going to me either extremely aggressive and mean you're going to be all right and they don't want to deal with it who would so they just get it for you but instead of being like I'm the culprit I'm the one who starts everything I ask for it and if they don't get it for me I go tantrums they love to point fingers that everyone but themselves

Her hair looks nice

It took her a year and a half to loose what she could have lost in a month

Climb every mountain, people!

I saw the middle part on the short ♥️

Stay positive, you will win

Only 80lbs a year after surgery? That's bad. And 34lbs the entire 1st year. By this point she should have been down at leat more than 200 for her size. She's obviously still eating junk, still drinking soda. 1st show she said cutting them back not giving them up. And she's still using a wheelchair so zero exercise yet others who are bigger, with huge edemic legs and on oxygen will walk then exercise. She hasn't really tried and I'm sure she'll be back to her former weight

Cool way they spelled her name. Cadsidy.

There's no reason to drink soda when carbonated water is the same for no calories!!

some people shouldnt be granted food stamp

After watching this show I’m down 10 pounds! 40 more to go!

It's crazy even her daughters gained weight throughout the show her mom passed away from obesity and she's killing herself the same way

That child has quite a tummy on her too

I have diabetes and other health issues that he talks about. I don't have a dietitian he's the closest. I'll never have weight loss surgery

5"1 wow it alot on her body. Why do she need the wheelchair? I didn't know she had kids. I hope the weight loss surgery worked for her.

good job

How can they afford all this

It cut off the word house. This could have gone in a nasty direction.

Good! Hair for her

So proud of you Alicia

Looks like her daughters are going the same way as her

The fastest way to lose 30lbs is to cut an arm off.

Oooh she eatin too late!

But she hasn’t really lost any weight

Where did her husband go? I wonder if he came out.
