Inspirational reality TV star Ashley B rose to fame on My 600-lb Life when she was at her heaviest weight. Desperate to get her life back and lose weight she turned to Dr. Now for help, she did well on the strict weight loss program and won the hearts of viewers. She later appeared in a Where Are they Now? special where she revealed that she had stuck with her successful weight loss program.
Ashley B’s weight struggles began at a young age after a troubled childhood. Her mother had a drug addiction and Ashley was abused by the husband of her babysitter, driving her to turn to food. Her addiction to food carried on into adulthood, and as she began to tip the scales at 725 lb’s her life was in danger from her own body weight, which was crushing her.
Determined to make a change, Ashley visited Dr. Now who put her on a low-carb, low-fat diet and told her to move more. After doing well on her weight loss plan, she was approved for surgery and has returned to My 600-lb Life to update fans of the show on her progress on several occasions.
Ashley lost a total of 350 lbs and since appearing on the show has continued to maintain her weight loss. She regularly updates her thousands of fans on her Facebook page and is enjoying her lighter life with her loving husband and young son.
