Tara Taylor – 600 Pounds
When Tara Taylor made her My 600-Lb Life debut, she weighed just about 600 pounds. Tara suffered from joint pain, breathing problems and didn’t have a social life. She has since dropped to 278 pounds and has been ready to put herself out there. She married a Mr. Eugene Perkins who sadly cheated on her, but Tara being the independent woman she is, wasn’t afraid to tell him to shove it and move on! Good on you, Tara!

James Jones – 750 Pounds
James Jones was the heaviest person to appear on the show at the time, at 750 pounds. He lost his father and sister because they, too, suffered from obesity, and he decided to make a change to honor them. After losing 53 pounds in two weeks, James got gastric bypass surgery and got skin removal surgery as he kept working hard at the gym. He lost more than 500 pounds, and we’re sure he’s proud of himself and what he managed to accomplish and how he inspired people to look after themselves.
