My 600-Lb Life season 6 featured Tamy Lyn Murrell and her weight loss journey, and she has fared well after the show. Tamy was at 591 pounds when she decided to seek help from Dr. Nowzaradan. Like most people featured on the show, she suffered from trauma, and lost her father to a heart attack. Combined with the neglect from her mother, she turned to food for comfort. The Kentucky native had an impressive start to her weight loss journey on the show, losing 40 pounds in a month which ballooned to her losing 246 pounds by the end of her episode.
My 600-Lb Life alum Tamy seemed to be healthy even off the show. On her social media accounts, she posts pictures indicating that she is enjoying life as a grandmother. Tamy kept up with Dr. Now's diet and exercising. Pictures on her Facebook show her spending time with her grandkids, dressing them up, or even going shopping. According to Looper, Tamy also posts about the low-carb alternatives that she has stuck with. Anyone who watches My 600-Lb Life is familiar with Dr. Now's diet regimen being based mostly on low-carb substitutes.
Tamy Reconciled With Her Husband After My 600-Lb Life
Another important update that Tamy has shared has to do with her relationship with her husband, James. Just before her gastric bypass surgery, he revealed to her that he had cheated on her. Despite this saddening news, Tamy didn't let it stop her weight loss journey and still stayed on track to get the surgery. The My 600-Lb Life cast member revealed that they managed to work through their problems after the show, and James eventually proposed to her again. Tamy announced the happy news in a Facebook picture she shared on December 25, 2019. On May 4, 2021, Tamy shared that it was her wedding anniversary.
Tamy's life updates haven't all been rosy. She shared another health update that wasn't as savory as her weight loss journey. After suffering severe ankle pain, the My 600-Lb Life star went to see a doctor and got some bad news. She was diagnosed with a degenerative bone disease. Nevertheless, Tamy hasn't let this diagnosis stop her. She still keeps living her life to the fullest and is enjoying spending time with her family.
Tamy's story is one of the several feel-good weight loss journeys from My 600-Lb Life that keeps the viewers glued to their screens. Against all odds, Tamy made the decision to lose weight and stuck with it, and is enjoying the benefits of that decision. Although it seems like a possibility the show will be returning with more weight loss stories, there has been no official release date for My 600-Lb Life season 11.
