Kandi and Brandi Dreier were able to overcome their tough childhood on My 600-Lb Life and are one of the greatest success stories to come out of the show. The twins didn't have a good support system growing up, saying that they only had each other and food to get through their trauma. At 29 years old, Brandi weighed 587 pounds, and Kandi weighed 604 pounds. The Vancouver, Washington natives were able to lift each other up, and their progress has been astonishing.

As cast members from My 600-Lb Life season 5, Kandi and Brandi showed Dr. Now they were willing to work hard to lose weight, but it wasn't easy. Many alums of the hit reality TV series struggle with the weight loss necessary to receive bariatric surgery, and establishing healthier habits is also incredibly difficult when dealing with food addiction. However, Kandi and Brandi were able to beat the odds.

Kandi And Brandi Lost Over 400 Pounds

After the show, Kandi and Brandi lost more than 400 pounds and were almost entirely unrecognizable. The two were dog moms on the show, but Brandi revealed in 2018 that she had given birth to her first child. In 2020, Brandi gave birth to baby number two. Kandi does not seem to have any kids of her own, but is a doting aunt. Brandi is married to the father of her children, and Kandi appears to be in a relationship with a woman named Ruth.

Kandi & Brandi Are Loving Life

Kandi also shocked fans with her new body art, making it easier to tell her and Brandi apart. She got a full-sleeve tattoo with designs all up her right arm. Though they initially updated My 600-Lb Life fans on Facebook after their episode aired, they have kept a low profile and stayed out of the spotlight since late 2020.

Kandi and Brandi described their lives as miserable when they started on the show, motivating them to lose weight and qualify for surgery. On My 600-Lb Life, the pair both had gastric bypass surgery from Dr. Now. While Brandi's surgery was a success, Kandi was put into a medically induced coma, but they both pulled through and are thriving today. They showed a commitment to turning their lives around and have gone on to start families of their own now.

Many siblings on My 600-Lb Life have gone on an extreme weight loss journey with varied success. Like Kandi and Brandi, brothers Beni and David Bolton weighed 1,300 lbs. They lost half of their body weight through surgery and a healthier lifestyle. Though Kandi and Brandi suffered abuse at an early age and had no parental guidance, they have become one of the most heartwarming stories to come out of the show.
