  • About My 600-lb Life

"My 600-lb Life" is a reality television series that takes an intimate and often emotional look at the lives of morbidly obese people who regularly weigh more than 600 pounds. The show has been on the air since 2012, predominantly on TLC (The Learning Channel). It provides a deep and extensive analysis of the participants' travels as they confront and battle obesity over several months to years, guided by Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, a famous bariatric surgeon located in Houston, Texas, known as "Dr. Now."

Early Life of Jeanne Covey

Jeanne has a terrible history that has driven her to seek happiness in food, which has regrettably become an addiction. Jeanne was only five years old when she began stealing and consuming unhealthy treats from her violent grandmother as a means of retaliation, according to her mother, Barbara. Jeanne was assaulted by her mother's then-boyfriend a year later, and eating became her only source of comfort and enjoyment. Living in an unsanitary house with her nine dogs, as well as her mother and father, the latter of whom suffered from serious mental illness, Jeanne felt it was past time for her to lose weight and regain control of her own life.

What has happened to Jeanne Covey on the show?

Since she was a contestant on season seven of My 600-lb Life, Jeanne Covey has advanced considerably. The voyage for the Texas native was wrought with both physical hardships and emotional troubles. Jeanne weighed over 600 pounds when she made her debut and had trouble handling herself on her own. The middle-aged woman had been obese for a large portion of her life after accumulating weight while she was young. She was therefore deemed to be in an "extremely critical" state by Dr. Nowzaradan. She discovered that getting a gastric bypass surgery wouldn't be enough to start her weight loss. She was informed by Dr. Now that the operation would not resolve her eating issue and that she would need to be mature enough to take care of it on her own. Jeanne found it difficult to concentrate on losing weight following her doctor's appointment because her father had died and her mother had become unwell. Fortunately, she did see a mental health expert and made the decision to leave Houston.

Jeanne filed a lawsuit against the production

Jeanne now weighs 388 pounds after a significant weight loss. She didn't allow her change to deter her from bringing a lawsuit against the show's production company, either. Along with other members of the season 7 cast, the former My 600-lb Life star demanded $1 million in compensation from the program. According to reports, Jeanne brought the action to recover damages for claimed carelessness during the filming. The former reality star believed that the cast was intentionally utilized by the producers to support the plot of the program, from severe dieting and its dangers to other mental health-related concerns.

Jeanne Covey's Love for Wrestling

According to Jeanne's social media posts, she enjoys playing video games and watching professional wrestling. She responded to wrestlers on Twitter and shared stuff from All Elite Wrestling. She also loves animals, as seen by the numerous profile pictures of her pets. Jeanne is also extremely forthcoming about her passion for horror and her love of video games. The former cast member of My 600-lb Life recently changed her Facebook cover photo, which depicts Pac-Man escaping from ghosts disguised as well-known horror film villains. In general, Jeanne appears content and healthy in 2023.

Where is Jeanne Covey now?

Jeanne Covey currently resides in Roe, Arkansas, and she is a "Former Teacher's Aide." Just when Jeanne was beginning to see some success in her weight reduction quest after a difficult start in the program and struggles with her new food plans, things started to go south.
