My 600-lb Life star Syreeta Covington wanted to change her life on the TLC reality series. There is now an update about her life after the show.
My 600-lb Life season 11 star Syreeta Covington wanted to change her life on the TLC series, and there's now an update about her life. Syreeta was 31 years old and very overweight, so she sought help from renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, AKA Dr. Now. When Syreeta began her weight loss journey with him, she was shocked to see that she had gotten up to 603 pounds. Syreeta lost some weight by following Dr. Now's diet and exercise program, but it wasn't enough.
My 600-lb Life's Dr. Now approved Syreeta for weight loss surgery under the condition that she would lose another 25 pounds in a month after her initial 59-pound weight loss. However, after four months, she had gained nine pounds instead. She went to therapy, and worked hard to meet Dr. Now's next goal of losing 40 pounds in two months. Syreeta lost 29 pounds instead, but Dr. Now said that if she kept progressing over the next two months, he would perform weight loss surgery on her. After working with Dr. Now for a year, Syreeta lost 97 pounds and weighed 506 pounds.
My 600-Lb Life's Syreeta Covington Continued To Try To Lose Weight
After My 600-lb Life, Syreeta hasn't shared if she had weight loss surgery. Her Facebook page has many posts that indicate that she has continued to work out after the show ended. In her most recent photos from January 22, Syreeta seems to be staying on track, and not gaining weight. In a post from August 2022, Syreeta wrote, "I literally worked out for a whole 48 mins by myself without my trainer this time." This post proved that she was motivated to lose weight.
My 600-Lb Life's Syreeta Covington Is Still Married To Her Husband
Syreeta and her husband Lawrence are still married. In another photo posted on January 22, Syreeta smiled while standing next to him. She looked as though she has kept up with her weight loss transformation. Lawrence was a great source of support throughout Syreeta's My 600-lb Life journey.
Syreeta had a difficult life growing up. As a survivor of childhood mental, physical, and sexual abuse, she turned to food as a source of comfort. However, through diet, exercise, and therapy, she worked hard to achieve her weight loss goals. At the end of her My 600-lb Life episode, she revealed that she wanted to have a baby with Lawrence. Hopefully, Syreeta will qualify for weight loss surgery soon and live a healthier and happier life.
