My 600-lb Life: Nikki’s before and after pics show her impressive 400lb weight loss

Who remembers Nikki Webster from My 600-lb Life? When she was first introduced to us on the show she weighed a dangerous 650lb and couldn’t complete some of the most simple tasks. Webster joined the show in fear of her future. 

However, after successful gastric bypass surgery, she received a second chance at life and it is safe to say the My 600-lb Life star has made the most of it. The reality star is almost unrecognizable now; she has clearly stuck to her weight loss goals, and we couldn’t be happier. 

Reality Titbit is here to tell you all about her weight loss journey including how much she has lost so far and exactly how she lost it, check it out.

Nikki has lost 450lb

Nikki on My 600 lb Life’s journey wasn’t an easy one, to say the least. Still, that star has kept her fans updated via her Instagram since her appearance on the show, and one time she posted a message of gratitude, thanking all the people who have stuck by her through the hard times, including her new husband Mark. 

In the message, she mentioned that she now weighed 200lb meaning she lost a whopping 450lb since we saw her on our screens. She explained:

I’m thankful for those people that support and love me unconditionally — that have loved me at 650 pounds … at 200 pounds … and everything in between. Those people have been patient with me as I learn what life is and what it’s all about.

Nikki opened up to People about the struggles she faced before her weight loss journey, like not being able to do the simplest of tasks. However, what hurt her the most was when she was stopped from seeing her sister’s children because her weight was “distressing them. Nikki explained at the time:

My weight is debilitating. My body is so painful, I hate it. But I say this to myself. Food is an addiction to me and my addiction is killing me.

Nikki lost the weight through diet and exercise

Aside from the My 600-lb Life star’s incredibly supportive husband who helped guide Nikki through her journey, she said she lost the weight mainly by finding the correct diet and exercise regime that worked for her. The reality star highlighted that walking was one of her favorite ways to lose weight:

I do a lot of walking, that’s my favourite thing to do. I’ll walk at least 2 to 3 miles a day or I try to. I’ll also try to do weight training and that kind of thing. I go to the gym every now and then and do those sorts of things.

Nikki added that it was sometimes very difficult to stick to it but highlighted the importance of consistency, saying:

Consistency is the most important part of all this and if you don’t have it then it’s really difficult to be successful. While I’ve been able to be consistent, it’s still difficult. Consistency and balance.
