My 600-lb Life stars Lee Sutton, and Rena Kiser appeared in season 6 of the TLC show. They decided to resolve their health and anger issues together. The story behind their coming together is sweet and straightforward.
The fans might note that Lee and Rena met each other at a weight loss clinic a few years ago. They instantly hit it off and fell heads over heels in love with each other. Because their earlier clinic didn’t allow for the patients to date, the couple had to let go of it. However, they didn’t give up on their goal to become and live healthy. Let’s have a look at the latest update in their lives.

My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now shows the couple struggling with their weight-loss. After Lee shed some significant amount of weight, he now weighs 411 pounds. Although he’s happy about his weight dip, Dr. Now is afraid that Lee is getting back to his old ways. This might result in some major roadblocks ahead.
