Amber Rachdi ended her time on My 600-Lb Life, where she shared her weight loss journey. Here is an update on how she’s doing after being on the show.
Amber Rachdi was one of the stars of My 600 lb-Life season 3, and it's time to share what she has been up to since leaving the show. Amber was just 23 years old and weighed about 660 lbs. When she made her debut on My 600-lb Life, she was hoping to seek Dr. Younan Nowrazadan’s help. Amber’s weight issues and addiction to food started in her childhood when she was just five years old, and it constantly got worse as she grew up. As an adult, she no longer felt validated and beautiful in her relationship with her partner Rowdy.
Besides losing weight, Amber also had to overcome anxiety issues and the paralyzing fear that she wouldn’t be able to stick to Dr. Now’s guidelines. However, the Oregon native’s determination paid off, as she lost about 17 lbs, qualifying her for a gastric bypass surgery after altering her eating pattern. After the surgery, Amber continued working towards her goal, eventually shedding nearly 377 lbs by the time she left the show, making her one of the most impressive success stories of My 600-lb Life. Here is an update about what has happened to Amber since then.
Due to her impressive stint on My 600-lb Life, Amber’s story and transformation have served as an inspiration for many others looking to follow in her footsteps. Since leaving My 600-lb Life season 3, Amber, who is now living a healthier life, has become a social media influencer with over 260K followers on Instagram. However, she is also active on other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Amber enjoys interacting with her followers, and often offers advice and guidance to those going through similar experiences to what she went through on My 600-lb Life.
My 600-Lb Life's Amber Rachdi Is A Mental Health & Body Positivity Activist
During her weight loss journey, Amber struggled with severe anxiety, and she started attending therapy after the gastric bypass surgery, which helped her identify triggers and examine coping mechanisms. However, since leaving the show, Amber has become a vocal advocate of mental health and body positivity. Most of her social media captions contain positive and supportive messages to people struggling with either mental health or body identity.
Amber also warns people about the dangers of getting complacent during their weight or mental health struggles. Throughout her time on My 600-lb Life, Amber showcased enormous physical and psychological strength in order to achieve her weight loss goal. Although she now lives a much healthier and happier life, it’s good to see how Amber is actively helping others succeed and overcome the same struggles she went through.
