What Happened To Leneathra Reed From Season 8 Of My 600-Lb Life?

Writer James Rogers

During her time on the show, Leneathra was shown to be working out regularly with her trainer and appeared to be on the path to a healthier lifestyle (via Heavy). "I'm really hopeful that this, plus all the cutting back I've been doing is going to be the change I've been waiting for, and been needing for so long now," she said in one clip. However, after missing numerous appointments with Dr. Now, Reed eventually distanced herself from the weight-loss program, explaining her schedule as a single mother meant she was unable to fully commit. 

"It's unfortunate that Len has decided not to make her health a priority," Dr. Now told viewers. "I don't think she fully realizes how fast her time is gonna run out if she keeps going down the path she's on. But she hasn't been able to get past the hurdle in her mind where she justifies her responsibilities being her excuse to overeat and continue like this."

Since leaving the show, it hasn't been clear if Leneathra has managed to continue losing weight. However, in December 2020, Reed did provide an update to fans on Facebook which suggested she was still in the midst of her weight-loss journey. "I'm still on my journey but I am currently working on something that I unfortunately cannot share at the moment! I love y'all and hope to be back sharing my journey with you all soon," she posted (via Distractify).
