Here's everything we know about Lisa Ebberson, a woman who first appeared on the show at 637 pounds.

My 600-lb Life: Where is Lisa E now?

Lisa Ebberson's episode of My 600-lb Life first aired on February 2, 2022.

Not much is known about her current whereabouts, other than that she lives in Fairbury, Nebraska.

Throughout Lisa's initial weight-loss journey, she appeared to be resistant to the program.

She and her partner Randy appeared to have a complicated relationship, and as much as he seemed to care for Lisa, she believed him to be an enabler - someone who continued to cook food for her, regardless of its nutrition content.

After arguing with her therapist, dietician, and Dr. Now, Lisa cut off contact with the weight-loss specialist.

Although technically still a part of Dr. Now's program, Lisa did not speak to him for months.

She and Randy were later diagnosed with Covid-19; Randy passed away from the disease.

Lisa went on to get back in touch with Dr. Now, and even lost over 80 pounds.

A few weeks later, however, she reportedly quit the program once more.
