My 600-lb Life star Nathan Prater has remained committed to Dr. Now’s weight loss program. As a result, he’s only gone and dropped a whopping seven pant sizes, and got skin removal surgery.
Long-time viewers of My 600-lb Life will remember Nathan and his partner, Amber. He first joined the TLC show after his weight gain stops him from carrying out his job as a drama teacher.
Nathan Prater on My 600-lb Life
Nathan Prater appeared on My 600-lb life with his partner, Amber, who is also undergoing a weight loss journey. The married couple, who first met in 2011, weighed over 1000lb combined.
Dr. Now warned Nathan that his habits were killing him after weighing in at 607 pounds at the beginning of his episode. His wife Amber wasn’t far behind him at 502 pounds.
Nathan was urged to stick to 1,200 calories. He also decided not to eat anything after 6pm, and made a point to have dinner before 5.30pm, and has since appeared on My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now?
He’s dropped seven pant sizes
Since Nathan committed to Dr. Now‘s weight loss program, he has gone from 9XL to 2XL in pant sizes. He has never enjoyed trying on clothes but says he’s “dreamed of this day for so long”.
He’s been thriving in his theater job since losing weight, had skin removal surgery and lost way more than the 150lbs he originally shedded. Nathan currently works as a theatre director at an independent school.
Five weeks after his skin removal, Nathan’s wife says it’s “so nice to see him get his confidence back,” while he “wishes Amber was further along so we could share the [clothes shopping] experience more.”
Amber ‘isn’t happy’ with own weight
After meeting Nathan’s wife, Dr. Now revealed that while he is proud of his client’s progress, that he is concerned Amber, who had weight loss surgery at 16 years old, has a “weight problem”.
He added that it is very hard for one person in a family to eat healthy if others are not. She lost over 360 pounds with her first surgery, and was a “success” until she had children.
Now, she’s “not happy” with her current weight but is committed to the process. She wrote on Facebook on April 30: “I have been on a journey of getting my health back under control.”
“I went to the doctor today and my hard work is paying off. Not only have I started feeling better but I have also lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Slow and steady wins the race,” Amber added.
It’s no secret that I have had a lot go on lately but doesn’t everyone! I’ve been trying to think of the words to say…
