Season after season, TLC's My 600-lb Life has documented the unscripted journeys of countless morbidly obese moms, dads, sons, and daughters on the road to a healthier, more independent life. But that doesn't mean that the cameras capture the full story. Here's everything they tried to hide on the show.

My 600-lb Life may show you just how difficult it is for participants to shed half their body weight, but the road to recovery is far from over after the cameras stop rolling. Some stars thrive while others find it hard to keep the weight off and live a normal life, one that doesn't involve over-eating and remaining housebound.

But the show does follow-up with some of its former cast members months or even years after their TV debut. The spinoff series My 600-lb Life: Where Are they Now follows former series favorites as they continue with their weight loss journeys and do things they could have never done before.

In 2015, TLC caught up with Zsalynn Whitworth from Season 2, who lost 400 pounds on the show, and even more weight after the cameras turned off. That transformation gave her the confidence to even start dating for the first time since her divorce. Keep watching to learn What The Cameras Tried To Hide On My 600-Lb Life!
