Amber Rachdi from My 600 Pound Life: See Her Insane Transformation!
A 24-year-old woman named Amber Rachdi gained worldwide fame following her appearance on Season 3 of My 600–lb Life. At that time she weighed 660 pounds and her life was in danger because of her weight.
Amber Rachdi was born on June 22, 1990, in Portland, Oregon.
Already at a young age, Amber struggled with her weight. At five years old, she weighed over 160 pounds.
Her weight problems continued. In her teenage years, she suffered with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder, which was triggered by an eating disorder. She took to food to combat her anxiety, eating several huge meals and plenty of candy every day as a form of comfort. By 16, she needed a wheelchair to get around.
Her weight had made it impossible to even do the smallest things, like taking a bath or walking down the stairs by herself.
The Daily Mail reported that her weight crushed her own wheelchair at the airport. It lead to her father, Abe, having to wheel her through the airport in an oversized luggage cart.
Amber also had to purchase two seats on the plane to fit, however she still had a hard time sitting there, as she almost couldn’t squeeze into the row.
Amber, a college dropout who had been unemployed for several years, met with surgeon Dr Nowzaradan, also known as “Dr Now” in Houston, Texas. The plan was for Amber to undergo a gastric bypass to reduce her enlarged stomach, but she couldn’t just do it right away.
Nowzaradan said that she had to lose at least 20 pounds in order for him to “even consider” performing surgery.
Eating healthy and exercise

She fought her way back with hard work, both mentally and physically. Following the show, she continued her pursuit of a normal lie. And today, she looks absolutely amazing!
She looks happy and healthy, and like she’s in a completely different place than she was during her My 600 Pound Life episode.
A different, much happier place.
Even after the end of the show, Amber never backed down from her new lifestyle. She stayed committed to her new fitness and eating plan, and never gave up and returned to the old unhealthy habits. With the great deal of discipline and determination, Amber continues to get healthier every day!
Sticking to a tight diet, and staying motivated by oneself is pretty hard, and that’s what makes Amber’s story very special. According to DailyMail, Amber has lost around 267 pounds in just one year, which is absolutely incredible!
She’s also active on social media, and she seems ready and willing to help out other people with weight loss or confidence or basically any old thing.
