Ashley Bernard from My 600-Lb Life season 8 looks more fit in 2023. She now loves showing off her glamorous post-weight loss looks online.
Ashley Bernard had a transformative weight loss journey on My 600-Lb Life, and has since changed her life. The Louisiana woman was 31 years old when she debuted on the hit TLC show in 2020. At the time, she weighed 637 pounds, and suffered from various issues related to her morbid obesity. Ashley lived with her mom, and relied upon her family and elder daughter to care for herself. While she admittedly hated that, she had no other way to survive, as she was bedridden and unable to move.
Ashley consulted Dr. Younan Nowzaradan because she was tired of spending so much time at home, and using a walker. The 31-year-old mom of two stated that her stress had stopped her from becoming fit, and revealed that she was an assault survivor. However, Dr. Now inspired her to take responsibility. He told her not to use her past as an, “excuse.” As a result, Ashley quickly made progress, and began working hard at the gym, walking on the treadmill. Within months, the Louisiana woman dropped a lot of weight, and an impressed Dr. Now approved her for the weight loss surgery.
