Amber Rachdi, featured in Season 3 of My 600-lb Life,
began her journey at 23 weighing about 660 pounds.
She had struggled with obesity since childhood, and her
size deeply affected her health, confidence, and relationships.
Feeling anxious and unloved, Amber sought help from Dr.
Younan Nowzaradan. Though burdened by fear of failure,
she managed to lose 17 pounds and was approved for gastric
bypass surgery. The procedure marked the start of a remarkable transformation.
Through commitment and hard work, Amber lost 377 pounds.
Her journey went beyond physical change—she learned
to confront emotional eating, anxiety, and the
mental health struggles tied to her weight.
Today, Amber is an inspiration to many. With more
than 341,000 social media followers, she shares her
experiences openly, encouraging others to prioritize
both emotional well-being and physical health.
Her story is one of resilience, growth, and hope.
Amber shows that change is possible with courage,
dedication, and the right support. She continues to
inspire people facing similar challenges to believe in themselves and embrace a healthier future.
