Emotionally Gripping Stories of MY 600-LB LIFE & SKIN TIGHT on TLC

Tomorrow night on TLC, prepare yourself for emotional stories on new episodes of MY 600-LB LIFE at 8/7c and SKIN TIGHT at 10/9.

At 8/7c on MY 600-LB LIFE we'll follow James of Paducah, Kentucky, 46 years-old and 791 pounds, as he lies captive in the confines of his own bed. After his hard-drinking mother died when he was just a young teen, James sought comfort by constantly overeating. While he was always overweight, an ankle injury took James off his feet and on the road to super-morbid obesity. Now James suffers from an extreme case of cellulitis and he's unable to move his legs, much less stand on them or walk. Desperate to get his life back, James wants to qualify for weight loss surgery in Houston but the logistics and finances seem impossible. Can James find a way out of the double-wide trailer that's been his prison for years and get on the road to Texas? And if he survives the trip, will he lose enough weight to get approved for surgery before his body finally gives up?

Then at 10/9c on SKIN TIGHT, we'll follow Holly, 33 years-old from Cleveland, TN, who lost a total of 200-lbs. Holly's weight fluctuated throughout her adolescence, and a rough home life caused her to leave home to get married at age 16. Very quickly Holly started having children of her own and regaining the weight. Her young husband soon left her and she gained even more weight. Holly hit a BREAKING POINT when she developed a cellulitis infection on her leg. After she almost lost her leg, she decided to have the gastric sleeve surgery to give herself a chance to lose the weight, for good. She has an amazing fiancé who is ready to get married, but Holly can't stand the thought of her excess skin being forever a part of her special day.

We'll also follow Mark, 42 years-old from Boise, ID, who lost a total of 262-lbs. Mark was a high school athlete, but after graduation, the heavy workouts stopped and he continued to eat as though he was burning the same amount of calories. The moments of euphoria that he once got from exercise were replaced by moments of disgust, and it was not long before Mark had a medical scare and found himself at 440-lbs. Mark knew he needed to make a lifestyle change if he wanted to be there for his wife and three daughters, but now a blanket of skin covers his muscular physique. He worked hard to lose this weight to set an example for his daughters but he finds himself avoiding activities because of the loose skin., and he needs it removed to truly return to the body that made him so proud.
