My 600-Lb Life: Whatever Happened To JT?

The reality series "My 600-Lb Life" depicts the weight loss journeys of people who can be considered morbidly obese. Those who appear on the show work alongside Dr. Younan Nowzardan, aka Dr. Now, to shed as many pounds as possible before potentially undergoing a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass. One of the heaviest individuals featured is Julius "J.T." Clark, who weighed 892 pounds. In addition to various health issues associated with that weight, he also had a 100-pound lymphedema mass on his leg. Following Dr. Now's regimen, Clark lost over 400 pounds on the docuseries, ending at 491 pounds.

Throughout the run of "My 600-Lb Life," viewers have been interested in learning what happened to the episode subjects once the cameras stopped rolling. There have been updates about several people, including Ashley Reyes and Randy Statum, among others. Audiences took a liking to Clark after his episode aired, with some expressing hope he stayed on the right path. Others were curious about Clark's mass, wishing the episode revealed whether or not he had it removed. Here's what we know about Clark since his time on "My 600-Lb Life."

J.T. had his mass removed and is staying healthy

Compared to other people featured on "My 600-Lb Life" (who are active on social media to update fans on their progress), Clark was relatively quiet in the immediate aftermath of his episode's 2020 premiere. However, in 2023, he shared positive news on his Facebook page, revealing he was getting the mass removed from his leg. People in the comments section were enthusiastic about Clark taking his next step, sending him well-wishes and praising his appearance on the show. Many find Clark's journey affecting and inspiring.

Fortunately, Clark has remained healthy. In March 2023, he updated his Facebook profile picture to showcase his weight loss. He also appears to be in a good place in his personal life, sharing that as of February, he is in a relationship. "My 600-Lb Life" viewers will be happy to see Clark is one of the show's success stories, and hopefully, the best is yet to come for him.
