00:00That led to me getting pregnant when I was 13.
00:02Meet Lashanta, star of TLC's My 600-lb Life,
00:06who weighed over 660 pounds at the time of filming.
00:09She has also revealed that she got pregnant at the age of 13
00:12and had her baby at age 14.
00:14So my life completely changed because I had my baby when I was 14.
00:19And my boyfriend denied the child was his, so we broke up.
00:22Lashanta went on to talk about how things changed after she had her baby as a teen.
00:26I had kept my pregnancy from my mom.
00:29I really thought she was gonna get mad, but she didn't.
00:32So I dropped out of school after 9th grade, and I got a job.
00:36Lashanta then admitted that having a baby so young led her to grow up too early,
00:41which made her turn to food.
00:42So to deal with that, I started eating more and more.
00:46And in the midst of all that food at work, I eat on the break.
00:50I ate when I came home.
00:52When she moved out of her mom's house, her weight began to spiral.
00:54After having three more kids, Lashanta continued to eat
00:57and almost reached 600 pounds by the time she was 30.
01:00It got to the point that I couldn't walk at all.
01:03For the last two years of my life, I've been bed-bound.
01:06My son started doing everything for me.
01:09Lashanta's mom has expressed her concerns for her daughter.
01:11My words fear that I might come here and she's dead in the bed.
01:15So I always talk to Lashanta about her weight, but she gets mad.
01:18Whilst on the show, Lashanta met with a weight loss surgeon who said she needed to lose weight
01:23before he could approve her for surgery.
01:25So I'm gonna give you a high protein, low carb, 1200 calorie a day diet.
01:29Okay.
01:30Aside from that, you're gonna have to start doing some exercise.
01:34Lashanta did eventually lose weight and was approved for the surgery.
01:37However, despite the weight loss users in the comments were only focused on one thing.
01:41A mother at 13?
01:43Why does everyone just gloss over this?
01:45She had a baby at 14?
01:46What the hell is going on in that family?
01:48But Lashanta isn't the only TLC star to make waves recently.
01:51Got the fat hotties with the bodies going to the beach.
01:54A new TLC show which is being called the new Tammy and Amy premieres this month.
01:581,000 pound roomies focuses on 630 pound Jazz and 425 pounds Nisha,
02:04two roommates that have a relationship like sisters.
02:06They have tried a number of things to lose weight,
02:08including drinking sea moss, which can be seen in the trailer.
02:13Jazz reveals she needs to lose the weight for her daughter
02:16and sets a target of 200 pounds.
02:18I'm on my daughter's ass.
02:20I have to be here for her.
02:21Doctors have said without the weight loss surgery, her prognosis is not great.
02:25If Jasmine doesn't undergo the surgery, most likely she will not survive for long.
02:30Jazz suffers leg pain and has to go to hospital.
02:32Nisha, I'm scared.
02:35Yeah.
02:35I'm never gonna be here to walk again.
02:37Nisha gets emotional when reflecting on the situation.
02:40I don't know what happened to her, but I know that it's a wake-up call.
02:45The two met online as strangers, but now are best friends.
02:48However, they don't always agree on everything.
02:50And we even see them arguing in the trailer.
02:52I'm acting like you was crawling.
02:55I wasn't gonna let you just crawl.
02:57Crawl in your little ass car.
02:58After first impressions, Jazz has been praised for her beauty.
03:01Jazz's face card is insane.
03:03Man, when she lose that weight, she gonna be getting all the men.
03:05We can expect big emotions from this new show.
