Latonya Pottain, who appeared on season 11 of My 600-Lb Life, has shared her weight loss journey on the popular TLC series and has now set her goals for 2023. At the beginning of her episode, Latonya, a 37-year-old from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighed 632 pounds and sought help from renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, aka Dr. Now. Latonya revealed that she had met with him five years prior but had not followed through with his program. Unfortunately, Latonya failed to qualify for weight loss surgery this time around as well, resulting in Dr. Now stating that there was nothing else he could do for her during the episode's conclusion.

Latonya weighs almost 700 pounds on My 600-Lb Life. She's at a crossroads and she's ready to make better choices for her health and for her future. One reason she wants to make a change is because she wants to be healthy to take care of her goddaughter, who she cares for while the toddler's mom works.
But another reason involves Latonya's fiancé, Daune Anderson. In the episode, Daune explains that he takes care of Latonya some of the time and he's willing to essentially do whatever she wants to keep her happy. Latonya has concerns about being able to walk down the aisle, however, and she hopes to start to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle before her nuptials.
Since the episode was filmed, it looks like Latonya and Daune got married. He's listed as her husband on Facebook and, judging by Latonya's ability to move with a walker at the end of the My 600-Lb Life episode, she may have been able to walk down the aisle, as she had hoped.

By the end of Latonya's episode, she weighs less than 600 pounds, which is an accomplishment. However, it doesn't make her eligible for bariatric surgery and she has to continue to trudge along to lose more. She lost weight prior to that weigh-in, but she gained some back, which is the problem. In January 2023, Latonya shared a Facebook post to update her friends and family about her progress.
"My story will help other people," she wrote, of her My 600-Lb Life episode. "No, I have not reached my goal, but I'm working on me. Please keep all negative comments to yourself. If you know me, then you know I come with that [fire] that will blow back. So if you wanna do anything for me, say a positive prayer and thank you in advance." But, as with other participants on the show, it's all about taking it day by day.
