My 600-LB Life Star Lindsey Witte’s Story
Lindsey Witte is the name of a woman who weighed over 600 pounds and had a severe addition to eating food. At the start of the episode, it was revealed to fans that she had always been overweight.
Witte had the misfortune of learning poor eating habits from her father. This continued into her adulthood. Back in her 20’s, she did have a gastric sleeve surgery that allowed her to lose a little over 200 pounds. She, however gained most of the weight back by the time she landed in her 30’s.
“I feel like it’s a miracle to still wake up every morning. So the moment I wake up, I say a little prayer – thank you for making me wake up because I’m just terrified of dying in my sleep. My weight’s just gotten to the point to where my body feels like it’s falling apart and I’m in constant pain. To where now I can barely live my life.” Lindsey shared with viewers during the episode.
The young woman had always found food to be comforting.
Lindsey had a rough childhood with an abusive father. She found a great deal of comfort in turning to food. It was something she could depend on when she couldn’t count on her father. Today, Lindsey Witte is happily married to her husband Paul.

Their marriage, however, wasn’t always perfect. Her husband Paul has his own demons as he struggles with an alcohol addiction. This, unfortunately, caused his wife to continue to turn to her unhealthy eating habits.
She weighted 647 pounds when she stepped on Dr. Younan Nowzaradan‘s scale.
Lindsey ultimately made the decision to temporarily move to Houston. While being away from her husband she managed to lose 131 pounds before she received approval for a life saving surgery.
