Considering how great his episode was and how committed he was to losing weight… My 600-Lb. Life viewers really want a 2021 update on him. Where is Lucas Higdon now?
After some deep diving, we discussed Lucas does have a Facebook page. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much in the way of public posts. He did update his profile picture back in October. He is wearing the same ski hat in the photo that he wore in much of his episode. His face looks much slimmer in the updated profile picture suggesting — as of October — he was still on track with his weight loss.
If that profile pic was snapped toward the end of filming and he’s stayed on track, fans can speculate he’s lost anywhere from 60-90 pounds since filming concluded. So, Lucas Higdon likely weighs somewhere between 310 and 340 at this point in his weight loss journey. His profile suggests he also make have picked up a job as a grocery delivery driver again.

I was in complete awe!! His heart felt sentiment of what his goals were/are in life. God Bless his sister for being so supportive
I believe the Lucas episode to be one of my favourite episodes. He was determined from the start to change his life and lose the burden of his excess weight, and he went full force into his weight-loss journey. He made no excuses and although always a few pounds short of his goal, he continued on and didn’t give up. I would love to see him at his goal weight in a year or so and see what he is doing with his life now. Great guy and great outcome.
