Roshanda, Brandi & Clarence Perrio Update on ‘My 600-lb Life’

Roshanda, Brandi and Clarence Perrio, stars of the TLC series My 600-lb Life, were known as the “One-Ton Family” when they were featured on the show during Season 6. The siblings weighed over 2,000 pounds when they first traveled to Houston to work with celebrity bariatric surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan four years ago, and they are returning for the May 20 episode of Where Are They Now? to give fans an update on their lives today.

The TLC description of their followup episode, titled “One-ton Family,” reads, “Together weighing more than a ton, siblings Roshanda, Brandie & Clarence set out to lose weight as a family. But the all-for-one approach may be hurting more than it helps when each of them shows signs of heading in the wrong direction after surgery.”

Here’s what we know about the reality stars, their journey with Dr. Now, and where they are today ahead of tonight’s episode. (Warning: some spoilers on the Perrio siblings’ stories ahead! Turn back now if you don’t want anything ruined for you before the episode airs!)

The Perrio Siblings Were All Originally Approved for Weight Loss Surgery

At the start of their weight loss journey, Roshanda weighed 783 pounds, Brandie weighed between upwards of 650 pounds, and Clarence said he weighed less than both of his sisters, although his weight was still debatable.

According to Distractify, the Perrio siblings were characterized as “super morbidly obese” by Dr. Now, and they struggled to exert control over their eating habits before finally traveling to Houston to work with Dr. Now.

“We’ve been to doctors over the years who have told us there’s nothing they can do to help us because we’re too big,” one of the Perrios shared during their original episode.

However, by the end of her journey with the bariatric doctor and after a lot of hard work, Brandi was the first to be approved for the weight loss surgery, followed by Clarence shortly after. Seeing both of her siblings approved for the weight loss surgery prompted Roshanda to work harder and stick to her diet, and when she finally dropped down to just over 600 pounds, Dr. Now also approved her for surgery.

Roshanda & Clarence Are Still Working to Lose Weight

The Perrio siblings lost a combined 700 pounds by the end of their first episode, Distractify reports. Although Rashanda was still 600 pounds in early 2019, Brandie was down to an impressive 370 pounds, while and Clarence weighed in at 397.

My 600 Lb Life airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. EST on TLC. You can find more coverage on the Season 8 cast and subjects here.
