1000 Lb Best Friends: Why Did Tina Decide To Leave The Series?

Tina Arnold took to Instagram in September 2024 to post about her departure from 1000 Lb Best Friends. Her decision to leave the popular TLC series was due to both herself and the production team. She shared that the series is now specifically giving importance to weight loss surgery rather than general weight loss.

Due to this reason and Tina’s lack of interest in bariatric surgery, she felt “there was no longer a place” for her on the show. Moreover, she explained that the production team believes they cannot force anyone into making medical decisions. Since Tina’s choices don’t align with the show’s goals, she decided not to participate.

Tina also mentioned that the production thinks viewers want quick and prominent results. They believe this can be best achieved only through surgery. However, she thinks her progress has been consistent without the need for any surgery. Now that she is no longer part of the show, she is looking forward to a more judgment-free environment.

Tina added, “I admit, I’m frustrated by what I feel was manipulation and dishonesty behind the scenes.” She is also glad to be away from the negativity that came up during the process. After leaving her TLC career, Tina is now focusing on her entrepreneurship journey. She has just released her weight loss book to motivate individuals to reach their weight loss goals without surgery. For the latest 1000 Lb Best Friends updates
