JT, a native of Owasso, Oklahoma, appeared in season 8 of My 600 LB Life in 2020. At that time, JT was 32 years old and weighed an astonishing 892 pounds. Seeking help, JT turned to renowned bariatric surgeon Dr Younan Nowzaradan or Dr Now, who agreed to assist him. Dr Now put JT on a serious diet, which helped him lose 126 pounds. He also advised JT to relocate to Houston to reduce the toll of constant travel. At the start of his journey, JT had a girlfriend, Jessica who eventually left him due to his untrollable addiction. Fortunately, his cousin Blair stepped in to support him in Houston.

Initially, JT struggled with motivation after Jessica’s departure. However, he persevered and managed to shed nearly 400 pounds, bringing his weight down to 491 pounds. Dr Now then informed him that he would soon be ready for his lymphedema surgery. JT did not appear on season 12 of My 600 Lb Life but his transformation continued.

Post surgery JT, who weighed 357 pounds at that time, lost an additional 80 pounds. Overall, JT has lost almost 600 pounds and counting to date.
