Lifetime’s ‘The 6000 Lb Diaries With Dr. Now’ offers an unfiltered look into the lives of individuals battling severe obesity and their pursuit of a second chance. Chelsey Hall’s transformative journey was first introduced in season 1, episode 1, titled ‘Chelsey’. Her struggle with weight began in her childhood. When she was just 9 years old, she weighed nearly 300 lbs. In a desperate attempt to regain control over her weight, her mother sought help from the renowned doctor. However, the road proved to be quite difficult, and Chelsey gave up on treatment. When she realized that her rising weight could actually cost her life, she decided to seek help from Dr. Nowzaradan. During that time, her weight had reached 628 lbs. However, Chelsey’s resilience and determination ultimately helped her reclaim her life.

Chelsey Hall’s transformation was not just about battling morbid obesity. It was also about reclaiming her life’s purpose and passion. After graduating from Brenham High School, her life took several emotional turns. Eventually, she found a path that not only prioritized her but also allowed her to uplift others. In February 2024, that journey led the reality star to a new beginning in her role as an Esthetician. In this role, she has embraced the world of skincare. Her day-to-day life now revolves around helping others evaluate skin conditions and even recommending treatments. At the same time, Chelsey has been creating a powerful presence for herself on social media. She has gained a large fan base and has over 659K followers on Instagram.

Chelsey’s reach has also expanded to Facebook, where she runs a page with over 11K followers. It is another space where she connects personally with her fans. She announced the event of the BBW Celebration at the Knight Club, conducted on May 30, 2025. She further mentioned how it would be hosted by none other than herself. On YouTube, Chelsey continues to document her journey. In November 2024, she updated fans that her weight had dropped to 461.18 lbs.

Chelsey Hall is a Family Woman and an Individual With Immense Faith
Beyond her professional life, Chelsey’s world is anchored in her faith and family. Being a woman of deep faith, she often turns to spirituality to stay grounded whenever she faces any hurdles. She is also quite close to her family. She maintains an impressive bond with her mother, Elaine Hall. It is evident in the way she publicly honored her on Mother’s Day with her touching words of gratitude. Chelsey’s affection for her family spills into every corner of her life. Her older sister, Iesha Bennett, is a big part of her life, whom she lovingly calls “Ms. Make it Happen.” Their bond is built on years of shared memories and unwavering support.
Chelsey also has an incredible relationship with her cousin Jerrica Harris, who holds a special place in her heart. Besides this, her nieces and nephews often light up her world. From showering them with affection to encouraging them on their own journeys, she is the best aunt. The reality star even welcomed her nephew, Devin, into her fitness journey. Chelsey brought him along for her 75-day hard challenge when he had gained weight and asked for help. Friendship also plays a profound role in her life. She considered one of her closest friends, Latonya Pottain, to be just like her sister. Chelsey stood by her, even through her most difficult battles. She even offered Latonya encouragement in her weight loss journey.
Tragically, in May 2025, Chelsey faced a devastating blow when Latonya passed away. She honored her friend by penning down a heartfelt tribute, expressing her grief. She wrote, “This is hard for me to type. We became like sisters. We laughed and cried together. We were supposed to be outside this summer. I told you I was coming back.” Despite the challenges of life, Chelsey never shies from celebrating herself and flaunting her glam with confidence. When the reality star seeks respite from her life, she finds herself on a sandy beach, finding peace in the sound of the waves. As of writing, Chelsey has continued to take strides toward reclaiming her health.
