1000-lb Best Friends: Meghan Crumpler before Weight Loss
1000-lb Best Friends has Meghan Crumpler, who is taking on a weight loss journey. Alongside her friends Vannessa Cross, Ashely Sutton, and Tina Arnold. All four friends are on the bigger side and trying to lose weight together. Meghan started her journey a little earlier than them, though. She is 42 and lives in Georgia with her boyfriend, Jon. She says, “The only things that are good about being fat is: One you can’t get kidnapped, and two you age well because the fat fills in the wrinkles.” But there are so many more negative reasons she talks about too.

Meghan from 1000-lb Best Friends says that she sometimes can’t make it to the bathroom. So, she has to say “f**k it” and pee on the floor. She even sets up pee pads under her bed. But growing up, she didn’t have a problem with her weight until she was around 16. She explains that her weight problem escalated when she got into a bad abusive marriage. She even needed oxygen all the time. But when her father died, she promised him she would lose weight, and now she is on a mission.
TLC Star’s Battle to Health
1000-lb Best Friends’ Meghan Crumpler promised her father that she would get healthy on his death bed. And she is keeping her word. She starts her weight loss by trying to convince 41-year-old bestie Vannessa Cross to join her. Unfortunately, it takes a while to get her on board. Meghan meets with Dr. Charles Procter and finds out her starting weight at 496 pounds. He gives her five years to live if she doesn’t make a change in her life.
Dr. Procter tells her she needs to lose twenty pounds to qualify for weight loss surgery. She lets him know that she will go beyond twenty pounds. She follows the diet and works hard to avoid all her favorite foods. It all pays off, and she gets approval for the surgery. 1000-lb Best Friends co-star Meghan’s surgery went well. And she was able to recover and continue to lose weight.
