Charity Pierce first won hearts back in 2015 on Season 3 of My 600-lb Life, weighing 778 pounds and determined to lose weight so she could visit her sick mother. Thanks to bariatric surgery and several skin removal procedures, she went on to lose an incredible 540 pounds — a powerful example of grit and perseverance.

Her journey wasn’t without setbacks. Charity battled serious infections, struggled with complications from pain medications, and endured deep emotional pain when her fiancé betrayed her by cheating with her own sister. But through it all, she kept going.

Her daughter Charly joined her on the weight-loss journey under Dr. Now’s care and found her own success. Charly later started a family, giving Charity even more reason to keep pushing forward.

In 2020, Charity faced a new and terrifying challenge — kidney cancer. She underwent surgery to remove one of her kidneys and stayed focused on her health. Though she doesn’t post often, her 2023 updates on Facebook showed a woman full of strength and positivity, still surrounded by a community that believes in her.

“I’ve come too far to give up now,” she once wrote — a message that continues to resonate with many.

Now in 2024, Charity is embracing a new chapter. She’s spending precious time with Charly and her grandkids, proving that real transformation goes far beyond weight — it’s about healing, hope, and living life to the fullest.
