Erica Wall went on an incredibly difficult weight loss journey on My 600-Lb Life, and she has shared how much her life has changed since the show.

Summary

• Erica Wall from My 600-Lb Life has made progress in her weight loss journey, losing over half her body weight and keeping it off.
• Erica's relationship status with her ex-boyfriend Jimmy is unclear, but there are hints that they may still be together.
• Erica has been keeping a low profile on social media, but fans hope she is continuing to fight for herself and find happiness.

Erica Wall had a heartbreaking story on My 600-Lb Life season 5, but there are updates on how she's doing now. She appeared on the show in 2017, weighing in at 661 lbs. The 44-year-old from California had a tough upbringing and turned to food for comfort. Erica has been through a lot over the past several years, from weight loss to relationship drama.

Erica is the oldest of three kids, but she had a strained relationship with her brother and sister. Her siblings were frustrated that she was not initially putting in the effort to help herself get better, but that eventually changed on the show. Growing up, her father teased her for gaining weight, and she was sexually assaulted by several of her boyfriend's friends at a young age. She had her stomach stapled at 17 years old, but they didn't hold, and she gained the weight back. Erica's mother supported her throughout her life, but she tragically died after a car accident.

Erica Struggled To Lose Weight

Erica's rock bottom came from her inability to kiss her mom goodbye in the hospital because she was worried about pulling one of her tubes out. At the start of My 600-Lb Life, Erica described her life as miserable because she could not walk anywhere and had no independence. Her niece was the only family member she saw consistently, who enabled her food addiction by continuing to buy her junk food. Erica was committed to the journey, and though she had her setbacks, she lost over half her body weight and appears to have kept it off to this day.

Erica and Jimmy's Relationship Status Is Unclear

Erica has little social media presence after her My 600-Lb Life episode, as her most recent post was a cryptic message in 2020. The post mentions being desperately in love with someone even after you leave each other, which many viewers think is about her ex-boyfriend Jimmy. Erica has stayed away from the spotlight, leaving fans just to hope that she has continued fighting for herself and feeling happier than she was on the show.

One of her motivations for losing weight on My 600-Lb Life was getting back together with Jimmy, who wanted to help her get healthy. They moved to Houston together, but Erica revealed they later broke up over an argument about her bringing more stuff from her apartment to their new house. Erica was devastated by the breakup and again looked to food for comfort on My 600-Lb Life. Though they broke up, Erica still has her Facebook profile picture of her and Jimmy, leading to believe they could still be together.
