What Shannon From My 600-Lb. Life Looks Like Today

While filming her episode, Shannon made plans to move to Houston, Texas, where Dr. Nowzaradan is based. Unfortunately, that plan didn't end up working out. In February 2021, she updated her Facebook page explaining that the move wasn't happening, and that she felt a little lost.

"I dont know what im going to do. I need to move to houston texas so I can get surgery to save my life. But every thing i find in the way of a apartment or house i cant afford. Im one income and have no one eles to come with me."

Fans who saw Shannon's 600-Lb. Life episode likely recall her husband, Simon Johnson, who worried that he wouldn't be attracted to her if she lost the weight. While Soap Dirt writes that Johnson has been supportive of his wife, saying, "It's great that they support each other with what they want to do in life," it's curious that Lowery says she is alone at this point in her journey.

In another public Facebook post, Lowery shared photos from a March 12, 2021, workout, which shows she's still serious about making her fitness goals happen. She also regularly shares her meals for the day, and seems highly motivated to focus on workouts and a balanced diet.
