Today, TLC announced the newest addition to the fan-favorite 1000-LB franchise with 1000-LB ROOMIES, a bold, unfiltered, and heart-filled new series that proves friendship really is the best medicine. Join Jasmine aka “Jaz” and Nesha, two vibrant personalities who went from online strangers to inseparable friends and roommates, as they embark on a mission to reclaim their health. Don’t miss the premiere of 1000-LB ROOMIES on Tuesday, June 10 @ 10PM ET/PT on TLC.
Self-proclaimed ‘extra’ in every way, Jaz and Nesha are each other’s ride-or-die and co-conspirators in laughter, snacks, and survival. But when Jaz’ doctor gives her the shocking news that her life is at risk if she doesn’t lose weight soon, the duo realizes that it’s time to turn over a new leaf and kickstart their wellness journey. Jaz doesn’t want to leave her daughter without a mother, so she commits to losing almost 200 lbs. Nesha, still not sold on surgery, isn’t quite ready to jump on board. As roles shift and tensions rise, the pair must navigate new boundaries, old habits, and the weight of what’s at stake. The decision to change their lives and embark on this endeavor will test their commitment, willpower, and unbreakable bond in unimaginable ways, but through it all, they will always have each other’s backs.
“1000-LB ROOMIES is a perfect addition to TLC’s lineup, as we continue to showcase incredible transformational journeys and celebrate big, lovable personalities who wear their hearts on their sleeves and open up in authentic and vulnerable ways,” said Alon Orstein, Senior Vice President of Production and Development for TLC. “We can’t wait for our audience to get to know Jaz and Nesha. Their infectious energy brings emotion, laughter and fun, along with an incredible determination to change their lives, no matter the odds.”
