Years ago, reality TV viewers were introduced to Whitney Way Thore, a dancer whose journey with PCOS led to staggering weight gain and a whole new perspective on life. The series followed the ups and downs of Whitney Way Thore's life as she navigated relationships, work, and friendships (including fan-favorite Buddy, her close pal).

Ultimately, Whitney's very public self-love journey drew in so many viewers that the series was renewed over multiple seasons, spanning multiple years. Though Whitney's not one of Discovery's most popular stars, she has developed an impressive following.

Now, with Whitney having completed nearly 100 episodes of her reality series, bringing fans along for the ride of her life, everyone's wondering where she's at now and whether My Big Fat Fabulous Life will continue.

How Old Is My Big Fat Fabulous Life?

The first episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life premiered in 2015, and Whitney Way Thore had her share of both fans and critics. But it quickly became clear that viewers were invested in Whitney's life, and so the series was repeatedly picked up again and again for renewal.

To date, the series has completed nine full seasons, with almost a hundred episodes aired.

Fans were able to watch Whitney's journey toward loving her new body while also getting out of her comfort zone. She kept dancing, kept getting 'out there,' and of course, had a few relationship milestones, including both heartwarming moments and on-screen breakups.

How Much Does Whitney Weigh On My Big Fat Fabulous Life?

Some fans on social media speculated that Whitney may not be returning for another season of her series because she's lost weight. In February 2022, Whitney addressed many of her followers' comments about her life and future on reality TV, and she states they are totally wrong.

In fact, Whitney noted that she "lost 70 lbs. 3 years ago" and hasn't changed sizes since, though that initial change did overhaul her look. Thus, the series continued despite her weight fluctuations — and the show itself isn't based on Whitney maintaining a set amount of weight at all.

Of course, Wikipedia notes that Whitney began the series at 380 pounds. But because the series isn't necessarily about her weight loss journey, there are plenty of other themes that entice fans to stick around over the years — like the many relationship dramas Whitney has been through, and all in the public eye.

Will There Be Another Season Of My Big Fat Fabulous Life?

It turns out that after a seven-year run, Whitney Way Thore isn't done with reality TV just yet. Her series My Big Fat Fabulous Life is embarking on a tenth season in early August 2022. The show will be available on various platforms (though it "lives" on Discovery+), and fans can also recap the first nine seasons to get up to speed on Whitney's life since as far back as 2015.

And while fans can catch season 10 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, they can also keep up with Whitney on her social media, where she definitely shares many fabulous moments. Of course, some fans do speculate that she keeps certain details under wraps; such as a potential split from her most recent beau.

In terms of whether Discovery+ will renew the show after its tenth season wraps, who knows! But if Whitney has anything to say about it, clearly she's still invested in continuing the series. In fact, she seemed almost offended at commenters who thought the series was going to fade out.

What Is Whitney Way Thore Doing Now?

Since the last season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney has kept busy. She's shared her endeavors on Instagram, and while recently she did deal with some family worries over her mom's health, she's also had a lot of positives going on.

For one thing, Whitney offers a fitness program to her followers, which clearly keeps her busy. But at the last report (in February 2022) she was still in a happy relationship with her "Frenchman," and wasn't thrilled with some of fans' assumptions about her personal life, relationships or otherwise.

Fortunately, the upcoming season of her show should offer plenty of opportunities to clear up misconceptions about what she's been up to, even if that means a big reveal that she's single once again.
