My Big Fat Fabulous Life is an American reality television series that premiered on January 13, 2015. The series chronicles the life of Whitney Way Thore, a woman who weighed 380 pounds (170 kg) at the beginning of the series (which is partially attributed to polycystic ovary syndrome).[1][2] Thore became popular when her former radio station's morning show, Jared and Katie in the Morning on 107.5 KZL, in Greensboro, North Carolina, came up with and posted "107.5 KZL's Fat Girl Dancing" videos,[3] with more than eight million views on YouTube.[4]
