Starting on June 3, viewers will get to witness the BFFs—who weighed nearly a combined 1,000 pounds at the beginning of their wellness journeys—embark on a serious weight loss mission in Riverside, Calif. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 "What inspired me was hearing my doctor tell me that I wouldn't be around much longer," Jaz, 41, exclusively told Parade. "And it scared me because of my daughter. I have a 10-year-old daughter, and my daughter has autism. And nobody's going to love your child like you." Ultimately, Jaz said her goal is to be active and able to travel with her daughter, Nana. "I want to be able to take her to Disney World. That's my ultimate goal. And to be able to walk around and ride the rides with her." Jaz qualified for and underwent weight loss surgery as a tool to help with her progress. "It's definitely going to be a lot being shared this season," she explained. "A lot of emotion, a lot of happiness. Currently, I'm dealing with mobility issues. But it's getting better." Meanwhile, Nesha, 37, has opted not to have the gastric bypass procedure. "For me, I'm taking the natural route," she told Parade. "I'm terrified of surgery." Nesha continued, "For me, it's just more about, like, adapting more of a lifestyle change than a diet. And just taking those baby steps to, like, you know, like, stop drinking soda and stop drinking too much sugar and no more fried foods." So, what else can viewers expect from Season 1 of 1000-Lb Roomies? "It's definitely a lot of silliness," Jaz said, adding with a completely deadpan expression, "And Nesha tried to kill me." She elaborated, "Nesha tried to push me in a wheelchair and almost made me fall out." After laughing, Nesha defended herself, explaining, "Listen, I thought I was stronger than I am, OK? I had like this false sense of confidence, and it just didn't work out for me. "I almost died," Jaz insisted. During their chat with Parade, Jaz and Nesha also touched on their reality TV experience—specifically as Black women sharing their stories. "I'm super grateful for TLC to even like think about us, really, because not everybody gets the opportunity to have such a large platform to share their story," Nesha said. "It's kind of a catch-22 thing, because it's like, yeah, everybody's in my business," she continued. "But at the same time, I feel like both of our stories are very powerful, and they can help someone." "It also adds to the fact that we're Black women," Jaz added. "TLC's giving us that chance. And us being able to, you know, show like how strong we are." "I think that's one of the biggest feedback that we get, is that, 'Oh, you guys are Black,'" Nesha shared. "But everybody is kind of shocked and excited at the same time that we got a little chocolate in the sea." Through it all, the besties have supported each other every step of the way. Jaz explained, "Whatever it is that I'm going through, whether it's a high or a low, Nesha's there to back me up each time."

TLC divides fans as it announces ANOTHER 1000-Lbs spin-off
TLC has divided fans as it announced another 1000-Lb. spin-off. The network has added 1000-Lb. Roomies to its line-up and introduced the show and its stars, Jaz and Nesha, in a new trailer released Thursday. Viewers are introduced to Jaz and Nesha, two roommates struggling with their weight and their conflicting approaches to dropping the pounds. While Jaz is determined to lose the weight for the sake of her daughter - even considering surgery and admitting to using a weight loss shot - Nesha has a more cautious approach to the issue. The show is the latest 1000-Lb spin-off from TLC. 1000-Lb Sisters, which stars Amy Slaton-Halterman and Tammy Slaton, debuted on the network in 2020 and returned for a fifth season last month. A spin-off, 1000-Lb Best Friends, followed in 2020. The latest show about Jaz and Nesha sparked mixed reactions in the comments section of the Instagram post unveiling the trailer, with several burnt out by the topic and others excited, with one declaring them the 'new Tammy and Amy.' 'I'm so over this era of TLC,' one posted. 'Did we need another show like this TLC?' another wrote. 'That's it dammit, TLC it's time to stop the madness now,' another wrote. 'Tlc will literally make a show about anything it's ridiculously dumb,' one posted. 'I'm officially boycotting the show,' another wrote. 'I'll be watching! I love these shows!' another posted. But there was also plenty of anticipation for this new addition: 'I'm giving them a chance and they are actually pretty Asab,' one wrote. 'Another one??? Damn first 1000lb sisters then 1000lb friends now this?? Lowkey wanna watch it tho,' one wrote. 'The new Tammy and Amy,' another wrote. 'Seated,' one proclaimed. The new show debuts June 10 on TLC at 10pmET/PT and the trailer teased all the fun and drama awaiting fans. 'We're both a little extra. Merely 1,000 pounds extra,' Nesha says. Jaz admits they have both 'tried so many things' to drop the pounds, with Nesha shown preparing them a drink made out of sea moss - which they both reject in disgust. Series about losing the weight, Jaz considers undergoing surgery 'But now, it's time to get busy,' Jaz says. Now serious about dropping the pounds for the sake of her daughter, she visits a doctor about undergoing weight loss surgery. 'I'm all my daughter has. I have to be here for her,' she tells her doctor. The stakes are high, with the doctor telling the camera: 'If Jasmine doesn't undergo the surgery, most likely she will not survive for long.' However, Jaz is fearful of going under the knife: 'Surgery is something that like scares the f**k out of me,' she says. Complicating matters are the fact for Jaz is that she and her roommate are not on the same page when it comes to their weight loss goals. 'It would be easier if you were doing this with me,' Jaz tells Nesha. However Nesha admits: 'I want to lose weight but that doesn't mean I have to be stuck on a scale all the time.' The methods Jaz has taken to lose the weight include a 'weight loss shot' however she does not specify which one. 'I've been taking the weight loss shot,' Jaz tells family, who express their reservations. 'I don't like that shot,' one of her family members says. Jaz's weight loss concerns Nesha with her roommate now admitting to being in a lot of pain. 'I'm in pain,' Jaz says, clarifying she felt the pain 'everywhere.' 'Yeah she's losing the weight, but at what cost?' Nesha postulates in a confessional. At one point, Jaz seemingly suffering a medical emergency as she is taken away by an ambulance. She breaks down while speaking with Nesha from her hospital bed via Facetime. 'Nesha, I'm scared. What if I'm never gonna be able to walk again?' Cameras also capture the dramatic moment she is wheeled into surgery. Jaz appears anxious tapping her finger before undergoing an unknown procedure. 'I don't know what happened to her but I know that it's a wake-up call,' a tearful Nesha says.
