Since the show, Diane’s life has changed completely. She has a two-year-old son, has moved to a different town and is in a happy relationship.

While filming X-Weighted, Diane dated and broke up with Ken. After filming the pair reconciled and started a life together. They had a baby, Aaron, and moved to Elkford, BC, which is the small town that Diane grew up in (and where a lot of her family lives). “Ken works in the mines and I’m a stay-at-home mom, I’m living my dream,” she says.

On the show, Diane went to see a matchmaker who basically told her that there was no chance she would meet a man and have babies. “That matchmaker was an old cow, she was just so unrealistic,” says Diane.

Since the show, Diane has had a few health issues, including a recent diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, and was put on various medications that affected her weight. “I put on 27 pounds, but now my medications are sorted out I’ve started losing the weight. I’ve already dropped 24 pounds, through not pigging out and teaching boot-camp classes,” she says.

When Diane moved home to Elkford, she says that everybody had seen the show and wanted to talk to her about it. Diane says that going on the show was a really fun experience, “it's a fun story to tell everybody,” she says.
