Okay, I can maybe, possibly, remotely conceive of how someone could get to weigh that much.

But how the fuck are they married weighing that much?! :wtf:

Easy. He was overweight when he got married, but not as grossly. She loved him and stuck around when he begin to get out of control. It sounds like he has some emotional issues that are affecting his ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

In which case you start seeing someone when you get to 300-400 pounds, not wait until you're homebound and half a ton. :wtf: Seriously, if my SO ever let me get that far out of hand, I'd have some doubts with her connections to reality.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be about a guy who was divorcing his second fat wife ......

Wasn't there another person who weighed about this much? I remember hearing about him, and then his wife divorced him, he gained the weight back, and died.

Anyone remember the other guy?

There've been a number of people who've weighed this much or more, men and women. In every case they were unable to get up and feed themselves so someone else had to do it for them.

That guy, I don't recall - there is, however, a third guy that's in a similar situation. The Don & Mike Show did a few segments on him, as well as giving him a motivational challenge of ten bucks per pound he lost. Don't know what happened to himm, though.

Wierd thing is, from all I remember hearing, the guy was pretty healthy before he let himself go, being a major dancer of some sort, so it's not as if he had any serious problems that escalated.

I wonder if someone that fat can even have sex. He probably couldn't even glimpse his dick anymore.

I doubt he will even be able to move much to do anything with that weight.

I think the real question is: Would anyone want to have sex with someone that fat, out of fear of getting crushed?

I doubt anyone could glimpse it anymore. It was probably buried deep within his crotch fat, and any attempt to pleasure him would result in the pleasurer being sucked into that artificial vagina by their arm, never to be seen again. :D

i can't understand how someone could get that big! You literally need to do nothing but eat high fat foods all day long, how does someone afford this lifestyle when they are homebound?

I suspect some sort of genetic defect, if not several of them, probably ones which affect the metabolism and digestion.

The man should be applauded for having lost the weight he has already. Hope he continues on his plan!

Holy shit ! The guy lost almost 4 times my body weight.

Good luck to the guy though. I hope he manages to slim down to a healthy 240 pounds.

Indeed, he's a good example for others to follow - well, without almost dying before.

I didn't think it was possible for someone to weight that much. I mean, could this guy even stand on his own?

Edit: He lost five, almost six times my body weight.
