Techotic

I don’t know which is worse. You remember the guy who holds the record as being the heaviest man alive (at that time he weighed over half a ton). Well on his second outing in five months from his home he was taken by a forklift. The guy went to a Monterrey beach (yes he is Mexican) where he snacked on fish and vegetables and talked with local fishermen.

But he is working on his eight and last time he released his weight it was 700 pounds. Down from over 1200 a just a few years ago.

Once considered the world’s fattest man when his weight hit over half a ton, more than two years of steady dieting had helped Uribe drop to about 700 pounds as of June — 550 pounds less than his former Guinness record weight of 1,235 pounds. He did not say what his current weight is.
