World’s Fattest Man Lost 397 Pounds
Manuel Uribe, who once weighed half a ton, left his house on wednesday for the first time in five years. Six people help to push Uribe’s wheel-quipped iron bed out to the street where a mariachi band played and a crowd gathered to see theman who once weiged 1235 pounds. He has lost 397 pounds since he began a high-protein diet a year ago. Now he weighs 840 pounds. Doctors say it may take three to four years for Uribe to reach his goal which is to leave the house on his own.
