    Oh my, it said he had started over eating 9 months ago! I wonder what he weighed then? It's a sad story for sure.

    Sad
    They did a series on cable about him and his quest to lose weight and walk, or just be able to leave the room he lived in
    He was doing pretty good via the zone diet

    I just don't understand wanting to eat that much. How can you be that depressed. :biggrin_25512:

    I think that you have the dead guy confused with the other guy. The record winner is still alive.

    No, didn't see it, but read about him. I think he got married recently.
