It just gets better and better!
MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) – A Mexican man who once weighed half a tonne left his house for the first time in five years on Wednesday after losing 440 pounds (200 kg) through diet and exercise.
A crane (Yes you read it correctly) lifted Manuel Uribe, 40, off the sidewalk and onto a lorry after friends and family (and none of the local salad producers) heaved him from the house still sitting on his bed.
“It feels pretty beautiful, after five years without leaving here,” Uribe told reporters outside the house, where he was greeted by a band of “mariachi” musicians before setting off on a tour of Monterrey, Mexico.
Uribe, who is still unable to walk, said he shed 440 pounds (200 kg) by following “The Zone,” a diet which aims to balance hormones through carbohydrate and protein intake. For exercise, he used harnesses to help him lift weights.
Until age 22, Uribe weighed 290 pounds (132 kg) . But by May 2006, Uribe had ballooned to 1,200 pounds (550 kg). At that time, doctors said his cholesterol and blood-sugar levels were normal, despite his obesity.
Last year, he planned a trip to Italy to undergo an intestinal bypass operation (is that like a labotomy?) but now says surgery is unnecessary.
“I am losing weight every day and I don’t feel that I’m so desperate that I need an operation,” he said.
Uribe said he would like to set up a foundation promoting exercise and a balanced diet to help overweight people………
Alternately they could ”just” shove less in their cakehole?

Like i said give me my money back that i have paid into National Insurance Contributions and i’ll go private, there that should make you all happy!!!!!!!!! What a happy exsistance you must all lead in your perfect little worlds, and how nice that you are all sooooooooo judgemental! :P
Even saying that she is a “poor poor soul who needs help, counselling and any other help than can be given” IS a “judgement, basically ANY opinion on any matter whether good or bad subjectively is a “judgement”, even when the word is used to imply someone isnt nice for not having a touchy feeling victim pandering demeanour is being judgmental
Infact the ONLY people who arent judgemental are the lobotomised folks who shit themselves and have no opinion, view or preference on anything
But the REALLY judgemental people, the ones who cant even be self aware enough to admit they are judgemental even to themselves are the ones who selectively apply the word to any and all views that dont completely correspond with their own labouring under the delusion that theirs is somehow univerally right and everyone elses is “judgemental” IE wrong
So, did you realise YOU were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO judgemental? Or did you conveniently choose to completely miss that rather glaringly obvious fact chick?
Just curious like :wink:

BB if you read the article, this woman has been offered help and refused it. She was put up at the priory at great cost(I couldnt afford to stay there) but after funding was withdrawn, she reverted back to her bad eating habits. Her husband freely admits giving her takeaways and cooking her fry ups. Basically, she wants everyone else to do everything for her, whilst doing nothing to help herself atall. What happens if she is given the surgery on the NHS and still continues to gorge herself on takeaways etc after surgery, at huge cost to the NHS? Will she expect them to step in and help her out again? Or will she do what the rest of us do when we are overweight. Go on a diet and dont eat takeaways, fry ups, crisps, pizzas or biscuits. People have to try and help themselves sometimes BB. You cant, go through life expecting the whole world and his wife to do everything for you.
Speaking of lardasses – This is one here[/b][/color][/quote]
Has this mammal been discovered and scientifically named yet? It looks very different from all the sea creatures I’ve seen on Mr Attenborough’s shows :lol:
:oops: :wink:
I think its the blowhole of the very rare macdonaldsbilledfattyass
And what family of great ocean creatures has that evolved from then? Is it the feminine version of Moby Dick? :wink:
Its an offshoot of the species cellilituswobblyguttipus, normally found on the shores of fast food outlets the world over
My APOLS people, just a little fed up at people having a pop at us fatties who DO actually try and do something about the weight issue, as for the NHS my doc wont send me for surgery or to a flippin clinic maybe her doc needs a kick up the jacksy.
Some doctors just try passing the buck, and then theres her hubby………………..least said now…….why do some fat people give us all a really bad name.
Guess ill pick up where i left off with the 4 stone i lost already, only another 10 to go :oops:
:oops: :oops:Again sorry for sounding off :?
BB we all have our own opinions so dont apologise for having your own.
There are plenty out there who can relate to the poor woman,but some people cant be helped if they dont wanna be,unfortunately.
