Pauline Potter

It is important to note that Pauline Potter was already well-known prior to her appearance on the show, which makes her all the more remarkable. She was officially recognized as the world’s heaviest woman in 2011 by the Guinness Book of World Records. As a result of this, she was even profiled on an episode of Dr. Phil. She had been living in denial about the state of her body for some time before coming to terms with it. By the end of the season, she had lost 149 pounds. She lost an additional 300 pounds as a result of the treatment and is now eligible for skin graft removal surgery.

Chad Dean

Chad Dean was already a big kid when he was a kid. “Dean Machine” was a nickname he was given as a high school student. Rather than pursue his dream of becoming a chef, he began driving trucks across the country after suffering from a back injury. He grew to 700 pounds through this method. When he could not drive because of his weight, he realized something was wrong. He lost 260 pounds while on the show. He was able to reach his goal weight of 300 pounds after months of diet and exercise and two skin removal procedures. Instead of eating fast food, he is back behind the wheel of a truck and preparing his own meals.
