I just was reading on ABC news about this guy (Be warned, his personal page has dozens of his photos as well as his food intake info, aim name, and so on..):

http://members.fotki.com/Manuribe/about/ (He even has an aim name: manuribe)

Who weighs just over 1300 pounds..Ok..I just dont understand. Im trying to keep an open mind but good lord, I didnt even think it was possible..

I've seen him. That's sad.

I don't see how someone can get that massive!

Geeeeez. Bleghh.


- on the computer picture it looks like his on CB.

how can you gain that much weight? does he have some disorder?

that's too bad.

He says its due to eating.. 20,000 calories *a day*... :/

why would he eat so much? that has to be some kind of disorder he has...who would eat that much?

Well, you would still need a certain amount of calories to live. A person with more weight would still have to eat more than someone of average weight.

Oh my god.... OKAY. I get 20,000 calories in a week and a half! A 1300 pound guy should not be sitting on his ass putting up pictures of himself "trying to exercise" on the web. I just don't sympathize in obese people. Don't you think maybe he'd stop eating so much at 400 pounds? 500? 600? And how did he get all the way up to 1300 before realizing he had a problem?

yea ive seen something similar to that
it was on the discovery channel or something .

omg...

I still dont understand what that thing is hanging off the bed next to his foot is :(

People his size have to eat that much to survive. I'm sure he's cut down though. I'm glad he's trying to get better. :]

If you're going to post here, don't be ignorant and say "OMG, EW". Because honestly, that's rude and not necessary. If you don't like this topic, then move onto the next one. Thank you.

one word: liposuction.


or maybe, here's another one: trimspa. he'll get money, cars... and anna nicole.

woah i'm surprised he didn't die yet from a heart attack, i hope he loses the weight in time :[

Very sad. But my friend says it makes him want to say what Stewie said in the fat men episode of family guy. "Find Your Penis for One Dollar."

Thats sad :-(

Oh my. But yes, I'm rather curious as to how he could have maintained such a steady growth O__o

I'm pretty sure it's his thigh....or possibly his knee



...

Well, you don't know that. Perhaps he realized that he had the problem before but couldn't do anything to stop it. Perhaps it's a disorder and he's just naturally...obese. And I'm pretty sure he didn't put the pictures on the internet himself, but had someone else do it for him. He is, after all on the news...

It looks like Elba in a fatsuit!


No I'm jk.
That's disgusting.

Jinkies. That's just sad. He reminds me of the mom is "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"

..

You know, sometimes it's a mental issue. People can't always control their mind, nor their apetite...

This is sad. Extreme obesity causes a lot of diseases.

Dont think his is a mental issue..

how can the bed hold him?

The people that commented on his fotki's so mean. :[

thats sad.Does he have disease such as heart disease?(because overweigh)

Holy shit. That's sooo sad.

alot of people commented his pics what i was thinking

at a certain point couldnt he say i need to stop?


but maybe its a disease? mentally and physically...

That's horrible. :

Ah, poor guy. Hopefully he can loose that weight, though it seems rather unlikely

He's gonna die.

i just can't believe it....i didn't know you could weigh so much.

i feel sorry for him. but if he brought this on him himself, then it's another story..

What a fat ass

i really don't feel sorry him.
and i'm mad at those people EFFING ENABLING him by buying him that chicken fast food...& at that quantity.

wow.

Some of the comments may be mean but they are also very true..

No, I didnt leave them.

i feel sory for him.

According to the blog he's trying to lose weight. That's good.

It is good but I dont understand why he didnt try a long time ago..

i'm happy he's trying to lose weight. it'll happen if he wants it that bad. =]

holy mother. how do you get that big? i didnt even know it was possible. it says hes trying to lose weight, but that will be very tough.

and how'd he find out he weighed tha much. scales dont even go that high.

^ Well I'd imagine there's some scale somewhere out there that does.

Yeah, that is pretty sad. I wonder why he never tried to stop.

I support him. Hopefully he'll find a way to lose the weight.

Unless reality is smacked at them, a person won't realize what he wants until time comes.

well.... that's new.
it's amazing that he hasn't died from a heart attack yet.
but from his blog, he sounds really optimistic about losing all the weight. it's such a sad story.

I was surprised he hasnt had a heart attack either.

o.o the link you showed me was an page not found, but the picture that suzette is showing... is that the guy in the picture for this topic? =O

hm..... is he like the biggest in the whole wide world? cause i remember hearing this fat lady ....she cant even get out of her house cause shes huge.... o.o i saw it in this korean video. or maybe shes dead o.o;;;;;;;;

Thats the same guy. His page works fine for me? But yes, hes the current heaviest person alive at 1300 pounds :/

Yes, thats what I said too lol
