Manuel Uribe Garza, formerly the world’s fattest man, has got married to her girlfriend who helped him lose more than 250kg over the past two years. The couple held their wedding ceremony in Monterrey, northern Mexico, on Sunday (Oct 26)…

Manuel tipped the scales at 560kg in 2006 and was named the world’s heaviest man by Guinness World Records. The 43-year-old has lost more than 250kg since then by following the Zone diet; he aims to further lower his weight to 120kg.

    That’s amazing, how he lost that much weight in just 2 year. Must have been very difficult. Best wishes to the newly weds.

    so he’s so fat that he can’t stand up?
    that’s pretty sad.
    hope he isn’t really unhealthy.
    his head looks normal, but body…….=P

    This should give some motivation to those people that are seriously obese… that it’s not too late to start losing weight, and that it can actually be done.

    For a minute I thought that was Jabba the Hutt sitting that bed.

    That was a cruel comment – you should be ashamed of yourselves!
    I wish Manuel and his new family the best of luck and a lot of success in his weightloss!
