Donald Shelton – 678 Pounds
Donald Shelton broke the hearts of millions of viewers when he admitted to My 600-Lb Life that he could not do anything without the help of his parents, able to walk at his 678 pounds. After he received gastric bypass surgery, he lost 300 pounds and thought this would be the end of his worries. Into a coma, after he had a bad fall and a stay at the hospital, doctors learned he was suffering from Guillain-Barre syndrome. And that led to the increase of his weight, but he has had his eyes on the goal and has been working hard on staying fit and in shape.
Chuck Turner – 700 Pounds
In the program’s sophomore season, we met an almost 700 pound Chuck Turner, who was unable to function without the help of his wife, who also looked after their son. His significant transformation was motivated because his wife admitted that she at times felt like his servant. Her murder set him back, and he gained even more weight, but with plenty of emotional and physical help, he was able to get back on track. He now weighs around 260 pounds.
