Donald Shelton
Donald Shelton’s revelation that if it weren’t for his parents, he would be absolutely powerless was sad. Because he weighed 678 pounds, he could barely walk. He reduced 300 pounds after gastric bypass surgery, but his struggles were far from done. After a terrible fall, he was taken to the hospital and put into a coma. Doctors realized he had Guillain-Barre syndrome! As a result, his weight fluctuated, but he maintained his fitness by focusing on the goal.
Chuck Turner
Chuck Turner weighed around 700 pounds when he joined the show for its second season. His wife took care of him and their son. She later said that she sometimes felt like she was his servant, prompting him to make a lifestyle change. He admitted that the murder of his first wife was the cause of his weight gain. He got physical and emotional help, which helped him reduce over two-thirds of his body weight! He’s presently weighing around 260 pounds. Nice.
