Chad Dean
Even as a child, Chad Dean was always a big kid.

This is how he piled on the pounds to reach his current weight of 700 pounds. He noticed something was awry when he couldn’t drive due to his weight. During his stint on the show, he shed 260 pounds. After a lot of hard work and two skin removal surgery, he was down to 300 pounds. Instead of consuming fast food, he’s back behind the wheel of a truck, preparing his meals.
