Mexican Man Sheds 550 Pounds; Seeks Guinness Record for Most Weight Lost

Atlanta, GA 6/11/2008 11:28:54 PM

 

Last month, a Mexican man once known as the world’s heaviest man announced he has lost more than 500 pounds and was attempting to set a new Guinness world record – this one for most weight lost.

 

Manuel Uribe of Monterrey, Mexico, who once weighed 1,235 pounds, hopes to have confirmation next month from the Guinness Book of World Records that he now holds a new title.

 

Uribe has also added a new goal to his weight-loss plans – he wants to be able to stand up for his wedding in the coming year. Uribe, who celebrates his 43rd birthday Wednesday, says his birthday wish is simple – to be able to stand on his own when he marries girlfriend Claudia Solis.

 

A former auto parts dealer who has been confined to his steel-reinforced bed for more than six years, Uribe blames his condition on too much junk food and a botched liposuction that damaged his lymph nodes and left him with 200-pound tumors on his legs.
