Pauline Potter, who was recognized as the world’s heaviest living woman last year, has shared details about her weight loss journey. Potter, who at one point weighed 643 pounds, has lost over 300 pounds and attributes her progress in part to changes in her lifestyle.
Potter has been working on making her lifestyle changes for a better life. She described the lifestyle change as “great exercise” for her and her partner.
She described how her reignited lifestyle changes with ex-husband Alex have helped her lose 300 pounds.
She said, “I can’t move much, but I burn a lot of energy from it.”
Pauline Potter, once known as the world’s heaviest living woman according to the Guinness World Records, has undergone a remarkable transformation. She first gained attention on My 600-lb Life, where she shared her struggles with extreme obesity, mobility issues, and emotional eating.
At her peak weight, she weighed around 677 pounds (307 kg), facing severe health risks.
Determined to reclaim her life, Pauline sought help from Dr. Nowzaradan, who put her on a strict diet and later approved her for gastric bypass surgery. She struggled with adherence at times but eventually committed to healthier habits, including portion control and physical activity.
Her hard work paid off as she lost over 300 pounds, drastically improving her mobility, self-confidence, and quality of life. Her transformation has been an inspiration to many battling obesity, proving that change is possible with persistence and the right support system.
