Have yall ever seen a 600+ pound person? If so, what did it look like?

The biggest I seen was probably 500. I saw it at Walmart and took a picture of it on my old phone. It was in a motorized scooter, but not one from the store (its own scooter, much more heavy duty).

The biggest I’ve ever seen was the troll who started this thread. Trolls are as big as they get.

Yes, I've encountered individuals over 600 pounds. Each person is unique, but some may require assistance with mobility and daily tasks.

Yes I went to a PRO Wrestling show and saw Haystacks Calhoun

"it"?

How can mods stand by and do nothing about threads whose entire purpose is to ridicule morbidly obese people using animal pronouns?

”No reason” to delete?

When they’re that heavy, it looks completely androgynous

What are you going on about? What

In my early twenties I worked PT at a pizza place and the store manager was somewhere in that weight range. He walked pretty slowly most of the time, as you’d imagine, and his belly often showing under his shirt was off putting if you weren’t accustomed to it. He was almost always drinking a sugary soda and often snacking on some crap like gummy worms, and of course he ate a lot of pizza.

He could move well enough in the small kitchen and be really helpful when things got busy. He was extremely smart and one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. I often had fun working with him and the entire mood of the place was better when he was there.

We had similar tastes in music and he introduced me to Tom Waits, who I became fanatical about for a couple years and still consider a personal favorite. I started buying weed from him, and would hang out at his apartment taking bong hits and watching old Tom Waits live shows on YouTube or Trailer Park Boys or whatever. He had a couple of cats that were obese as well.

The last time I saw him he’d had a health scare and was making some effort to shape up, doing a lot of swimming and trying to improve his diet, though I’m not sure how well it was working. He’d also enrolled at the community college because he knew he was too smart to be a pizza store manager his whole life. A year or so later, or a few years ago now, I heard he had died. He was 40 years old. I really liked that guy, and he had a lot of great qualities, though obviously he was troubled.

True

Completely androgynous?

You will go insane trying to understand mods’ thinking. They leave posts like this and flagrantly racist posts up, yet harmless factual ones (cough cough posts that make right wingers look stupid) get taken down

My uncle had a severe endocrine issue that caused him to gain weight rapidly, and by the time he was 400 pounds, he could hardly walk. He also suffered from severe narcolepsy and sleep apnea. By the time he was 500 pounds, he was immobile. He crossed 600 pounds shortly before his death at 54. His life was lonely, miserable and sad, and it makes me sick that you think it's funny to treat people who often have a major physical reason to have reached that weight.

Dehumanizing someone who has a health condition is how people like you were okay with exterminating the mentally ill during the Holocaust. You're use of 'it' to refer to them is absolutely sickening. Something tells me you're a sad and miserable human being, with nothing better to do than come on a running forum and post things like this. Go outside and get a life, and maybe you'll find a way to develop empathy.

What do you mean “posts like this”?

Weight is just a number, and can't be "healthy" or "unhealthy." A person can be 600 pounds and healthy just as a person can be 160 pounds and unhealthy.

I don’t know about that. If it weighs 600+ pounds, I doubt it can be healthy. Its organs are probably screaming for mercy.

But I agree a 160 pound person can be unhealthy if the person doesn’t exercise or has a bad diet.
