I just saw this on the BBC web site. i believe this gentleman weighs more than 1000 lbs but he has lost some and plans to lose more.

he has his own website too, but it's in Spanish, which I don't speak

Wow -- Here's a few more reports on him -- he's doing amazing!!!

There is an english version of his website, but I couldn't get it to open.

I couldn;t get to the English version either, I got an error 404, then when I clicked the suggested link I just got an empty page with his name.

Maybe it's under construction?
