Pauline Potter didn’t just break records—she shattered them. In 2012, she was officially named the world’s heaviest living woman, weighing 50 stone (700 pounds). Her extreme diet, which included massive breakfasts of eggs, bacon, hash browns, and milkshakes, was part of a lifestyle embraced by the Supersize Big Beautiful Women movement.
But the physical toll became unbearable. Constant skin infections and reliance on others for basic care pushed her to seek change. She joined *My 600-lb Life*, where Dr. Nowzaradan guided her through a grueling weight loss plan. The journey wasn’t smooth—Pauline struggled with the diet, even regaining weight at one point.
Yet, her determination won out. After losing 300 pounds, she underwent surgery, and by 2023, her total weight loss exceeded 520 pounds. Dr. Now praised her progress, emphasizing that surgery was just a tool—real change came from her commitment.
Though Pauline has since retreated from the public eye, her story remains one of the most dramatic transformations in weight loss history.
