Answer:

Manuel Uribe Garza (born June 11, 1965) is a man from Monterry, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and was one of the heaviest people in medical history. After reaching a peak weight of around 570 kg (1,257 lb) and being unable to leave his bed since 2001, Uribe lost considerable weight with the help of doctors and nutritionists, and by following the zone diet.

Uribe drew worldwide attention when he appeared on the Televisa television network in January 2006, but turned down offers for gastric surgery in Italy.

In March 2007, Uribe set a goal to lower his weight to 120 kg (265 lb). Uribe has also been featured on "World's Heaviest Man", a television documentary about his bedridden life and attempts to lose weight.

By April 7th, 2008, Uribe had reduced his weight to 369 kg (814 pounds). By October 26, 2008, Uribe had reduced his weight to 360 kg (800 lb), and he continues to slowly lose weight.
