A 36-year-old Egyptian woman, believed to be the fattest female in the world, has reached 500 kgs weight, according to media reports.
Imran Ahmad Abdulati, who is Alexandria in northern Egypt, has not left her home for 25 years - since she was 11-years-old - because of her weight problem.
After years of desperate attempts to deal with the issue, her sister Chaymaa' Ahmad Abdulati has now gone public with the problem in the hope of getting help, the media report said.

Miserable, yes. But strangely, if she’s been this way for so long - more or less since childhood - she’s probably adapted to it. Her problems will come when she gets help and has to re-adapt to a different life.
The body is more adaptable than the mind.
Prayers for her.
IIRC, the poor guy that used to be shown in the old Ripley's ads ("1000+ lbs., buried in a piano crate...") was a case where a pituitary tumor started him down that path an an early age.
Oh I’m so big and I’m so fat
The boys they tell me they like it like that
My actual weight I cannot tell
But I’m 6.2 on the Richter scale.
Her family says she suffered a stroke at age 11 that left her bedridden. I was on complete bedrest for 6 weeks and I swear I could feel my muscles atrophying. Sounds like they never got physical therapy for her, add in her elephantiasis and fluid retention and she’s trapped in a miserable cycle.
Exactly.
Probably not humanly possible for anyone to actually consume enough food everyday to get to and maintain that weight.
There’s always hope. Now the issue has international attention.
Her family obviously love her, and want to help her.
Yes. Literally and figuratively.
I am in my 16th year of a 30-day weight reduction program.
>>Would Bill Clinton hit it?
Does it have a pulse?
Soon to be featured on a “Her husband couldn’t believe the transformation” clickbait ad.
There has to be a pit tumor or something.

ROFL!
I had a head injury about 11 years ago. Was maybe 230ish at the time.
Home 6 years before doing odd jobs and finally 2 years ago full time work overnight.
My max was 430 pounds. I’m fighting now in the low 300s
I am embarrassed but depression, pain and boredom can make you really stuff your face.
I KNOW I could have gotten to 6 or 700 easily if I didn’t stop.
I’m 48 and need take make a beeline for at LEAST 250 or i’m in a lot of trouble!!!
So I dont know about this woman’s case, but it is possible just from eating.
ROFL!!!! You mother ####er!! ROFL!!!!!!
And if she switched to low-fat yogurt, then she could start planning on a bus trip to the sea.
If you have lost 100 lbs., that’s quite an accomplishment! You can certainly lose the rest. Good luck!
I don’t know what kind of diet you are using, but we currently have a low-carb cooking thread going:

I saw a documentary on one of these unfortunates. The skinny little husband had to hose her down next to the tub. Only way to get the private parts. Now if she can’t get to the tub, she must have a crew.
