It took a decade to do it, but Jeannette lost between 800 and 850 pounds through healthy eating combined with a liquid diet. At her heaviest, Standard said she weighed nearly 1,200 pounds. Walker said he charted her weight in 1997 at 600 pounds.

So, it's just her word that she once weighed double what the doctor has recorded? I don't believe it. She has a 110 pound "apron" of excess skin removed surgically, bringing her to 435 pounds? That means she was 545 pounds before the operation - just 55 pounds less than she was 5 years ago when she was weighed, and she claims she lost 600 other pounds in the previous 5 years. Unfreakingbelieveable. Reporters will believe anything.

Doctors do not have weight scales that go up to 1,200 lbs. Besides, at that weight, she couldn't get herself out of the house to go to a doctor (and they sure don't make housecalls).
