MEXICO CITY - When Manuel Uribe went out on a date, he made all the necessary arrangements: a forklift to carry him out of the house and a flatbed tow truck big enough to haul the formerly half-ton man and his bed to a party.
But even the open road wasn't big enough to handle Uribe's dream of celebrating a budding romance and his success in losing about 440 pounds.

Well, you got to give him some credit.
He lost 33% of his body weight in two years, and that is pretty damn good.

You're a glass-is-half-full sort of guy... I like that.
Very true though, losing 400lbs in two years is pretty remarkable. I'd weight -231lbs... hmmm.....
