In 2012 when Pauline Potter claimed the world title for Guinness’ heaviest woman, she weighed as much as a fully grown female polar bear.
After she was named the “world’s fattest woman,” the 61-year-old star of TLC’s My 600-lb Life made a shocking transformation, leaving fans gobsmacked over her new appearance.
Pauline Potter became a household name in 2011 when she earned the Guinness World Record for being the world’s heaviest woman, tipping the scales at over 700 pounds (320 kilograms).
At the time, the title was one that she and her ex-husband Alex held in high regard.
“Alex encouraged me to eat whatever I wanted. He would make huge meals of turkey and roast potatoes and pile it on my plate,” Potter said of the man she married on Valentine’s Day in 2003, less than one year after meeting him online. “Because he loved my size, I set a goal to reach [700 pounds], to make sure I was even bigger for him.”
