Pauline Potter, once known as the world’s heaviest woman at 678 pounds, stunned many with her extreme eating habits—starting her days with six scrambled eggs, half a pound of bacon, four hash browns, six slices of buttered bread, and an ice cream milkshake. Her story gained national attention when she appeared on Season 3 of My 600-Lb. Life in 2015.
Living under the care of her son Dillon, Pauline faced severe health challenges and limited mobility. Although she underwent gastric bypass surgery, her recovery was complicated by a struggle with painkiller addiction. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted, “The doctor fixed our stomachs, but he didn’t fix our minds.”
After surviving a life-threatening infection and undergoing additional surgery, Pauline made a serious commitment to her health. Her determination paid off—she lost over 500 pounds. By 2022, she proudly shared she had reached 223 pounds and reclaimed her independence.
Today, Pauline exudes confidence and appears healthier than ever. Her transformation continues to inspire countless fans, with messages of encouragement regularly lighting up her social media.
