Man Who Once Weighed 800lbs Loses Half His Body Weight in 1 Year

A man who was once house-bound due to his crippling 804lb weight, has lost 330lb in a single year.

Gregg Blanchard, from Manchester, New Hampshire, was so morbidly obese, he could not move without crutches, or even take a shower, completely dependent on the help of wife Ann.

Now, though, he has lost almost half of his former body weight, thanks to a new diet and exercise regime.

He told local news channel WMUR 9: 'I'm now 474 pounds. That's 330 pounds gone.'

Mr Blanchard's weight-loss journey first began in September 2011 after he appeared on the TV station for the first time. 'I looked at myself on TV, and I could not believe I was that big,' he said. 'You look at yourself, but when I watched it, it was like, "How did I get that size?"'
