Finally saw it yesterday. They re-ran "Half-Ton Man" again, too.

It was mainly about the difficulties super-morbid obesity can cause. She had a BMI of 103. :eek4:
Though I have seen Half-Ton Man before, I didn't watch it again and I can't really remember what all it was about.

Obviously if you didn't watch half-ton man again and you forgot what it was about, it probably wasn't very interesting.

Whilst I have not seen the show about the woman I did see the man on T.V last year. My heart goes out to them. As someone super morbidly obese I can relate to them. It is difficult to live with that much weight to drag around. It really is amazing that us humans can get to that size.

I'm more curious about what the bodyfat percentage would be as compared to BMI. These people probably had about 100 to 125 lbs of muscle and the rest fat.
