700lb BBW to 465lb Proud Mum | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

WHEREAS she once drank 3,500 calorie milkshakes through a funnel to intentionally gain weight, new mum Monica Riley has now swapped funnel feeds for bottle feeds. Dining out on up to 10,000 calories a day, Monica Riley, 29, of Fort Worth, Texas, dreamed of being the fattest woman in the world and of being “immobile”. She ballooned to over 700lbs and set her sights on becoming so large that she would be bedbound, but the 29-year-old decided to change her life – and her body – after discovering she was pregnant in March 2017. Determined to ensure a healthy pregnancy after two previous miscarriages, Monica dropped to 520lbs through healthy eating and gentle exercise, and gave birth to baby Michelle in October 2017 by C-section. Though Michelle initially had trouble breathing and had to be kept in hospital for observation for six weeks due to reflex and four small holes in her heart, she is now back home with her besotted parents, and Monica is now planning gastric bypass surgery in a bid to lose even more weight.

That precious little nugget of innocence saved this ladies life.

[isismolina]

I’m so happy she’s doing so much better. That baby is adorable.

[jillianm]

I’m so glad she’s taking her health seriously. She has a lot left to lose but she has already made SUCH amazing progress. Good job mama! I hope that baby gets taught by her mom that healthy eating is extremely important.

[TaylorXo]

Thats amazing she was even able to get pregnant at 700+ pounds. She should be very greatful, I'm sure god sent her that baby to save her life.

[kenny]

When she said Michelle saved her life, my whole heart melted!

[NWednesdayQuansah]

This woman lost 200 pounds with no surgery in like a year while pregnant! Like, the discipline and will power that it takes to do something like that is unbelievable!

[kecola]

I'm so glad she came to her senses. Congrats to her for the baby and the weight loss!

[ToxicRedRose]

I kinda want updates on how she's doing :O

[pennypay]

What a lovely little girl. I know from previous videos that Monica wanted to have a child, but miscarried two or three times. Being immobile would have destroyed her body AND mind: staring at the same four walls, having a bed and regime designed for a chronically sick person, and having a messed-up dynamic to the relationship with Sid. Now she has a family to live for. She's lost over 200 lbs. in about a year; that is incredible progress. I'm very happy for Monica.

[Magicbaby]

She’s lost around 235 pounds, that’s awesome

[itsRockyTV]

Everyone needs something to live for.. I'm happy she found it.

[purpleangelwings]

When we have children its not about us anymore its about the child....she deserves you to be at your best ....healthy and vibrant ....glad you have decided to change .... Congrats !!!!

[MeMommyEms]

Motherhood changed her views and that’s amazing! 👍🏻😁😘

[mayogargler]

She's changed completely. Her attitude, her innocence, her happiness, her will to live, her motivation, just everything. It's... Wonderful

[fairywhore]

I was highly critical of this woman's original choice but I can't express how pleased and happy I am she made the right one in the end, tearing up a little tbh. Probably abit because I'm losing weight now to prepare for pregnancy.
Well done!

[mualumombutshi]

Queens are not immobile-- just look at a chess game: the queen is the most active piece in the whole game! However, congrats on the weight loss and keep it up! :)

[crystaltheo]

Who would want to be immobile though. How awful.

[ayuubali]

"she looks like a little potato"
wow! the diet really be getting to her 😂

[chrismottob]

I guess she´s the only woman who lost weight during pregnancy!! ;-)

[squeakybeak]

The only part of this that makes me sad is when Michelle is older and finds the funnel video. Stay away from TRULY, older Michelle! Away!
