The late Rosalie Bradford is thought to have been the heaviest woman ever and also the woman who lost the most weight.
Her actual peak weight is a matter of some dispute but probably was roughly 1,200 pounds.
She once brought suit for a writer's comments that likened her weight to that of a baby elephant or a small automobile.
Bradford was always heavy but before passing the 500-pound mark, married and had a son.
Eventually, her weight was such that she could hardly move. She finally convinced herself that she would have to shed some weight and went on a diet by which she lost around 700 pounds.
Bradford died at age 63 at Lakeland, Florida, in 2006.
