We all know that obesity is simply not good for health and invites many
diseases. There are people with weight of 100 kg to 200 kg. But, have
you heard of somebody weighing over 500 kg and living their life? Yes,
there were such people who died recently, but lived life with much
problems and pains. But, their spirit seems to be the never dying one
although they were completely different from the other normal humans. I

Mills Darden (October 7, 1799 – January 23, 1857 is alleged to have been one of thelargest men in history. He was widely reported to have stood approximately 2.3 metres (7.5 ft) tall and is said to have weighed around 454 kilograms (1,000 lb) to 499 kilograms (1,100 lb) at his heaviest. If the reported figures are correct, Darden was 30 percent taller and about six times as heavy as the average American male of today.
Mills (or Miles) was born on October 7, 1799, near Rich Square, North Carolina, to John and Mary Darden. He was married at least once and had several children. His wife Mary, who died in 1837 aged about 40, was 1.50 metres (4.9 ft) tall and weighed 44.4 kilograms (98 lb) and the tallest of their sons reached 1.80 metres (5.9 ft) (tall for an era when the average adult American male
The Heaviest Woman In Recorded History
Carol Ann Yager (1960-1994) holds the distinction of having been one of the most severely obese people in history.
Weight
Yager is perhaps more notable for having lost the most weight by natural (non-surgical) means, in the shortest documented time (521 lbs. in three months). While others have registered larger total weight loss, some were assisted by bariatric surgery and/or cosmetic procedures to remove excess tissues, and all were over longer periods of time; 19 months (with surgical assistance) in the case of Guinness' record holder, Michael Hebranko, and 16 months for John Brower Minnoch, (said to be the heaviest man ever recorded). Guinness' female record holder, Rosalie Bradford's weight loss took over 1 year (420 lbs. in the first year), and she underwent at least five surgical sessions to remove tissue during that time.
