“World’s Heaviest Woman” Stuns Fans After Losing 500+ Pounds
Pauline Potter, once dubbed the “World’s Heaviest Living Woman” by Guinness World Records at 700 lbs, has amazed the world by shedding over 500 pounds — and gaining a new lease on life.

Featured on My 600-lb Life, Pauline revealed how she once embraced her size to please her then-husband, but her health quickly spiraled. Everyday tasks became nearly impossible, and her son Dillon had to step in to help with basic care.

The turning point came in 2012 when she reached out for help after learning she held the world record. That moment sparked her decision to transform her life.

With the help of Dr. Nowzaradan and a commitment to intense lifestyle changes, Pauline lost more than 500 lbs through surgery, diet, and determination. Dr. Now praised her effort, reminding fans, “Surgery is a tool — not a cure. Pauline did the hard work.”

Now, Pauline’s story inspires countless others battling obesity. No longer defined by her weight, she stands as a symbol of strength, resilience, and the power of change.
