The Trip That Was The Final Straw For This Couple
CNN
This is Justin and Lauren Shelton, who together lost a combined 538 pounds! Their 19-month weight loss journey began after a trip to the emergency room. The reality check came when Justin’s weight prevented doctors from diagnosing him properly since the machines couldn’t support his weight, which at the time was almost 600 pounds. Justin and Lauren, who also had health-related complications of her own, were not able to do simple everyday tasks and were prevented from enjoying things that others got to enjoy, like roller coasters. Together they decided it was time for a change.
