Amazing Success Story: How The World's Fattest Woman Lost 272kg + Check Out her new look

The world's heaviest woman who was accused of murder has reportedly
lost 600 pounds (about 272kg) in five years.

32-year-old Mayra Rosales was nicknamed the
Half-Ton Killer after she made headlines in 2008
of murdering her nephew with her own 1,000-
pound body. She has now decided to save her
own life by losing the wight.
According to a press release, she has indeed
managed to shed 'an astounding amount of
weight' thanks to surgeries, physical therapy,
rehabilitation and huge changes to her diet.
But with her new 400-pound body, she must
learn to carry out normal activities she has
never been exposed to, like grocery shopping
and job hunting.
Even though she confessed in 2008, Mayra was
acquitted of her nephew's murder in 2011 after
evidence concluded that the boy had multiple
injuries to his skull that were not indicative of
being smothered.

At the time, her lawyer Sergio Valdez told the
court: 'It would have required her to have to
swing her arm to strike the child on the head but
she could never move her arm in that manner.'
Mayra then testified that she witnessed her
sister Jaime using a brush to hit her son Eliseo
repeatedly on his arms, legs and head.
'We were all trying to cover for my sister,' she
testified from her bed, to which she was
confined because of her weight.
'There was abuse from her towards her son. She
yelled at him. She kicked him. On that night
Junior didn't want to eat and she got frustrated
and she hit him on the head with a hairbrush.

'I thought I was dying anyway so I decided to
admit that I'd done it to protect my sister
because I love her,' she concluded.
Jaime was found guilty of causing injury to a
child, and is currently serving a 15-year
sentence.
Today, Mayra has been given a second chance
at life, and one of her goals is to become
physically fit enough to be able to adopt and
take care of her nieces and nephew.
In a recent interview, she admits she had
undergone two surgeries, one on each side of
her legs, and she is awaiting a gastric bypass
surgery in the coming months.
She has also been following a high-protein, low-
carb diet, with plenty of steamed vegetables,
sugar-free desserts and soups.
In the interview, Mayra says optimistically: 'I'm
turning, sitting up, if I feel like going out I
transfer to the wheelchair. I'm still in
movement'.
'I was alive before, but I didn't have a life,' she
says. 'And now, I do.'
