Manuel 'Meme' Uribe, 43, gives a thump up while being driven in a forklift to the dance hall where he and Claudia Solis will get married in Monterrey, Mexico, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2008. Uribe, who tipped the scales in 2006 at 1,230 pounds (560 kilograms), earning him the Guinness Book of World Records' title for the world's heaviest man, lost 550 pounds (250 kilograms) with the help of Solis, whom he met four years ago.
