LESSIE ALVARADO: THEN
302 lbs.
The Grand Prairie, Texas, bank manager admits that, at her highest weight, she would eat several dinners a day. "I would hit a fast-food drive-in on the drive home. Then, an hour later, my husband would ask me what we were eating for dinner – and I wouldn't tell him I'd already eaten! And usually, we'd eat out at another fast-food restaurant. It was the same at lunch – my sister-in-law and I would go for an all-you-can-eat buffet, then my husband would want to go to lunch a few hours later and I'd meet him. After awhile, I couldn't get under 200 lbs. "
