Mayra Lizbeth Rosales, originally from Texas, was once one of the heaviest women in the world, weighing over 1,000 pounds. In 2008, her life took a dramatic turn when she was accused of murdering her two-year-old nephew. Unable to move, she claimed to have accidentally crushed the child.
However, the autopsy revealed injuries inconsistent with her account, and the investigation proved that her sister, Jamie, was the real culprit. Mayra had lied to protect her.
Cleared of all charges, Mayra made a radical decision: she wanted to regain custody of her sister’s children and take back control of her life. That marked the beginning of a truly extraordinary personal and medical journey.
With the help of Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, she started a strict diet and underwent several surgeries, including a gastric bypass.
Over the course of a few years, Mayra lost more than 880 pounds—about 80% of her initial weight. She went from being completely immobile to living an active life, discovering simple joys like walking, traveling, and caring for children.
Her physical transformation came with a mental rebirth: she regained confidence in herself and became an inspiration to thousands of people around the world.
Mayra now shares her experience on social media, encouraging those battling obesity to never give up. Her story is a moving testimony of resilience, courage, and family love.
