Mexico's 'Half-Ton Man' Sheds Nearly 400 Pounds... Just 575 to Go
This should be an ideal motivational tool. I'll copy it and tape it to my fridge door. :P
Manuel Uribe, who once weighed half a ton, left his house Wednesday for the first time in five years.
Six people pushed Uribe's wheel-equipped iron bed out to the street, as a mariachi band played and a crowd gathered to see the man who once weighed 1,235 pounds.
"The sky is beautiful and blue and what I want is to enjoy the sun," Uribe said after taking a sip from a champagne bottle.
Unable to leave his bed for more than five years, Uribe has lost 397 pounds since he began a high-protein diet a year ago. He now weighs about 840 pounds.
To celebrate the milestone, a forklift placed Uribe's bed onto a trailer pulled by a pickup truck and the 41-year-old mechanic rode through the streets of San Nicolas de los Garza, a Monterrey suburb.
Dozens of reporters and photographers followed Uribe as he passed the town's plaza and church, waving at clusters of people eager to get a glimpse of him.

Favorite shots?
I do Tequila with salt and lime wedge most of the time, but I do like some others.
Buttery Nipple
1 ounce Butterscotch Schnapps
1 ounce Irish Cream
Pour schnapps into an old-fashioned glass then slowly pour Irish Cream against side of glass.
Kamikaze Vodka, Triple Sec, Lime Juice
Antifreeze Shot
ounce Melon Liqueur
ounce Vodka
Combine ingredients in shot glass and serve.
