Britain's former fattest man loses 340kg and finds love via Facebook

Britain's former fattest man has lost 304kg and has found love via Facebook.

Paul Mason, who previously weighed 440kg by eating 20,000 calories a day, revealed that he got a Facebook message from Rebecca Mountain, who later became his girlfriend, after she saw a TV documentary about him and wanted to help him find someone who would operate on him, the Metro reported.

The 52-year old resident of Ipswich from Orange, Massachusetts confessed that his 40-year old girlfriend had brought up the idea of dating after they became close by repeatedly chatting over Skype.
