Good for him! Always good to see someone working towards a healthier living.
Reminds me that I need to go running tomorrow if I'm not feeling sick.

For Patrick Deuel, who in June checked into a Sioux Falls hospital weighing an almost inconceivable 1,072 pounds, a downward spiral is a welcome twist in a life plagued by obesity.

Deuel, 42 and slightly less than 6 feet tall, has stuck to a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet and dropped 321 pounds so far at Avera McKennan. In the next 18 months to two years, the plan is to gradually shed another 450 or more pounds, all under the careful supervision of a team of eight doctors and several nurses.

A person is overweight with a BMI of 25 to 29.9, and obese with a BMI of 30 or higher.

Deuel's BMI, at its highest, was well over 100, Harris said.
