Monica Riley, living in Fort Worth, Texas, dreamed of becoming the world’s fattest woman! She had a weight record of 700lbs. She consumed up to 10,000 calories a day. Monica wanted to be bed bound. Sid, her fiancee, would feed her 3,500-calorie milkshakes through a funnel.
Her commitment to getting the heaviest woman ended when she discovered she was pregnant. That’s when Monica decided to lose weight, so she could give birth to her child in the safest way. She lost nearly 200lbs before giving birth to her daughter, Michelle.
So, let’s get through her story…
1. Monica Riley weighed 700lbs at her heaviest
2. She lost 200lbs so she could give birth to her daughter safely
3. Pictured with her daughter, Michelle – Monica wants to lose more weight.
‘The jumpstart to losing weight was falling pregnant. I knew I wanted to have a family with Sid and I knew I had to take drastic steps for that to happen. At my heaviest, I was around 700lbs, then before I had her I was 520lbs, and now I’m down to around 465lbs,’
Monica.
Monica went through two miscarriages, alongside her diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which causes weight gain and infertility.
She said: ‘When I first heard I was pregnant, I was shocked. Seeing a positive test wasn’t that big a deal as it’d happened a couple of times before, and I’d always miscarried. But when I went to get a sonogram for the first time and I got to see her on the screen, it was magical.’
4. Monica had a huge following on her social media because of the posts consuming a lot of calories
5. She dreamed of being bed-bound
‘After the miscarriages though, I was so scared that something would go wrong and she wouldn’t make it. I was terrified to be fully happy and accept the fact that I was pregnant and had a baby in me and she was still growing,’
Monica.
Monica went from weighing 700lbs to 520lbs looking after her diet.
However, she still went through health complications. Her baby Michelle was delivered through an emergency C-section at 33 weeks.
Monica said: ‘She came out and I didn’t hear a cry and I was terrified. I was thinking “Is she okay? Is she alive? They bundled her up and showed her to us for a split second, then rushed to put her on a ventilator to get her to start breathing. It was a day and a half before I got to see her, that was the longest wait of my life. When I first saw her, I just started crying. I sobbed uncontrollably. Sid made sure that no one aside from the doctors had held her before me. Her face was all scrunched up and she looked like a little potato. She was hooked up to all these wires and oxygen and I didn’t know what was wrong with her, I just knew that when I saw her little cheeks and hands, I was so happy,’ added Monica.
On the other hand, she said she does not blame her lifestyle for the complications.
‘I don’t feel like my weight was a factor in that at all. Babies are born prematurely all the time,’ she said.
6. Monica was fed through a funnel by her fiance Sid, who supported her to gain weight.
‘My doctor was planning to induce me at 37 weeks, which is not far from 33, but the pre-eclampsia meant they had to get her out earlier.’
7. Monica wants her daughter to have a healthier lifestyle.
‘We will definitely not be funnel-feeding her, that’s for sure! When she’s eating solid food, we are only going to give her healthy things. Maybe at Halloween, if she goes trick-or-treating then we’ll let her have one candy or two, but we want to get her hooked on fruits and veggies while she’s young,’ said Monica.
8. Monica does not regret her past
She said: ‘When I look back at eating junk food every day, I don’t regret it at all, it tastes amazing! But I know what it did to me, and I’m not about that lifestyle anymore. The thought of being immobile just doesn’t appeal anymore, now that I’ve got a gorgeous little baby, I want to be able to keep up with her. I want Sid and me to be able to walk around the park with her, go to the mall together, go shopping and take her to the playground. That is just something that couldn’t have been done before,’
Monica.
However, not everyone in the SSBBW (Super-Sized Big Beautiful Woman) community supported her changes.
She added: ‘When I started to lose weight I did lose a lot of so-called friends in the fat community. Their ultimate goal was to see me immobile and now they couldn’t fulfill their fantasy anymore.’
9. Monica’s new lifestyle
Monica is committed to losing even more weight. She wants to go through gastric bypass surgery.
Monica said: ‘I’m just waiting to get an appointment. I want to get down to at least 300lbs, but 250lb would be even better. I’m hoping I can get the surgery this year, so hopefully, by this time next year, I’ll be at least 200lb lighter. The only thing that’s put me off getting surgery is that I don’t want to get too skinny, I still like being chubby. I just like feeling soft and squishy.’
On the other hand, Sid says he adores her regardless of her size.
‘I don’t care what size she is, I love her as a person, and that’s never going to change. If she has a gastric bypass and gets down to 150lbs, I’ll still love her, and we have this little baby together,’
Sid (Monica FiANCEe)
Monica concluded: ‘I can’t believe I’m finally a mum. Ditching funnel feeds for bottle feeds is the best thing I’ve ever done.’

Monica (and hubby)! Congratulations 🎉 on your new baby and new outlook on your health! I think you hit the nail on the head. Your baby and your hubby need you for long time. Good Health is a great thing to possess. I’m so looking forward to seeing your baby grow and benefit from your determination and commitment. Good luck!
I would love to know exactly how she got pregnant how on earth did that man manage to get her pregnant 🤣 joking aside I couldn’t believe what I was reading when she said she wanted to be bedridden, There has ro be severe mental issues to want that, I expect the struggle it took to walk even around the house was so bad she just wanted the excuse to not try anymore, thankfully god works in mysterious ways and maybe just maybe it’s another immaculate conception maybe that’s how she got pregnant you never know, that aside the fact she was and the fact she list 200lbs for her baby and she wants to lose much more is a testament to her courage to not care about her social media followers who I believe were part of the problem, she is now hopefully on the road to normal size she just needs to keep looking at the face of her baby for encouragement 😉
This woman is disgusting. I’m sorry, not sorry. And exactly how do u “fall pregnant” 🙃 Dreamed of being bed ridden? Why so that “genius” fiancé of hers can do everything? All I hear is lazy and the followings she got? Were more likely then not, ppl gasping at the utter lack of self control and pure ignorance that this “intelligent” woman displayed with her junk food addiction and morbid obesity. Makes me sick personally bc there are ppl out there who actually have eating disorders and she’s making a joke of it, then brought a baby into the mix? I hope she never gets the gastro surgery so that someone who deserves it has the opportunity.
I love her for taking such a bold step and now that she has little princess and that has awaken the motherhood in her .
I LOVE HER EVEN MORE
CONGRATULATIONS TO TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MY LOVE ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This work culture that actually push his body positivity for people who are of these/morbidly obese & to lose weight because of everything that they will lose. His two is insect in peoples minds! There’s some serious mental illness involved here. What men would funnel feed 3500 cal into someone that he supposedly loves so that she can get so fat and can’t move. 2023 people know the dangers of being overweight like that. He was willing to kill her as far as I’m concerned because that’s what would’ve happened if she kept getting weight, eventually.
I’m glad that she’s on a healthy journey now and if she loses friends who wanted her to be the fattest woman in the world immobile than those are people with serious mental illness or sick fetishes, and they weren’t friends in the first place.
She’s also not taking full responsibility, stating that she doesn’t regret eating of those things
Has she never seen the program my 600 kilo’s life?
Damn g this woman is huge and I’m not coming on here to be rude but that’s not good for your health. She needs to start taking care of her body. I hate to see people die just because there not taking car if there health. God bless.
I think it’s great that she has changed her life style. At the same time , why are people bashing her. She seems luke she enjoyed her life, now that she has a daughter she is doing better. Leave her to what she wants. Monica great job, sorry you had health issues that made you gain. Glad daughter and husband/boyfriend loves you for who you are inside not what you look like
If she wouldnt have gotten that big, the baby might have been born without health issues, everyone thinks weight gain is ok, but it really isnt.. even if it doesnt affect you, if can affect unborn kids etc
You’re f…ing stupid
That is absolutely disgusting! And foul that he was enabling her too!
Her gross weight is absolutely the reason why that poor baby was born wayy too early and it is a big deal and causes life long issues for that baby.
Great that she’s finally losing weight, I hope for the baby’s sake she keeps up with it
Your baby being born prematurely had everything to do with your weight and the condition you let yourself get into. Your lucky that it was not another miscarriage. Good luck to you to keep losing. You have a loving man and child. Get down to 200# if you can and live a healthy long life.
Monica I’m So proud of you for making the Most Loving decision you could’ve made..Now not only do you have a Sweet Loving Boyfriend but you have a little Angel you’ll Adore and Love for Eternity..😇♥️ I didn’t think i could have kids but 28 yrs ago at the Age of 31 ..i too had my little Angel, Chelsey!😇♥️
