World's heaviest person walks for first time after weight loss
(FOX News) - A 17-year-old boy who once weighed more than 1,000 pounds has walked for the first time in his teenage life.
Khaled Mohsen Al Shaeri, of Saudi Arabia, has lost 700 pounds— about half of his weight— since being on an intensive hospital fitness routine, Central European News (CEN) reported.
In a new video, Khaled is shown walking with the help of a walker.
In 2013, he weighed 1,345 pounds when he was taken by medical helicopter to King Fahd Medical City in Riyadh, the capital of Saudia Arabia, for treatment at the request of the late King Abdullah.
