Like more than a quarter of men and women in Michigan, Nancy Makin was obese.
But at more than 700 pounds, hers was an extreme case.

"Faceless strangers helped save my life because the anonymity of the internet allowed me to connect to people who wouldn't ouf of hand reject me because of my appearance," Makin said.
Now with people to talk to, she began to lose weight naturally. Makin figures she lost more than 100 pounds without even noticing.
...she just found herself with emotional connections that replaced her desire to constantly eat.
