ABC News' Sabrina Parise reports: Brian Beck, of Plano, Texas, tipped the scales at 487 pounds, and has been on the heavier side of the scale for most of his life. Even as a baby, his doctor put him on skim milk because he was gaining weight too rapidly. He was an active child, but continued to gain weight, and in college, put on the "freshman 50? rather than the more common "freshman 15." "I was hanging out with all the football players, so I was eating like the football players, but I wasn't working out like the football players," Beck said. By the time he graduated college, the sports medicine major weighed over 400 pounds, and found a job in radio as a talk show host, where he could hide behind his voice.
