>The heaviest woman in the world is using an
unusual method to shed serious pounds - sex.
>“I sweat off loads of calories,” 600-pound
Pauline Potter revealedin an interview with UK magazine Closer this month. “I
call it ‘sexercise.’”
>Potter, 47, became the Guiness World Record
holder for heaviest woman last year when she weighed in at 700 pounds, but
she’s
managed to lose nearly 100 pounds in the last year by rekindling her romance
with her ex-husband Alex.
>Married for three years, they split in 2008 but
reunited when he heard about her Guiness title last year. It didn’t take long
for them to land in bed together - repeatedly.

>HLN
>Pauline Potter is interviewed by
Dr. Drew on HLN.
>“I hadn’t had sex in three years, but we did it
six times!” she told the magazine, adding they now make love between two and
seven times per day. “He took charge as I couldn’t move much, but he was so
attentive.”
>Though their relationship is long distance at
the moment - Potter lives in California while Alex is in Arizona - he has made
extended trips to see her so they can continue their marathon sex
sessions.

>Double Vision Media
>Alex and Pauline at their wedding
in 2005.
>“I can’t move much in bed, but I burn 500
calories a session. It’s great exercise just jiggling around,” she told the
magazine. “My bed is strengthened and, although I can’t buy sexy lingerie, I
drape a nice sheet over me.”
>Potter, who has helped speed up her weight loss
by exercising in the pool three to five times a week and cutting out most of
the
junk food in her diet, said she wanted to share her story to satisfy some
curiosity she had encountered.
>“I found that a lot of people in this world are
intrigued that fat girls like sex too,” she toldHLN’s Dr. Drew.
>The mother of a 14-year-old son, Potter said her
weight loss isn’t just about sex - it’s about gaining a healthier
lifestyle.
>“I want more and I don’t want my life to slip
away and possibly die from this,” she told Drew.
>Though she already weighed 400 pounds by the
time she gave birth to her son, Potter said she binge ate when she and her
husband divorced and ended up packing on the pounds.
>“I was so down,
I’d eat four bowls of cereal for breakfast, half a box of cookies and a bag of
crisps with cheese as a mid-morning snack,” she told Closer. “For lunch I’d
have
a Big Mac with chicken nuggets and fries, then three portions of spaghetti
Bolognese for dinner, followed by a pint of ice cream.”
>Soon after her weight had climbed so high she
couldn’t leave her house without using a motorized scooter.
>But Alex still thought her size was sexy -
despite the occasional logistical issue.

>Double Vision Media
>Pauline and Alex at a
picnic.
>“It’s hard to position her and find her pleasure
spots as she has a lot of fat in the pelvic area,” he told the magazine. “But
it
turns me on knowing she’s satisfied. Although once, when she got on top, I
couldn’t breathe.”
>Potter plans on keeping her relationship - and
her weight loss method - going for the long haul.

>Double Vision Media
>Alex and Pauline in
2011.
>“If you were to ask me what was going to happen
a year from now,” she said, “I would say I will have lost a good amount of
weight and we probably will end up married again.”
