BRYAN JOHNSON: Our sex life is too hot for TV.
PATTY SANCHEZ: I won the gold medal in the Olympics of Love.
COMM: Patty Sanchez once strived to be the
fattest women in the world.
PATTY SANCHEZ: My weight when I was my heaviest
was 722 pounds. When my ex-boyfriend and I broke up and I ended up all alone, and I had
no one to help me, even get up out of the bed because it was that hard. That’s when
I made the conscious decision that I did need to lose weight to save my life.
PATTY SANCHEZ: I lost 245 pounds in 19 months.
I didn’t have weight loss surgery.
COMM: With her confidence boosted, 52-year-old
Patty bagged herself a 39-year-old boyfriend. Meet Bryan.
BRYAN JOHNSON: I met Patty online through,
basically this one website, it’s usually for women that are not of the socially acceptable
skinny weight.
PATTY SANCHEZ: Our relationship progressed
pretty fast, we talked a few months and within the next three months Bryan moved in with
me. He left California and came here to me.
BRYAN JOHNSON: She was just loving. The first
minute I came in she just embraced me with open arms and, yeah.
BRYAN JOHNSON: Sorry.
BRYAN JOHNSON: That’s how much I love her.
COMM: The couple is making the most of Patty’s new lease of life.
BRYAN JOHNSON: Our sex life is too hot for
TV basically. I could say a few things, but I choose to be more, you know, I will keep
some of that to myself. All I will say is that it is very active. Our sex life is very
active.
PATTY SANCHEZ: Our sex life is awesome. It’s
often, it’s enjoyable, it’s part of what I consider exercise. Because he handles me
so well and makes me move so much that I am actually sore sometimes. So, in body, in body.
BRYAN JOHNSON: Sexercise is a real thing.
I mean if you’re gonna exercise, you might as well enjoy it.
COMM: Bryan is also is putting Patty through
her paces with more traditional workouts to help her shift the pounds.
PATTY SANCHEZ: I exercise about 20 minutes, 5 days a week.
BRYAN JOHNSON: I know I am pushing her harder.
I am pushing her harder than she needs to be, but…
PATTY SANCHEZ: He always pushes me harder
and it is motivating in itself.
BRYAN JOHNSON: That’s what you have to do.
If you’re gonna work out, you are gonna work out.
COMM: Patty is so committed that she has enlisted the help of a nutritionist.
KAREN FISHER: So you have lost, did you say
245 pounds? In what time frame?
PATTY SANCHEZ: 19 months.
KAREN FISHER: I am gonna get you a list of
anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant foods because health really is based on keeping that oxidation
system down and then limit TV viewing, basically sitting. So, you are working within the realm
of where you can right now. So you are doing chair exercises, so that’s, you know, moving
in the right direction.
PATTY SANCHEZ: Losing weight and meeting
Bryan has given me a better outlook on life, because I have a reason now to want to stay
happy for my weightloss but also enjoying it with somebody that I really love.
BRYAN JOHNSON: We would, you know, stay together
as long as, you know, till death do us part.
PATTY SANCHEZ: I would love to marry Bryan.
I love him that much.
PATTY SANCHEZ: I scored big time. I won the
gold medal in the Olympics of Love.
