Escondido man loses 392 pounds  Weighty topic: The Jan. 13 issue
of People magazine focuses on ordinary people who have lost a
huge amount of weight.  Included is Escondidan Michael Holcomb,
26, who slimmed from 607 pounds (and wearing a T-shirt that
covered a queen-size bed) to 215 pounds.  Says the trimmed
Holcomb: “I walk into a room with more confidence knowing if
someone is looking at me, it’s not because of my size.”  People
calls its special cover story, “Half Their Size.” Ironically, it
tells the story in a special “double” issue.
