She does, because she got hot and clearly decides she can do better.

Shane Graves and Marissa Schnell began their weight loss journey because they wanted to be able to hold each other at their wedding, but by the end they had learned so much about themselves that they ended up calling the whole thing off.

As the Daily Mail reports, Shane and Marissa first appeared on ABC’s “Extreme Weight Loss” with a very romantic story.

The couple had been together for seven years and got engaged at a Jennifer Nettles concert. Despite spending all of their time together, they put off any wedding plans and Marissa was persuaded that their unhealthy lifestyle and weight was partially responsible.



When they weighed in for their weight loss challenge, Shane weighed 467 pounds and was called, “a heart attack waiting to happen,” while Melissa weighed 255 pounds. They were given the goal of losing 200 pounds in 90 days and were told they would be married in six months.

“I need you to change because I want you to be here,” Marissa told Shane. “I want to have babies with you and grow old together.”



At the 90 day weigh-in, they passed their weight loss goal with Marissa having dropped 63 pounds and Shane having lost 139 pounds. Little did they know, however, that this was the beginning of the end of their relationship.

n the next phase of their training, the trainers set new goals for the couple. Marissa went home to her family while Shane stayed in Arizona to continue his weight loss efforts with the trainers.

Though the wedding planning progressed, a visit to Marissa at home in Nashville revealed that the bride-to-be was depressed. Not because she missed Shane, but because she wasn’t sure she wanted to be “attached to his hip any longer.”

“I found out who the ‘Real Marissa’ is, and I don’t think the ‘Real Marissa’ needs Shane,” she said.

After allowing for some time for Marissa to determine whether she just had cold feet or wanted to call things off, the show brought Marissa and Shane together again where she broke things off. Shocked that Marissa was calling it quits after seven years together, Shane said the he ultimately wanted her to be happy and assured her that he would be okay.



By the end of the weight loss challenge, Marissa had moved back to Ohio with her mother, was working with a suicide prevention center, and was happily single. She ended up losing 89 pounds.

Shane decided he loved Arizona and moved there permanently. He lost 242 pounds — a record for the show — and is preparing skin removal surgery.

He probably didn't have many/any sexual eperiences , considering his physical condition, beyond her. Let him get his knob waxed a time or two and he'll be all "who?, Shamo?"

When I was single I worked out 3 times a week, didn't have a sig other requiring me to do anything. I've recently began trying to eat more healthy, but that has done nothing to upset the warden, she just storms off complaining that I'm too picky.

You need to man up and take control of your situation. Otherwise, you'll wake up one day, only to realize that you're 70 pounds overweight.

Also, if you refer to your SO as "The Warden", it's time to move on.

Good grief.

Everyone on CP must have lost a shit load of weight.

Actually, I disagree.

She inspired him to lose 242 POUNDS. He lost more weight than most people WEIGH.

He improved his health, he found a passion, moved on and is doing much better in life. While it's too bad their relationship ended, they're both better off, especially him.

Win for him. Huge win.

Losing that much weight changes you. You look at life differently.
I bet one of the biggest results of losing weight is divorce or breakups.

Not the point ... She got skinny, went home, got attention, ****ed other dudes, and then made an excuse. Let's not pretend otherwise

She was the break up-er and he was the break up-ee. Getting dumped can suck. I've had it happen once or twice to me but I've done more breaking up overall.

His X is half way across the country. That helps to move on. Good for him!

He was probably a total dweeb...and when she lost that weight she started getting the attention she never got before and decided to be a slut. Fine, I get it. But definitely a Bitch move

The most important part is that HE lost 220+ pounds.

That she ended up as a "bitch" is irrelevant.

That relationship was the best thing that ever happened to him.

I don't disagree, Dane, at all. I disagree with your notion that you disagree it was a Bitch move solely because he bettered his life. She was clearly good for him ... Doesn't mean he deserves being left behind like that because she upgraded her life as well

[Hootie]

And I can guarantee you she left because she figured out she could get the attention she never got before ... 100% certainty ... I used to bang a young girl who lost like 90 lbs and they NEVER shed their fat girl insecurity
