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.

A "bitch" move would have been, IMO, if she had lost significant weight but he failed to do the same.

As it turned out, he lost significantly more weight, found a new passion and a new place to live, not out of pity or spite. Yet, she moved back home to her mom.

Seems to me, he's the lottery winner here.

Doesn't really upset me. Clearly he is better off.

I do think it is funny how women can jump ship the minute they start getting other male attention. Everything they built together for 7 years went out the window when she realized she had other options.

I'm perfectly content eating brown rice, water, and boiled chicken breasts but for some reason for women a meal is some social event that needs to be planned days out in advance.

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.

Sounds like you are dating the wrong person.

I dated a wonderful girl for a month earlier this year. We NEVER went out to dinner. She was the most low maintenance, smartest, prettiest girl I've ever encountered. She really broke the mold.

But they didn't build a damn thing. They were just in a toxic codependent relationship and once she lost the weight, got some confidence, got healthier, and started seeing more of life she wanted to move on.

That's ****ing normal and healthy.

Why is it the norm to call someone that ends a relationship an asshole/bitch?

Is it wrong for someone to do what makes them happy/they think is right for them? Should they continue a relationship for no reason other than the fact that they started one?

It's not the "Norm".

Clay is a He-Man Woman Hater.

Isn't that obvious?

Yes. Sometimes things don't work out. Amazing woman, though. Truly. I only wish she realized it (low self esteem).

It happens often. Very often.

Then you need to look within. Then, and only then, will you be able to choose well.

It's a hard lesson to learn, one that I had to learn on my own as well. But if you truly seek a great relationship filled with trust, it's the only way.
