8. My grandmother died at 500+ pounds. Perhaps closer to 6.

The nursing home had her on a strict 500 calorie a day diet to try to lose weight and gain mobility, but she still gained 100 lbs while she was in there, had only been 4-something before but already couldn't bathe herself or walk since her knees needed total replacements and she couldn't go under anesthesia..

She knew her time was coming and used her stipend of spending money to buy yarn and crochet. I still have two of her dolls that she made dresses for, plus a "Sewing Granny" that had a air freshener underneath the skirt and the hat was a pincusion, plus had pockets all around to hold thread spools. I'm grateful she could still crochet, gave her something to do and she loved doing it. She usually sold them but about six months before her death she started making stuff like those things for me and for my older sister, as well as the people she knew who had been there for her, so they'd have something to remember her by.
