Fitness fan Larry has offered to help his wife, whose heaviest is 17, reach her goal weight of 10th after she refused to let him pick her up on her wedding day their for romantic moments.
The 29-year-old is helping push the 5ft 9in tall Carla into a new fitness routine and the pair have been documenting it on social media.
But the couple has come under fire from those questioning why Larry is marrying the 27-year-old content creator, amid a spate of insults about her weight.

In response, the pair created a video in which they listed their commonalities onscreen – including scathing remarks that marketing executive Larry ‘probably is cheating’ Carla.
The video goes on to show Carla, now 15, swaying her body before the pair embrace – to show critics they ‘don’t care’ about the remarks.
While many commenters applauded the video, some people misinterpreted the troll comments for comments written by Larry.
Carla, from San Diego, California, USA, said: “The purpose of the video is to show trolls we don’t care about.
“There is a large group of people who understand that, but some people think that Larry wrote those comments about me.
“It was a misunderstanding. People who took the time to watch our other TikTok videos understood what we were doing.
“But that comes with territory. The more viral your video is, the more people will find something negative to say.
“I’m very comfortable with the word ‘fat’, with calling myself ‘fat.’ I think there’s a misnomer – our profile is called ‘Carla and Larry’ for a reason.”
“I’m human so of course there are times when comments come to me. But it’s not like I sit and cry about it.
“I’m a positive person so I try to focus on women who see value in the videos we do. Every day, I get emails and texts thanking me for not being ashamed to be able to be. show your true self.
“It’s amazing how people who don’t even know us have our backs.”
He said: “I just make sure to support my wife and make sure she doesn’t disappoint. At the end of the day, there will be bad guys attacking whatever you do.

Jibes says her weight is nothing new as Carla said her weight fluctuates all the time, she said: “I was always amused as a kid before losing a lot of weight as a teenager, my weight fluctuates throughout life.
“When the Coronavirus hit, I hit four stones. I really wanted to do something about it for the longest time.

Carla Plus-size decided to document her progress on TikTok as a way to hold herself accountable and now has over 250,000 followers.
Carla said: “I didn’t know it was going to blow up the way it was.
“Initially, I had 100 followers, then we had a viral video and we hit 60,000 followers. That’s when I thought ‘guess I really have to lose weight now’.
“I’ve almost lost a stone since the beginning of the year,” she said.
“Larry is an amazing husband and thanks to him, I’ve been on my diet.
“It’s been an amazing journey to share all of this online. I never thought of this as a potential career path.”
