Yahoo.com said at 5 feet 4 inches tall, Christine Hall was rejected as a kidney donor because of her weight, which was 200 pounds, two years ago.

Hall, 66, reportedly turned to a local Starbucks.

The article said she would usually have coffee and oatmeal for breakfast, a bistro box of fruit and cheese for lunch, and a panini for dinner.

After two years, Hall reportedly dropped 76 pounds on the diet and said she feels great. See a photo!
