HOUSTON (WITI) -- A 1,000 pound Texas woman, who was called the "Half Ton Killer" has lost 800 pounds after she falsely confessed to killing her 2-year-old nephew by rolling on top of him.



According to WKRT, Mayra Rosales, 34, weighed 1,000 pounds when her 2-year-old nephew died after her sister hit him in the head with a hairbrush in 2008.



After her sister begged for Rosales to take the blame, she told police that she smothered the child by rolling on top of him. Rosales was then charged with murder.



An autopsy discredited that story and Rosales' sister later confessed. Rosales' name was officially cleared and all the charges were dropped.



Rosales made it her mission to lose the weight so she could care for her sister's children. She lost about 800 pounds in total with the help of multiple surgical procedures and changing the way she ate.



Rosales says she still has more weight to lose.
