1It is easy to find newspaper articles and interviews of this couple. Is that sufficient evidence? If not, what would it take to convince you? – Oddthinking Sep 30 '14 at 09:48

Their story was told on several news outlets:
- ABC News -- "Husband and Wife Lose Over 500 Pounds Together" (September 17, 2013)
- Huffington Post -- "I Lost Weight: Justin And Lauren Shelton Lost More Than 500 Pounds Together" (September 16, 2013)
- Daily Mail -- "Husband and wife reveal their unbelievable transformation after losing a combined 524 POUNDS in 19 months" (September 17, 2013)
- Today (NBC News) -- "Husband, wife lose more than 500 pounds" (September 16, 2013)
Maybe that's sufficient evidence: the standard for this site requires that the evidence referenced in an answer must be better than the evidence presented/questions in the OP; I hope that national news stories (in this answer) are better, more fact-checked, than an unknown Facebook page (in the OP).
