Debi Horn, 23-year-old Gibraltar housewife who last December had her jaws wired shut by her dentist in a last desperate effort to lose weight, shows her form as she checked in at 170-pounds Wednesday. That's sixty pounds under the 230 she weighed when she began her experiment. She hopes to get down to 140-pounds by July 4.
