It’s a good thing this is no longer the case. On the follow-up episode, she stated that she has lost 538 pounds since then. This is the most participants who have ever participated in the show. She is at 172 pounds and looks and feels great. Aside from that, she recently completed her first 5-kilometer run.
Marla McCants
When you’re one of the show’s heaviest participants, you know you’ve got a serious problem. Marla McCants had gained around 800 pounds by the time she appeared on the episode. She felt traumatized and began stress-eating when her abusive ex-boyfriend fled. Her background has served her well as a humanitarian and motivational speaker. After undergoing gastric bypass surgery, she shed 266 pounds. For her, it appears that this is merely the beginning. Her current weight hasn’t been publicized, but her photos demonstrate that she is now healthy and happy!
