Marla Mccants is the Author.
One of the most emotionally moving moments of the show was when Marla Mccants shared her story. She began as a woman who weighed close to 800 pounds. Because her ex-boyfriend was holding her hostage, she was unable to engage in physical activity or consume food, which led to her weight spiralling out of control.
When they first examined her, they were astounded to discover that they believed she only had a few weeks left to live. She went from being more than 400 pounds overweight to being 336 pounds light, a weight loss of more than 400 pounds.
