Marla was one of the heaviest people to participate on the show, weighing around 800 pounds at the time. She was in an abusive relationship that left her traumatized, leaving her to turn to food for comfort. Her stress eating caused her to become severely overweight, but after her gastric bypass surgery, she lost an incredible amount of weight. She is now a motivational speaker, and she truly is an inspiration.
