Marla McCants story feels like a page torn right out of a Hollywood director’s  script. Her battle with extreme obesity started when she was held hostage by her boyfriend. Doctors anticipated that she only had months to live. But when TLC came calling, she gladly snatched up the opportunity and decided to turn her life around. After undergoing a gastric bypass surgery, she lost over 266 pounds, and finally got to do something she’d never done in a long time…stand on her own two feet!
