Marla McCants: 596 Pounds

Reality television has given the world numerous celebrities. While some of them make it big in the glam world, many continue to fade into oblivion after their short-lived fame. However, Marla McCants wasn’t one of those people who would fade into nothingness after her stint on the reality television show.

She rose to fame by participating in the show My 600 Lb Life, where she, along with several other participants had to embrace a weight loss journey. She was weighing 800 pounds at one point when she had signed up for the show. And then went on to lose all that extra pounds with the help of the show and holds the record of being the person who lost the most weight on the show. She shed 596 pounds.

However, it was her tiff with the producers that made her more popular than her weight loss journey itself. And that fallout meant, she would never make an appearance on the show again. However, we are sure we would get to see her in more projects in the years ahead.
