Christina Phillips
When Christina Phillips first appeared on the show, she weighed 708 pounds, a record for her at the time. Dr. Nowzaradan was taken aback by this young woman’s daily calorie intake of 7,000. We should be appreciative that this is no longer the case. In a subsequent episode, it was discovered that she had lost 538 pounds since the show’s inception. Anyone who has appeared on the show previously has never had such a massive audience. She is in good shape at her present weight of 172 pounds. Additionally, she recently completed her first 5-kilometer race, a personal best for her.

Marla McCants
When you’re one of the show’s heaviest contestants, you know you’re dealing with a serious issue. Marla McCants had a body mass index (BMI) of approximately 800 in the months preceding her appearance on the show. When her abusive ex-boyfriend fled, she began to binge eating to cope with her sadness and worry. She currently works as a motivational speaker and philanthropist, putting her life experiences to good use. She was able to shed 266 pounds following gastric bypass surgery. She seemed to be on the approach of beginning a new chapter in her life. Although we have limited information on her weight, based on her recent photographs, we can presume she is in good health and content.
