True Life › Ep. Big Grl

What if you were so big that you needed a special scale just to weigh yourself? But so strong you could bench press a friend without breaking a sweat.

On this episode of True Life, you'll meet 370 pound strong woman, Holley Mangold. A former high school football lineman make that line woman who's literally living large while going for Olympic gold.

She's gunning for a spot on the 2012 Olympic team. But training and competing full time means saying goodbye to friends and to club hopping. Holley knows that the road to London will be full of obstacles as she tries to overcome her lack of experience, her injuries, and her insecurity about making the grade. She's got the weight of the world on her shoulders. Can Holley prove her naysayers wrong, or will her dreams ultimately come crashing down. Find out next on True Life: I'm The Big Girl.
