I've watched it. I liked the concept, and the first part of the first episode.
Since then, it's been all down hill. It makes overweight people seem like a bunch of whiners and complainers...and I do think that the amount of physical activity is too much, and may influence some viewers to do too much too soon.
Boo to ABC.
