Anyone watching it?? I love it! I'm addicted to these fat shows! lol It's a darker spin on obesity, but still enjoyable to root for people who are slowly killing themselves learn to be healthier.

Thoughts??

I actually made a post for this last week when it aired, I think only like two others said they watch it so I'm REALLY glad to see someone else who is as into it as I am! I LOVE IT

The leaky leg last night almost made me vomit but...it's a real thing. It's so sad but it was SO awesome seeing ALL four of these people they've shown so far getting their lives back! I felt bad for the lady last week, her husband SUCKED!

Kriz - THANK YOU. I seriously choked back vom because it grossed me out. How does your body create a hole to let fluid out?? GAG! Glad you like this show too! I accidentally found another one tonight called Tons of Love on TLC. I guess it makes me feel better seeing they have to lose like 300lbs - it puts 28lbs into perspective.

I'm so glad I have a show about weight loss & health to watch other than TBL, which as we all know is scripted, fake, and destructive.

I kinda like watching these shows too... but I'm waiting for them to air one that the person isn't over weight because they eat 20 cheeseburgers, 4 large fries, and an extra large diet coke.

That is to say... a show that notes that not EVERYONE that is fat is fat because they are slobs that don't exercise and eat junk all day.

Know what I mean?

Well for me, I was/am fat because I ate junk and didn't exercise. Given, I didn't eat 12 burgers a day but I could eat 4 if I wanted and 2 orders of fries and a milkshake and well the list goes on...I think for most people that is the case. Addiction to food is the most common which goes hand in hand with sitting on your butt all day instead of exercising.

Madison - WHEW! So glad to know I wasn't the only one grossed out by the fluid!

I just watched this yesterday and the "leaky leg" did make my stomach do a few flips! I have to say, though, I wasn't extremely grossed out because I have an addiction to "fat shows" as well and I've seen so many people with that problem, especially the people who are bed-bound and weighing 700+. They usually have huge masses in their legs filled with fluid. Sometimes I can't look at it, but I guess I'm starting to desensitize myself to it, lol.

People around me always ask me why I watch shows like this. I honestly don't know if it's out of curiosity or what, but they definitely keep me motivated, even the darker ones with super obese in it because I have a chance to keep myself from getting to that point.

I love that show. Two episodes and I'm already addicted. I also like I Used To Be Fat on MTV. Both are inspiring. I used to watch TBL, but stopped watching because I didn't like the backstabbing and gameplay.

I have to say that my sister has a leaky leg. She also has the thing where your leg just grows really big. I felt like I was on my way there and thats what pushed me to get started on this. I cry and cry through this whole thing.

Watched it last night , don't remember the guys name, but what a spoiled brat he is , yelling at his wife to wait on him at all times. He is also so vain, he is a talented musician and good looking , even in his obesity.He needs to lose about 300 pounds, at least.

I love MTV's I Used To Be Fat! I'm addicted to that show. It's very inspiring. But I've honestly never watched Heavy, TBL, or other weight loss shows.
