anyone else watching this?
its on itv at 2.30pm about families that are very overweight and they get followed for 3 months, thereare 8 families altogether and they are showing 2 sets of families a week, this weeks was great the family did really well im wondering if i have missed the rest or if this was the first week?

[veggie]

I just saw it first time today it's way better than fat nation. I dunno how long it has been on but it's on next week hurrah. I nearly cried when that kid who'd been off school as he was overweight and had a heart condition went back to school and people didn't recognise him as he'd lost so much weight.

[tootoot]

yes for him it was such a great acheivmnet but i truly think his mother should be ashamed of herself, she herself is an insulin dependant diabetic she is a staff nurse in diabetic unit her son had such a life threatening problem yet she didnt take the foos problem into hand sooner...... yes fair dos to her she pulled her finger out now but he is such a lovely looking boy with so much to look forward too , it could have been so very different if they hadnt applied to the programme

[veggie]

I didn't know that about the Mam, there were dogs barking and a sister talking over the programme.

[tootoot]

[tootoot]

[tootoot]

[veggie]

OMG I thought it was them when I saw a brief trailer. I didn't actually see it as I forgot Have to set video for tomorrow don't think its repeated.

[veggie]

I have set my phone to ring before the programme today I'll be annoyed if I'm out when it goes off.

[tootoot]

i missed it today, daughter had the orthodontist
will see the first 20 mins of it tomorrow though..... if all goes well

[veggie]

It was hilarious at the first month weigh in, the wife swap family had lost between them 4 pounds (one daughter put 6 on) and the other family 4 stone 8 pounds. According to the website tomorrow -

Two months in and competition between the Cooks and Jackson’s is far from healthy. Both families are struggling to lose weight. The Jackson’s put their lack of weight loss down to Jane Deville Almond’s nutritional advice while the Cooks suffer a setback when there’s a tragedy in the family and they turn to food for comfort.

Thanks for the link Veg i'll read all about them tomorrow or summat so did they 'fail' at wife swap so decide to go on a diet or what? or are they just serial reality tv contestants

[tootoot]

they are just superstar wannabes!!!!!!! they were also on reality show " the salon" i remember the dad was in poor jorge's jacuzzi

[veggie]

I forgot they were on the salon One of the daughters is so horrible I'd leave her back at home myself wouldn't appear on tv with her and the mother is just as bad. The experts on the programme are right though in that the parents (just like me) need to lose weight so I hope they do.
