Too Fat for 15- fighting back
Who seen this programme, I am am watching it now. I was so scared. Kids weigh in at 510lbs, 336lbs, 284lbs.

I've seen it....I feel for those kids...it's not an easy road they're on...I was chubby in my early school years, and after being teased about how fat I was (when I wasn't even THAT fat!), I became VERY overweight through high school. It's such a tough time. I get very frustrated with the parents on that show that don't see how unhelpful they are to their kids.

I've seen season 1. Tanisha, the girl who weighs 510lbs at the start is very successful in losing a lot of weight. In season 2 she either gets close to or is in the 200s. I really hope she finds the strength & motivation to keep it off. I feel bad for the kids who don't have the support they need when they go home. Scotty's mom just keeps making excuses for him and that's not helping him. He's 14 and weighed in at 330lbs. I was about 200lbs by the time I was in junior high. It's not an easy road to travel.

Exactly! Scotty's mom is way too easy on him and makes excuses for him in everything! Like, even with his academics, she said "as long as you tried your best," and he totally admitted he didn't try that hard, and was being lazy, and didn't do anything until the last minute when he tried to squeak through. So many of the kids have parents who don't seem to get it at all.
