Just a thought on weight loss shows

"Biggest loser" is very motivating and awesome. "I used to be fat" is inspiring.
My whole life the most weight i've needed to lose was 45 lbs, but when I was younger it was more like 10-20 lbs that I needed to lose.

Where's the drastic help for the people who just can't seem to lose that 10-20 lbs that we've been struggling with our whole lives? Losing 100-200 lbs is better for TV, but people even a little overweight can experience the same issues as people who need to lose more. I think getting motivated can be even harder for those with less weight to lose because it seems to take more time to start losing weight. I'd be interested in a show helping people with less weight to lose (not that the other shows aren't inspiring and motivating)

Now that I've been dieting and exercising it seems ridiculous that I let myself live so overweight for so long, because after a while dieting became a lot easier and now its my normal diet.
