Is anyone watching this?? Or watched it tonight?? What did you think?

I am not anywhere close to being as overweight as the people on the show are, but it still gives me motivation that if these individuals can do it, then I can too with much less effort!

    Yes it was very motivating and it made me say I will continue to exercise no matter what. I like you, am no where near the weight they are but I can identify with the frustration, emotions and wanting it so bad!

    I am watching right now! It came on after Intervention, which I love. So do they go through the 6 months with these same folks? and different folks next week?

    Oh thank you for posting this! I had forgotten what day it was on. I missed it, but they show it again in 20 minutes so I set the DVR. :)

    Thanks to your post, I remembered I wanted to see it.

    I'm kinda glad this is on in a non-competitive style (a la Biggest Loser). People sometimes don't understand what it is really like being big and the struggles people have to deal with. It isn't always as simple as "just stop eating so much."

    i'm pretty sure there are 20 total individuals so00 I'm guessing 10 episodes with 2 new people every week!

    I'm watching it now too. I really like the non-competitiveness of it too. I also like that if the way they have the program set up. It's very motivational. Definitely a show I'm going to try to remember to watch every week!
