I saw the preview for this today, and it looks like fabulous motivation :)

Thought I'd share:

I know TV shows like this are unrealistic when it comes to most people (most of us can't be under 24/7 supervision), but I just think it's great seeing people lose weight and feel amazing. Great motivation to keep trucking forward!

    the best thing is like Heavy on A&E you will see the final transformation at the end of the show.

    Actually i read an article about it yesterday and they said its more realistic then Biggest Loser, because the candidates were too heavy for biggest loser and lost their weight over the course of a year while at home (not off at some ranch) Given its squished into an hour, so you cant see EVERY struggle that individual had but I can see how it would be a better learning process for those watching it as well.

    They still dont have stats on how long most biggest loser contestants keep the weight off, especially since most do the highest loss while at the ranch, then face their old demons at home, where no one is there to monitor them, or say no.

    I enjoyed Heavy - too bad it hasn't been airing. Well at least not in my neck of the woods.

    I saw a few shows of Heavy, and it was great too. I like to watch people who succeed at this especially on days that are so hard for me. Great way to keep the mojo going!

    Idk if you saw my FB status, but I'm excited for the show, too. I never really got into The Biggest Loser, but I can't wait to see the transformations the people make over a year. I think it's more realistic. Also, it'll definitely be some great motivation!
