"I used to be Fat"

I just watched a show last night called "I used to be Fat". I'm thinking its one of those shows that follows a different person each time, but when I saw it it was about an 18 year old named Terra. Any thoughts on this show? It was on MTV so I'm thinking they focus more on overweight teens/young adults.

    It's a different person each show....follows them over the summer between HS graduation and starting college. I watched every episode of season 1, it's a good show, and they're at home so its more real life than biggest loser (tho I watch that show, too lol)

    I like the show. It is like the teens go through a crash course for 90 days to get fit. They work hard and see results. I think that it is great because it is during a transition for them from highschool to college.

    LOVE the show and I agree its more realistic then the biggest loser because at least its at their own house so they have to train themselves to eat better, etc.. I feel so bad for the teens whose parents etc eat awful too.. I mean its gotta be that much harder when its all youve know and your family wont change at all

    I love watching the show....it inspires me to want to be at the gym all the time(even though I only go once a day). It makes me feel like I can do this!

    Great show! I watched it last week and a boy lost 117 pounds in 112 days. That's a bit quick but it does show what hard work and determination can do!!

    I haven't watched the new episode yet, but I watched all of last season and last week's episode. It's a very inspiring show. It bugs me how unsupportive their family and friends can be though.

    I love it!! Watch it every week!! Although, the one last night (Terra) had the trainer who I don't like very much-- I think he's pretty flat and expressionless.

    The one with the boy who wanted to surf (Josh? Can't remember his name) was pretty good though-- that trainer was so nuts but I liked him! haha :)

    Generally I prefer watching the episodes about girls, though... since I am one... haha
