Is watching MTV's True Life "I'm over weight" I always get sucked into the documentary style shows about weight issues! Anyone else do this?

    I've always liked weight loss shows and wedding shows. I get sucked into them every time.

    I LOOOOOOOVED Jillian Michaels show she did for a while, it was great. I think I like watching them loose all that weight over the course of an hour and getting to where they feel so good - the makeover part is the best!

    Love the weight loss memoirs. Have you read Diet Girl? or Half A**ed by Jenette Fulda? Those are two really good ones. Confessions of a Carb Queen is really good as well.

    I haven't heard of several of these shows so I need to look into them. I loved My 600lb life. I used to like The Biggest Loser but it has lost most of its appeal for me.

    It's great. They put 2 people in a house, one overweight, the other under, and they have to swap menus for a week.

    It's on channel 4 and a new series starts next week!

    Oooo, don't mean to be so ruuuude but the 600# life kinda grosses me out. Im fat enough but I don't understand how a person gets sooo big, especially when at some point, someone has to be bringing them ALL THAT FOOD! And imagine how much $$$$$ they have invested in all that fat??!! Foods not cheap

    I used to love the biggest loser - but after so many "you can talk to your mama if you eat 10 pieces of candy " challenges I kinda lost interest - though I do still turn in for the make over shows. I watched one episode with Anna K. on it and got so frustrated by her attempts to "relate" I was about to freak out so I turned it.

    My 600 pound life is one I just started watching - I missed a few episodes but they are all rerunning tomorrow and I have it set to record. I love seeing them turn their lives around.

    I must find this "superskinny vs super size" show!

    My favorite is Extreme Makeover : Weight Loss Edition. That show is unbelievable and Chris Powell is the best motivator that I have ever seen for the super-obese. He is amazing and such a blessing to a lot of people's lives. Once I reach my goal, I want to follow in his footsteps (and my own personal trainer's footsteps) and help to change people's lives the way that my trainer has helped to change mine. I went from 346.6 to 244.2 and I am hoping to be in the 100s very soon.

    I think it just gets away from the like it does the rest of us. Just at a different level. And you aren't kidding about the cost of food - I know I am toting a lot of grocery money around with me these days! :)
