1000 lbs Best Friends on TLC

Anybody watch this show ?  4 friends trying to get their weight under control. Two have already had wt reduction surgery but have gained some of the weight back, one does not want to have weight reduction surgery but is trying to lose weight and one who is also trying to lose weight so she can get the surgery (thats Vanessa)  Vanessa is the most obnoctious woman !  They all have the same goal which is to lose the weight, all over 350 lbs. I am looking forward to their final results

I happened upon this show while flipping through the channels. It's so scripted, exploitive, and outrageous. I could only stand it for about 20 minutes, including commercials. Leave it up to TLC to come up with this.

NO. The trailers were bad enough. I can't imagine actually sitting through a whole show with these 4 people. Ugh.

I saw a few minutes of this show.  Way too negative and won't be watching.

Re: 1000 lbs Best Friends on TLC

I saw the commercials, and it didn't really interest me.  Although I watch my 600 pound life, sometimes I end up yelling at the TV for them to stop eating fast food.  

 

Losing weight is a real struggle so I'm aware of how hard it is, and having a camera on you throughout your journey to me would be motivating to do better, but it seems that the ones on these shows are using the show just to make a buck and not to better themselves. 

 

I've wondered if they are paid to be on these shows, or if the free medical care and travel is what they are receiving for payment.

I am watching. Curious to see how they do. Now Vanessa's son is involved. Hope he takes advantage of the help being given. I do wish they would clean up their mouth. There are other words that can be used. Just don't like that kind of talk.

I saw Megan on another show and she lost a lot of weight and then stopped losing. I didn't know that she was living with another woman that is extremely overweight. The situation doesn't seem good for any of them IMO.

They are all four disgusting and not entertaining at all... rather just awful to watch and listen too. I sat through maybe 10 minutes and turned to another channel.
