Too Fat for 15: Fighting Back, Season 1

Description

Being overweight isn't easy — especially when you're already dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a typical teen. The inspiring and powerful docu-series Too Fat for 15: Fighting Back brings viewers to the frontlines of the battle against childhood obesity as a group of obese teens struggle to shed hundreds of pounds at America's leading weight loss school. In a last ditch effort to get their kids in control of their weight, families bring their children to Wellness Academy where they explore the mental and physical impact of their obesity. There, the teens face their food addictions, endure grueling fitness routines and conform to a strict low-fat diet — all away from the comforts of home. Will the support of their peers and the camp's staff of coaches, teachers and doctors be enough to help them make the life-changing transformations they need for a more fulfilling future?

This show IS helping people change thier lives. It's not exploiting them; they signed up to be on this show because they needed help! Apparently you people don't know what it's like to be an overweight person (let alone an overweight teenager!), because I bet you'd feel a lot different if you did.
Just sad

This just proves more that Americans like to watch stupid shows to feel good or worse about themselves.
Yay for Exploiting Fat Teens.  :|

This is garbage. It’s pathetic that this show got enough ratings to get a second season. Some people think that shows like this are good because they, supposedly, help people get their lives on track. Well, if you feel that way and you seriously think you’re doing more good than harm then I DARE you to make a show like this for anorexics and a show for bulimics. If you think that making a reality show out of people with compulsive overeating disorders helps others with the same disorder get better then do the community a service (while getting paid for it) and do shows on the other eating disorders…that is…if you really think shows like this actually help. (And don't say that you won't do it because it's not considered an epidemic. Enough people have these eating disorders and die from them to make a difference) *sigh* I just learned about this show because the preview for season 2 is free on iTunes today. How this got two seasons I’ll never know. Hopefully it’ll get canceled.
realistic and inspirational

Unlike other weight loss TV shows, this one shows how hard work pays off, how it can change people, and that the only way to do it is one step at a time.
