Fat march on monday



Recommended Posts

:mad:I had all my hopes up that this fat march reality TV show was gonna be more positive kinda like welcome home series positive rather than just showing whinning pathtic morbid obese people who r not active and only form of exercise they got was walking to the refrigerator. I was saying to my self I am obese but heck I work as a emt and I do more than walk to the refrigerator and eat and whine .. I am out there saving lives at 241 lbs and was doing that at 295 lbs in fact. I was so shocked that anyone could think a man that was 500 plus pounds could walk 575 miles let only 13 miles in 2 days? ends up getting stress fracture Was so sad.. and I cried .. I was so mad that accomindations were tents and sleeping on the ground? that is cruel .. I could not get up in am and rush off to work if I was sleeping on the cold hard ground .. but then I am 48 and I feel my age .. Proper rest is just important to weight loss along with a proper diet /exercise but heck what do I know I had to have weight loss surgery hence my lap band..

Anyone else have comments on the show?

What channel is the show on? I have not heard of it but you piqued my curiosity. It does sound outrageous.

You know, I watched it the first time, an i thought, "MAybe...this had some potential..." but after watching it tonight, I totally think it doesn't. I guess I shouln't be suprised, it is very dense of me to think that there would be a tv show, especially on basic television that truly wanted to help people or encourage them rather than exploit them. In my opinion that is exactlly what it does. It didn't seem to take any of the "marchers" personal issues into consideration (even physical trainers and doctors do this!) And it seemed to pit the walkers against each other for "drama", and then when someone seemed to really break out and take her heath into her own hands an get excite about the exercise, she was belittled and picked on by not only the other marchers, but also the "trainers" (or whoever those loud abusive skinny people are). And was told she wasn't part of the team, and was annoying. Far be it for someone to enjoy themselves, since we all KNOW how much fat people should hate exercise! I'm just really bummed, I was looking forward to seeing it, and I rarely follow the reality thing, and now I know why. It is a bummer that this show coul really be great and overweight people coul empathize and relate to the people on it, but instead they are exploited as fat and lazy, needing strict constant critisism, and complaining nonstop. The people it could help, it turns off, and the people with bad attitudes about overweight-ness, it just reinforces that. All for the love of money. Shame shame.

Sorry I am all over the place here, when I get angry I cannot say what I mean as well as I'd like. Two big thumbs down from this avid walker (and I love it! )

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
