Just watching this and having watched previous series, one question always comes to our minds: If these people spend all day cooking and eating mountains of food, as well as buying takeaways in the evenings and washing it down with copious fizzy drinks and alcohol, where the Hell do they get the money from to do it???

and one question in my mind is who brings them the food once they are in hospital or care as they do not appear to be loosing weight there either. I am totally sympathetic to people struggling with their weight and with food in general, but I am wondering whether their so called helpers are actually helping? |

I was going to type that, did you see that girl that was 40stone at 17 i think she is, went to america and lost 15 stone came home and her mum said she had nothing healthy in so they had fish and chips. Just a form of child abuse in my eyes.
Yes ive always struggled with my weight and been well overweight but there is being overweight and being bedbound/not being able to function normally. |

It s a tough one and I do empathise with anybody who is struggling with food and in fact any other addiction - however, there is being overweight and still being mobile... and there is being bedridden and unable to do anything for yourself.Not casting a stone I really do wonder how this happens as it does not happen overnight? |

There are some people (quite a lot) who do not want help to lose weight or learn how to shed pounds (or stones).
Yes some people have health issues that do stop them losing weight but on the whole there are a lot more who can't be bothered & think the NHS will look after them if they get ill.

To be honest, unless someone is morbidly obese, why should they be made to feel they have to lose weight? If they are healthy and eat well and move more and just happen to be a stone or two over their 'ideal' weight (ideal for whom I wonder?) then why should they be made to feel like they are a freak?
I am not talking about the huge people on these programmes who are obviously ill, but there are people who make themselves unhappy and ill because society insists we should all be sticks. I am 5'10 and weight train and do circuits, yet if I was at my 'ideal' weight I would look ill!
I bet most the men on here love us the way we are. I went to a party where there was a very overweight woman and the guys were queueing up to be with her because she looked fabulous! We need to work it, ladies!  |

If someone is healthy and fit i dont think it matters what size someone is. I wasnt healthy and fit so now im loosing weight.
The supersize people fall into a different catogary, for whatever reason they have no self respect, medication can stop you loosing weight/make you put on weight but not to the extent of these supersized people. If having someone else have to wipe your backside for you doesnt degrade you enough into loosing weight then nothing will.
There was a guy in leicester who used to go to the clubs he must of been around 35 stone and he saw himself as a minor celebrity |

As I said, if someone is obviously unhealthy or unhappy with their weight then thats fine. I lost two stone last year myself and I feel and look a lot better. But I am still considered overweight by doctors and BMI standards. I think the media pressures woman and to a lesser extent men to be fit and buff and thin all the time and no-one considers that being a size 16 can be OK. |

I used to work at Next and the sizes that we always used to run out of first was size 14 and over that shows the average size of women in this country |

We as a nation are getting bigger, so no doubt the 'average' will continue to rise - so ultimately the average doesn't necessarily mean the optimum or healthy. |

I love this programme and dr chris .
It shows people a hell of a lot that they refuse to see, be it to skinny or to fat.
If it helps those taking part then its done its job.
Its just a shame that they have to go onto something like that to get help.
Dr,s give a stupid out of date diet and send you on ya way. |
