I love this show so much. The concept of overwieght people trying to do something about their weight by walking is such a good idea. The only thing that I dislike about the show is when passers by are rude and mean to them for no reason.

I agree, sadly there is alot of nasty people here who feel better about themselves by berating others.... its sad. If more people showed respect and support it would make for a happier country.

People can be very cruel. I'm disabled, use a powerchair but am not paralysed, I have been accused of faking many times because people have seen me move my legs. Many wheelchair users do have some ability to stand & some can walk a little too but theirs quite a lot of people don't realise that. When it comes to overweight people everyone should have been cheering them on for walking, trying to do something about their weight not being cruel to them

[@Tina06019]

Stacey manages to keep going with the group in spite of having an apparently low threshold for pain and suffering. It’s rather surprising.

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

Don't forget about June!

[@UKImmigrationLawGeek]

@@HyperSarcasticAvocado I haven't forgotten. That part was upsetting.

[@UKImmigrationLawGeek]

It also has to do with lifestyle. Hailey was mostly housebound, taking care of her two children. Stacey, on the other hand, was more accustomed to going out and doing things. Thus, I think Stacey felt more comfortable in relation to being part of a group. Hailey (I do not mean this in a rude way) had more of an isolated existence and barely left the house. I think this is one of the reasons why Hailey experienced difficulty.

I can't stand weak whiners who are throwing their health away, particularly the woman who is seen smoking. I wonder if Hayley's BF is still with her.

[@paulstrange9674]

Well-done Stacey for taking on one of the biggest steps in turning your life around. Changing the way you think is the best way to loose weight. I've lost 50 kg my self and after that change in thinking happened, my life changed forever. Well-done to everyone else too.

[@helenlayley]

Hayley was bullied and forced off within the first day of coming back. I would have put her with the more sympathetic Vince and Jack for a couple of days. I think Matt should have helped them with attitude, pacing themselves, and supporting each other.

[@lushpapaya9932]

Hayley was a huge baby, who complained constantly and expected others to carry her through. Theres probably a reason, she doesnt have any friends and its not her weight

[@helenlayley]

@@lushpapaya9932 oh l agree, she was awful but you can see the types of personality traits and behaviours/experiences that have contributed towards the weight gain. I knew someone very similar once. However, she was still treated badly by the others and as teacher/Scout leader l feel that Matt and the unshown production team had a duty of care to support them better with counselling and their expectations of psychological, social and emotional challenges.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

@@lushpapaya9932 She seemed to use her kids as an excuse to eating unhealthy, not excercising and being isolated. And then she was bullied in school, which presumably most in the group have been.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

Though I was impressed when Stacy caught up with them and apologized for her antics. Similar when she backed away from the fish and chips in the pub afterwards. Usually I'd think that most can be approved even if not that often, but perhaps it's necessary with a full stop of the unhealthy foods to stop the craving of it. After all, there so much healthy food that is sound nutritious yet still delicious.

[@Fritzsch82]

I like the idea of making a change but I think the HOW is one of the dumbest ideas ever. When you work out, you increase difficulty bit by bit. Here they go from not walking any significant distance to 500 miles. People prepare for something like this for years, it just seems very dangerous to push overweight lads to do it
