  1. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I kinda feel stupid to be honest. But hey, I guess it doesn't hurt to try. I just turned 31 on July 24th. I spent my birthday at the doctors. Getting treated and put on medications for severe anxiety and depression. I was put on the scale and it read 170, in the doctors own words, I was told I was not just over weight but that i was obese. It might not be as much as others who probably deserve the help more than I do, but either way, it was a hard to see and hear. I'm a really short girl. Like 5ft. So seeing those numbers were mind blowing. I guess my depression, anxiety and weight gain goes back to traumatic experiences I had as a child thay were never delt with. I'm a stay at home mom, I have 5 children, all who i homeschool. My last two were twins, so they took and still take a pretty good amount of my energy if not all of it. My diet consists of literally Redbull and junk food since I'm constantly trying to keep up with them, feeding them, teaching, playing with them. Just everything. I really have no time to sit down and eat most of the times. About a year ago I lost my license due to fainting while driving. Thankfully it was just my self and husband in the vehicle at the time. I was checked for everything heart related or blood clots that could have caused it but was found with nothing. Doctors say fainting is due to my anxiety and my stress. Turns out it's one of the many symptoms. I'm stressed because of my weight but with my life I honestly don't know how to kick start it. My weight is effecting me in so many ways. My husband of 13 years and I are on the verge of getting a divorce because of me. I dont feel comfortable with my self let alone let anyone look at me or touch me. We have been separated for over 3 years now. He wants to work things out but I don't know. I guess my thoughts are if you can't love yourself, how could anyone els. You get me. I feel useless. I hate how I feel and how I look. I have a gym membership I never use. I wouldn't even know how to use anything besides the treadmill. I don't even know what else to say. I seriously just hate life right now. I feel disgusting. Giving up just seems so much easier.

  2. Hi, my name is Grace. I'm 31 yrs old, 5.10 in hight, now 312lbs, married with 2 kids, 11 and 4 years old. I haven't been obese all my life. I was actually quit skinny all my childhood up until age 19. I got pregnant with my son. Gained some weight, and lost a lot of it again. Then few years after gained a lot more because of being stressed and more verbally abused from my first husband. I've struggle with weight lost, going up and down. I weighed about 268 lbs before getting pregnant with my daughter, from my lovely second husband. I gained quit a bit during that pregnancy and have been struggling since to loose weight. My physician told me to eat healthy, exercise more and try working a day shift job, as I had been working night shift all those years. My recent lab test shows that I'm at a pre-diabetic stage and I would give everything I've got in me to go back to been healthier to do more with my family, enjoy life more. I have a lot of love and support from my husband and I'm very happy, but would love to feel lighter and less tired. Having this opportunity will definitely be a blessing to me and my family.
    Thank you for your consideration!

  26. I am writing for my sister in law, Christine. She has no idea! She is one of the most wonderful woman I know! She has struggled with her weight since I believe she was a teenager. She is now 27. She has given many diets a try. She does have the will to success and she will make progress to only end up needing more tools to further her weight. She and my brother had their first born about 2.5 years ago. My sister in law is so scared of her own daughter "turning out like her [me]". They are ready to add another little one to their beautiful family but my sister in law wants to get her weight and health in check. She is already scared of being strong and healthy for her family of three. I truly be that if Christine had guidance from every aspect of weight loss journey through nutrition and fitness she WILL succeed. I know my sister in law is beautiful in and out, I just want her to finally feel it. Thank you for your time!

  28. Hi! My name is Tiana. I am 19 years old and I weight 189 lbs with high blood pressure. I have struggled with my wieght for as long as I could remember and it truly scares me that I am almost 200 pounds. My freshman year of college is when my weight got completely out of control. I am the oldest of three girls being raised by a single mom…you can say money is tight. I took a year off of school so I can work and help out my mom as much as I can. Other than my mom, I am the only other person working a full time job. I have no time to ever really focus on my health, physically and mentally. Being on the go all the time I tend to grab the quick and easy meals… all that arent great for me. Diabetes and high blood pressure run on both sides of my family. About four people in my family currently have diabetes. I do not want to be another statistic. I am ready to push my self to limits my body has never been pushed. Im ready to shead the pounds and keep them off. I want to finally after 19 years feel comfortable in my own skin. I am ready to be vulnerable and show people that they can be their better selves. Im ready to show MYSELF that I can be a better me. This opportunity would be one of the biggest blessings I could receive.

  35. Hi I'm 32 and the mother to two amazing kids. I had a rough childhood. My mother was a single mom with 3 girls one of which has significant disabilities. She tried her best to make sure we were all taken care of but we ended up moving a lot due to being evicted. She got into a relationship with a cop when I was in 4th grade who abused. My younger sister and myself. He then tried to kill our mother. We moved in with my grandmother and things got better. I had my daughter at 20 and her father didn't stick around. She ended up having very significant disabilities due to having Joubert Syndrome which is a genetic disorder that effects the cerebellum. We struggled for a few years with me trying to go to college and being there for my little girl. We met my future husband when she was 2 and welcomed her little brother a year later he was perfect. But the stress of raising two kids with out help as my boyfriend lived in Massachusetts and I lived in Florida took a toll. I suffered severe depression after the birth of my son. I gained a lot of weight. I currently weigh 276 pounds I'm 5'2 and I'm struggling to have the energy for my kids. Please help me

  43. Im 38 & no kids. Im 350lbs and 5'6. I have diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea (use bipap machine). Im in school to be an RN but have been told that other RNs bully other nurses due to their weight. Im willing to give my all and lose this weight without having to result to surgery. I have loat alot of my confidence and no longer like to go anywhere but my bedroom due to my weight. Im afraid people look at my fiancee and I and see the #10. I wonder if their snickers and giggles and stares are about my weight because my fiancee is smaller than me. She doesnt mind my weight but I do. Inused to love shopping but now i dont. Jeans give me a camel toe.. I know gross… I hate wearing stretch pants all the time. My weight is too much for my feet to wear my heels. My feet get swollen being on them all day. Shirts arent long enough without belly hanging out underneath. My back hurts because of my big chest and belly combined. I cant shave all my lady parts… Im desperate now.

  44. My name is Lindsay I am an ex Navy wife, who has devoted her life to her kids. After leaving a 4 yr long abusive relationship I have noticed that I have packed on the pounds… I've always been thick and curvy but over the yrs have become as the doctors call it "MORBIDLY OBESE" I have issues accepting this and know that if given the right tools could change it. I'm noticing more and more that my weight is physically holding me back from a happy life mentally, physically, and especially being able to make sure my kids have a healthy happy life. It's hard for me to do daily tasks such as coming off the floor from a sitting position, moping and sweeping the floors. I find it difficult to try to do the weight loss on my own as idk how to fit all this healthy stuff into my everyday life as busy as it is… I have a non-profit organization that I'm trying to build and two custody battles that I opened up, and trying to stay on top of my sons education and keep him on this fast track he's on for collegiate classes at the age of 11. I'm highly motivated individual when I know what I'm doing, but I need tools to do this right for life… I would love to be on your tv show I'm a beautiful person on the inside and I'm always told I have a pretty face… I want to be beautiful on the outside too… I'm tired of the put downs.. the looks… people telling me it's inappropriate for me to wear cleavage shirts because I'm big.. but knowing full well if I were several sizes smaller it wouldn't be an issue… I want the freedom of mobility that weight loss would give me… I have gained almost all my weight back since having a car, but I lost 100 lbs in about 8-9 months the other yr. And it felt great ( that was just from walking everywhere) I loved that feeling. For a long time I was able to breathe better, walk farther, and have less aches and pains all over my body… the weight came back because i didn't do anything to live healthy… now I don't like showing my body, I've changed my hair to hide myself, and I just feel so nasty… the biggest part that mentally hold me back I think is my belly after having 3 kids all by c-sections… I have this huge flap of skin ( if you ever watch the movie click where he loses the weight after the coma "the flappy stomach " that's me in a nut shell… I used to be strong before I had kids… when I was 18-24 I could bench as a woman with no training or exercise 200-250 lbs. Now I cant even pick up my son that weighs 110 lbs ( oh and that's another issue my oldest son is starting to take on my bad eating habits, he is 11 and weighs 110lbs mind you he's stacked pretty solidly… but if he doesn't stop he's gonna be just like me) please bless me and my family with the right tools to set our lives straight… we just need the proper tools, a lil help or push in the right direction… we are a strong, motivated, and once our mind are set dedicated family.

    1. Btw I forgot to add my proportions
      I'm 30 yrs old
      I weight 286lbs
      And I'm 5ft 2
      I wear a size 22-24 pant
      Or a 3x-4x outfit
      And a 2-3x shirt
      Many clothes I have sit in my closet because they don't fit me anymore…
      I wear bid frumpy clothes most of the time now just to hide my body. I'm tired of hiding… I don't mind being curvy or even a lil big… but I'm tired of being fat, nasty, huge, obese, and not being able to do the things that I love… I used to paint but because of my body and my ailments brought on by my sheer mass I can't even do that anymore. Many times I would paint with my kids to pass the time and even that has been taken from them because of my bad Choices with my health.

      1. Oh and now I weigh 286 but when I lost the weight I went down to 220 or so from 330 lbs. I'm almost at my biggest again and really feel the need to lose the weight

  45. Hello. I really don't know why I'm writing except that I just watched a man who lost his son, his fiancée and his home, still have a reason to celebrate his 50th birthday because he lost 172 lbs. thanks to you. My husband walked out on me 6 years ago, my mother had a hemorrhagic stroke 3 months later, I lost my job 2 months after that and my father passed a year ago. I have always been heavy and done the ups and downs of dieting. The problem now is that I'm a 66 year old retired nurse who is hypertensive, and an insulin dependent diabetic. I've never seen you help someone as old as me and fear that these medical issues may automatically disqualify me. But I have a lot of life yet to live. I came out of retirement to take on the challenge of a new career in the school system of our crime-plagued city where 8 people have been murdered by the end of January 2017. My job is huge in trying to reshape the morals and values of young people who have grown up in horribly bent realities who will graduate into a world their lives haven't prepared them to navigate successfully. I want to demonstrate that it's never too late to try what seems impossible like I did for my own children in going back to college to obtain my master's degree at 53. Defeating this weight would be that demonstration. We live in a time when young people need persons who care enough to get involved. I find myself physically struggling to keep going though my heart and mind know how needed I am. I hope that you agree.

  46. Hello Im a 21 yr old college student. I have been over weight the majority of my life . I have been moridly obese for a number of years now. I have acid reflux, hypoglycemia, and high blood pressure. I have wanted bariatric surgery for years but can not afford it. I do not have insurance. I know my weight is holding me back in so many ways. I want a new life…please help me!

  47. I never in all my life imagined that I could get this fat and uncomfortable with myself, especially without a spouse or children. But the pains and sufferings I have endured within an horrific post-Civil Rights Movement Sociopolitical Hostage Crisis contributed to my gross weight gain. I need to lose the weight to regain optimal health, and I'm ready now to start on my weight loss journey. Transformation is what I really need just to become my own self again after also being grossly victimized by a brutal Bioterrorism Attack.

  48. Hey I'm 26 yrs old and I'm 379lbs. I suffer from depression and lack of energy. After losing friends and family members I became very depressed I stopped walking around my neighborhood and I stopped exercising. I try to his the fact that I have very low self esteem about myself because I'm just not happy with my weight at all. I'm too young to weigh this much it's not good for my health. I have really bad asthma and it becomes very hard for me to breath or catch my breathe at times. I just really want to be happy and become very excepting of myself and my body. I would like to be in control of what I eat and how I eat. I want happiness and I any to be able to become active with my nephew, nieces, and my god son. I really just want to life weight and gain my life back. I want to be happy again.

  49. Hello, my names Derek Ferguson
    I'm currently 23 years of age going on 24.
    I have struggled with my weight since I was a kid. Hoping it would just come off as I got older but as I got older the weight started gaining more and more. I'm currently 333 pounds. Because of the weight I am type 2 diabetic, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and I suffer from a thyroid problems. The weight has made me severely depressed and causes me to have anxiety attacks. I have tried losing the weight before and succeeded in losing 45 pounds but gained it all back and some. I just really need some help. I want my life back. I need to change before itshe honestly to late

  50. Hi, I'm a 23 year old female from South Africa weighing 119kg, I have honestly tried almost every diet out there, some of them work but aren't sustainable and some are sustainable but are way too expensive. Living with my granny I constantly gain weight as the food is expensive, eating vegetables is seen as a luxury. I also exercise but not as much as I would like to, I really need help or I'm never going to reach my goal wait.

  51. Hi
    I'm 40 yrs old and 266lb 5'7" my BMI is 39 and am desperate to loose weight to get IVF
    I have an under active thyroid and am finding it so hard to loose the weight

  52. Hello my name is David I am a 30 year old father of 2 and husband to an amazing wife im currently 6'2 and 370lbs ive struggeled with my weight after highschool ive always been fit and into sports my whole life i take instruction very well and im very competitive i think id be a great fit for the show.

  53. I'm elise I'm 30yrs old I have a 4 yr old daughter
    Im about 370 I'm having a real problem with my. Weight I would like to have more kids but because of this overweight it's impossible to have any more I've noticed the way people look and treat me when your fat people have the tendencie to treat u with less respect I've become depressed and not wanting to show my face around. That's so sad because growing up it didn't matter what u looked like it is who u r as a person that matters when I was thin I always looked at the person for how they were not what they looked like thank u

  54. I am a 52 year old mother of 3 and grandmother of 9 (and have been raising my 1 granddaughter since she was 4 months old and now is 10 years old) she is my second reason for needing this, I am the first reason. I am 5'2" and weigh 310 lbs. I struggle to have enough energy to even get out of the bed in the mornings to take her to school. I have had a lot of accidents and operations which honestly, one should of had me in a wheelchair for the rest of my life ( a horseback riding accident). I have had a total knee replacement, which is great, better than my original knee. I have been on just about every diet out there from the cookie diet to Paleo to Adkins to Weight Watchers (numerous times). My husband of 34 years weighs 135 lbs. and has all his life. He doesn't get my weight struggle. He tells me he loves me for whats on the inside but he doesn't see the ugliness that I see inside and out. I would say I an happy with where I am in my life, own my home, have great kids and grand kids but I am extremely unhappy with me. The granddaughter that we have custody of shows hunter jumper horses and I cannot keep up. My husband does all the work because I have a hard time walking, breathing and bending over and lifting with everything that needs to be done before during and after her shows. My mother just passed away leaving me an orphan and lost. The depression is real, I feel like I will never lose the weight on my own. I joined a gym but it hard with my injuries, the trainers honestly don't know what to tell me to do. They want me to just walk on the treadmill or they tell me I can use any piece of equipment, which I know I can't. I need someone to drive me, to push me, to get to honestly know me and direct me. I have always put my friends and others first and now I realize I am getting older and it's my time. I need the help not someone else. Everyone in my family had Diabetes, heart disease, COPD and I do not have those problems and I DO NOT want to have them. My brother had a massive heart attack and died while in the VA Hospital, he weighed over 400 lbs. @ 6' 3". My mom had ovarian cancer, beat it then died from heart disease, she was 6' 1". Everyone in my family was over 6' tall but me I'm stuck at 5' 2". I want to be healthy and happy. I am so willing and ready to to do the work that Chris assigns. I have so much to live for, I know I will be his best student ever! Which in turn I hope will motivate my son and daughter to make the necessary changes in their lives to lose the weight they need to. They are both beautiful people inside and out but unfortunately because of my negativity towards my appearance, they are following suit. I would do anything to have Chris change my life!

  55. I had never heard of the show prior to a couple of weeks ago. I happened across my wife watching the show and asked what it was about. I sat and watched the rest of that episode and the next two with my wife. I love the idea and it made me want to start taking my weight more seriously. I'm pretty heavy and hate it and have been half-heatedly dieting off and on for years. I had no idea that this level of success was possible within a year. I have so many reasons I want to succeed and seeing these other individuals succeed motivates me. Thank you for that. I appreciate, ironically, your TV show.

I can barely recognize myself when I look in the mirror, even people who used to know me do not recognize me anymore. I suffer from anxiety and it's gotten worse as the weight packed on.

Please consider me, I'd be a great contestant.

I'm tired all the time though and I desperately want to get my life back together and be the fun, outgoing Mom that my boys deserve.

  67. I am an octopus. I am constantly doing 8 things at once.. for my three kids, their teachers, my boss, my spouse, my neighbors and our dog. I am NEVER doing anything for me. I love to write. I have a book that has been almost finished since before my twins were born. The twins turned 19, and when people say it gets easier…. THEY LIE! I may not be changing diapers, but now I am fielding calls from colleges about my kids, and trying to avoid the coaches seeing ME… the overweight mom who will cause them to question my kids' abilities. I want to give 100% to making my life better, so that when I come back home, I can be better at making sure at least part of the day is for ME. Of course I want the same things all overweight women want… but maybe I want more…. I want to wear denim cutoffs and cowboy boots to the PTA meeting so other moms talk (for once) about THAT, instead of how much I might weigh, and I want to feel like helping THEM wanting to wear something equally inappropriate! And as much as I love my mom…. I don't want people asking if I'm her sister!

    I am a doer, a hustler, and while my confidence level has taken a major beating, I have always been outgoing and optimistic. I want to feel hopeful about my health, and my fitness, and I want to sit in front of my daughters potential college coaches instead of hiding behind a phone. I want to run across the road when a stray dog needs rescued, and I want to know that I could run away from danger if I had to. I can't do those things now. I wasted a lot of my childrens' lives on the sidelines… and I am done. I want to move onto the field. I want to be able to play with the next generation of kids and critters that will be in my life. I want to make sure that "I" am here for that life.

    I need help to accomplish this. I don't want to be the fat red head anymore. I just want to be the mom with red hair. I have the hair…. I just need to change the body!

  68. I currently weigh 14st 9lb.. I have struggled with my weight all my life.. I was told I couldn't have children 2 years ago and had to have a hysterectomy and would never have a baby.. I felt so empty and unsure of my future as I was overweight and wanted to be normal..I need help and guidance to make my life complete I'm dedicated and willing to put the work in..
    I would love the chance to become the girl I've only ever dreamed of
    Love vicky from Blackpool England x?
