1000-lb Best Friends

I've also watched My 600 lb Life and 1000 lb Sisters and similar shows. This is my favorite and better than both of those shows. The four women are all very likeable. They are at times very insightful about their issues, and while they struggle and are not always successful, they seem more emotionally mature than the Slatons or the people on My 600 lb Life. They are great models for what fat positivity should be. They work towards self-love and living full lives while also working towards improving their bodies.

I loved this show from the beginning because I really liked Meghan's spunk and sense of humor. She felt so honest and real.......now she's just real in a bad way. When she first began her weight loss, she was all in. She tried to recruit all her friends and family to the weight loss, get healthy program. But, when she started to slide backwards, she became a completely different, very unlikeable, whining, childish, brat. It was everyone's fault but hers. Last year when she moved in with Tina, I was just apalled. She was such a leach. She never contributed and just got in the way at every turn. Then there was the burst water pipe disaster. What did Meghan do? She moved into the same hotel room as Tina, her husband and all her kids! Again, she did absoutely NOTHING to contribute, but whined when she wasn't being taken care of continuously. What kind of friend is that? It's obvious to everyone that she is putting a strain on her friend's marriage, but she could care less as long as she is getting what SHE wants. I was curious how the new season would pan out, and, wouldn't you know it, it starts off with Meghan and Ashley ganging up against Vanessa like a couple of mean girls. They say it is because of Vanessa's attitude, but it's just good, ole fashioned jealousy, and they are acting like spoiled brats instead of grown women. I won't be watching the show any longer if it is going to be centered around this obnoxious person. Vanessa is right by saying that they knew what kind of person she was since high school. She's a lot to take sometimes, but it's just who she is. It's THEIR attitudes that have taken a turn for the worst. Watching them roll their eyes and whisper in the corner behind her back when it's so obvious that she's hurting, makes me want to throw up in my mouth. This isn't kindergarten! Grow up!

Now we have 4 people that SAY they want to lose weight, but, in actuality all they really want to do is the least amount of work (the actual losing of weight), just so they can have surgery! None of them really try to put the work in. Only about 4-5 days right before they weigh in, finally they start acting like they're supposed to be every day. You can't diet 4 days a month. You have to change your lifestyle and I don't see one of them willing to.

I lost 65 pounds during the pandemic in 16 months. You can do anything you really want to do without surgery.

Amazing that their only goal is to get to surgery. Like that's supposed to be the magic bullet! Doesn't work that way, look at the 2 that have already had the surgery. It's easy to sabotage the surgery and I think that's what they've done and now begging for another surgery. Such sheer nonsense and stupidity.

I've tried to watch 1000 lb sisters for years but frankly it's so slow-with 1000 on bffs every episode has numerous plot points that matter, the characters are odd but compelling, my friend and I have to watch every week, we're obsessed. I NEED a season 3 or I'll spiral-the twist of Vanessa being the s1 villain and Meghan being the s1 hero to Vanessa being the s2 hero and Meghan being the s2 pseudo villain is giving us life. Keep it up ladies and TLC LET US HAVE THIS. Is it contrived with the activities? Absolutely. Is it great television? YES. I need to see Tina kick out Meghan, I need to see Vanessa get skin removal if she chooses, I need the absurdity of a drag queen confidence class. This is for some reason the only show I watch live anymore.

This show is awesome its all about empowerment I love it. The fact that the other review on here called these beautiful women animals shows how disgusting people can be and why shows like this need to be here and empower other women to get healthy.
