Amigas Unidas Contra o Peso

I started out being attracted to the title thinking it would be fun but it is actually an insightful, empowering, encouraging and supportive television program. God bless these friends who support each other through the good times and the challenging times.

One of the few inspirational shows on television.

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'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.

I hate to be negative Nancy, but Tina you're completely pathetic, we are talking about weight loss surgery. Do you know how many weight loss surgeries happens daily? I think it's just absolutely crazy that you saw three of your Best friends successfully complete weight, loss surgery and you still didn't have the courage to go through with it. I absolutely think it was completely disrespectful that you did not inform Ashley that you were not going and allow her to wake up to that news the least you could've done was be there for her at the hospital. You clearly didn't think everything through. You let your fears get the best of you. Which you already said you were done with that. It's clear that you absolutely need surgery. You're worried about the negativity of surgery but what about the negativity that you're dealing with now not being there for your kids and husband how you want to be there? It's the same difference. Now you're the fat friend of the group you're going to be the biggest one. And it's going to be a struggle. Smh.

I love the women and support their struggles with weight loss. What I can't support is Meghan. Her and Jon need to stop being lazy and think about others. Maybe I'm seeing this wrong but that's how their storyline is coming off as selfish and self absorbed. Please do not write her crying whining storyline in next season!!!!! Absolutely love me some Vanessa and Ashley!! Tina, I know you a good friend, but your husband and family comes first. Vanessa I am rooting for Jacob as well as you and the rest of the girls. Also, Vanessa I haven't heard you say anything about Werner this season. Love the show and hope it continues!
