This is a delightful and very funny series which is about a group of people who attend s slimming group. This was an ITV series 2000 to 2005, hence why these actors look so young.
Its really worth watching especially if like me you belong to a slimming group, altho' our slimming group isn't a bit like this one, where gains are announced to shame the person!
I don't think that would encourage me to keep to the diet plan, but then neither does hearing some younger members, who swim, jog, or run miles each week losing 4 plus pounds each week, compared to my 1 or 1/2 pound loss.
It makes me feel like giving up as they are praised and win the Slimmer of the Week basket. I don't want the basket, but now and then it would be nice to be praised for always attending and always trying!
I won't have had a loss this week, as we did the whole Easter celebrations with Hot Cross buns, the full Easter Lamb roast and I even ate some chocolate!
Its one of those dieting stories, I can keep to the diet, except for Christmas, Birthdays, Easter, Bank Holidays, Holidays and every week that has a d.a.y in it!
What about you?

Ps, Fat Friends are on NETFLIX
I agree. My husband says calories enjoyed with friends do not count!
ReplyDeleteWe currently have the coughing virus so my daughter kindly added us to her Netflix account for £4.99 a month. Fat Friends has been wonderful to watch and I am now on series 4. Kay Mellor was spot on with her writing about “fat clubs” and it’s interesting seeing how lots of the actors have progressed. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI've got that flipping virus too. It's miserable
DeleteI have tried a few diets, most of them successful to be honest, but long term I always bounce back to the same default weight. I think my body is trying to tell me something.
ReplyDeleteI used to love this series the first time it was shown, and I've noticed it as a popular view on Netflix just recently, so I think I'll give it another watch. It's a lot more light-hearted than the old Silent Witness episodes I've been binge watching over the last week or so.
I've never heard of this show, but I would relate - been part of those groups too!
ReplyDeleteI have given up berating myself about weight and try to stay healthy at the weight I am.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me when it comes to getting slimmer. Too old and sore to do brisk exercise.
