Fat Friends

 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?

I agree. My husband says calories enjoyed with friends do not count!

We 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

I 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.

I 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!

I have given up berating myself about weight and try to stay healthy at the weight I am.

You sound like me when it comes to getting slimmer. Too old and sore to do brisk exercise.
