Description
Where your loved ones help you take the weight off
Willpower, friendships and relationships are put to the ultimate test in this new weight loss format with a heart, as several seriously overweight people set out to lose weight and save their life, while competing for a cash prize.
Our overweight contestants are paired with a personal trainer and dietician who’ll advise them on setting achievable weight loss goals. Whist at home, their friend or relative will keep them on track as they rigorously give it all they’ve got before they confront the scale at the end of the week. Each week, five new participants compete against each other. The one with the least weight shed is eliminated. There are 8 weeks of competition, 8 winners and 45 contestants in total.
The show culminates with the two finalists being asked to return home for three months before appearing in the grand finale. After intense training and steady dieting, the finalists will reappear completely transformed – much healthier and happier – but only one will be crowned the winner for losing the most weight.
