Would you go on Oprah.....

NO. But I only say that because I am thin, svelte and perfectly proportioned. Why don't they have tv shows for THAT! LOL

I don't think I can do that. I'll let the opportunity pass since I will just regret showing my body. These shows have to give the person who agrees to have a make over a bit of respect. Just because they are helping him/her does not give them the right to ask the person disrobe and be taped or photographed for the public. The audience can see the person is overweight even with the wardrobe on. And perhaps, they can take measurements and that is safer to record. I understand they want to be realistic and truthful to the audience but if that would compromise the person's sensibilities or even if he/she is willing still something is not right. They have to think of another way.

No... I would not go on any TV show. First because I value my privacy. Second... because I have pride. A little word which seem to be on the road to extinction. My generation and generations before mine had a lot of pride. Particulary in Europe where I came from. For someone like me... it is a real culture shock to see the lack of pride in the American and Australian culture. Pride has its disavantages... as it holds you back and makes you a bit of an introvert. But on the other hand... if you have no pride... nobody will respect you or take you seriously. Pride is a form of self respect. If you don't respect yourself... how can you expect anyone else to respect you? From the little I have seen of those people going on that sort of shows... those people don't have a brain to start with... and without a brain... humiliation don't hurt very much. They are more likely to tell the audience to "get F.." than to cry. Because that the sort of people they are.

I would definitely love to get help and advice from the experts. However, I do not think I would do that with the whole world watching. I value my privacy and I do not think I would love being publicly humiliated. I do not have the guts to be publicly exposed in that manner.

no way would i do this. there is no reason to humiliate people. it is bad enough they need to lose weight as do i but why do they have to shame themselves in the process? totally not necessary. i would love it otherwise as i need help but would not want to be away from my son.

I would certainly consider it. If I were paid for doing so that is. Or if what they were offering in the form of personal trainers and other stuff was way beyond my means and there was no other way I could get it. There are a lot of those types of shows around these days. I'm sorry to say that they don't appeal to me and I never watch them. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't do it if they asked me to!

i am not sure. I think if i was really overweight and needed to lose it for my health I would go. I could stand to drop a few pounds now, but i am not now nor do i think i would be humiliated if i showed my body now. I got me a tummy and of course there is cellulite, but i love my body.

If someone else was paying for me to lose weight with personal trainers, diet plan, beauty consultants and the lot, of course I would do it. I would make sure I worked my butt off too and if the whole world saw me, then fine - wait till they seem me AFTER the weight is off - one hot smoking mama I HOPE hahahahaha!

i would love the expert help and advice that is given on those type of shows but I am afraid that I wouldn't go on tv to get it! Let someone who feels more comfortable in the spotlight and in front of cameras do that! xxx

I do not think that I would ever consider something like this. It would definitely be very humiliating. I mean, the world will be watching and you just do not know what audiences are saying about you. If I were to do anything like this, I would rather do it in private.

Not a chance. It makes me wonder why some people do I personally couldn't no way. Ellie :D

Nope I could never do it. I am trying to love myself just as I am now. Why go to such extremes, just for the search of perfection. Well I am not perfect and nor do I wish to be perfect. I have spent to many years all worried about such things, when I was a teen I was about as close to anerexia as you can get. I never ate and was very thin. So now at this stage in life, I just want to feel comfy in my own skin. What others think and feel does not matter so much any more.

kbourgerie great discussion I had to think on this. no I would love all that help to lose weight but no not the publicity . that would just undo me completely. I am a private sort of person not given to showing myself off at all. I would probably be able to stick to thediet as I have to do some sort of thing like that all the time for my diabetes. But to be a public spectacle no matter how great the progress no I do not think I could make that as its just not me. I know lots of people would love all that hoopla but it would make me very nervous.

I always wanted to be on the biggest loser but think i am way too shy and have mood swings . I do think sometimes i would need a little push

I think I would do anything to lose weight. I am embarrassed now to look how I do. I think it would be wonderful to have all that free help to do it right. I think with that kind of incentive, I could maintain any weight loss and lifestyle change that they helped me make. I started a discussion a long time ago about free complete makeovers, like that show The Swan, and would you let them do all that stuff to you as long as it was free. I think I would. I would love to look and feel better about myself.

No way. I can't stand those types of shows anyway, but why on earth expose yourself to all that ritual humiliation just for 15 minutes worth of fame. I suspect that people do it for the exposure and not for the weight loss. Mind you, if you go on I shall definitely watch. LOL. Not that you need to. (Nearly embarrassed my self there).

hello my mylot friend! No I wouldnt be willing to. I dont want to make my problems public for millions to see.If I felt like I wanted to fix something about myself I would, go to counseling if it was for a realationship, and if it was for loosing weight I would join the gym get a trainer and get on a diet. Plus I dont like speaking in front of a large amount of people.

Oh no, I would not go on any TV show just to lose weight, I think it would be so embarrassing for me to publicly show how much fat I have in my body!

A big no. Not on television, it would be so embarrasing

I actually tried out to be on The Biggest Loser. I don't think i could go on Dr. Phil or Oprah because that seems it would be focusing me on but with a group of others around with the same goal of losing weight and being healthy i could do it. Having the thought of public humiliation if i were able to stick to it would only make me try harder to stick the regiment. As for if it would be worth, i sure hope it would be if i got my desired results. My thing is many people see me every day and know that i have body fat and cellulite, Whats the difference if a few thousand more strangers know it as well? The thing that needs to be remembered is that the viewing audience are strangers we will more than likely never meet so why would there opinion of me effect my desired goal?
