Dr Christian puts on a 3 stone fat suit to test what being obese feels like.

Dr Pixie pulls some funny faces as usual

Well worth a watch for motivation.

My sister weighed herself when she was almost 9 months pregnant, and calculated her BMI. She was of course about 2 or 3 stone over the normal weight and I remember her saying how uncomfortable and tiring it must be for people who are actually 3 stone overweight all the time, not through pregnancy!

I've seen clips of Embarrassing Fat Bodies (though I have never sat through a whole episode). It's good if it motivates you. I know it's intended to be informative but it feels a bit voyeuristic watching stuff like that. The people who agree to go on the programme are very brave.

I have followed this blog on and off for a few years, the amazing 39 stone cyclist.

Gary is now 13 stone and was on the embarrassing bodies show last week as he has so much saggy skin to remove. He had some removed but the result wasn't what you would call great.

Here's the episode. His bit starts at 9 minutes 50 seconds in.
