Your opinion is different than mine. Your takeaway from the show is different than mine as well.
I think there are probably many very heavy people who believe they can't exercise hard enough or long enough to make a differnece in their fitness. I think this show clearly shows them that they can, that it's possible. Whether they will or not, depends on their motivation.
And, I wasn't comparing the show to C&A in regard to weight loss. I was more comparing it in with regard to giving inspiration and motivation that something can be done if a person wants to do it. Take PeterC for instance. He came her wondering if it was even possible for him to ride a bike at his size, with his current medical conditions. Had he not gotten some confirmation and support here in C&A, he might not be buying a bike right now!
