Is anyone watching this? What are your thoughts on it?
Thought the purpose was about weight but they seem to be focusing on this Penelopes money and her designer clothes for some reason.
Not sure if they are trying to prove or disprove slimming clubs. Bit of a confusing one for me.

The club was only the first 6 weeks, it only works if you are really, really strict and don't cheat as you only cheat yourself, since the the club stopped I've been using myfitnesspal and that keeps me motivated. Listening to the woman listing her diet diary, no way is she going to lose weight over the long term, it's about changing your whole relationship with food.
WOW Well done you!! Very good. Good luck with the rest.
As for this documentary I am just not sure what it is trying to show or is that kind of the point - we make our own mind up.
I am not going to preach that SW is the best as different people find different plans suit them, but I have had the most success on Slimming world and eat far healthier. My diet consists mainly of lean meats and fresh vegetables with some carbs - mainly potatoes and brown rice (which are both free on SW) as I am really not a pasta fan.
Its also quite realistic about how people do diet.
The World of Weight Loss.
The nurses made me laugh, as did Sharon - "I'm in control, just not right now" (I mean laugh in a good way )
It was a bit hard to know whether the interviewer was sympathetic, or taking the piss.
I wonder if it's the same people next week, or a new set.
I don't know - an earlier post said it was a first episode, so I went with that.
I did go, to SW and lost a stone, but I find that I was constantly directed to the supermarket and I don't use them, too much temptation and too expensive. I buy local but it's hard to find similar things. It's not my thing at all and caused me undue irritation with the complicated set up and I can't find the patience in WW with it's high salt, e numbered own brand food. I just do it myself now with dog walking, kettle bells and sensible food and it's stayed off. Rosemary Conley looked the better of them, at least it included exercise.
Thank you, it really is a lifestyle change, but the change is just so worth it, not being breathless walking up stairs, having more energy generally, moobs going back to pecks, having a waist instead of a belly.
Generally I don't see the results as much as other people, that is until I realise I can wear clothes I hadn't been able to get into for 10 years and having to buy new clothes because the old ones look ridiculous.
Oh possibly just a one off! I just caught it on an off chance.
To the sarcastic but correct comment of saying it was showing the world of weight loss. I am glad we cleared that up :rolleyes:
It was a one-off. And very good it was too.
I was dissapointed with the lady who felt guilty about having scampi and chips during an 8 mile walk, since she had nothing to be guilty about. As long as your diet is healthy in general, having the odd treat is perfectly fine and even normal. It also stops you from having 'issues' with some food, all food should be enjoyed, you just need to eat more of the low calorie, low fat and no sugar stuff.
