(New York, NY) – In 2014, Whitney Thore became an overnight YouTube sensation and turned her life upside down when she posted “A Fat Girl Dancing,” but her outspoken personality, successful dance career, No Body Shame Campaign (#nobodyshamecampaign), and newfound love haven’t made her life any easier. In the all-new season of TLC’s MY BIG FAT FABULOUS LIFE, premiering Wednesday, June 8, at 9/8c, Whitney’s back with her usual hilarious and positive outlook on life, but when hidden secrets are revealed, and her family and friends call into question her actions, Whitney faces the challenge of a lifetime.
At 370-lbs, Whitney’s positive body image has her believing that she can be fat and fit, but serious new health scares suggest otherwise and don’t change the reality of Whitney’s situation. Excited about planning her first dance-a-thon, Whitney learns the hard way that her body is not as healthy as she thinks. After being rushed to the hospital for collapsing at the dance studio, Whitney must undergo a major lifestyle transformation. There’s a lot of work to be done in order to get Whitney back in shape, but it’s a team effort to put her excuses aside and make healthy life choices. For the first time ever, Whitney’s friends confront her about the discrepancy between her bad habits and her pro-health message.
In the upcoming season of MY BIG FAT FABULOUS LIFE, Whitney’s fight for a body-positive world isn’t over by a longshot, and the added headache of a different dynamic in the house isn’t making things easier. Whitney finds herself in an awkward situation when Buddy starts dating her best friend. And, on top of it all, Whitney still finds herself in outrageous encounters with her mom, when Babs buys a baby pig and learns how to sext.
Coinciding with the season premiere, Whitney’s memoir, I DO IT WITH THE LIGHTS ON, is an inspiring and utterly honest story of how Whitney discovered happiness when she stepped off the scale and into her life, embracing herself unconditionally – body, heart, and soul. The memoir is published by Ballantine, an imprint of Penguin Random House.”
What do you think? Do you watch My Big Fat Fabulous Life? Will you watch season three?
Why is she still heavy? Who has the $ to keep this show running? It’s a stupid show and what message is she sending to children. I lost my spouse, my mom, my brother, all in 8 mos last year and I need to see her babble on. I watched about 15min of this one day and it’s a really stupid show!
No I started out watching it and at first it was pretty good little humor , then it went south , turned into a sex thing with women and men , had no respect for anyone but herself , was in love with who ever was standing in front of her . Just have no interest in the show any more , but babs Whitneys mother is great and funny and her dad is a total sweetheart
Whitney needs to lose the blonde bits in her hair.. looks terrible and she is a cute girl . She really needs to get back to focusing on her weight.. I don’t care what anyone says life at 370 pounds is not fabulous
I’m sorry but I’m not happy with the turn the show is taking now. If it’s just for ratings, you can keep it, it was bad enough she didn’t know she might be pregnant. It’s not the show it started out as.
I love the show . I am heavy, I agree, she could make better food choices, but unless you have been there, don’t throw stones. I have been motivated by her zest for life. I use to sit around a lot even though I loved to dance and exercise ( I was afraid of a heart attack) , now I move and don’t sit , If some one comes to me and says YOUR FATTTTTTT, I take it as their problem, UM!!!! your hateful, or you would not have the need to SPIT that out your mouth , short and… Read more »
Has Whitney ever said if weight loss surgery would help her? No mater how many times she says she is healthy and anyone can be extremely overweight and be healthy is not true. She has to use breathing assistance while she sleeps due to her weight, she has leg, hip and back problems, is on the verge of being diabetic, needs assistance getting up sometimes and cannot walk or stand this is not healthy. She blames all her weight gain on her illness but she is shown constantly eating food that is unhealthy along with large portions. I don’t think… Read more »
This particular show about Whitney needs to be cancelled. Stat a new reality show about Babs and Glenn. They are fantastic and everyone would love it.
Whitney is a self centered, spoiled brat but I love her parents!
Whitney needs a severe attitude adjustment. She has wonderful friends and the absolute best parents in this world. And she talks to and treats all of them badly. Time to grow up little girl – before you have no one and nothing. And get rid of that thing you call Lenny.
I just forced myself to sit through 25 min. of this horrific program and I am just appalled at how ungrateful this woman is to her father who came over her house bringing some tuna and little ice things and plastic things to put food in and a lunch bag. She criticized each and every item he brought over this was AFTER she criticized him for coming over in the first place and then not knocking. I lost my Dad at a young age and would give any thing to have him drop in on me regardless of the time… Read more »
Think you are being unfair , watch the 1st and 2nd seasons then you will understand Whitney & her parents and the great relationship they have . Whitney is obviously going though some major issues at present with her health . So rather than be nasty and unsympathetic. Think how you would feel if we took your pain Meds away from you , not.nice No ! Very easy to sit and criticise but get your facts right first . Whitney has tried to promote a healthy living regardless of body size . Whitney has worked with a dietician to try… Read more »
