Periodically I catch some new "weight loss" reality show, and I can admit, I find them really fun/interesting to watch despite their occasional horrible instances. Here's the shows I put in my TiVo to record if they are on, are there others?

- Biggest Loser (coming back in summer)
- Flab to Fab (VH1 Show, comes on rarely, only 6 shows done)
- Celebrity Fit Club (VH1 Show, not coming on anymore I think, wasn't all that good)
- Weighing In (Food Network show, decent)

The Life Network in Canada has one called "Taking it Off" (http://www.takingitoffonline.com/) which, so far, has looked pretty good. It's been running for a few seasons now. I haven't seen enough of it to make a definite call, though. I know that it's more docudrama (like TLC shows, before they went nuts) than sensationalism-based like the big networks' shows. It follows people who choose different weight loss approaches, finding their own trainers and other health professionals, and how they go about their daily lives. Much more of a "reality" show than some of those unnatural "life in a fishbowl" things.

that looks awesome - shame it's not in the US :(

I caught a pretty interesting Dateline special a while back about weight loss. Basically, they found 6 or 8 people that were going to attend their 20 year high school reunion in 6 months, and each one of them picked a different weight loss process.

Some of them took straightforward approaches like just following the food pyramid. Others went to having a personal trainer or doing extreme diets. Pretty nuts.

Discovery Health & FitTV have some pretty good shows based on health & fitness, "Ultimate goals" is a nice feel good and uplifting show.
