Anyone got any idea why it's on so late. I thought it was supposed to be a family show!

Maybe our family is unusual, but you'd never get the 4 of us sitting at dinner at the same time during the week. Try to always do it at weekends, but even then it's not always possible. Maybe they really mean it for young kids, but between GAA, running, swimming etc. and adults running etc. we never can arrange that!

Aggie and the Donegal man have serious issues beyond weight loss..and from a health perspective his need is greatest. Needs 100% support.

He's a gentle sort too.

Absolutely agree, I like him, he seems like a lovely person but a little perspective is needed. He is burned out but he needs to realise a day off wonâ€™t close his business and rely on the staff he has to do a good enough job not to need him on scene for just one day a week.

That's a classic example of a micro manager

Surely you get to 14/15stone, and feel your clothes tightening, and think, "hey, I need to do something about this."
Or is it easier to buy the next size up, than to take a look at yourself in a mirror?

I agree. Bar maybe you had some serious tough stuff going on?

Yes. When you get into bad habits and can't see the woods from the trees. Good man alright.

This 'luder' from Youghal wrecks my head!!

She's fit athletically but sometimes it actually makes you look older when body fat is low.

Think she's toned down a bit for the better? Presenting wise.

I think she’s fabulous but it’s the make up that’s totally askew with the role she’s taking in here. She seems to be in night club make up while the other women on the panel have much more natural make up.

It's a sad reality that so many people are unhappy. For millions of reasons, many which are out of our control.

Life is tough.

All relative though if you're worn down and mental health effected.

So her target this week was 2lbs and it is 3lbs next week even though they are doing the same plan every week as far as I know? Weight loss is not linear anyway, but if they are going to set a target you would think it would stay the same, or reduce to take account of their weight loss already etc. rather than increasing?

For the record, I think Kathryn Thomas looks great.
She has a young baby and none of the excuses that too many people have for still having their baby weight 20 years later.

That orange dress and clashing makeup with the big black false eyelashes didn't do her any favours this week. Nobody said she was carrying baby weight.

The Princess Bride

I've only just seen this week's episode.
Cathal has an uphill battle, and I'm not talking about on the scales.
Likewise with Paul, I can't imagine how hard it must be for his wife and family when he's working those hours- makes no sense.

I feel it'd be better, if they showed this for the 8 weeks. Then mentored and supported the people off camera for another 8 weeks, then back on TV for another perhaps month or so.
8 weeks is too short to make any sort of significant permanent change to one's habits.

For the record, I think Kathryn Thomas looks great.
She has a young baby and none of the excuses that too many people have for still having their baby weight 20 years later.

Ah well if you put yourself in the public eye you have to take criticism as well as praise. You should head over to the OT Facebook page where the glorification is abundant.

That used to drive me bananas!!!

I hope they don't just abdandon Cathal after it's over- he definitely needs support ongoing and intensive support. I could see him falling off the wagon for sure.

I can see both sides of the Aoife and Agi argument. Nobody likes being told you're parenting skills are wrong especially in their own home and surely it is better to have their child eat at the same time every day rather than waiting for the shift working father to come home from work. Aoife should have delivered her message better and maybe there might have been an element of lost of translation in both language and cultural differences.

One thing is for sure though, it shouldn't have been aired the way it was. The show is about Cathal loosing weight not about the struggles in his family life.

I see a few former contestants around and they are still overweight, I’d say only a very small percentage keep up the weight loss.

That’s terrible. I think the name is all wrong too- you can’t really “transform”in just a month or two. I’ve seen the big final episode with the fashion show and thinking some of them still had a major journey to go yet- they didn’t seem to emphasize that but it’s reality.

Indeed, realistically a few pounds a week (at most) lost for 6 months is what's needed...... that'd be 5 or 6 stone.
