Walter has a GAme Boy, XBox, PlayStation, Nintendo and plays video games 5 hours a day. I can tell he is socially maladjusted in a major way.

Not lying and he was leaned up against the bar too.

I can do up to 100-300 push ups. Not the "female push ups" but the regular kind.

These parents are guilty of child abuse and need to get slapped.
Even if parents have to work or can't allow their children to play outside after school, that doesn't mean the child has to be allowed to eat all the darn time.
Take away the video games and the fattening foods around the house. That child will find something more constructive to do with his time and his appetite if you provide alternatives. A well disciplined child doesn't need a parent directing her every minute of the day to know what is and is not appropriate.

I absolutely agree. Nothing makes me smile more than seeing parents at the gym with their children. The kids are engaged and seem to enjoy themselves. My gym also has the kiddie version of excercise classes: kids yoga, kids pilates, kids dance aerobics, etc.
Parents need to also be aware that just because the child is not considered fat or obese does not mean that they can be less vigilant when it comes to the child's overall health.

The moment in the show that really pissed me off was when Walter's dad tried to act like Walter was the only one responsible for his condition. There were stacks of pizza boxes on the counter behind them! Did this kid have the money to order pizzas and pizza burritos (WTF)? His parents let him sit five hours at stretch and play video games. The parents allowed this kid to become a health disaster! His obesity is the result of longstanding habits and enabling by the parents!

I am glad Shaq did this show.
Parents take your kids outside.

I saw the commercial for this show last night on ABC.
Fat March
Sort of like The Biggest Loser but they walk from Boston to DC and compete for $1million.

I'm still watching!
I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how well Walter is doing. I thought he would be the bump on the log holding the group back. (Did you see him cheesing when he took the picture with the Miami dancers  )?
I'm beyond frustrated with the lil boy that IS holding them back (forgot his name). His mother really doesn't seem to get that this is serious. With his fathers recent weight loss you would think HE of all the kids would be on the ball. Instead he half arses his way through the workouts...and whine when anyone says anthing to him. I would have put him out already (or asked his dad to come sit and watch him so they could see what was going on). Nothing upsets me more than wasted potential.
I wish the show overall was getting more attention and created more dialogue. This is SO much more important that Spice Posh or Lindsey's daily trek form rehab to Starbucks  . Shaq is trying so I give him big props for trying to address this!
