FAT CHANCE

Fat Chance small logo


"Fat Chance", is a new reality series where eight individuals attempt to lose large amounts of weight, gain confidence and find love. Each week, the show will explore one person's three-month journey to lose a targeted amount of weight and lose the self doubt to find the conviction to finally confess hidden feelings to a special someone they've never had the courage to approach. They will be coached along the way by a personal trainer to help them through the physical and emotional roadblocks on their journey to a healthier life.
