A reality series following the life of a woman suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Whitney Thore is an average girl from a small town in North Carolina. She was once a slender dancer but during college unexpectedly gained 200 pounds over the course of a single year due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
It took Whitney quite some time to deal with the life-changing effects of her condition, but now she is content with her body and has a fresh outlook on life.
Currently living with her parents, Whitney is getting prepared to venture out on her own and claim her independence in a world that judges people by their size.

I feel like people saying she is a "B.S.er" have absolutely no ability to empathize with what she's going through. She works on her physical health throughout the show and off the air way more than most morbidly obese people do. Everyone breaks down and has moments of self indulgence ESPECIALLY in this country considering we are the most selfish, overly lavish lifestyle society in the world. Watching her battle with her weight is not only inspiring to me, but with A LOT of people that watch her show, and for people who say she makes too many excuses and contradicts herself on her eating and physical habits don't even have the right to "throw the first stone" (I mean that literally and metaphorically.) She is an amazing woman who I personally have a huge amount of respect for.

I thought this show was about someone trying to get control of her life and health. It is the opposite, last night's show there was a scene where Whitney's dad brought her some healthy items and portion control containers. She laughed and basically said she wasn't going to do anything drastic about her food choices. She is going to end up killing herself, and she already had a scare.

I watch your channel all the time, but why is the show, 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' with Whitney Thorpe not being renewed for a 3rd Season? Whitney Thorpe is one of the most inspiring people on TV today! I am appalled that you TLC would even second guess the renewal of this Showa! There are enough shows on that are either depressing, or absolutely uninspiring! PLEASE PUT WHITNEY, HER FAMILY HER AWESOME FRIENDS & HER BOYFRIEND BACK ON TLC!!! I used to so look forward to watching this program!
Saddened!
