I'd like 10lbs less to love

Did you watch More to Love?


I had no intentions of watching it, but after hearing Sonia's voice go up 2 octaves and start giggling uncontrollably everytime she thought about it, I figured I'd give it a chance in my DVR'ed world as we usually have similar taste in tv shows (i.e. Friday Night Lights, duh)

I called her when I got home to see if it was worth delaying my bedtime an hour and she told me all the good parts (what's your favorite food? Thick and juicy.' and him giving them promise rings, promising to love them for who they are on the inside.)

Which shouldn't surprise me since the show was sponsored by 1 Samuel 16:7 and Proverbs 31.

Just kidding. But thanks Awana.
If you missed it, I'll tell you that all the girls can picture themselves marrying Luke as of the first 15 minutes, few to none of them have been in relationships EVER, and watching in HD is not necessary as all you can think about is how bad Emme, the host looks in high def.

Other highlights...or lowlights...or heavy material:

Melissa- "I have never been on a date, my weight has always been in the way."
Sandy- "I think I intimidate people because they are not used to a plus size girl being confident."
Natalia- "What if I am alone for the rest of my life because I am big."
Kristian- "My last boyfriend dumped me because he was embarrassed that he hadn't been with someone as heavy as me before."
Bonnie- "I am the chubby, fashion-less girl who bakes cookies with her mom."
Lauren- "Guys don't give me attention, they want the gorgeous skinny girls, not the gorgeous chubby girls."

Honestly, I FF'ed through a lot of the show and caught MLB highlights and youtube videos while I 'watched' and overall, allow me to weigh in my opinion as to how it compares with other reality shows.....

Biggest Loser>Millionaire Matchmaker>More to Love>anything else on tv>Dating in the Dark
So it may not be worth planning your Tuesday night around....UNLESS...you are like me and get strangely inspired to workout after watching overweight people confess how unhappy they are or how badly they'd like to drop 50 lbs, etc.

Nothing gets me to Life Time faster than the Biggest Loser. However, I have a feeling More To Love might be a close contender. I'll need another episode to make sure.

Bottom line, it may not be quality tv, but it's a good motivator. So thank you, Fox. I'll never miss a Tuesday workout.
