I’ll admit, I’ve been dragging my feet, not wanting to write up my recap on Fat March, because that would solidify that it is over. That I’m not going to be watching folks I’ve come to think of as friends battle their weight as I battle my own.
But here I am, ready to write my final thoughts on ABC’s first weight loss reality show.

So I missed Fat March last night, as I was driving home from Canada. I sat down a little bit ago to watch my Tivo’ed episode and take notes for my recap.
Stage 5 begins with 245 miles left in Bart, PA. The marchers were expected to complete 18.2 miles in 5 hours. From the moment the show started, as a viewer, I could see that the team was hurting. They were tired, many were nursing injuries, and they were just weary in spirit. Matt’s knees were starting to take their toll on him, and the other contestants hobbled along the path.

This is the episode I’ve been waiting for! I was so thrilled to see the Fat March cast working as a team, albiet grudgingly at first. With some incredibly long walks in heat and humidity, the marchers pushed through their pain to complete almost 30 miles in two days.

I first heard about Fat March from my music manager
who told me to send in a video and try out. I had tons
of fun creating, shooting and editing my audition
video. If it had ended there, I would have been proud
of what I had done. I am good little filmmaker! But
low and behold, there was more to come!

Stage 3 of the Fat March journey to Washington, DC started in Connecticut. This leg of the journey would take them to New York City, and end in Time Square.
At the beginning of a 12.7 mile walk, the marchers had to deal with intense heat, which, when added to the myriad of injuries and discomforts already plagueing them, makes for a pretty miserable walk. Wendy complained about wanting to go home from the get go, just stating that she was done. Dealing with acute knee pain, Matt keeps on plugging, even walking behind with Will to make sure Will didn’t reach the end last.

Get Ready to March! FAT MARCH!
Posted on July 30th, 2007 by Carrie Falquist
January of this year, I found myself in the midst of casting for The Biggest Loser and ABC’s then unnamed show (Fat March). As a woman who had completely let herself go, from being a fit and toned 150, to a massive 248, I saw the chance to be on these shows as my golden ticket. I could go away for 2-3 months, only worry about taking care of myself, leave the responsibilities of my art business, motherhood, domestic chores behind.
In my heart of hearts, I did not think that there was any other way to lose the weight I had put on in the past 7 years. So what happened? I went along in the casting process, further than many, not as far as some, but enough to make an impact. I didn’t want to do it again. It was an emotional roller coaster for sure!
