I love this reality program.
Kirstie, I love you and know what life is like overweight.
Many of us do not have much support from family.  Once you get fat, it is harder to keep it away.  Many, like Kirstie, need to be thankful for having a large group of supporting family and friends.   In the last program in which she starred, Kirstie was wearing the same activewear as I.  She must pinch pennies as well.
So Kudos, you do have followers.
