Pathetic I have PCOS and listening to her use it as her excuse to not be able to lose weight over and over is disgusting. It takes hard work and educating yourself but you most certainly can lose weight and manage it. She wants someone to do it for her. Sorry doll but if you worked at managing your food addiction half as hard as you do dancing you could do it...otherwise shut up.

Sally c

Stop whining! By Season 3 Whitney's excuses, whining, and need to be the center of attention 24/7 are wearing thin. She seems like a fun person with a genuinely good heart but terribly immature. Her trainer finally throws in the towel when he gets zero cooperation from Whitney and she has a melt down. She seems to think he's wrong and yet she makes close to NO effort then whines when he discovers her car full of fast food wrappers. I've seen 3 Seasons but won't watch a 4th unless she dramatically tackles her issues.

Sam Mathieu

Love it! I love how comfortable she is in her own skin, and even when she seems a little uncomfortable she pushes through it. She's a great role model for kids to watch on TV. Someone that I think is a positive influence on my life. I have PCOS, and I have since I was about 13. It totally brings everything to life. And I explained everything about it to my boyfriend, but for him to watch the show with me and see another person going through something similar to me...it's amazing.

Lindsay Sallaz

This girl is the truth. God bless her! I absolutely love this show. This girl speaks to my heart on so many levels. Thank you TLC for promoting shows like this. She and her family and friends are hilarious and you fall in love with them so quickly! I love how candid she is about being overweight and is so willing to show her true feelings and emotions as you travel in this journey with her thru her life. Love you whit! You are an inspiration and a true leader just like your brother said. God bless you <3

Kanesha Godin

I hate wen people twist the shows meaning...so what if she's eating pizza? Thts not going to change the fact tht she has a condition thts preventing her from dropping the weight..and if some people think the show is exploited in anyway guess wat people..don't fuking watch it..it's a show pertaining to the hardships of a woman's body..and for her trying to live her life as she is is amazing..u got skinny bitches who can't accept who they are so they spend all day in the bathroom throwing up..grow up people

Connie Crowderhill

If everyone watched this and took away even a fraction of Whitney's spirit and exuberance about life, this world would be a better place. Please don't give up, the world needs more people like you, and thank you for letting us into your life, it is indeed a precious gift! You rock Whitney!!
