(Original Air Date: 1/31/07) The media bombards the public with images of stick-thin bodies, but not all men prefer these types of women. Self-proclaimed "Chubby Chasers" love their women curvy, round and voluptuous. Clayton says he likes the rolls on his wife, Cheryl's, 300-pound body, and he loves to watch her butt jiggle. Cheryl says that she wants to lose weight but fears that if she does, she might also lose her marriage. Does Clayton sabotage Cheryl to keep her overweight? Dr. Phil has a plan to get them both what they want. Then, Phillip says he prefers to date women who are at least 250 pounds. His twin brother, Paul, says he's disgusted by the plus-size women, and his brother is embarrassing the family. He even makes fun of Phillip's dates when he brings one home, calling her fat and stinky. Will these brothers ever be able to find a middle ground? And, go inside a nightclub that caters to big women and men who can't get enough of them! Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

big love

I am a BBW and I am 32 and healthy.  Just because you are big doesn't mean that you are not healthy.  I am very active and I am happy to found a boyfriend that loves my size and the way I am and I don't have to try to loose weight to be sexy to him.  I only hope the all the other BBW can find the same happiness.  BBW's can be just as sexy as those skinny girls!!!

07/03 Big Love

 Hello all... I watched todays show and I just HAD to come and comment... I too, like many of the women who have posted, am a plus size woman. I am a size 20... and I love my curves. I haven't always been this size. In high school, I was diagnosed with Addison's diease, after a year long battle. I lost weight rapidly. I am 5'9", so I was always a little bit bigger than the other girls, but I was very healthy, so when I started loosing weight, rumors began to circulate that I had eating disorders. Of course, that wasn't the case, but since I didn't know where the loss was coming from, I had no answers for their questions. To make a long story longer, I lost down to about 127lbs... and I looked like death. I know that to some, that may not seem like much, but I am naturally built big, so for me, that is TOO SMALL... I was on homebound schooling half of my junior year, and all of my senior. Halfway through my senior year, at my smallest, I went into crisis, and was hospitalized, and almost died. That is when I was diagnosed. I was started on steriods, and hormone supliments, and slowly, my health started imporving... and the weight started coming...

As a result of the weight gain, my boyfriend at the time, broke up with me... further increasing the depression I was already suffering from. I continued to gain, and had boyfriends over the years, but I never felt like any of them really like the way I look. Now, I am fully aware that looks shouldn't be at the top of ANYONES list... but everyone needs to feel wanted...

Now.. I have said all of that to say this... I am now 22yrs old, and in September, I will be getting married to the man of my dreams. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with someone who loves me for me... all of me.. My mind, my spirit, my heart, and yes... my body too... lol. He loves me... he loves my curves.... And he is a bigger guy too... And I love him for who he is as well... However, because we want to spend a LONG, HEALTHY life together, he and I are trying to loose weight.. and most importantly... we are doing it TOGETHER! That is my advice for the couple on the show... do it together... Do it because you love eachother, and you want to see eachother as healthy and happy as possible...

Will I ever be one of these skinny women you see in a magazine? No. Will I ever be a size 2? No... At my smallest, at 127lbs, I was still a size 9... But, will I loose some wieght, and still be curvey, and be healthy, and be happy???? YES!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading and may God bless you all!

Ya, your metabolism should determine your food consumption!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're fat you are eating too much and moving too little!!!

Metabolism can be changed through EXERCISE!!!!!!!
I would have you consider Adrenal Fatigue and what happens when someone with this condition tries to lose weight.  Not every idea/opinion about weightloss can fit into a little box.

O M G

Who are these people???  First let me start by saying that I have been overweight all of my adult life.  At the age of 30, I am currently around 270 pounds.  Roughly 80 pounds lighter than I was this time last year.  My highest weight was about 377, at the age of 27.  Even at that weight I could NEVER be accused of smelling bad, or being sloppy!  Funny thing is, when I was coming up as a child, my mother was always on me about being neat and clean.  In my world, she made me bathe way too much, and I didn't want to iron EVERYTHING I wore!  She seemed really, what I would call at my current age, anal retentive.  She said that these 2 things were always a must because people looked for things to say about fat people.  And boy was she right!  After seeing the show, and hearing the comments that were made, I'm thankful that my mother instilled that in me.  Its sad that people can be, and are so stereotypical.  As a big woman, I've never dealt with big men.  That doesn't mean that I wouldn't, because personality and confidence are everything....just not my preference.  But its one thing to have a personal preference, and another to just be downright ignorant.

Big Love

I have never did this before but after watching todays show I just had too..Big women are almost the norm anymore we are no longer just sitting on the side watching life go by..we deserve to be treated just like anyone esle reguardless of our size..we are holding down jobs and having families and even though I am a bbw I am in great health..No high blood pressure or high cholestrol or diabetes...Yes I know this doesn't  mean it can happen but it also can happen to skinny people. I am a very active person and am not a lazy fat person...some of our problems come from hereidty not just overeating like some would think ...Please this is the 21 century wake up world treat us as humans and not judge us on our size..Who are we ,anyways to judge anyone on size ? and if we chose to be with a skinny person or a fat person its out chioce not yours ...we are the ones who have to live our life not you..so give it a break will ya..so please don't judge me and I wont judge you..

Big Beautiful and Loving IT!!!!

This post is in response to the episode big love on 07/03/07...... there was a guest on your show by the name of Paul I believe, who said that big people were an embarassment, disgusting and smelly.  Wow! I was more than upset with his comments.  I am a big woman and I can't believe that of all the things I've had to deal with in my life that someone would actually go on national television and make such a pompus remark.  This guy has to be joking.  I am not the type of person to stoop to putting people down, but he's not on the top ten list of good looking men in America. I can't believe that he even had the nerve to try and tell his brother who he could date.  The nerve of him to say that his brother dating  a bbw would bring disgrace to their family.  I think he did a great job of that by making such stupid comments on a national t.v. show.  I would love the chance to meet this man and let him smell me to know that size has nothing to to with hygiene.  This guy needs to find his way to the "Get a Life Lane" real quick........please officers let him run every red light and stop sign.....he needs help FAST!!!!!

about big love

I have always known obesity is the last acceptable predjudice, but the "gentleman" on the show did it out loud and dirty. It is especially sad when it comes from one who has probably had to deal with unfair predjudice his entire life. If one were to label him with his own adjectives only on the basis of his skin color, the outcry would be loud, as well it should be. I am a big girl but can say without hesitation that I am smart, dress well, have an excellent job, have a loving husband and children and smell very nice. Thank you Dr. Phil for letting him know his manners are in need of rehab. I am sure his mother did not raise a child to be so rude.
