Let the Countdown Begin...

If you have been following the blog, you have been sure to see the exciting news about A&E’s upcoming series, “Heavy.”  As most of you are aware by now, last year Hilton Head Health (H3) was selected to be the site for A&E’s new weight loss docudrama.  However, unlike other weight loss series – “Heavy” is not a competition, rather it is an in-depth look at the personal struggles, triumphs and transformations of twenty-two individuals who struggled with obesity. 

In order to most accurately document these multiple journeys over the course of six months, A&E sought out two different production companies and locations to undertake the lengthy and ambitious filming process.  Twelve participants began their journey here at H3, while ten others participated in a program in Texas.  The power of the H3 Healthy Lifestyle™ program is demonstrated in the results with our twelve participants losing an average of 30% more.  Click here to learn more about each participant, see photos, clips and more.     

Be sure to tune in on Monday, January 17th at 10/9C for the series premier.  It’s a series you won’t want to miss – especially if you had the opportunity to meet any of these amazing individuals.  So mark your calendar today! 

Check out a few pictures below and share your favorite memories of the twelve here in the comments.

  1. I am really counting down to the start of the series. I was at H3 in July for one of the best weeks in my life ~ wish I could have stayed longer. I met a few of the 12 and they really inspired me. My favourite moments were when Patty gave up the scooter and when Johnnie made up the "rap" about his time at Hilton Head Health. I don't remember too many dry eyes in the room. I look forward to seeing how well they are doing and wish them all continued success and good health.

  2. Debbie - Thanks for sharing your memories! One more week until the premier - I am sure there won't be many dry eyes for the episodes either!

  3. Can't wait to see the show. I was at H3 in Sept, and was inspired by these 12 people. Special love goes out to Patty, Debbie and Tim.
