Jamie says:

"I want to lose weight and build up my self confidence. If I did lose the weight one of the things I want to do is marry my other half who I’ve been with for four-and-a-half years. I want to have children but I can’t do that at the moment because I’m 28 stone. I want to lose ten stone at least."

David says:

“The main reason for doing the show was to get my son to lose weight to prove to him that if I could do it, he could do it. No parent wants to bury their child. If he stays this weight he will have a heart attack."

“I’m doing it for my wife as well – she’s just come out of hospital, she was gasping for breath but she still told us we had to come and do this.”
