EndedDocumentary show

Lose Weight for Love follows couples who are locked in a cycle of over-eating that threatens not only their health, but their relationship.

They are one another's own worst enemy - each encouraging the other to over eat - and clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron believes it is only by separating and having therapy that they can address their underlying individual issues, change for good, and ultimately be happier again with one another.

Lisa and Steve

At over 22 stone Lisa is clinically obese, while Steve is suffering from type 2 diabetes - largely on account of all the cakes Lisa bakes as a way of showing her love for her husband.

Steve fears the couple will not grow old together, and Lisa has a more immediate sadness as her weight is preventing her from getting pregnant. Clinical Psychologist Tanya Bryon separates them for 10 weeks in a bid to rid them of their self-destructive behaviour. She discovers that a miscarriage Lisa had 10 years ago still haunts her and that a fear of failure is stopping her from losing weight.

Meanwhile, Rick confronts Steve about his chaotic eating habits and high blood sugar levels. Tanya takes him back to the school he was asked to leave as a teenager, to try and get to the heart of his continued refusal to follow rules. Will the couple change whilst they are apart so they can come back happier and healthier, to start the family they both dream of having?
