I’m rooting for Tanisha also. She should be very proud of herself, especially when not having a mom to support her. It bothers me that she’s not on board when it comes to her daughter’s health. I hope the best for Tanisha, to keep on going until she feels fit. I would love to see her eventually become a part of the Wellsprings staff, after all, she’s been there and done that! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK TANISHA! We are all behind you 100%!!!!!

Tanisha is wonderful. I’m sure many people are inspired by her example. Today I saw the show where she lost 200 pounds. She screamed with joy. She goes home and makes healthy meals and her mother scoffs. Keep going, Tanisha! You are going to be more beautiful as time goes by, as you become healthy at an ideal weight. Stay strong! You have the potential to be a leader, a shaker and mover!

@Apples I would love to find out how Tanisha is doing now. She has such a great personality! Her mother, however, is really outrageous! Watching that show made me CRINGE!!! How does a mother live in denial like that? I hope that Tanisha can make it through! You are correct, parents like this provide a terrible example for their children.

I am replying to this late because I just saw a repeat of this show on Style for the 1st time. I was absolutely disgusted at Tanisha’s mother and her crazy attitude about her kids’ (and her own) health. Since the show is from last year, I seriously hope Tanisha’s mother has had time to open her eyes and realize her very big role in Tanisha’s suffering by being such a lousy example and creating obstacles for this girl rather than any type of support network. I’ve read other articles online documenting Tanisha’s weightloss success and I am so proud of her determination and strength - I just wish more attention was drawn to her mother’s stupid attitude; I believe that was the biggest cause of Tanisha’s obesity and it desperately needs to be addressed. I’m sure she’s not the only deadbeat parent out there leading by TERRIBLE example and ultimately causing her own child’s suffering. PARENTS LIKE THESE NEED TO BE CHECKED, BEFORE they put their kids into this position!!!
