Hi Everyone,

LTNS, I know ... I saw this heartbreaking video - which has gone viral on U-Tube - and thought I'd post it here for anyone who has not seen it yet.  I wonder if any of the "experts" or celebs that responded to the video offered WLS to him -- the article doesn't mention any, if so.

This is so sad, you can hear how helpless/hopeless he is. Makes me want to cry. I did watch the video done by CBS and it looks like he may be getting some help from Chris Powell.

I wondered about that too.  But putting him on the Biggest Loser makes a much more dramatic story, doesn't it?  I think that's sad.

My cousin went to High School with him. He lives 30 minutes from where I do. I sure hope he gets the help he needs.

I saw on one of the news clips this am that Dr. Phil was reaching out to help too! Dr Phil and Chris Powell would be quite a combo. I have to be honest I can't wait the video for the fear that I will end up crying all day. It sounded pretty sad and I saw lots of BL contestant reaching out to him too on FB.
