So the vlogs have been tit because Dave is overweight? I don't really understand what they are on about. They have all the time in the world to meal plan and exercise, neither of them work. How many people do this whilst working full time and looking after children? Basically, they are so bored because they do nothing all day (except film a lousy 10 minute vlog) that they just eat to pass the time. Maybe if they got some structure to their lives like Dave getting even a part time job and Sophie taking Chip/Barney on walks to the park or something, they'd feel better. They need to stop feeling sorry for themselves.

My friend lost all her baby weight walking, she’d get out with the pram and walk 15k a day. Sophie and Dave could have done the same, it gets them out exercising and gets some fresh air for Barney, plus makes use of his gifted pram. It’s excuse after excuse to justify their laziness. Like many others, I can’t even hate watch anymore but give it till next summer max until one of them needs to go and get a job becauee vlogging isn’t working and the pins don’t sell anymore
 
Anyone else spot Dave's facial expressions when Barney's dummy fell out? Lol

I am currently on maternity leave, my husband works full time and have a 5month old baby. I agree with sophie about being uncomfortable in my own skin at the moment. I am the biggest I have ever been and my clothes no longer fit properly, even though I am, as someone earlier put, a more of a could lose a couple stone for holiday weight. Oh and I absolutely HATE exercising! Rather than buying a ton of new clothes and letting myself get any bigger I hired an online PT. I am meal prepping for the week, working out at home for an hour a day and walking everyday with my mum.

If I have time for this, with just me at home with my baby, how can Dave keep making excuses?! You have all the time in the world right now. Take full advantage of it! I knew that if I left it until I went back to work it wouldn’t happen and I would just get bigger. I am not prepared to let myself become unhealthier! It is bloody hard but my PT is there to hold me accountable and that is what Dave needs too! And if sophie is that uncomfortable with her weight she could do it with Dave, it will help her and give him the support he seems to desperately need

I’ve got 2 kids, and it took till after my second one and buying a size 20 dress to click that I needed to change. I joined SlimmingWorld in January and lost 5 stone up to now. Even did it during lockdown, and I work and hubby works.
nothing is going to change until it clicks in your brain, like any addiction, but he obviously knows he’s big. Why wouldn’t he want to change?
 
As much as I think this is a much needed kick up the arse for Dave I really don’t think he will loose weight. He needs to see a Doctor and get help, his whole life has been ruled by being on a diet and all it’s done is make him extremely obese. I wish him luck and I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think anything will change in his life unless he gets help?
 
I don’t think Dave has looked well/happy for a few weeks now.
I am in no way fat shaming, i have enough fat of my own, that i struggle to lose over and over again 🥴
I agree that he probably does need some sort of intervention from his GP but from my own behaviour, i know i shun away from this too.

I don’t think Soaf helps, she is a feeder. How many vlogs do you see her sabotaging his efforts? Muscle food delivery, Soaf makes cookies etc.
She uses every opportunity to put him down, so often that she probably doesn’t realise she’s doing it.
Dave tidies utility room, Soaf finds fault “oh its a man tIdy”. She constantly makes digs at him/demands from him on the vlogs. Vlogs that SHE has edited and she either doesn’t think there is anything wrong with the way she talks to him or thinks ot comes across as funny banter..... its not!

I think Dave looks sad.

This! She needs to support him in getting healthier. That means her not making and eating junk in front of him when he is trying to make what will be a massive lifestyle change. My husband is my biggest cheerleader! He will not eat crap in front of me (will have it when I take baby to bed), he sends me congratulation messages every time I finish a workout and gives me the kick up the arse when I need it.
 
I would love to see an honest what I ate in a day from the pair of them, Dave showed over 5 bags of shopping leaving aldi and then the haul portion could have fit in one bag. I also don't think they showed anything that could make a complete meal.

They both have a bad attitude to food, and that's not an easy fix, but as other posters said, just walking would be a massive boost to their mental and physical health.
 
The reason they both eat like crap is because they’re just lazy. Neither of them can be bothered to cook/prepare a proper meal every day as well as Sophie (actually admitted) has a childs pallet when it comes to food.
I know we all hammer Dave for been a lazy bugger but I really think if he got a job that would also help with his weight. He would be active everyday and having to think about what to take for lunch etc. So I feel he would genuinely try, he did seem to make an effort most of the time when he was on tour.
I think if he got a job somewhere like Aldi, where they’re constantly busy restocking and serving, it would really get him motivated. Plus they’ve always paid better out of all of the supermarkets. I don’t understand why they both want to do the YouTube thing together when they literally just sit at home all day 🤷🏼‍♀️

just to add, I am not fat shaming the man. I think it was actually very brave of him to address his issues today.
 
They’ve no real intention on dieting or losing weight, they’re reading here and seeing what is being said definitely!

The channel is dying and they’ll have seen someone here mention that a weight loss journey would boost things. This is all about the watch count. Like when she said they won’t share measurements etc they’ll pretend to lose a bit half heartedly and then stop.

like someone else said, why don’t they go out walking as a family on long long walks. The air will benefit the baby and the exercise will be good for dumb and dumber...and the dog who is turning into one lump of lard!

Very telling when he said the gym will help and she said let’s get the house sorted then the gym....that’s showing that SHE controls the Floral purse strings and I roughly translate that as ‘you ain’t getting your gym til I have my loaf, you’re not spending the pin money on that Daviddddddd’
 
The fact they think they need a gym to work out is ridiculous. Going on walks like others have said is free and easy. I often do workouts from YouTube, again, free and no equipment needed just a bit of motivation!
However I will say that well done to finally addressing his weight. It's been a long time coming and it's hard to admit let alone when you're putting it on the Internet (which yes, I know is there choice)

I agree with this.

I do feel sympathy regarding losing weight. It's hard, but it is doable, with the right attitude.

However I am thinking that this video is a way to try and entice viewers to keep watching.

She has a point. They should sort the house as priority, no gym, no loaf. You don't need a gym to workout. Start with walking and build it up, there's so many YouTube videos for workouts for all levels and different intensities. If you say you're waiting for the gym then you're not really going to start.

I'd say well done to him for talking about his weight but he's done that before and he just got bigger. Nothing will change because he really doesn't think he's that big, it's all muscle guys. He just wants people to say he looks good. Remember, he said his big beautiful body gave the world Barney.

If he really wanted to lose the weight then he'd actually listen to a Dr and not say the Dr is wrong and he knows best. He'd forget this "gym", calorie counting and muscle building. Start with cardio and then slowly add weights into it so you're actually losing the fat. Cut out the literal crap you eat and all the energy drinks or at least cut down and eat healthy, home cooked meals. Meal prep if its easier.

They have all the time in the world right now and I'm getting a bit sick of them claiming they have no time.

Yet he was quite happy uploading him "singing" on Instagram just a few days ago. He's just looking for people the fawn all over him.

Oh absolutely I agree the house should be sorted first, but our definition of that and Soaf’s are I’m sure entirely different. To us it means blinds everywhere, curtains, a stable tv unit and child proofing etc. To her I’d wager it means Loaf first and foremost.

Definitely the gym is not needed, walking and exercise videos are free.
 
I’m not sure why they’re so obsessed with the thought of going to Disneyland with a 10 month old?? It’s probably going to be SO stressful for them, they’re not going to be able to take him on any rides at that age, they’ll have to do rides separately so someone can look after Barney, why not wait until he’s a little bit older so he can enjoy it, too? As much as I love Disney, it doesn’t solve your problems. Also it’s HELLA expensive 🥴 but I’m sure they’ll have released another 10 pins by then so it’s ok right
