Style Network Takes Aim At Body Image Issues With First Ever 'Too Fat For 15' Town-Hall Special

If teenage obesity is an issue that hits close to home, you might want to block off a few hours June 27 and plan on tuning into The Style Network.

The couture-centric network's Emmy-nominated documentary series "Too Fat For 15" returns that night at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST with the network's first one-hour Town Hall discussion, "Too Fat For 15: The Obesity Crisis." Alison Sweeney of NBC's "The Biggest Loser" will be joined by various Style Network talents and personalities to help guide both parents and their children to healthier, happier lives with in-depth discussion.

It sounds the special covers as many bases as anyone could want. It was taped at the St. Louis, Mo. West County YMCA, and deals with topics ranging from problems with bullying over weight, to staying active during cold weather - something this Kansas Citian knows isn't easy.

Ruby Gettinger, who won an Emmy for her hosting of her Style series "Ruby," joins Sweeney to talk candidly about her own weight struggles.

Cast members of "Too Fat For 15: Fighting Back" Tanisha, Rachel and Carysn were also on hand to talk about their own journeys to overcome weight problems and lead healthier lives. St. Louis Rams wide receiver Brandon Gibson and Wellspring Academy physical trainer John Taylor will provide exercise tips and partner with a nutritionist and chef to share some healthy but tasty recipes to keep those trying to manage weight on the straight-and-narrow.
