Waisted by Randy Susan Meyers
4.0
Seven women sign up to go to a retreat to assist them in their weight loss journey. They are aware that they will be filmed for training and educational purposes, but they don't realize that they are really signing up to be filmed for a documentary that borders on being a reality show. The women are stripped of their phones and clothing and then humiliated to see how far they will go.
The narration switches back and forth between two of the women, Daphne and Alice. You learn who they were before going to "Waisted" and why they chose to go. And then their time during and after the retreat.
I enjoyed and related to several of the characters. It is interesting to see how far you might go for to lose weight. There were some moments that were meant to be self-deprecating and funny, but that isn't my type of humor.
