Losing It Together (2023)

Comedian and TV host Else Kåss Furuseth has it all under control; a successful career, an active social life, and a public image as someone happy in her own skin. But one thing she's been unable to control is her own eating, resulting in a high BMI she's happily made the butt of numerous jokes on TV. She's seemed no to care, has tried not to care - but of course she does. In secret she has tried to lose weight a million times without success. But when her doctor recommends sleeping with a breathing mask, it's a wake-up call. Else needs to lose weight. But how, and how to not bounce straight back? And will it disappoint the many fans who see her as a body acceptance role model? Throughout one year and over six episodes, Else and four others will try to gain control over their own weight. Is it enough to count calories and be active, or are there better routes to success? And what's the root cause of the growing problem with obesity - can it be traced to the stomach or brain, genetics or society, life situation or childhood?
