Fat March is an American reality television series on the ABC network, based on the UK Channel Four series Too Big To Walk. It premiered on August 6, 2007 and ended on September 10, 2007.[1]

The show had received mixed reactions from fitness experts. Experts such as cardiologist James Rippe are critical of ABC's Fat March. Even the name "suggests that these people are being punished for being heavy, but this show sends a message that walking is painful, you get blisters, you get hurt and it's humiliating. They've made a spectacle of people who did this with all good intentions," he says.[2]
