Janet knows she needs to lose weight - she hasn't seen her feet since the nineties - but when she staggers up onto a table at the work's New Year's party, with enough beer inside her to power Australia for a year, and challenges her mortal enemy, Jack, to a weight-loss competition, she has no idea what she's started. She can't even remember it the next day, but her drunken rant has already become an internet sensation, and now there's no backing out of it. Jack wants nothing to do with it - although he hasn't seen his feet since the eighties - but with his doctor forcing him to lose weight and Janet's constant hostility towards him, he is soon on board, and the competition between them is fierce. So, it's on! Every month for a year the rivals compete to lose the most weight in diets set by their colleagues, ranging from the reasonably sensible to the completely and utterly insane! Attracting full media attention.

Weight a Minute
You know when you’re so drunk – I mean eight pints of lager and four Bend-Over-Shirleys drunk (apparently, it’s a cocktail) – I mean Club 18-30 drunk, although that ship sailed some time ago – I mean full-on, hold your hair back, giz a snog, I looooove everyone, and kebabs are the finest cuisine in the world drunk. You know it? Good. Well, you know when it’s New Year’s Eve, you’re that drunk, and you shout your mouth off about a year-long, weight-loss battle with a workmate that all your workmates are betting on, as well as deciding which diets you’ll be following month-by-month? No? Well, me neither, but when I walked into work a few days later, through a sea of well-wishers, slapping my back like I was John Cena walking to the ring rather than a shamefully still-hungover telesales lady dragging herself to her desk, it all came back to me – well, sort of.
“Nice work, Janet!”
“You’ve got this, Janny!”
No one called me Janny and survived!
“You can do it, Janet!”
