"In high school my mother and I had a really bad relationship. Very physically and verbally abuse. All that verbal abuse was usually about my weight," says Jessica, a 27-year-old bridal consultant.
"My weight has definitely been an issue relationship-wise. I know, a lot of it, the issue was me. I end up pushing away girls," admits Mark, a 31-year-old bartender and recruiter.

'The Biggest Loser''s Ali Vincent: Life After the RanchMichael Douglas on Cancer Battle: 'My Doctors are Optimistic, I'm Optimistic'
'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' star Michael Douglas held a no-cameras, audio-only press conference in Manhattan Wednesday afternoon to talk about his new movie with director Oliver Stone, and the Oscar winner gave an update on his battle with stage four throat cancer.
"I'm doing fine; very proud of the picture," said Michael, looking good given his circumstances. "My doctors are optimistic, I'm optimistic, and obviously a combination of radiation every day and chemo limits a full day, but everybody did a fantastic job and life goes on. So it's just another chapter. I've had a pretty good run of it and this was a pretty bad year, so it's going to be topped off with a really good movie."

Michael Douglas Uses Humor to Beat CancerDebbie Rowe Still Looking to Recoup 'Reasonable Attorneys Fees' from Jackson Estate
Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael Jackson's two older kids, still wants Michael's estate to cover "reasonable attorneys fees" that she incurred during last year's custody case over Prince and Paris.
Rowe, in court papers filed Tuesday, presents a copy of a letter she says was written by the counsel of Katherine Jackson -- Prince and Paris' grandmother and guardian -- in which Katherine requests that Michael's estate pay for Rowe's "reasonable attorneys fees relating to the guardianship [of Michael Jackson's children.]"
"Deborah Rowe and her attorney were very cooperative in helping the guardianship action go smoothly," the letter adds.

ET's Samantha Harris was the first to visit the set of CBS' new sitcom "Mike & Molly." She was excited to share her baby news with new mom Melissa McCarthy on the revered Warner Bros. sound stage where "Friends" was taped.
Eight months pregnant at her audition, Melissa is grateful she was able to win over director James Burrows and producer Chuck Lorre to become a part of the show. She also has the privilege of returning to the lot where she filmed "Gilmore Girls" for almost seven years. Though weight is one facet of the script, Melissa hopes to shed some pounds post-pregnancy, explaining the baby weight is "clinging to me with everything it's got…I hope in a year that we're like, 'What are we going to do, she's a rail?'"
The story centers on Mike (Billy Gardell) and Molly (Melissa), who get introduced at an overeaters meeting and begin to date. All cast members insist that there is a lot more to the plot than weight issues. Melissa calls it "a love story." Billy asserts, "I think our show has a more realistic heartbeat than any of those shows [like 'Biggest Loser']. I think we're a little more interesting than just somebody who's overweight pushing a tire up a hill. I think there's a lot more soul to this show."

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are 'Romantics' at Heart
Katie Holmes told ET about her wedding day jitters before exchanging vows with Tom Cruise. Now married for nearly four years, the dedicated couple posed happily ever after at the premiere of 'The Romantics.'
"I just remember you kind of mock up that day to be so serious and so important, it’s your wedding day," said Katie of her lavish Italian affair. "I just remember like, 'Oh my God, what if people don’t know where to sit?' Like those little tiny things. But actually it's all going to be okay."
Costar Josh Duhamel also made a dapper groom in real life when he said his "I dos" to wife Fergie. He said of the film's storyline, "It isn't sort of a glossy perspective on marriage, it's sort of the real dilemmas people go through leading up to a marriage and often times the conflict that goes with it. Luckily I didn't have to go through any of this."
