Ep 10. No Fat

Raymond Barone is a sports columnist who lives with his wife Debra, their three children, and his parents Frank and Marie. In this episode of Everybody Loves Raymond season 3, titled "No Fat," Raymond and his brother Robert engage in a friendly weight loss competition.

Raymond's wife, Debra, is concerned about her own weight and has decided to start a weight-loss program. Raymond doesn't think he needs to lose weight, but Robert, his younger brother who is a cop, challenges him to a weight loss competition. Raymond accepts the challenge, and they set a target of losing 12 pounds over the course of three weeks. The winner will be determined by who has lost the highest percentage of their body weight.

The competition begins, with Raymond and Robert each implementing their own weight loss techniques. Robert starts going to the gym and cutting down on his food intake, while Raymond adopts a low-carb diet and begins to exercise more. Their father, Frank, hears about the competition and decides to join as well, but he struggles to lose weight due to his love for junk food.

Debra, who is still self-conscious about her weight, watches on the sidelines as the three men take charge of their health. Raymond and Robert engage in trash talk while exercising together and making healthy meal choices. Their competitive nature continues to drive them to reach their goal.

Meanwhile, Marie, Raymond's mother, is still struggling with the idea of Raymond being on a diet. She continues to cook high-carb meals and tempt him with delicious treats. Her behavior causes Debra to question whether Marie really loves her son or not.

As the three weeks come to a close, tension rises as Raymond and Robert weigh in to determine the winner of the competition. Frank is unable to reach his goal and is disqualified. The results are surprising, as the winner is not who everyone expected. The competition ultimately brings the family closer together, as they all support each other in their efforts to live a healthier lifestyle.

In this episode, "No Fat," the competition between Raymond and Robert provides an amusing insight into the competitive nature of siblings. The episode also touches on important topics such as body image, self-confidence, and the importance of family support.
