Stop snoopin’!

Emily can’t hide her disdain for Sasha

I’m getting ads for Alaskan salmon and starting an Amazon delivery service

With a cameo appearance by bitter drunk sister Betsy

Fondue is better in Turkey

No Princess Toast, so far

Yes, she was an English teacher but never learned much Russian.

Why doesn’t Betsy have shoulders?

Wonder if she was wearing her seatbelt

Sasha is not

Syngin was pulled over in CT last July for not wearing his seat belt, then the cop found a small amount of marijuana and he was fined $ 150.

And six meals a day! I wondered why, if her reasoning was that “1200 calories a day was too much food” for her body to lose weight, she didn’t just eat LESS! Side note, I have TLC on in the background and didn’t even notice Joyce’s story was now replaced by Gina’s, because their voices sound EXACTLY THE SAME!

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!

so waif-like!

The little bow is a nice touch!

I did NOT look at the photos, but this explains the common confusion: Panniculus, often incorrectly referred to as pannus, is a medical term describing a dense layer of fatty tissue, consisting of excess subcutaneous fat within the lower abdominal region. Apparently it's the medical term for what I've heard called a "fat apron" edited to add: Is that also what is referred to nowadays as a FUPA, or is that lower on the body? I guess Joyce's folds mean that she has both?

I'll take it one further. A fat sitter could be replaced by an emotionless vending machine called the "Fat Feeder." (Trademark MINE!) It could dispense healthy food at timed intervals much like a morphine pump or one of those pet feeders.

I figured the commode chair must have been in Dawn’s car. I can’t imagine the crew attempting to slide a bedpan (or even a wee wee pad) under a 700 lb. dead weight, so that never was an option. When she got to Houston, she said she hadn’t “been to the bathroom all day” so I guess she didn’t wet the bed. Or worse. I wonder what she ATE on the 12 hour trip?

Watching the bonus scene of the unsuccessful pit stop on the trip to Houston (Dawn's fault for not being there, of course!) and all I can say is that the patient, encouraging Medical Transport driver deserves sainthood.

Code Blue at Dr. Now’s office! Send medical transport STAT!

it looked like a cow udder to me

Weight definitely affects your voice. Many of the women poundticipants on this show have breathy voices and sound like little girls. Often the men have weak high pitched voices, which I believe is weight related low testosterone levels. Haven't you ever spoken to someone on the phone that you've never seen but you can tell they're overweight from their pitch and breathing?

That's an entirely plausible explanation! The stethoscope bling might be some kind of signal booster.

My favorite scene was Mama shoveling half a pan of overstuffed lasagna onto Joyce's plate while saying, "When I used to see Joyce overeating, it made me livid..."

Looks like we're gonna need a bigger bus!
