So disappointing that this show is over next week. When it first started, I Never watched, now it's one of my faves! That and NY, is some of the best tv I've seen in a long time. Maybe I need to get out more...

I actually liked Katherine’s ‘costume’ at polo. Because it was just that, a costume. I think she’s rather brilliant at playing the tv show game. I don’t think this was just a casual, run-of-the-mill get together to watch Thomas play polo, not with cameras all around and everything being filmed. She ensured being the star...the main attraction, all eyes (especially Ashley’s!) were on her. I think she played it pretty smart. And I love her clothes most of the time. I think she knows fashion the best out of all of them, I love seeing her on screen, love to see what she will wear next! Sure beats the heck out of Sheree schlepping around in gray sweats all season long on Atlanta. My one critique is I wish Katherine didn’t slouch so much. But that may change as she feels more confident.

Not next week :( you have to wait 2 weeks. 4th of July.

I bet she’s bitching to everyone she makes eye contact with. Girl has no filter. If thomas promised to take care of her, she should have said that on camera when he was complaining about her not working. That would have been interesting. I would have liked to see him deny it.

I think Katherine is stunningly beautiful and looks better every time she’s shown. She’s all I look at when she’s on camera with the rest of them. She certainly has ‘presence’. on the flip side, Ashley had so much tinted foundation or tanner on, she looked grubby. While at the polo match, Katherine seemed to shine with a light from within, while Ashley looked like a gnarled, angry little goblin with a dark cloud over her head. You could see the energy through the screen.

Agee, also the way he handled that INSANE conversation - if you can call it a conversation- with Ashley! He was graceful as she threw herself at him! I think that was one of the nuttiest discussions I ever saw on this show and had to rewind to be sure I heard it correctly.

I agree with everything you posted! If someone is commenting on a stranger at the gym, who is doing nothing but trying to work out, there is mental illness at play. WW will not seek janelle’s endorsement because WW wil expect RESULTS, something Janelle with her myriad of excuses will never accomplish. She is not serious about losing weight. If she doesn’t understand that she can throw together an easy snack like turkey or yogurt and a banana, or allow herself a slice of margarita pizza and salad with her family, but instead worries about food prep constantly, and keeps trying to impress with the exotic, she’s a lost cause.

I’m snarking on her FAKE healthy lifestyle. I’m snarking on the NERVE she has plenty of, to try and charge me money for advice on something she so clearly knows nothing about, for Heaven’s sakes! And for her boring brown plates full of food that is not simple, not appetizing, not inspirational. Watermelon on a brown plate. Wow. Here, let me write you a check for $35! Oh, wait, tell me more about how haaaarrrrd it is to get to the gym, how even though you don’t have a 9-5, or babies at home, how too busy you are to schedule a workout. Even though you WANT TO CHARGE ME $$ to tell me all about working out! Are you kidding me? No, really. Are you kidding? Her feeling self conscious at the gym is irrelevant. That’s not why I’m here posting. Making fun of someone overweight trying at the gym is not snarking. That is stupidity, and people who do that are knuckle-dragging apes. I’m making fun of her delusional choice at a money making venture. If she was charging a fee for daily complaining and excuse-making, then taking a nap, I could get behind that. She’s a perfect fit for that. And she’s the end result. Healthy Lifestyle? Not so much.

You’re absolutely right. Something I have to remind myself constantly.

I would go Bear on them. Seriously.

I don't believe Janelle is at all working out regularly. If she was, by now she wouldn't be complaining about it, by now she would be craving it! If she was a regular at the gym, she would be pushing people out of her way to get at that cycling machine. I live in an area where most of the people are extremely fit (and yes, it can get intimidating on occasion), right after hurricane sandy blew through, everyone here lost power for weeks. Every business every home. Not many were set up with generators yet, and there was a gas shortage too, so the gas generators weren't really used a lot either. I couldn't get over the people I saw walking, running, power walking in the streets the next day! I wanted to scream at them, "don't you have more important things to think about than your precious workouts?!?!?" Lol. But nope. They weren't deterred from working out! It amazed, angered, then impressed me in that order.

I think Regulars are very territorial over 'their' regular bike or treadmill. That's what the hostility is all about. To the skinny as well as the fat. I'm a kind of pushy person (my kids call me Bear, ("uh-oh, watch out, here comes Bear") and I don't give a crap if they get pissy. But I get that that takes a certain kind of personality...I just live by the motto, I'm surrounded by fools, who cares what they think, they're fools.

If you think you're being judged at the gym, get out of your own head. Because that's the only place you're being judged.

I belong to a planet fitness. It is such a huge, transient gym, no one really 'sees' anyone to really judge them. And I'm sorry to say this, but no one really pays attention to middle-aged women to even judge them. I say this as a middle-aged woman. :)

I couldn't get over her idiotic post that you are commenting on! Who the hell has time to go to the gym and start looking / judging who is on what equipment????( unless like you said, they're taking too long on it) Who are these empty-lived weirdos that Janelle is so intimidated by?? Omg! If she is busy, like she always says, 'carving out gym time', then she's like me, running in to the gym purposefully, jumping on the equipment she needs, then running back to work, like I do. All I worry about heading in is having my hair tie and water bottle. If this is what she's still concerned about after all this time of working out, she ain't working out regularly. By now, gym-going would be her routine, she wouldn't still be focused on middle-school worries. Her posts are eye-rolling every time. YES! Another 1k likes! And she wants to be my health coach.

1k likes. This is it in a nutshell. It all rings hollow and fake. And the biggest negative is her appearance. If I get to look like her when I eat and do what she does, then no thanks! I'll NOT have what she's having!

Blah, blah, freakin blah. "Balance, sanity, clarity, energy, peace". Words just strung together, with no inspiration, meaningless useless word salad. See? I can do it too! Joyful, harmonious , authentic, spiritual retreat. Useless, banal platitudes, inspiring no one, ever. Hey, is this a haiku??

My husband and I swear by Apple cider vinegar. It brought his cholesterol down, and worked unbelievably on my shingles last winter! But it has to be the kind 'with mother'. I'm surprised she would call it 'craziness'. It's really been out there mainstream for about 5 years now. I really just have no respect for the bullshit that comes out of her. Her unappetizing recipes, her unmotivating workout regimens. She's playing at healthy lifestyle.

She thinks Apple cider vinegar is 'craziness', but then thinks putting butter in her coffee is run-of-the-mill. I would never take any nutrition advice from this yokel.

I think Cameron is beautiful, and smart and witty, but darn it, something about her just irks me. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, she just seems 'well-crafted'. She has some experience in the reality tv biz before Southern Charm, and knows how to play it. I think she's probably smarter than all of them put together.

And all things being equal, the best investment anyone can make is real estate. I'm not counting getting lucky buying Apple in 1998, or getting an insider tip on a tech stock that takes off. Be it the right location/right price, it will make good money for you, you just need the down payment and balls of steel. Thomas is making big money in real estate. He's doing it right. That's why the other two (shep, Craig) are scrambling to follow his lead. I bet shep's beach house will be on the market in 4 years, and I bet it will double in value. No one ever gets rich putting their money in the bank. Especially today!

I'm no spring chicken, and just bought a summer rental property with a 30 year mortgage. I have no intention of paying it off! Lol! The tax insentives are plentiful-I'm even allowed to write off the gas money I spend to drive to it for maintenance and repairs, I have renters paying off the mortgage, and can enjoy it myself whenever I want. One day, maybe I'll sell it and pocket the equity and the property value increase, or let my kids do that. I was taught that a mortgage being payed off regularly is "good debt", much like "good cholesterol" ;) It is much more advantageous to have a mortgage, tax-wise, than to pay off a mortgage entirely to the bank. There's a reason properties that are mortgaged are called "tax shelters".

I believe Katherine was on a bender. There. I said it. I don’t have faith in her. And kicking addiction is often impossible for many. I just don’t believe she turned her life around so quickly. Sad.

He could then posterize it in Photoshop to give it a cool, modern feel. Threw away yet another opportunity. It’s disgusting really. So many talented, hard-working people would kill to have these chances. Such a waste.

I don't think that was real breast milk. Breast milk isn't that thick and white. It's thinner and less opaque. You have to shake it a bit if it's been sitting in a bottle. I noticed it right away.
