Abby is looking for a rich man (well, rich to her, I guess) who can buy her new computers, ipads, and 190 pairs of underwear and other various pieces of clothing for her to resell. In exchange for all these material things, she will sleep with him.
It was obvious from their meeting face to face that she is not attracted to him (maybe to his money) -- she looks like she's just playing the part - a means to an end. She wants "things" and a better life, and he wants a certain type of girl -- and feels he's found her. I'm really not impressed with either of them.

This is what I was going to say, even without a list of food to avoid anyone with 3 brain cells could deduce that fried rice is worse than regular rice, I never underserstood his logic. It's totally Dr. Now's fault, he probably only listed to avoid "rice" but said nothing about fried rice, you can see where James was misled.
I call total BS, like I truly hope this story isn't even true, because if this physical therapist even remotely believes any of this stuff then I fear for the others in his care... maybe he lost his phone in one of James' fat rolls during a session, and when James (or Leesa) fished it out they made comments using the PT's emails/accounts.
A few in the past have claimed they were given little guidance only to be disproven by other patients, I want to say even some not featured on the show, but I don't remember the source for that so I don't want to misrepresent, but regardless it seems they are given lots of education outside of what we actually see on tv.
Probably the "don't eat" list said something like, "avoid all "white carbs" -- potatoes, pasta, rice. (although, come to think of it, I would think even the healthier versions of these foods would be off-limits. Anyway, I digress. James must have thought, it's fried rice (and hence, brownish in color), and it was the "white" rice he was supposed to avoid. ~smh~

Was it the group where the woman has a crush on Steven Assanti?
I must say, I haven't really been a regular participant in the group to know what's going on, but Bettie Jo Elmore is a regular contributor.

First off, sending love and prayers to Anchorabu and her mom....
Secondly, I belong to one of the Facebook groups that some of the show's participants belong to. Some there are saying that the people on the show get no perks for being on the show (no $$, no relocation $$, no vehicles, no free weight loss surgery, etc.). Is this true? Because...I can't imagine putting yourself out there like that and uprooting your family and your life, all for an hour's worth of questionable fame.
They have branded me a bully (of sorts) for not jumping onboard the sympathy train for one of the former cast members, who now finds herself the object of admittedly mean memes. I merely pointed out that this cast member had to know that putting her life out there for public consumption would result in good and bad attention, but that she didn't mind when she was getting all the perks of being on the show (which I assumed to be some type of financial assistance as well as weight loss surgery).

How is it that Charity and Charley have no worries about Bills, Money or anything. They just can Say "I will have the surgery, or we can have fast food" In their world, is everything FREE? if so, they need to buy some curtains and do something about that apartment.
And why was their front window duct-taped up?
I'm hoping it was due to the filming.

Can someone remind me (I missed the first 10 minutes)...how old is Charity? I was thinking her boyfriend was her son. I am so confused. Does she have no teeth? Her mouth is oddly concave.

Condolences to his family and friends.He was called, I think, the half-ton man. There is a video upthread, showing his journey to weightloss.

Chad's voiceovers were remarkably repetitive, more than the usual fortune cookie stuff we hear each episode. Chad's seemed to be exclusively "I love my family. I want to provide for them" and "I want to stay on track". Please, TLC, hire some new writers!
As much as I enjoyed watching Chad's success, if I hear, "I want to provide for my family" one more time, I'll scream. Every third sentence of his was, "I want to provide for my family". We get it, buddy, that's important to you, and you're happy you can do it now. We're all glad for you, too, but we heard you the first 50 times you said it!
In regards to the taking his family in the truck -- I think they enjoyed it -- I thought it was a cool way to spend the summer. They were going to see sights they probably wouldn't get to see, otherwise. I bet they never forget that summer.

I am sorry, I am an old time "academic" and if that makes me an "education snob" then so be it. It just irks me to see people that IMO don't have the smarts it should take to get a graduate degree flaunting it on national TV. I am just so over the idea that everyone is graduate school material, and the second and third rate institutions that offer substandard educations to substandard students. Everyone is not that capable or smart and it devalues a REAL education to give them so-called graduate degrees. I have worked with many MBAs and others that have substandard intelligence, low vocabulary and poor grammar, not to mention lack of knowledge of basic things like English, history, geography, math and science. I busted my ASS at a REAL university over 30 years ago to achieve what is light years over what passes now for an education, plus I worked at the university itself to pay for my education. So excuse me if I don't exactly think Jiya is PhD material. If she were, she'd have more important things on her mind than acting like a ratchet bitch on this stupid show.
Save me a seat on the academic snob bus. I busted my butt getting a bachelor's degree (back when going to college required work). A few years ago, my niece got her MBA from a McCollege -- I'm pretty sure she bought most of her test answers, and probably her thesis, online.

I admit to occupying what few brain cells I have left on other stuff during the show. I missed the jelly reference. Surely it's OK to call strawberry jelly, jelly (tho strawberry preserves are better)? Was someone talking about something besides the sweet, wiggly, jewel-like food we all know and love?
"Jelly" as in, "Todd was "jelly" -- jealous, about her getting a part in the fitness guy's exercise video, and he didn't.

I think it is unethical for Dr. Paradise to treat both mom and son.
Wouldn't that be considered family therapy? My ex-husband and I had the same counselor -- we saw her separately, and at times, together. We had an abusive relationship -- my ex was the abuser.

Don't ask me how, but I actually fell asleep during this episode, and haven't seen a replay. She kissed her cat? And not just one of those sweet little kisses on top the head that I give my mini schnauzer every day?

Whitney's dad doesn't give her any slack and I love it. In one of the flashback segments....
Dad: So how much weight do you want to lose?
Whit: About 100 lbs.
Dad: Pauses, Is that enough?
He kills me every time.
I'd love to see a sit down conversation about Whitney and her weight issues between Glenn and Dr. Now.

Dr. Now smackdown was epic. When he gets pissed, there is no stopping him.
Even if Sean's Mom is out of the picture, Sean will never have a normal life. He didn't even know what a friggin' mango was. What a sad life. When he talked about his mom being in the hospital, he went into a disassociated state. He was saying he was worried about her, but didn't know how she was doing -- does he not know how to operate a phone? Very weird. When she dies, he'll end up in a group home, and knit away his life. He has no clue how to function even at a basic level.
I was thrilled to see Dr. Paradise again. He's a great therapist.
Brittani did great! She's so cute. Hopefully, her husband will get on board, and try and get healthy too.
I was wondering if the mom was unconscious, and maybe that's why he didn't call her?

I haven't had the surgery, but know a bit about it from watching television and reading. Dr. Now tells his patients that they will still be able to eat pretty much anything they want, but cannot eat much at a time. Even though the stomach is considerably smaller, it can stretch again from overeating. Many patients we see on the show have easily piled the pounds back on. Some also don't realize that the surgery is not a cure-all, and they will still have to practice self-control to lose the weight and keep it off. I daresay that many of these people wouldn't have the surgery if they realized it beforehand. To quote Penny Seager, "I didn't know I'd have to lose weight after I got here."
I've never heard him say you can eat pretty much what you want. But maybe I missed that part. :) He touts the low to no carb, veggies, no fruit, absolutely no sugary desserts,chips or bread, diet - before surgery, and the soft food diet for quite a while after surgery.

It is actually a style adopted by female hispanics called "chola". It has certain characteristics, but one that seems to always be present is the dark lined lips.
Thank you for the insight! I hate to say this, but it looks awful to me.....but that could be because once I worked with a lady (non-hispanic and at least 20 years ago), who put on lipliner and forgot to color the rest in with lipstick.

I see her makeup is back. Her lips remind me of the opening title sequence of Orange is the New Black.
What's up with her lips? It looks like she used lip liner and forgot to use lipstick on her lips. Is this some type of odd beauty trend?

Gilbert and Lupe....ugh! I don't know which one I can't stand more. Gilbert is a dog, but I feel like Lupe is an enabler to him being that dog. Hope she finally leave him for good.

The 2nd photo is dated a day after the first, so she probably got an X-ray that confirmed it was broken, not dislocated. And "pirouette"? How could she possibly believe she could get 400# up on one toe?
That's a pretty bad pedicure.

Thanks. Wow. She looks like Twit's twin, with a Mid-Eastern slant. She even sounds like Twit: "I'm fat and I love it." And her immersion in Feminist Studies.
This guy really, really has a type.
I was just coming here to post that! GMTA!

I have no idea. Likewise, I have no idea what strange and mystical road it was that took me to the website that listed them. I was just taken aback by that one. I don't know why. Oh wait! Now I remember: I was wondering how Babs was doing after her stroke, and ended up here: http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/whitney-thore-dog-died-124922/photos/whitney-thore-231153

So....I guess this goes here, since this is one of Whitney's instagram photos.
I'm just so weirded out by it. Her oddly shaped and slanting eyes, her porn-star pout...her naked shoulders....take your pick.

I kinda wonder if a golf cart can run over a human at a healthy weight. Golf carts aren't that big and don't have particularly powerful motors.
I am more surprised the golf cart was able to pull him, his dad, and the property manager.
Well, until he fell off.....
In fact, I don't think he fell off...I think the golf cart rebelled.
