    I know it's a radio show, but the other ladies on the show seem to be rather "fixed up".  Whitney looks like she just crawled out of bed and threw on the nearest clothes. Also, looking like that when going to "confront" a "boyfriend" about why he hasn't called her?  If you are going to go in that direction, don't you try to look your best so he can see what he's missing, not so he can see what he wants to run away from?  I, too, finally saw the "dance" video.  I will be 70 years old next month, I have arthritis in one knee -- and even I can do those moves.  (I stood in front of the computer and did it along with Whitney).   You move your feet when you dance, not just walk from one position to the other and wiggle your hips and raise your arms.  If it is "modern dance", you at least stretch your body,  I've seen better moves from someone drying themselves off after a bath or shower.   When they showed the dance class with the individuals dancing in the middle of a circle -- some of those ladies could really move like you would expect from someone actually dancing. .  I'm guessing they didn't learn it from Whitney.

    She did. She got up at 3, and had to be out the door by 3:30.  She didn't have time for much else.

    Is there a bed sheet out there that would cover her?

    The portrait that Lennie painted now rests above her bed.  You can see it in the bedroom episodes (that sounds bad...I mean, the scenes that show the bedroom -- like, her first day at her interning job) this season.  She is very proud of it, apparently.

    I was browsing through my tv guide for this coming week and for Vitney's show it says that she is posing nude for Lennie.

    All I can say is....WOW!!!

    That must be  a repeat. She posed "nude" -- she had a bedsheet covering her -- last season.

    They must be awfully thirsty at the end of the day since they seem to only drink things when they are together and can share.  They're big kids now!  They can get their own drinks! 

    And yes, the look in his eyes does totally creep me out. It's like he's trying to do some kind of mind meld/hypnotism trick.  Josh is trying to become hypnotoad.  The resemblance is uncanny.  

    She's looking at him with that Duggar wifely adoration thing. He's looking at her like, "Meh. You again?  Maybe if you wore a wig, and I could pretend you were someone else...."

    LMAO!! Dr Now: "Vitney is good at making excuse, she has to eat 8,000 calories a day to support her 598 pound. Her life is filled with enablers which is why she is 598 pound. These people are enabling her and her bad eating habit. If she doesn't change her eating habit, she is not going to see 40 year old"

    Will is onto you, Whit! 

    ETA: omg! Poor Maddie! We need to take up a collection to buy her eye bleach! Not even Lenny wants that view of her crotch!

    OMG...I just saw this. There should have been a warning crawling across the bottom of the screen.  I'll never be able to unsee that.

    Twitney needs to binge watch her earlier seasons because her first battle cry was she had NO PROBLEM getting guys at her size.  She stated that she didn't want any chubby chasers because she didn't want to be some guy's fetish fantasy.  What she has to admit now is the 400lbs+ means a different/smaller dating pool that the 300lb pool she was swimming in earlier.  I'm not sure who she thinks is going to come a-courting outside of the chubby chasers cause that personality of hers leaves a lot to be desired. 

    She has to hold on to this Lennie dude.  If she loses him it's one more thing that'll show how very unfabulous her life is becoming.  She can't groom herself, her body is breaking down, she can't sleep w/o the cpap machine, diabetes is staring her in the face and now to lose her man?  TLC will have to re-do the entire intro to the show because very little fabulosity is happening here.

    And speaking of not having any trouble getting guys in earlier seasons....it was the Wedding Dance episode...where she brought her gf down to ....rub her feet?  She has this girl drive down 5 hours to rub her feet?  And then the bride decides the stress of the dance is too much, so Whit and gf go to a bar.  And promptly find the young weird man with the blazer on with tennis shoes and no socks, and the dirty old man who is into...what was it? Squashing? I can't even bring myself to look that up on the net to find out what it is. I would probably end up on a bad list of some type.  Whit knew exactly what he was referring to, though. So she left the gf in the bar with him, and took off for fresh air with the strange young man (who was there WITH the old perv, so I don't get that at all)....

    I know the bit I posted is from an earlier episode, but it piggybacked  on the, "I have no trouble getting a man" comment that I quoted.  Whitney in the first season is somewhat different than Whitney now. But she still used her tears, and acted like a child, to get her way.

  8. I bought and downloaded the episode from last night because I wasn't able to watch it when it aired.  So I'm catching up in bits and pieces. 

    That gym bathroom scene with Will...........she is so delusional about herself -- and I hate to even use the word delusional, because that implies that you're not in your right mind and maybe don't know what you're doing, and I think Whit knows EXACTLY what she's doing...but that part where she's whining about how Will only remembers her as a 200lb person, and how now he knows she's capable of that, and he's going to hold her to it, and sniffle, sniffle, hiccup, more tears.....

     

    OMG....I cannot bear to watch this woman anymore. I have to take her in baby doses.

    Tal eating generic fruit loops cereal with Whit. He's a fucking counselor!  Talk abt  enabling.  How about going for a walk with her around the block? 

    Whit was definitely shoveling in such  large spoonfuls of cereal that she cd barely close her mouth to chew.  Love how she holds her food bowl  up to her chin.  And I bet it was whole milk,  not skim.  Rationalizing her food choices: bad or worse?  Hmmmmm, let's see. You're right,  Whit!  Bad is better than worse.  Not. God knows there are no low sugar, adult cereals out there.  (Even regular Cheerios is less sugar than most cereals,  and I have searched. )

    I hate when anyone,  but esp. women, act stupid.  Whit knows better and she knows how to read (labels). Oh, wait,  what's that?  You don't want to get onto that food issues thing you had before?   Ok. So, don't even try to make a few changes,  and use the support of your trainer, family,  and friends,  and THERAPIST to go slow.  No, no, no. Eat crap and disable yourself more.  

    Also, doesn't anyone sit at a fucking table and eat properly in this show?  

    (bbm)

    I agree about the cereal -- she does not need to be eating the huge amounts of carbs that she is. I've done a lot of personal research over the past few years regarding dieting myself, and it's a fact that unused carbohydrates (those not burned off through activity) are turned into fat in your body. Now, I'm not a scientist, so I can't explain the whole process to you, but you can find it if you search. I do know that your body has two fuels it can burn off for energy -- either carbs or fat.  If you remove a lot of the carbs from your diet (and get them from vegetables, not breads, pasta, etc) your body has no choice but to burn fat as its fuel source.   Also (please don't throw anything at me), healthy fats are not the enemy when one is following a low carb diet.  If you have a lot of weight to lose, you'd want to eat less fat, so your body will use your stored fat stores for energy.  But fat satiates you.  It makes you feel full. I'm taking healthy fat sources. Not bowls of ice cream.  And you eat less when you're not eating empty calories.  Having said all that, if I were a hard core athlete, I'm sure I could eat more carbs.  I really believe Whit  would benefit from a low carb, moderate protein, and healthy fat diet.

    Yup. Turn on the tears when the trainer is throwing the bullsh!t flag at you. He's got her number and she knows it. She can't even give him a straight answer about what the "supposed" chiropractor said. Lying liar that lies.

    This girl has some serious, serious issues.   Turn on the tears, get an instant reprieve.  I wish someone on the show would have the you-know-whats to call her on it, the next time she dissolves into a blubbery, self-pitying heap.  I know many here are are giving Will kudos for standing up to her.  I saw Will immediately back off when she was fake-sobbing in the bathroom.  Like a 3 year old.  So everyone could hear.

    The Fitty Smalls videos...how proud Babs and Glenn must have been.  How is that not just soft fat-porn?  Twit said early on that she was not interested in attracting "chubby chasers."  Who does she think is watching, and enjoying these videos?  No body shame is one thing, but there is also a lot to be said for having some sense of decency, dignity and self-respect.

    (above, bbm)

    What are those????

  12. In watching past episodes right up until this one, I've realized just how manipulative she is.  The tears. She turns them on to get people to back off whenever the conversation about her weight or eating gets serious. And now she's just a manipulative bully.

  13. Sorry if this has already been mentioned -- I'm watching old episodes, catching up on what I've never watched.

    This episode -- what is her problem with weighing herself? Is it just denial -- like, she can't bear to actually know what she weighs? She says she doesn't want to get "tied" to a number.  I'm sorry.That's BS, and I don't mean body-shaming.  You have to know where you stand.  You don't need to let it define you, but to stick your head in the sand, and refuse to weigh yourself, or take your measurements -- that's just an avoidance tactic to give you a free license to continue on your self destructive path, because if you don't know those numbers, well, then, there's nothing for you to face.

    And then she goes on in this episode bemoaning the fact that she's been dancing like crazy, and still isn't losing any weight, and she doesn't know what to do.  Is she serious? I am always amazed at how people with a college education can sometimes be so stupid (I have a degree, not a hater statement).  Why does it never occur to her to change what she's eating?Because she doesn't want to?  Because that's the last pleasure she has in life?  I would LOVE to see what she eats in a day.

    She mentioned during the show that she was reluctant to use the scooter because she knew what people would think of seeing her use it instead of walking.

    She mentions a lot of things. Like how PCOS is making her fat; she mentions that at least 10 times each episode.

  15. Since you can now see both seasons on Hulu (1 & 2), I decided to watch from the beginning, since I've only watched here and there, and rarely, with the exception of this season, watched full episodes.

    So I'm 8 minutes into Season 1, Episode 1. I cannot believe the difference in Whitney, and I don't mean her size, because it looks pretty much the same.  Her attitude.  She's crying in this episode about people looking through her and ignoring her because she's fat (wait till you hit 50! It's funny but you start to get treated like you're invisible then, too. Especially if you're not supermodel material.  People just look right through you. Unless they're related to you, or older than you.  But I mean, like store clerks, etc.)  Anyway, I digress.  She's apparently always had this raw, raunchy sense of humor, and doesn't mind talking about sex in front of her parents.  But I wonder when she made the mental switch to pretending other people's comments or actions didn't affect her?  Seeing her in this episode vs her riding that scooter in the parade are like night and day, as far as her attitude goes.

  16. Did she even take a shower before going to work? I know, I know...I'm a germophobe.  My sister showers at night, and then just rolls out of bed, runs a comb through her hair, and goes to work.  I don't mean to be indelicate or disrespectful to anyone here, but I've been around people the size of Whitney, and, to be frank, if you don't bathe, you may not smell nice.  I hope I haven't ticked everyone off.  I'm just hoping she did take a quick shower, and they didn't show it.  But she got up at 3, and left at 3:30, so....I am not sure. But on your first day, you'd think you'd want to put forth your best impression.

    Thanks for the insider info!

    I was pretty much embarrassed for every person in every minute of this ep, so for brevity's sake I will stick to the parade.  Aren't all St. Patrick's Day parades super long and a big deal?  Other than hanging out in an Irish bar, that's pretty much all that holiday is.  Maybe TLC signed them up for it, and therefore Whitney's sore back was just malingering so she could ride the scooter and not walk the whole way?  Her trainer did say she was super crafty about getting out of exercise :)

    And those "costumes"!  And the dance itself!  If I were in BGDC you can bet I would have been at home feigning illness!  The whole thing was terrible - I thought the judges all looked kind of stunned.  And if you are advertising yourself as Big Girls Dancing, then your performance should be more than a fit man and (what appeared to me to be) a skinny teen doing jump rope tricks and acrobatics while a bunch of heavy women shimmy around them.  

    And I don't say this just to insult them - I thought their performance last season at the baseball game was fun and well executed.  But this!  Anyone who was not ashamed of herself for this display should be ashamed of herself :)

    I didn't see the performance at the baseball game last year, but if they were that unprepared for the parade, why didn't they just do the same routine they did at the baseball game, I wonder?

    Not to discredit anyone with PCOS who has lost a lot of weight, but how many of those are able to successfully keep it off for good, especially when it is well known that most people regain most if not all of their weight?  I'm talking over the long haul, like for 30 years?  It might take a life pretty much devoted to mostly diet and exercise to achieve that, which IMO is one reason Jillian Michaels might have been so successful.  But not everyone should be expected to be an athlete on the order of Jillian, and I think it's kind of unfair to compare her with anyone else, including Whitney. 

    Also, I have been reading lately that the heavier a person is, the more difficult it becomes for them to lose weight.  This is a physical issue where the body metabolism slows down all the more the heavier a person is.  It's not an issue of self-control.  Jillian Michaels was never anywhere near as heavy as Whitney (I read that she once weighed all of 175 lbs., no more), plus her weight loss occurred at a younger age than Whitney, so I venture to guess that it was that much easier for her to achieve, PCOS or no PCOS.

    Also, a lot of people have other issues, such as arthritis and back problems that limit the amount of exercise they can realistically do.  Plus those who suffer PCOS often have a lower BMR than others, plus the insulin resistance works against them, not to mention lifestyle issues such as caring for a family, working at a desk job, etc. that impact the time they can spend on exercise, etc.  And not everything is just a matter of willpower or lifestyle changes, either.  I don't think we know how hard it is for anyone compared to anyone else relatively speaking.  I think it's valid to get on Whitney for not doing what is in her power to do within reason but expecting her to have the same success as Jillian Michaels is just not fair.

    I think the reason people regain whatever weight they lose is because they look at whatever eating plan they're on as a temporary thing (until I lose the weight), and then once they do, they promptly go back to the way they used to eat, which is what made them overweight in the first place.  The trick is to find a way of eating that  you're prepared to follow for the rest of your life.  Not "a diet", but "your diet" (as in, what you typically eat).

    Did anyone else find it strange that TLC just happened to be there filming when Whitney threw her back out in the shower, or is it just me?

    Yes! Thanks for reminding me of that!  I thought it was odd too, like, what are the chances?

    Whit just loved it that Roy, the coworker boss, "needed" a larger chair like she did at the restaurant.  I don't think he did.  He was just being nice by getting a larger chair for himself when he got hers.  If he had needed a bigger chair, he would have already been sitting in it when she arrived. I wish he wouldn't have been so nice & would have loved to seen her getting her own bigger chair. 

    ETA:  just remembered they all arrived together at restaurant but it looked like Roy fit fine in his original chair. 

    I agree. He was just trying to be kind to her.

    I love him. He said everything I'd want to say to her -- "You're really happy at what you see when you look in the mirror??"  "You know you shouldn't be eating this crap," etc.

    I don't know what's fake or real anymore regarding this show, but it sure does get me spun up!
