Has anybody heard when the new episodes will show up on Discovery Plus? Sure hope we don’t have to wait until the season is over.

Totally agree!

😂 I thought the same thing so I rewound to double-check. I think (hope) she was actually wearing nude-colored flats.

I think I posted before it had been shown on regular, live TV. I get Discovery Plus and they put the show out there early. People sometimes get upset if you talk about it before they’ve even had a chance to see it. I would remove the spoiler tag now, but I don’t know how to do that. 🤷‍♀️

I couldn’t believe they got rid of the garage in order to find space for the bathroom. Surely in a house that size they could have reconfigured somewhere else to find the space. Remember, they are in prime tornado and hail country. You really have to have a garage or your car will be in the repair shop several times a year!

LOL I can identify with Ben regarding the table! The first piece of “real” furniture I ever bought was a kitchen/dining room table in 1989. It has been so beat up that I’ve had it stripped and refinished twice since then. I’m sure I’ve spent much more to refinish it than it cost to begin with, but that table symbolizes my first job, my first home and so much more. It will probably go with me to my grave!!

Love love love this week’s show!! Probably my favorite episode. Just shows what is possible even without knocking down walls.

The timeline threw me off too. I live in Texas and all medical facilities here are still very strict about masks. So I thought Dr. Now’s scenes must be pre-Covid. But then I spotted random masks in the audience at the church so that had to be filmed fairly recently.

Well, only if you like boring, completely uneventful episodes. But his wife was a gorgeous sweetheart!

I just got home and just started watching so forgive me if this has already been discussed to death, but dang I wish I had his wife’s figure! She’s gorgeous!

I love my water exercise classes. I usually go twice a week (indoor pool) and it’s the perfect balance of exercise and fun.

I have a question that I’ve wondered about for ages. Maybe someone here knows the answer. When they show these 600lb folks working out with a personal trainer, do the trainers have expertise in exercise for the morbidly obese? How does the trainer know how far to push them? In other words, how would the trainer know how much huffing, puffing and sweating is just good exertion and when is it bordering on a crisis?

I feel the same way, but it’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You WANT to look away, but you just can’t do it. I don’t know - maybe it’s just human nature. But I hate the fact that I watch this absurdity every week!

Or just pure meanness!

I know people approach situations differently, but I’m amazed at Tammy’s attitude that everyone should approach every situation with the thought of “will Tammy like it?” I’m probably too far the other direction, but I absolutely hate having to impose upon someone to help me - even when I know they don’t mind and truly want to help. The idea of going through life totally dependent on family simply because you refuse to take normal corrective action is mind-boggling. But I can also guarantee you, if that was my family, Tammy would have faced some serious tough love years ago and then, if she didn’t improve, she would have been left alone to fend for herself.

I thought the same thing and, actually, I think Dr. P. did too. He jumped up and backed away VERY quickly. Thank goodness he could got out of her reach before she could get close to him.

Wow! He looks great!! So glad he has done so well!

Yay!! New season starts tonight!

Totally agree!!

I can never decide if Tammy is truly as hateful and bitter as she looks or if she just has the ultimate resting bitch face. She always looks as though she absolutely despises everybody and everything she sees.

I was so confused by the whole weight thing. At the beginning of the episode, he said he had been weighed two months earlier. I think maybe he weighed 740 at that point?? Anyway, when the clinic scale couldn’t weigh him, why didn’t he just go back wherever he went two months ago? I think he had been in Montana longer than that so the scale would have been local. Episode should have just stayed lost!

And when you said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happened, you meant it!! No weigh-in, no trip to Houston, no excursions to grocery store, no restaurant visit, no trying to workout in a gym - it was a bizarre episode! My theory is that it was old, pre-Covid footage that they had originally shelved when he ghosted Dr. Now. Then a few months ago, someone dusted it off and made an episode out of it. What a waste of TV time!

I’m totally confused. I subscribe to Discovery + and it has all the seasons and episodes out there. I didn’t go through Amazon to get it, but I don’t know why that would make a difference. In fact, Discovery + sometimes has the episodes out there earlier than the national broadcast. I get the ad-free subscription if that makes any difference.

Oh yes! No relief from all the bleeping even on Discovery +.

There were a few episodes of My 600 LB Life that were infuriating to me because the patient was obviously mentally incapable of grasping the importance of what was happening in their life. And Dr. Now just kept haranguing the patient expecting something to miraculously change. Those people needed in-patient psychiatric care or they were never going to be able to lose any weight. Some of those patients have since died. Tammy is in that category of patient. She needs to be hospitalized and treated for both her weight and her psychiatric issues at the same time. I actually feel sorry for her because, even though she is totally obnoxious, I think she has severe mental problems that have been left untreated and there doesn’t seem to be a good way to get her the help she needs.
