Sounds like Marty's gotta a lot on his plate. That 90/10 "treasure division" sounds like a potential legal nightmare.

Wait, did the rehab center really tell him it was okay to drink? I must have missed that.

I'm surprised she didn't haul all of her old diaries out.

Yep, Whitney would never seriously entertain the thought of having to sacrifice all of that attention.

That's a good point. I'm assuming the vet had better things to do than hold Whitney's hand.

LMAO! I wonder if Henchi had to shit on her bed to get her attention. Poor kitties.

I kept a few things like Heather did. Once in a blue moon I'll stumble across them and go through them. It's a nice little stroll down memory lane. Yeah after seeing the previews, I think she still has a thing for Buddy.

Losing a pet is the worse thing about having them. Although, Whitney's ridiculous whispered announcement to Babs seemed over the top to me, in addition to the fact that the crew gave her the option to handle that privately.

Yeah, Buddy seemed to be pretty vulnerable at that point. I don't understand why he would put himself through all of this bullshit with Heather. I totally understood him when he said he just wanted it to go away already. The pig dying was sad, and I felt badly for Babs. I've shed tears over losing a pet too, but Whitney's whispered announcement was ridiculous. She reminded me of a three year old who just lost her first pet. The drama with Henchi's vet was kind of silly.

Animal-lover here: for Christ sake, get the cats fixed already. Does she not see how stressed out they are with their new "brother"? Plus you know the boys are marking up the house. Give Henchi back to Babs already. i hope the TLC money is damn good because that is the only reason I can think of preventing Buddy and Heather to tell Whitney to just mind her own damn business. Whit loves to fuck with people's minds, doesn't she? LOL at her attempt to "garden". I guess stomping onto a metal shovel in bare feet isn't as painful as running an 8k.

Exactly! I noticed how her whole demeanor with the medic changed too. I'm surprised there were no shots of her bloody, badly blistered feet. I mean, if they can show the chub rub cream being applied, why not the feet?

OMG, this picture!!! I had forgotten about her stating that she didn't like cake. Maybe it's like ice cream and she slowly introduced it back into her diet rotation again.

It has to piss her off-boo bear is stealing her thunder!!

I'm from Michigan too and have never heard of confederate gold in the lakes. Maybe this "treasure" will be done by dives? I also think that the archeologist (Laird?), doesn't appear too involved with much of the excavation. Is this because the island is owned by the Lagina brothers?

And big boned.

It seems like there a lot of folks that have been banned from her FB page for the same reason. I think she's sicced some of her "fans" on some of those posters, too.

Aw, don't give up, StripperGlitter. Maybe your husband thought he was trying to be helpful and motivate you. I can easily see my partner doing that too-sometimes the guys really need to work on adjusting their brain-to-filters. I'm also wondering if Whitney's blisters were caused by the probability that her shoes weren't broken in. I can easily imagine her pulling them out of her closet and blowing the dust off them thinking that she'll be fine. Also, I'm sure that changing into flip flops and walking without shoes didn't help the fact that her feet were hurting so badly.

Hey, what a great Christmas or birthday gift idea!!

Yeah, I have Dish too, and their timing sucked. I am DYING to see this episode just based on all of the comments here. Did Whit seem sincerely thank those other racers who were trying to encourage her? Because based on some of the FB comments she made to her fans, I wouldn't be surprised if she gave them fake smile and made a snarky comment afterwards.

Haven't been able to see the episode yet (thank you Dish TV), but yeah, having to use a rag on a stick should be a damn wake up call. FWIW, when we're assessing toileting needs (yes this is a real area that we address), we call them "toileting or personal hygiene aids". There are different types: the ones that allow wash rags and wipes to be attached and the tongs (which remind a little too much of my BBQ tongs) among others. We used to see some home made devices too. One that stands out to me is a yard stick with a man's plastic urinal attached to the end. Gentlemen, if you can't reach your junk, it's time to reassess what your life has become. Unfortunately, some folks needed the equipment for reasons that weren't related to morbid obesity and were absolutely mortified with this situation. But I've worked with more than a few "Whitney types" who seemed pretty casual about the topic. Suffice to say, this was not one of my favorite patient ed. topics.

Yep, her mantra of "I've lost 100 lbs.", will become the next "Ow, my leg!"

Freaking Dish TV! Of course they pulled TLC last night right before the fun began. Although, I was LMAO at the comments you all made. Todd applies chub-rub cream? Whitney runs (attempts) to run an 8K in flip flops? Has a breakdown during said race? Blames her performance on a potential "snapped achilles tendon? Is whiny and an overall brat to all involved? I've GOT to see the drama, dammit, even though some things sound like the "same shit, different day".

Whew, that's what I was hoping!

No, just being real (I couldn't tell if you're just joking). Besides, I'm including my chunky little self in those comments! Honestly, if Whitney wants a reality check (and I'm thinking she doesn't), she should work in a healthcare setting with the morbidly obese. The self-care issues that the folks on My 600lb. Life deal with are the reality of day to day life. Having 2 or 3 people roll your body side to side to get you cleaned up-check. Having to do it quickly because side-lying makes it harder to breath due to the excess weight-check. Having to wipe yourself with "toileting or personal hygiene aids" (the tongs)-check. Having someone else assist you with lower body dressing-check. Teaching prevention and medication use to prevent yeast infections between skin folds-check. I am an OT and these ADL's (activities of daily living) are what we teach our patients. I've enjoyed working with most people, but those who don't care (and I'm not exclusively referring to the morbidly obese), just wear me the hell out. It damn sure isn't fabulous.

Hi all-new to this forum. but I have to chime in and say that I'm appalled at the way Whitney dresses. I'm 177 lbs. and don't like wearing sleeveless tops either. The bottom line is that I'm just not fit or toned enough to look good in them. It's nothing to do with lack of confidence, but rather the fact that I know that this isn't a good look for me. Damn, I want to look good! Her comment to the poster who had lost 4 lbs. was pretty shitty. Sorry Whitney, but you've got to pay attention to the numbers and I'm not just not talking about the scale and clothing sizes either. Hypertension? Pre-diabetes? Cholesterol? I've worked in healthcare for 20 years and had access to my patient's medical histories. There were so many times that you could just see the warning signs but people just ignored them. I really ran out of patience listening to the excuses too. 300, 400 and 500 lb. people who "just don't understand" why they've got respiratory, cardiac and orthopedic problems but have a large bag of Cheetos and a liter of Mountain Dew on their bedside table (that really happened, BTW). Ugh. quit pretending already.
