One hour? Try staying up several nights in a row with a colicky baby. You have to give up alot of yourself to be a good parent, you have to come second at least for a few years. I sympathize Clarewalks, both my parents were narcissist's. My mother and I didn't get along at all, but I had an ok relationship with my dad. Luckily I married a man who's the complete opposite,

Me either, but there will be one. I just hope she doesn't become disabled and dependent on her parents full time.

That's awful. 380 at 5'2" is not in anyway healthy, especially if she's still smoking and drinking alcohol. She doesn't want to loose weight, that's her choice but if she doesn't change something she's going to be very unhappy when she hits her 40's, if she lives that long. For me at least the 40's were a time when things started to go wrong, vision got worse, blood pressure shot up. If she doesn't already, she will have high blood pressure very soon.

I just finished watching this episode. I DVR it so I can skip past the 30 minutes of commercials TLC blesses us with. Some quick thoughts. I really liked seeing the women at the Charlotte big girl dance class. As a big girl myself I can appreciate how intimidating it is to go to an exercise class especially when you don't feel good about yourself. I'd really like to see the show push more for that storyline instead of these nonsense ones like Buddy and Heather (please stop!) and Whitney and Tal becoming parents (yea sure). Why can't Whitney just let Buddy go and do what he needs to do? Did she ever think maybe he's moving to get away from her? Why did Whitney's head keep changing shape throughout her TH interviews? Sometimes there was a flattish bump and other times it looked 4" high. Is there no one at TLC that checks for continuity? Tal moving in, I thought he had his own place and a partner? Something nice to say, I see Whitney was wearing jeans at the balloon thing, that was different they looked nicer than the spandex.

That skeeved me out. I'm not a clean freak but I wash my hands several times a day. Speaking of hands I hope Tal washed his before he put them all over Ashley's baby's hands, she'll probably have them in her mouth at some point. After this last flu outbreak stuff like that bugs me.

I've been reading some comments from earlier episodes, and I see that Whitney is also a pack a day smoker? Why was this never addressed on the show? No wonder she's always so winded just doing basic things, like walking. At her size that's like playing Russian roulette. I noticed in Season 1 when her mother is picking up her dirty plates from her room there were alot of wine bottles in there too. She needs some good therapy to deal with all her addictions. Also I don't believe everything is as loving with her family as they make it seem. She's got alot of issues and I'm sure a good portion of them come from her parents. Her father in particular comes off as a nag, she's always talking about what a perfectionist he is and how she hates to disappoint him. Her overeating could be her way of giving Dad the finger.

I feel bad because I find this video so funny. That guy doing the Burpee does a push up, Whit just lays flat on her stomach and then kind of lumbers to a standing position.; Does she really think this is an achievement and something to be proud of?

Thank you Pachengala, it hasn't been easy but watching Whitney has helped me to not be a wimp and work through the pain.

Yes! Thank you. Swimming would be perfect for her, as would the stationary bike and plain old ordinary walking. Why is she stressing that she's not exercising for weight loss? That should be her number one goal. Those sit ups are horrible she looks like she'll do more damage to herself doing the exercises this way, she's probably better off not doing them at all.

Long time lurker here, first time posting. This video is annoying the crap out of me. I got hit by a car on November 6th and spent 3 months in a wheelchair. Learning to walk again has been incredibly painful. I have a flight of 17 concrete steps outside my front door and I did this exact same thing going up the other day, carrying my dog in my arms. It was a big accomplishment for me, maybe I can get my own tv show?
