  1. I'm way behind and just seeing this, but she didn't even read what he gave her??? And she isn't exercising because she doesn't belong to a gym? I think I'd rather she just lie instead.
  2. How in the world did I miss that she is in my hometown? I don't know her. I moved away more than 24 years ago. Maybe some younger relatives know her. Taylorville is not a big place.
  3. I really respected her for owning up to that and calling Dr. Now to explain, though. Gina was saying one thing to the confessional cameras and different things to Dr. Now and others.
  4. In 2013 I had two surgery procedures (one was in preparation for the larger 2nd procedure). They weighed me both times on the day of the surgery. It was part of the whole intake process. My surgery wasn't contingent on my weight. It was just routine for my doctors or for that particular hospital. ETA: the weigh-in was pretty much the first thing after I had done all day-of paperwork, so if the procedure had depended on my weight, they would have sent me home early in the process. *whispers* apparently my dad had to reschedule a colonoscopy because he didn't do the prep. Hate to say it, but when I heard the story, I was like, that does sound like dad.
  5. Some travel-safety training I had to take for work last year specified that we should always request lower floors (in case of evacuation, to get out quickly). Now you have me rethinking everything. If Gina was barely bathing, and she slept on the couch every night... I think I'd stay away from that couch. I apologize because I think I posted this before, but bathing always makes me feel *good*, and I can't imagine just not having the option.
  6. I think someone else on this forum explained copyright issues -- why they don't show anyone on the show watching tv or listening to music. We have seen poundticipants on phones and computers before. Maybe once we saw someone reading, although I'd think I was being rude if I were reading while sitting together with my family. Why they aren't having some sort of discussion, though -- no idea. I wonder if the producers tell them not to discuss certain topics, like politics, that could be controversial.
  7. I kept thinking of Louise from "Bob's Burgers."
  8. I wonder this *every* time. They often have such mobility issues that they barely get into the vehicle (I guess Gina had less of that problem than most), and then they stay right there for hours at a time. I have to have bathroom breaks or just walk-around breaks during long car trips. I think the show has addressed this at least once, with Rena and Lee -- I think she had to help him pee. I might not be remembering correctly.
  9. G: Oh, that's my chocolate milk. Me: Why the bleep does she have chocolate milk? Nutritionist: "Light" sour cream doesn't mean it's healthy. G: Oh, I never knew that. Did you know that? No one knew that. How can anyone know these things? OK, I'm sorry for paraphrasing a bit too much. I am someone who shouldn't be allowed near a refrigerator full of food, but I do know what a food label looks like. I was telling my poor hub that the poundticipants get a food plan from the doctor, but I was thinking maybe they should get a bunch of recipes also -- something on the simpler side. @ThereButFor, I just want to add cookbook (so it's written out) to your idea.
  10. I found that scene utterly confusing. B: I'll cook. G: No! you have to go to the diner. You don't want to cook. B: No, I'll cook, it will be fine. Mom: How awful that someone would be willing to cook you dinner! I thought maybe something was edited out. It made no sense at all.
  11. I just started watching, and the first thing in the show is how she hates to bathe, and sometimes her family forces her to clean up. I don't know if I can watch this episode. Oh, now she and her sister are talking about living with their father. ... I think I should just go and read everyone else's comments. Wow. "Thank God! I'm starving!" Oh my word.
  12. She looked so sad from her first scene on camera that (gasoline drawers ready?) I was actually hoping she'd do something for herself. When she asked him how he felt about her leaving, and his response was that it was stressful, I wanted to tell her to run. I hope she can get herself into healthier circumstances (physically and emotionally). I recognize that addictions and discomfort can make any of us testy, but a hospital bed is probably the most comfortable place he could hope to be at that point. Also, it can't be easy to have such a personal conversation on camera for the world to see. Sigh. I actually wouldn't mind a follow-up with her, but I don't think I need to see his update -- but I wish him well.
  13. I really wondered about this. I really think clothing is available in his size through catalogs or the internet if nothing else exists in their town. Jess had some cute tops. Just confusing. (I'm way behind. Trying to catch up on the season now.)
  14. I knew how Sean's story ended, but I still kept finding myself talking to him through the TV. Mostly just exasperated outbursts of, "Sean!" when he argued with Dr. Now or talked about figuring out a plan. At one point he said he had friends who would order food for him so that he wouldn't be choosing junk food, but in the next moment he said he didn't have anyone to help him. I wonder who had agreed to order his food. He seemed so lonely, and really Dr. Now and Dr. Paradise couldn't do anything to change that for him. I'm sure in a place the size of Houston he could have found (or started) a crochet group (or the knitters would have welcomed him). If he just could have gotten out and about, maybe it could have been a different story. His supersized episode was just on on with Dr. Now's final phone call. I know others said the grandfather didn't seem emotional, but I thought he sounded as though he was on the verge of tears. Maybe I'm projecting.
  15. One of my cats had diabetic neuropathy, and obviously I can't get him to tell me what that felt like, but the same happens in people also, right? Snoopy had trouble with his back legs, although with treatment he regained use of his legs again. It makes me wonder if some of the poundticipants have some sort of diabetic nerve damage that leads to this low pain tolerance. They don't all complain to the same extent, though.
