  1. Here is Dr. Now sporting a white goatee, and inviting to an open house at his office on Saturday March 9! 😇 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3jdxRvtuaG/?hl=en
  2. Following-up on babyhouseman's post of December 5, this article from Variety of that same date notes the return of both "My 600-lb Life" and "Where Are They Now" in the new year: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/tlc-2024-slate-90-day-fiance-600-lb-life-little-people-say-yes-to-the-dress-1235820881/
  3. Here's a post on Dr. Now's Instagram, from September 24, that a new season will air soon: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci4EzZwtBBY/
  4. As of this afternoon, the "Too Large" program is on TLC's schedule starting at 10pm on Wednesday November 10, 2021. Right after the second new episode of M600PL. https://www.tlc.com/schedule
  5. The schedule for Wednesday January 8th is posted. The second episode of season 8 is set as Lindsey's Story:
  6. For those wishing to do some catch-up or binge-watching, or just some review of favorites, all episodes of seasons 1 - 7 are currently available to watch for free on TLC's website (and via their TLC Go app for mobile devices). https://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/my-600-lb-life/ Don't know how long this freebie will last, possibly just until the new season starts on 1/1. [Note that the free access is only to the regular season episodes, not to the Where Are The Now? episodes.]
  7. For those (like me) who purchased the whole season 5 of WATN on Amazon, this episode has been added to the season, as the 8th episode. Received the notification email from Amazon this morning. Planning to watch tonight!
  8. The schedule for Wednesday January 1, 2020 is now posted (https://www.tlc.com/schedule) and indicates that John and Lonnie's story will be the Season 8 opener. 8pm on 1/1.
  9. It looks like TLC is scheduled to 'tease' the new season tomorrow night, according to the info on https://www.tlc.com/schedule as of right now. Tomorrow evening at 8pm there is a new Where Are They Now? for Tamy and Karina, followed by a 19-minute 'first look' at one of the new stories for season eight, John and Lonnie. So, is there going to be a live chat here tomorrow evening for the new follow-up episode on Tamy and Karina?
  10. Here, here! Instead of my usual one meal (unemployment diet) I had two: french toast and turkey sausage for brunch, and a turkey wrap with a side of rice for dinner. Yum! I hope everyone in the US had a nice Thanksgiving! 😘
  11. Wow Catherine -- you just got back! Congratulations!! What a great article and photos. And that is one groovy necktie your hubs is wearing. 😎 😊
  12. That was Jeanne, the one who lived in squalor with her parents and nine dogs.
  13. Yes, the WATN episodes are available on Amazon, for $3 per episode. This is purchase, not rental. There is also an option to purchase a whole season, which sometimes saves money depending on the number of episodes in the season. Here is the page; select the desired WATN season at the top: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00RYCU3KY/
  14. Who wants to chip in and purchase a stack of these tee-shirts for the next round of poundticipants? [5XL size, of course.] 😄 😊
  15. I'm surprised his blood sugar is dropping so low if his only 'cheat' is drinking wine, especially if it's dry wine (not sweet). I'm diabetic myself, and with the medications I've been taking for the past several years I can no longer drink alcohol, but before that, when I took another med that did not conflict, I could have up to two drinks in a day, of something like dry wine or scotch and water -- nothing sweet. But not every day; not more than once a week. I no longer get hypoglycemic since I switched off the med that was stimulating the pancreas to secret additional insulin. Your husband may benefit from a consultation with an endocrinologist -- if his primary care is managing his diabetes -- or checking with another endocrinologist if he already sees one. He may be able to get better control, such as by changing his med or type/amount on insulin if he injects. You may want to check into keeping a glucagon kit at home. It's common among parents of diabetic children. Sometimes they'll have episodes during the night, and the parents will give them the glucagon shot to bring them out of it. But with a full-grown man who might become physically violent, it may not be possible for a petite woman to get in close enough to give him the shot. Here is some info on the kit: http://www.diabetesforecast.org/2018/02-mar-apr/what-is-a-glucagon-kit.html
  16. One other option -- a shot of glucagon. That is, if you'd feel comfortable giving him an injection, and if he'd let you close enough for the jab. Just curious -- what do firemen do for a hypoglycemic episode?
  17. So sorry this has happened to you Hellga, and I do wish you the best of luck. Your severance pay will prevent you from receiving unemployment benefits for a while (in New York) but you can go ahead and apply and the state will figure out your eligibility date. If you're lucky, you may even be back to work before then. 😊 I'm still unemployed, sixteen months now. Have applied for over six hundred jobs so far, no offers as yet. If I can help with any info, such as good job boards to use for your search, just private message me. Hang in there, kiddo, and I hope you won't have to relocate. 🙏
  18. Did you know that Dr. Now's favorite dessert is yogurt and cucumber ??? https://www.cameo.com/younannowzaradan 😯 😮 😧 ‼️
  19. Today is Dr. Now's birthday -- he is 75 years old today. Here is his latest post on Instagram, from yesterday: "Excess skin removal after weight loss surgery It will improve body contour" Happy birthday, doc! 🎂 🎈
  20. Maja's Story (season seven, episode eight) is now scheduled for a re-broadcast on Wednesday October 23.
  21. Yes, I saw that episode, which aired before this one. In this episode we did learn what had been preventing Milla from walking earlier, in spite of all her weight loss. Both of her knees needed to be replaced, and she also had an issue with ligaments or tendons that made it difficult for her to straighten her legs, which I believe was resolved with physical therapy. If you have opportunity to view this episode, it should all make sense by the end. I do agree that Dr. Now seemed to give Milla more leeway than he did to other poundticipants who had been reluctant to start walking again after their weight loss. He gave her more and lengthier stays in rehab too. When I mentioned this here back when this episode first aired, other pounders said they thought Milla received just what she needed for her situation, no more or less, which may be true -- but I still think she received a lot more than some others who had been in similar situations, who were sent home soon after surgery to do their rehab on an outpatient basis or else from home with visits from PT.
  22. According to TLC's currently-posted schedule, they will be re-running Holly's episode (season 7 episode 5) on Wednesday October 16. Anyone want to do a new live-chat on Holly? [At this point, I doubt there will be any new episodes before January.]
  23. TLC's current schedule is showing another rerun for Wednesday October 2 -- Brandon's Story from Season 7. But I won't get my hopes up that this might be a harbinger for an early return of the series. . . .
  24. Well, I can say that I had never heard of it (in NYC) prior to Sarah's story. I'd heard of Tater Tots, and ate them as a child, but did not know of the casserole. It might be a regional specialty. 😊
  25. Dr. Now has passed 100,000 followers on Instagram! I wonder who is knitting the Lil Now Now dolls:
