I watched the episode tonight, and I also found her FB page dedicated to this episode. She’s lost a total of 250 lbs as of November 2023 and looks really great. I wasn’t sure she would do well at first, her background story was so sad . Happy endings are nice .

Wow , it’s actually true that Pumpkin and Josh had twins last month? She’s only 22 and already has 4 kids plus custody of Alana? I might be a terrible person for saying this , but I think it’s time for them to close up the baby production permanently. This show and paycheck will not last forever and neither of them is educated.

Isn’t June legally blind ? This is probably why she isn’t looking at the camera when interviewed. I am beyond annoyed that she left her daughter to go meet up with another man, and one that also was an addict like Geno. Sugar Bear is probably off the show now. I don’t miss him or Jennifer at all. Pumpkin and Josh rule. I did like the fact that Pumpkin wanted to meet the boyfriend before inviting him to Alana’s birthday party. By the way , is West Virginia considered to be part of Appalachia? We just took a family vacation to Harpers Ferry for the first time Memorial Day weekend, and we loved everything about the area! Great scenery, restaurants, mountains, friendly people. Very different from my New Jersey home . Anyone know why Jessica isn’t working? Besides babysitting for Pumpkin, is she only doing the tv show?

So it’s now been revealed that the 3 youngest daughters are home alone all day while Barry, Lydia, and Isaac work full time . Lydia helps with homeschooling the younger girls while Kim is off living in their various rental properties. The little girls are 9, 11 and 13. Isn’t there a law against them being home alone ?

I’m still waiting for the media to find Barry’s first wife and talk to her. I think he was married for 4 years, no children. Was she the same religion too ?

I follow Olivia on Instagram and she just posted that she and Ethan are in Paris for the next month. I don’t think she’s giving up on the marriage any time soon , definitely not as long as they have the tv show. Maybe they went there because this season has been kind of a snoozer for these two . Moriah hasn’t been too interesting lately either. Better enjoy it while they can , their show won’t last as long as the Duggars gravy train did.

I can’t believe that I’m feeling sorry for Barry , but the younger kids at home are having a hard time too . They should be in school if Kim has checked out of being a wife and mother . Kim gets no sympathy from me , she created this family and isn’t it against their beliefs to divorce? Maybe Michelle Duggar should talk to her. Olivia pretending to be interested in the car repairs is just a fake storyline, but she went along with it . My husband does our car repairs as a hobby and he wouldn’t want me near his garage. Ethan seems almost as selfish as Kim. Moriah is still moping around and doesn’t look well. I agree she needs a better colorist and she should be careful that it doesn’t start breaking off . Micah and roommates are semi interesting, but he doesn’t have to talk about his love life , ugh.

I’m starting to think that this show is really scripted. Ethan quits his job because he’s doing this show now . Nobody was interested in seeing Kim home with the kids so she’s got a dance studio now and Barry has to learn to do household chores. Moriah and Max breakup was over the top and dragged out for a storyline . Reality tv is almost never very good for those who participate.

I haven’t read the third book yet so I really didn’t expect that Lena would leave her family for Nino, and I do wonder if it was for longer than 5 days. I saw how unhappy she was in the role of just being a wife and mother, it wasn’t enough for her . I do think Nino is manipulative but he understands Lena in a way Pietro does not . It wasn’t surprising that Lila told her not to leave her husband for Nino, but we see in the beginning of the series that Lila disappeared and didn’t leave a trace as to where she went .

Episode 5 was hard to watch . I would have tossed out Pasquale and his girlfriend the minute they started with the insults. And then Lila decides to dump her 12 year old son for the summer ? No way would I agree to doing that unless it was my direct family, the kid barely knows them . And Lena’s husband isn’t really a nice guy after all. Not to mention the murders . Hopefully next week is better.

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier, but I just realized that Stingray is the same actor who played Horace in the Cruella movie . Excellent movie too, imo.

Here we go again, TLC. Why do they find people who have serious issues with their mental health and are food addicts and expect them to change and succeed with weight loss surgeries? It’s as bad as the Hoarders, those folks can’t really change either. And I say this as someone who has cycled in weight up and down 80 pounds, then 50, etc. The one thing that interests me is the friendship dynamic and whether or not it will lead to success.

I feel like we’ve only gotten half of the real story from David . I’m thinking he won’t be successful in the long run. I really like Dr Paradise, and am wondering what happened to Dr Lola? She was really good with people on this show as a caring therapist.

Hi everyone! After yoga class , my eating habit tonight was Fuji apple salad and chicken noodle soup from Panera Bread .

I can’t believe that Tammy is going to live much longer. It’s so hard to watch what she’s doing to herself . Also, I don’t think Amy is going to lose weight after this pregnancy either . She may find herself 100 lbs heavier in a couple of years.
