She's not mobile ether!

Yeah, but she's a fighter! She fought the dentist who made suggestions on how to take care of her teeth. She fought the doctor who told her she needed to take off some pounds. She fought the hairstylist who said that the Baby Jane look wasn't working for her.

[MelissaMinion]

The youtube videos...oh, lord.

[xls]

there's the sexy cold-shoulder top!

[rocketinu]

Is that a cold shoulder top or did she rip it putting it on?

[OoogleEyes]

A lid for every pot, I guess 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

That black top looks ready to snap.

[Guest]

Why are they in the park? They can walk around that giant property of theirs!

[mmecorday]

America's best and brightest, ladies and gentlemen.

[OoogleEyes]

I am predicting right now that these 2 are not going to lose any appreciable amount  of weight. It seems like they are trying to be "famous" and get more YouTube followers

[Guest]

Tammy seems to be kind of a dick.

[MelissaMinion]

When they stop the joking and burping, they turn into sort-of-sympathetic characters.

[Guest]

*Tammy walks 10 steps*

Tammy: I'm done with it.

Amy too. 

[MelissaMinion]

So, these two have a season’s worth of episodes coming? We should make predictions.

I predict:

1. Tammy does some of her initial weight loss while hospitalized. 

2. There will be at least one “Ow, mah leg!” shouted.

 

[mmecorday]

How long before TLC has a show about morbidly obese little people who have 19 kids?

[MelissaMinion]

So, I know TLC has been following them for a while...I’m curious why they didn’t get steered towards Dr Now?

[Hellga]

Oh, it's the doctor from the  Family by the Ton show.   I was wondering who they would find, if it would be a doctor we have already seen.

[Hellga]

Surely a cattle facility would be able to weigh them too?   

[mmecorday]

I hate diet sodas. I'd much rather have an unsweet tea with lots of lemon.

We need a bingo card to include:

Someone falls, and can't get up

I only eat grapes for snacks 

[rocketinu]

Why act so surprised how much you weigh when you have to weigh at a junkyard and you put bacon in your lasagna?

[PrincessPurrsALot]

How much did Amy weigh?

Yeah, I think they were supposed to be the new "family" on Family by the Ton but I guess they couldn't get the evil mother so sign on so they renamed the show.

Or they couldn’t get enough more family members to add up to 2k lbs.

It's coming up.

[BOOgen3]

They look like rejected muppets, sans fur.

[MelissaMinion]

406 for Amy

[Hellga]

Amy is 406.  I must be jaded by My 600-lb life, it doesn't sound like all that much for someone who looks like her!

[Guest]

"Seeing that number on the scale made me feel like a Mac truck."

*camera cuts to close up of Tammy's face*

[Hellga]

Tamy is 605.  Now that's more like it!

[MelissaMinion]

Drumroll.......Tammy is 605!

[Miss Chevious]

I hate to break it to you Amy but you ARE a Mack truck!

[Hellga]

Where is the bingo scale?  Of course it is "the scale must be wrong"!

[MelissaMinion]

4. They disbelieve the scales!

[StitchPunk]

The Junkyard guy seems nice. I really want to know more about that coffin story.

[mmecorday]

I think the minute fat began collecting on my forehead, that would be enough of a wakeup call to shock me into eating better.

[Miss Chevious]

Of course, the scales are wrong. That’s got to be it. That’s what they all say.

[Hellga]

Ah, so looking in the mirror doesn't make you feel obese?  Being barely mobile doesn't make you feel obese?  Having all the weight related illnesses?  Buying clothes in ginormous sizes?  Only the NUMBER does?

[MelissaMinion]

There’s the series Catchphrase!

”Seeing the scale at 400, that makes me feel obese...”

 

edit: if i have the words wrong, correct me. This is too good a catchphrase to ruin with misquotes.

"Ow, mah head!"

 

[OoogleEyes]

We get an "Awwl, mah head!"

[Hellga]

I don't have high hopes for these two, and I am not sure I want to have hope!

Off to the Quarter Ton Teen now?

Didn't the mom say she raised 5 kids? I wonder what the others look like.

Judging from the pictures that started when she was pretty young.

Can’t take another story; it’s bedtime. See you all next week!

[StitchPunk]

I hope they make it. They're fairly likeable when they aren't trying so hard. At least I hope something good happens.
