S08.E02: Lindsey's Story LIVE CHAT

[Snarkastikate]

She's just gonna sleep off those hunger pains LOL.   Gotta say she really hides those pounds well.  

 

(BTW I'll take me the pimple popper and foot show over Jazz any day.  Real happy girl! )

[Pepper Mostly]

Dr. Now: Where's your husband? 

Pepper Mostly: Hung over in front of the TV, sobbing.

I honestly think a lot of Pauls stress and probably his drinking comes from her. I feel bad for him.

Eh, he was drinking before he met her, she said.

[mmecorday]

Is it any wonder why most of these patients find losing weight so impossible when they eat unseasoned poached chicken and romaine lettuce? Of course they are going to be hungry eating something so bland.

[crazycatlady58]

Well at least it is honest and shows the husband getting frustrated with her not trying to do the diet.

Paul will have to go on the show Intervention so she can tell him to drink death.

[torene03]

What are you snacking on?

Oh, just a bag of death

[CrazyInAlabama]

647 month one, goal -72.

Month 3- weight 619, minus 28.     

So Paul doesn't support her "process"?  Month 3 and only halfway through the show?   This is not a good scihuation.     Dr Now is preaching tonight.

I wonder just how reliable a narrator she is.

Stop with the Jazz commercials, Pimple commercials, and Foot commercials already.   They're more nauseating than the actual surgery footage.     Please get Rebel what's her name, and Match off my screen.

So it took hungover Paul, and Lindsey, the food shoveling whiner three days to drive a 16 hour trip?     It's amazing that none of the Poundticipants have been left behind at a Rest Stop, while the family members drive off flipping them the bird.   In Paul's case it would be flipping her off, and screaming "Eat death, Lindsey".  

Who thinks plunking a chicken breast in a pot of water to boil the taste out, would taste bad?   

Marry me. I'll bring snacks.

They don't want to put in the effort and try to find some recipes for low calorie tasty food. Jesus, 10 seconds with Professor Google! type in "tasty low calorie recipes"! What is the malfunction??

Looks like Dr Now has earned a few more medals for his surgical coat since last year!

None of these people know how to cook anything that tastes good. 

[Chicklet]

I wonder if the diet includes ideas on how to make the protein taste good with so few calories.

Oh wait, maybe she should cook it in Paul's beer.

[Guest]

Not that I didn't love Lonnie and John and admired them for their positive attitudes and hard work...BUT this is really the kind of trainwreck I needed tonight.

(Blankly) It doesn't taste like anything to me.

[SunnyBeBe]

What's so hard with flushing the snacks down toilet? Then refuse to get more snd if she does throw them out too? He doesn't have to say a word....just destroy the junk.

[Caoimhe]

Jeopardy is over now, time to go upstairs and catch up with this week’s train wreck!

[7EasyPayments]

Ya know...... my knee feels better when I inhale a bag of Cheetos (the hot ones, can't remember the name).

AMA !!!! ARE YA LISTENIN'?!?! 🤣

Vodka cream sauce! "Dieting for alcoholics".

If she yells that she wants junk..put earplugs in.

Seriously! I like to cook chicken breasts with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. I pair the chicken with some steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Squeeze a little lemon over it and it's a good, nutritious meal that tastes good.

[Hellga]

Ah, one more of the "I know what my body needs" peeps.  Doesn't sound like a future success story!

Add some onion powder and garlic powder, and I'm in.

[ams1001]

Ugh, the Sister Wives are still around, too?

[Azubah]

Penzey's sells this stuff called "Sandwich Sprinkle", which sounds like a feeder porno name, but it's actually yummy seasoning. Used to be called "crouton seasoning". Perks that chicken right up.

Exactly! She gets mad? Who gives a shit? You want some goddamn chips, get up and get them yourself. 

Oh, and if your back hurts, try snacking on a couple of Advil.

And some cajun spice or blackening!

[mmecorday]

Jazz like you've never seen her before. Hmmm, she appears to be crying and calling attention to herself in the commercials. Same ole Jazz!

[Chicklet]

"I can feel myself getting smaller" the kiss of death.

[Guest]

CHEAT DAYS?! 

Oh man...she's not getting approved for anything except a visit to Lola.

[DEG9]

Cheat days. That's...

oy

[Hellga]

And Paul needs to grow a pair and learn to say "no" to her.  I think every success story I have seen on this show had someone be the driver of change, whether the patient himself/herself, or someone close to them.  These two seem like evenly matched blobs in terms of willpower...

 

Although the "Eat death, Lindsey!" moment was great TV.

She can feel herself getting smaller.

Must be that fitted wardrobe.

[Minivanessa]

Howdy, Pounders! I got home from the hair salon (dye and cut) 45 minutes into this show and have been catching up here. My eating habit tonight is ground beef patty and avocado slices.

Oh Lord, "small cheat days." Because she's so damn good at knowing what's good for her body.

Dis not a good situation.

Grilled chicken with spices taste wonderful.   My fantastic local grocery store actually has ready to go, seasoned meals of chicken or beef, and you just dump it in a pan, bake it for a while, and it's terrific. 

I knew Paul wasn't going to go with her, and now he can drink a truck full of booze.     I wouldn't be surprised if he was never seen again, or is found stone cold dead in the living room.  

"Cheat Days!"    This is going to be an epic meltdown at Dr. Now's, and Lindsey's going to whine.      I find it a gross exaggeration to call Lindsey and Irene friends.      Does Irene realize that Lindsey will need help and care after surgery?    

You do have to pick spices carefully, and scan every label.   A lot of the cheaper ones have high fructose corn syrup in them, a lot of Catsup (or Ketchup), and BBQ sauce do also.

She was holding her cell phone by a strap with her teeth as she exited the car. Did she miss the episode where she would have learned to carry the phone in her bra. 
 

I understand Paul being a possible drunk.   If I was married to someone weighing 600 pounds and all I did was fetch food I’d drink too. 

[hoosiermom]

A snack or 3? I dare say a couple of bags of chips must be 1,000’s of calories!

[mmecorday]

Does Paul intentionally dress like Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer?"

They grew up in households where “spices” meant salt and pepper and now they think those are part of their forbidden pasts. My husband is vegan and tries to stay away from carbs and I make a mean ass vegetable dish with just frozen peas and carrots but it’s sautéed in some olive oil and unsalted vegetable stock with turmetric, ginger, curry, coriander and cumin. He lives on the stuff. Add shredded iceberg lettuce for crunch (adds mo calories to speak of) and it’s a filling, Very low calorie taste filled meal.

I love Penzey's. Dr. Now should send his patients home with one of their sampler boxes. Their spices and blends are fantastic. 

[DEG9]

Btw, it's a chain link fence, not a picket fence.  Just sayin'

All the best poundticipants subscribe to this philosophy..

[7EasyPayments]

The husband looks familiar. Was he on TV before?

Anyone know?

[Miracle Maxie]

He’s doing an epic job of weaseling out of moving. I’m kind of almost impressed.

Yeah. Or throw in some spinach, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, with sliced zuchinni. Also, broiled salmon, dill, lemon and veggies.

[Pepper Mostly]

"Cheat days here and there". You know, the days that end in "y". 

 

[Hellga]

"Support me how I need" is not "cater to my every whim", it should be "kick my sorry ass when I fail to do it myself".  It's about what you *need*, not what you *want*.
