S01.E03: Breaking Point LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Amy and Tammy eagerly begin their weight loss journey.   Sticking to their diets is a matter of life or death but proves to be a real struggle.  The pressure to reach their goals culminates in a huge fight that threatens their diets and relationship. 

Unfortunately this will be the 1,000 pound sisters breaking point, not the Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves classic Point Break.  As we go into yet another week of Amy and Tammy attempting to be amusing through their (off putting and childish) antics, let's remember these great words from Point Break: 

Quote

Fuck the stakes Bodhi! The only one that thinks that this is a game is you, man. This is real. This is serious shit, and I am scared.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing. Original air date 2020.01.15

[Guest]

The Slaton Sister are literally the polar opposites of all things Point Break.

I rest my case.

[Kid]

These two after Bethany!!  I don’t know if I can take it!!

[Hellga]

I am going to give them another try... they are annoying AF but the series is entertaining in its own way.

[mmecorday]

Amy should have been happy that Tammy wasn't talking for once!

[Ivylady]

Damn, the stairs foiled her! 

[Hellga]

Tammy, are you seriously upset at your sister and her husband doing things without you?  Do you get into their bed, too? (please pass the bleach to erase that mental image!)

[Ivylady]

Tammy seems resentful that her sister has a relationship outside of her. 

[Hellga]

Yay for Amy discovering the benefits of water exercise!

[aliya]

I missed it - why couldn't Tammy get in the pool? You'd think it is just what she needs.

[Dianaofthehunt]

WHAT is wrong with these girls' faces?
Is this what inbreeding looks like after six generations?
(I've never seen the show, hence the questions.)

There were 5 stairs she'd need to walk down, and she can't put weight on her knees. 

[Hellga]

And I actually think that having to help Tammy will help Amy lose weight... unless their fighting causes her to emotionally overeat.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Their fat is swallowing their faces.

[ams1001]

"He tried to kill me!"

Can ya' blame him, really?

[mmecorday]

This show reminds me of "Duck Dynasty."

[Guest]

Gotta hand it to 600-lb Tammy for one thing -- she fell on the floor and didn't automatically start warbling and crying about her paaaaaaain. She laughed it off and didn't behave like a toddler. 

Hey...it's faint praise but it's something.

Tammy really looks porcine in the face. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Seasick Cecil]

Their looks are unfortunate, and they compound this with their crude and vulgar behavior.

Most people have lost basic common decency, at least those in the public eye.

I protest!  My grandma kept pigs, and pigs are way cuter!  And have zero fat on the forehead! 

[mmecorday]

Amy used the word homage.

[Hellga]

Tammy is being the more responsible one when it comes to pantry cleaning?  That's surprising!

While Tammy was dropping snack cakes down her shirt...

Did she actually say "soda" instead of "sodie"?

[Guest]

Tammy looks like an albino Grimace.

 

[Hellga]

So is Tammy worried that Amy is going to cheat, or that she won't have the same opportunity to cheat?

[ams1001]

Amy probably has a better chance of not making "mistakes" shopping alone than if she had her sister with her.

[Ivylady]

Tammy seems less upset that Amy is going to cheat because it'll jeopardize her weight loss, and more upset that Amy will eat something she wants. 

[Guest]

How is Amy gonna buy any food? She walked into the store without a handbag and is wearing a dress with no pockets. Where is she keeping her money?

[Hellga]

Does Amy actually know how to cook with the vegetables she has grabbed?  OR will we see more of the sad salads typical of the 600-pound life?

[mmecorday]

"I think that's cabbage."

D'oh!

I also hate it when cashiers say, "Find everything OK?"

[aliya]

"Hercules! Hercules!" Our girls know the 'Nutty Professor.' 😄

 I know right? Promise you won't cheat without me . 

[umgoblue]

My first episode.  This could be interesting (with closed captioning, of course!).

On her looks?  😄😄

[ams1001]

Did she say she had M&Ms on her turkey and cheese sandwich?

 

You're not supposed to drink all the shakes at once...

Oh, they provide subtitles.

Where the moon don't shine?

[Hellga]

I know the shakes are gross, but do we need to spend that much time on these dumb antics?

[Seasick Cecil]

Amy is very anxious to have a child...I would be very anxious FOR said child.

 

 Also those shakes are not gross. I drink them all the time. I have lost 30 pounds.

Point of clarification:

Has the growth on the one sister's forehead (sorry, don't know their names, yet) ever been explained?

I think it was in the first episode where she disclosed it was just fat. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

It's a fat pad.  

They are either eating, laughing at something that's not funny or sniping at each other.

Or is it just a fat deposit?

Thanks, GM!

I am glad they worked for you.  I had to taste them all as part of my training (whatever 7-8 brands were available 15 years ago), and I think they are icky.  Though not as icky as infant formulas (the aminoacid based ones are particularly vile).

It's just fat.  Has nowhere else to go...

[Seasick Cecil]

They're the only ones who think they're funny.

[Guest]

OMG PLEASE PUT A SHIRT ON.

[Seasick Cecil]

Not at all shy about their bodies, either. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Amy, please wear a shirt to the gym.  For the love of all that is holy, wear a shirt!!!!

[Guest]

"I'm trying to be more active," says Tammy as she's shown turning around in her chair.

[umgoblue]

More movement that I have done in a long time...

As she is sweeping the floor sitting down!  😂😆

It's a really low bar.
