Hahaha...

Dr Now:  That all sounds great....yada, yada, yada

Bethany:  Protein bars... Doesn't Snickers have protein in it?!?!?

Dr. Now:  Stop with the games, I've heard it all.

But Snickers are Low Glycemic Index food.

I'm eating healthy. Protein bars and cheese.

Wut.

She's lying there in her recliner, eating Brie and crackers.

Haha, I didn't cheat, I stayed within the 1200 calories!

1200 calories per meal maybe. And 8 meals a day. 

NOW she's throwing out the junk food? Girl. 

[Ivylady]

As slow as she's moving, that 10 mintues is down to the stop sign and back. 🙄

Wait - you can get fentanyl in a patch? I think they gave that to me when I had cataract surgery. Do you mean I can get some to take home?  😲 I've got a doctor's appointment in another 2 months. Maybe I need a new script. 😄

If your doctor gives you any fentanyl patches, or any other pain meds and you don't need them, please send them to your good buddy Psycho Suzy. She knows how to put them to good use.

Are she and the daughter really going to die of dehydration doing a 10-minute stroll around her carport? What's with the grasping of the water bottles?

[Wanda]

They’re huge increased walk is meandering the carport. I don’t foresee a second follow up episode on this person’s success 

[Callaphera]

Not gonna lie, Bethany just shamed me - according to my Fitbit, I've taken 1462 steps today. It's a snow day, all right? Most of that was probably for trips to the kitchen, too.

[Ivylady]

Wait, they don't leave the driveway? 🤣🤣🤣

No wonder she's not losing weight.

My aunt had them. But she had rheumatoid arthritis (among other things) and severe, long-term pain.

[fonfereksglen]

She needs a water bottle in case she starts dehydrating after a 100  foot walk.

Oops, missed that!  Shame on me!

Do more this time? Didn't he give her the same 60 pound goal?

And that's how we know for sure she was lying. "I do, like, a protein bar....". No you don't. If you were following the diet you'd be able to tell Dr. Now exactly what you were eating. The waffling and tentative responses while she tries to figure what she can get away with are dead giveaways. 

[hoosiermom]

OH NO! Not the free,free free, free free free commercials again. Surely they could have come up with something new and less irritating!

[Callaphera]

Is Planet Fitness the gym that does free pizza days? It might be time for me to move on from yoga in the living room to pretending to use an exercise bike for a slice of pepperoni pizza.

[SunnyBeBe]

How come these kids aren't like regular ones who say Noooo, I'm too tired, get it yourself! Why so polite and quiet?

[ams1001]

Man, Sheldon has an unfortunate haircut.

[Hellga]

"Me and Sheldon".  Did she photoshop her own Master's diploma?  What school awarded her one, especially in a discipline that requires talking to people!

[mmecorday]

Now her husband has Bob Denver hair!

Because they know the kind of explosion they'll face if they don't comply.

[Callaphera]

69 pounds! *insert Beavis and Butthead style laugh here*

[Pepper Mostly]

"I don't know what more I can do". Well, you can continue on the diet and keep losing weight. How about that?

She probably got her masters from one of those online diploma mills.

[umgoblue]

I know that I am late to the episode, but is Sheldon special?  Is there something I should know about him?

[Psycho Suzy]

I just love seeing Dr. Now smile. I swear, it is one of my favorite things in the world...seeing that sweet sweet man grinning or smiling or laughing. He was smiling and trying not to giggle when he said it was ironic that she was an addiction counselor.

OMG Protein bars?! They have a TON of calories!

That disappointed look of, "Oh, shit, I have to do more dieting?" never gets old.

He has unfortunate wife-choosing skills?

He was attracted by her intelligence.  That should tell you everything you need to know. heh

[Ivylady]

Is Sheldon getting smaller? Pretty soon, he's going to float away.

Those kids don't look very happy.  I think the whole family will need counseling.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Why does everyone on this show who's trying to lose weight also stop dying their hair?   That 6 inches of gray top hair is not going to make her feel better about herself.    If she takes some pride in her appearance, then she might start feeling better in general.   

The entire family needs a hair intervention.

Someone needs to do some investigating online, I know you can find license information for counselors, not sure about education.

[umgoblue]

How the Queen's English escapes so many of the poundticipants, I will never know.  But she is well educated...doesn't it make her itch to even think 'me and Sheldon"?!  WTH

[Pepper Mostly]

She looks like she's about to start sniveling again.

The only thing I learned is that he can't drive on the interstate.

[Psycho Suzy]

I think Isabella is really pretty and stylish. I hope she escapes at home and can go on to college and live in a dorm with other kids her age.

Their mom doesn't know what Mrs. Dash is. I don't blame them for looking bummed when they have to eat unseasoned chicken. 

[LeesburgLee]

How is it that she only has to stay in Houston for a month after surgery when most everyone  else has to move there for a year? Oklahoma isn’t that close to Houston.

[nytonc]

Sheldon is so pathetic

There was a horror story I remember reading, where a beautiful vampiress was literally sucking life out of her victims to where they would physically shrink to the size of the doll..

Because she's cowed them into compliance. What these shows don't see are the years of yelling and belittling and guilting that the Pounder has done to their families, especially the kids. 

No, they're not happy because she's not happy. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Monotone" "I'm really excited." 

Me: I've heard more excited cadavers.

He has vision problems so she looks like Angelina Jolie to him.

[mmecorday]

"We Can Turn The Room Light Off" ought to be the name of Dr. Now's cool jazz album.

[MrsClaus]

I've decided Sheldon is afraid she's going to sit on him

Actually, he's going to shrivel up, and then she's going to eat the leftovers.

[Hellga]

She managed to stay on track for another month, color me impressed,  I think she will relapse by the end of the year, though.

[Chicklet]

Oh lord no Sheldon close ups, his TEETH ughhh.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

We need Lonnie to help Sheldon with his unfortunate hair choices.  Maybe he needs counseling?  Lola could provide him with a multitude of options.
