Have you noticed how many if these people are from Ohio?

I feel like they go to specific cities for casting for different seasons... this must have been Ohio's turn.

My eating habit today is homemade split pea soup.  And I will have some dark chocolate later.

[ams1001]

Sister has a hubby and three kids.

Please tell me that adorable child does not sleep in their bed normally.

[Chicklet]

How the hell did she ever get pregnant is what I want to know?

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Love the red walls.  Is this The Amityville Horror?

Watched the end of last week's Ol' Mushroom Belly.  That woman disgusts me.

Yeah I thought so too, but then I saw this obese dude's younger brother get him a plastic bin to take a crap in.  At least Joyce went in a commode.  And just like that,  the bar has been lowered.

[aliya]

Girlfriend has her sleep cap on so her hair can look good on TV (which it does, actually).

[Guest]

Good god. Their house is like the Little Duplex of Horrors.

[mmecorday]

Tonight's episode is brought to you by plastic bins. Plastic bins: they're not just for storage anymore.

[fonfereksglen]

Co sleeping is illegal where I live because of smothered little ones.  Now you can see why.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Love the bed setup.  Looks like my fraternity house minus the stacks of beer cases.

[Chicklet]

Officially Train Wreck. Ugh.

[ams1001]

Five cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets, two apple pies.

[ShortyMac]

Five McD's burgers, two large fries, AND chicken nuggets. PUKE.

Where there's a will, there's a way. 

Five cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets, and two apple pies. Wow. Just wow.

[MsVixen]

9 people in what looks like a "shotgun house"?  GEEZ!!!!

[Hellga]

Is that all for her?  A plate full of chicken and fries, and then who knows how many burgers piled up on the other plate?

[Callaphera]

Five cheeseburgers, 2 large fries, a 20 piece chicken nugget and you're gonna tell me that there were only two apple pies?

[Gbb]

Cheeburger Cheeburger Cheeburger Cheeburger Cheeburger.

No Coke. Pepsi. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Shantel's husband has a lovely speaking voice. 

Food is the only thing that makes Shantel happy. Not her devoted husband. Not her three children. 

[Granny58]

The house looks smelly.

[7EasyPayments]

Watching the last 6 minutes of Joyce - UGH !! What a C !!!

1639 calories today,

2OZ Jim Beam Devil's Cut opened up with 1TBLSPN ice water - 148 calories.

100 million calories of McD's --------------already !!! 🤣

[Hana Chan]

Watching these people eat just sickens me. Even at my worst, I couldn't put away a fraction of what these people do.

Dinner tonight was a cup of chicken noodle soup. So happy that I've progressed to the soft/pureed food stage. Next week I get to attempt some solids!

[sagittarius sue]

Chantel's bathroom had crap all over the toilet.  Yuck.

Yay for the chocolate. I had 78%, and then a chocolate protein shake.

I was wondering how many laps up and downstairs Cash does in a day, but I guess with 9 people in the house, two kids, that leaves 5 wait staff.

[Donut Bear]

Hey what is that Paddington bear doing there??

[Caoimhe]

Michael isn’t exactly small either.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Heeeeeyyyyyyy Pounders! I’m a few minutes behind (dumped cable and am watching on Philo and I don’t know how to watch “live” tv truly live) and I’m horrified already in the first two minutes. This is gonna be a shit show and I’m here for it.

Yo, yo, yo, my people!  Eating habit was Gardein breaded 'turkey' cutlets (vegan), some stuffing, cranberry sauce, and sweet potato, washed down with some chocolate soy milk. 

This sounds AHMAZING!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

NY Rangers shirt.  I hate her already.  Islanders fan here.

[suev33 3]

What town in OH?   I missed it.  Curious because my son lives in OH

[Suzywriter]

Skidding in from work. Haven't figured out my eating habit yet. 

Their house is positively squalid! Squalid!

Why do they always say "I feel so bad that x can't live their own life because they have to take care of me."

Cleaning isn’t high on the priority list.

[Ivylady]

At least Shantel is more mobile than her brother. And their mother admits her enabling, so maybe there's hope. 

I hope we move beyond the point of using food as a reward/punishment. That's why so many people have disordered eating. 

[babyhouseman]

Can Carlton do the Carlton dance?

[Pepper Mostly]

Those cheeseburgers are disappearing in Carlton's meaty paws.

[LizzyB]

I have been sitting here, agape, with my hand over my mouth.  That house.  OMG.  The pee bottle.  The abuse.  The mother comforting the kids with food that she sneaked.  It's just so much.

[Ivylady]

The military put her in a shelter 20 years ago? That abuse must have been bad. 

[CringeWatcher]

Hello (((pounders)))!

eating habit tonight is purple hull peas and mustard greens. And perhaps a nice cab sav and a couple boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  here’s hoping for an episode worthy of your top notch snark 🍷

That needs to go onto the bingo card. (Takes notes).

[mmecorday]

God help me, I really want a McDonald's cheeseburger right now.

It is. I like Gardein products in general, but they really hit the mark with this one. It's Thanksgiving all over again.

Columbus

WOW.  Over 300 pounds at 11 - is that the record?

[Wanda]

Watching this show hasn’t been as much fun because I’ve put on a bit of winter pudge (admittedly only 7 lbs or so but it still bugs me) so my eating habit today was to start my new diet of 1000 calories. It seemed apropos to choose 600 lb life day.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Columbus, OH, Carlton is 24 and Shantel is 31.    

I can't believe I watched a man take a dump in a giant trash bag.  

Shantel, three kids in three years.   Her husband needs a hobby, besides the obvious one.

"The dreams I had for the future were being crushed under my weight"--Carleton.  Going off the TLC script!

[Guest]

Good decision making, Shantel! So instead of losing weight to go to college, you simply dropped out to eat some more. Makes sense. 

[ams1001]

It's not her size, it's her personality!

[Pepper Mostly]

Had to drop out of college because she couldn't walk to class. Well, its a step up from "I had to quit my fast food job because I got too fat".
