who's retirement accounts are bleeding cash,  I have zero sympathy. Sorry I'm just angry at these dudes.  Boo-fucking-hoo. 

Don't even go there. I haven't had the nerve to look at mine all week and when I finally did, I wanted to cry.

If he is 672 (or more incredulously, a pound less than 721), then I am the Queen of England! 😒

Week old B.O. and fast food farts is probably pretty close to that, though.

Great minds ...

I posted the same sentiment before I saw yours.

[7EasyPayments]

C'mon, the bro doesn't want to know how much HE weighs?

Even for just shits and giggles !!!!!!!! 💩 😂

[Hellga]

673.  That's less than I expected...

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Moral support my ass.  My brother drove the house down here.

[Suzywriter]

Hey, I forgot to tell you all, I'm quarantined.  I've been just a little sick for 15 days, have been to the doctor 3 times for a nebulizer treatment. Today, they decided I was a hazard and slapped me with a quarantine order. 

 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Ravioli in a can.  They missed it last week.

[fonfereksglen]

More ravioli in the can!  Cold!

Your meal sounds delicious !

Buttermilk biscuits !!!! I will eat them alllllllll !!!!!!!! 😉 🤣

I took half of them to my neighbors so I wouldn’t eat them all! 

[Granny58]

Cold ravioli...I'm dead.

[umgoblue]

With a straight face: He gets a job every once in a while...what?

[Callaphera]

Props to Dr. Now for not being fazed by the whole living-in-a-van thing. He just breezed right by like it was nothing.

I took my retirement fund when the company offered and invested it.  It seemed like a good idea at the time.  Not so much any more, I’d have been better off keeping my pension.

Take care of yourself! I hope you have people checking in on you!

I have another Instacart order in for Saturday delivery. It's just perishables and stuff I eat every day. My staples are fine. It will be 3 weeks inside for me on Saturday. I'm willing to go for much longer.

I'm all set with staples also. I bake bread and I have tons of flour and eggs and butter. We have a lot of stuff to cook with. I just got a case of toilet paper a week before everything got serious. In Massachusetts we're closed down for something like 3 more weeks. I feel pretty well prepared!

Are they going to test you?

[Suzywriter]

Why do generally filthy people have facial hair? Or long head hair. Please, shave that mess off so you can quit with the matting.

[OoogleEyes]

Cold ravioli. The dinner of Pounders everywhere 

[Callaphera]

James with the epic stankface: "Uh, what's this plot twist about me eating better?"

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Our winner of the guess the Poundticipant's weight is <drum roll> @Pepper Mostly which a guess of 675.  Johnny, tell them what they've won!

You've won ten bags of grease and freedom (a.k.a. a hearty breakfast for 2), a case of air fresheners for your brand new van with extra strong shocks on the front, multiple wool caps to wear regardless of the weather, and, as always, the respect of your fellow Pounders.  Huzzah!

Oh no! Take care of yourself! Sending good vibes for your speedy and complete recovery!

I love grocery shopping in person.  I find it inspiring.  

So do I. I’ve been pretending that I’m prepping for my appearance on Chopped and try to come up with dishes made from random ingredients.

[Hellga]

James should be on a diet not for 'moral support' but because he is himself right up there in the morbidly obese category!  I guess he is another one of the delusional "But I am the small one' enablers...

Will be thinking of you and waiting for your report next week, @Suzywriter!

Very wise and generous of you. 👍

[MissLam]

Wow. The brother's reaction to Dr. Now telling him to do the diet with him. "I'm only here for moral support". Ummmmmm you're fat, too, bro. 

[Squee Bastard]

Whoa, James huffed that he is only there for moral support!

Hang in there!  They do rebound over the long haul as they did after 2008.

[Snarkastikate]

California is the land of freebies, certainly with a minimal amount of effort they could have made the great freebie system there work for them to get public housing.  They sure had no trouble getting themselves food stamps!  Makes no sense to me.  I'm going out in a limb here and if Dominic succeeds in his "journey" I will eat the Lean Cuisine that's been in my freezer for 2 years.  

 

Dr Now:.  "Life is hard"   🤣🤣🤣

Feel better soon!

James: I did't like the focus on me.

Ha!

He's only there for moral support and because he'd be sitting in a parking lot alone if he wasn't there.

[Gbb]

“Crispy” anything means breaded and fried, dude. 

[umgoblue]

Well Pounders, I have to sign off.  Missing y'all already.  Looking forward to reading the last hour of the episode.  See ya next week. 

In solidarity and in quarantine,

Be safe!

ummm... crispy chicken implies being fried....?

[mmecorday]

I'm pretty sure brioche buns and french fries are not on Dr Now's diet plan.

[Granny58]

Ummm...McDonald's has good salads and apples keep pretty well at room temperature.

You're just envious of my swanky new van! 

[Hellga]

THAT's their solution?  Go to restaurants?   More healthy meals, my ass!  Most of restaurant entrees push 2000 calories if you don't purposefully search out low calorie options.  You would be much better buying a bowl, two plates, two spoons and buy bagged salad kits and grocery store rotisserie chicken! 

[LizzyB]

OMG the poor critical thinking skills..."we'll spend our money on restaurants so we can get healthy food...'I'd like a crispy chicken sandwich.'"  Major face palm moment.  CHIPOTLE, people!

[Callaphera]

...yeah, that sandwich looks about as healthy as last night's dinner at Chez Callaphera (a butter and herb Sidekick, two glasses of wine, and two chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting because I'm living my best social distancing life right now).

And “honey” = sugar.  Sandwich = bread = carbs.  Did he even read the diet?

[PrincessPurrsALot]

But it's fraaaahd!!!!!

[Splashes]

Oh geez that is really not of the diet. It looks good but thats like 1200-1600 kcal there in that meal.

[PureMantis]

"If I go to a restaurant it's healthier" I can't even with this logic. As a former professional cook: No it's not. I use soo much butter and salt when I cook.
