Is she like the Slatton sister who supposedly thought drinking a diet sodie negated the calories in the food?

Why does Megan not need a jacket and mom is wearing a winter coat?

Cause she is 600 pounds?!?!  It's like having on a parka everyday, all day.  Hahahahaha

[CousinOliver]

A scale 😳

[peaceknit]

Why are all of her shirts inside out? 

[Azubah]

One of them actually got a scale!

[Hellga]

Wow she is the first poundticipant to have a 600-pound weight scale at home!

[ams1001]

Someone actually got a home scale?!

And her response is not "this will help me keep on track" but "I hope it's not accurate because I don't like what it says."

Is this 6 months or a year?

[Chicklet]

She's blaming Mom for her not losing, jeez princess cook for yourself.

And more importantly, why are baby goats in totes to begin with? And why would they be organic?

I'm tired.

Tip for losing 10 pounds: Put the scale on a rug.

Aw, Mom ate things you shouldn't have.  I have to cook things I can't have for other people all the time.  Grow up Megan!

[CousinOliver]

Oh, her mom’s fault.  Got it.   Impressed with getting a scale, though. 

[ShoePrincess]

Good evening, Pounder!

I'm playing catch up. I get together witha group of friends on Wednesday evenings for girl talk and wine. Since our usual hangout is closed, we w(h)ined on Xoom.

My eating habit was a bowl of the Italian sausage and tortellini soup left over from last night. It's pretty healthy -- chicken sausage and lots of vegetables.

Mom helps me and supplies two plates of cookies upon request.

ETA:  Mom is on board to follow the plan, too!  Although this is boring as shit, me thinks it might end well.  Holding my breath...

I assume you’re dead now

She has more blubber than a seal, and seals swim in ice-cold water 24/7!

And I think it's completely accurate, showing her weighing between 592-597.

[umgoblue]

Finally someone bought a scale!  But are home scales accurate up to 1000 pounds?  It was my understanding that they didn't go up that high.  Remember the two scale approach that many used...

[Granny58]

She seems reasonably motivated...mom is problem.

I read that as "Whitney" at first and I was all "Yes, actually. She is just like Twatney, isn't she?"

I would like to sign up for your exercise plan, please. 

I also read it as Whitney!

My former pastor used to call them that.  

So it's her mom's fault that she's not losing weight?

It was Mom who bought the scale, maybe after being accused of not being "supportive"?

we've been using zoom for our women's AA meetings. It's a closed meeting thank goodness. Trolls starting interfering with the open AA meetings so they had to shut them down. What is wrong with people?

It’s been well-established that NOTHING is her fault.  Until she starts owning it, nothing will change.

Steve Winwood was my imaginary boyfriend.

why is she SO obsessed with sodium??

maybe she watches some med show on tv that talks about sodium.  Who knows? 

I wish the people on the show would look up a definition for "try hard" and see how they are missing the mark.  

At least she is at a gym.  I just got a text from a neighbor wondering if we will get a refund on our monthly fees due to it being closed for the duration of COVID.  

[Suzywriter]

I think that some people perceive discomfort as "trying". 

They don't like the food but they eat it = trying.

That they did not try the part about portion size or how many times a day to eat does not seem to enter their consciousness. They ate the food that they didn't like, so they tried. Sometimes I think they get on that scale and think "I had fifty meals that I didn't like last month! Why did I not lose weight?"

Hello Pounders! My sister called me and I lost track of time. No eating habit so far.

Dadgum it, my students keep emailing me to get help with their work. Don’t they know it’s pounder night??? I can’t keep up with the chat and the show under normal conditions, let alone try to teach by email at the same time! 🤣

My gym is charging full membership, but they said they will upgrade everyone who sticks with them through this period to Elite.  My Mom's changed to half-rates.  I guess it depends place to place...

[Suzywriter]

Did she just say "my mom isn't eating the right food, and that makes it a lot harder to lose weight."

Wait, Megan's mother ate the wrong food, and this keeps Megan from losing weight?? I would love to hear her internal rule book. Does she think she will go to jail if her mother commits a crime? 

[DEG9]

Just a thought - sodium might not be contributing to her weight problem, but it certainly is not helping with her heart issues. Just sayin'

So obviously I’m way behind, but sweet jebus these people are sad. “Food is the only thing that makes me feel like I want to feel.”

-when my dad tells me how proud he is of the person I’ve become

-when watching my little dog explore every sight and scent as we’re out for a walk on a beautiful day

-when an old friend calls me out of the blue just to catch up

-when I walk through the doors in the morning and the security guard says, “Good morning, beautiful!”

-when I see the lightbulb come on over a student’s head, and I know he or she has got it

Ok it may be awhile before I get those last two again, but there are so many things that make me feel the way I want to feel. I can’t imagine my only joy in life being stuffing myself with crap.

“goid” is not a word.

Oh no they did NOT leave that dog in the car!!! 🤬
