S08.E14: Megan's Story LIVE CHAT

[ShortyMac]

Blood clots at 21-22. Damn. 

[Callaphera]

"I snack a lot."

Truth in advertising. I guess every giant meal is just one big snack.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Month 1, only 604!   BMI of 87.     She's been overweight forever.    High blood pressure, blood thinners (2017-2018 DVT for legs and lungs).   Blood thinners will really complicate the surgery, recovery, and healing.     "I snack a lot", and Mommy does huge amounts of food, and buys a lot of garbage food.    

[nytonc]

8 meds! Wow

[Hellga]

She must be 5'10" if her BMI is 87 at 605 pounds... she did not look tall to me...

8 medications? Holy crap. And she's laughing about it.

I don't think I've taken 8 medications in the past 20 years combined!!!!

It’s like Roberts’ list. Robert, the first participant who died ON the show.

We all know how low the bar is set with this crowd. 🙂

I am running outside every day but in the past have only run every other day due to osteo arthritis in my right knee.  Now I don't give a crap about the pain and just suck it up.  I will either be ready for that Memorial Day 5k 10k or need a knee replacement.

I'm proud of you!  I'm doing a little running, lots of walking, online yoga classes, and some calisthenics.

"I've been overweight since I was about... 1? Yeah. I've always been overweight."

 

She just hasn't lost her baby fat yet.

[Suzywriter]

Sore from driving. It's not like she ran behind the car!

[mk828]

Just noticed that mole under her chin fat.. Holy moly! 

[nytonc]

She has zero insight. 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Does your gut hang low....does it wobby to & fro….can you throw it over your shoulder like a Continental solider....does your gut hang low.

BABIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHONKY. 

What does a normal 1 year old weigh? How can a1 year old be obese?

Y'all are too fast!  I can't come close keeping up!  But this fun regardless.  I'm on the short bus.

 

Hahahaha, I just give the show itself an occasional glance. Most of the time I'm reading the snark and laughing!

[Kid]

I love how they all sit there and say OK when he presents this to them.

Yeah, her diabetic mom looks like she watches what she eats very well.

[Strut]

604. She appears larger to me.?

[Otter]

Odd thing I've noticed over the years and Megan is another one -- when they're sitting they're freakishly huge.  Not just weight along but tower over family sitting next to them.  I guess those fat butts are like booster seats.  

 

[umgoblue]

Are they blurring her underwear?  Showing the gut is okay, but heavens to Betsy floral underwear is inappropriate?!

She's not responding to Dr. Now in a complete monotone...that's a nice change...

She all of a sudden developed a personality...

[Wanda]

That mole on her neck makes me want her to get a dermatologist referral.

I'm grateful for an excuse to sit on my ass in pajamas all day and play The Sims 4 while eating unhealthy amounts of ketchup chips. It's hard but we all have to do our part. 

I've been working from home for almost two and a half weeks so far and today is only the second day I didn't wear jeans. Granted, they're jeans I can't wear out of the house, but still. Not stretch pants. (I am still not actually wearing pajamas, though. I don't sleep in long pants and it's too cold to wear shorts during the day.)

[Chicklet]

I take 4 meds but then I'm old and most of them are allergy pill overdoses since I can't freaking breathe in the spring.

[nytonc]

She’s so agreeable. Won’t snack no carbs. Bet it doesn’t last the car trip home.

I mean Im on six and I am not 600 pounds so its not really that surprising. Granted half are hormones and the other half are psychiatry meds.

Somewhere between "delightfully chubby" and "aw, who's a big chonker? You're a big chonker."

Or maybe that's my cat?

I love an Easy Rider shoutout!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

The clueless expression on her mother's face was like mine in Calculus class freshman year 1983 in college.

[poeticlicensed]

Mom is going to catch flies with that open mouth

[Snarkastikate]

Why is mom's mouth hanging open like the town idiot?  

[peaceknit]

Mother is just sitting there gawping.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Dammit, Johnny, you forgot to award the femoral artery blood clot filter to @poeticlicensed.  That's the fancy prize.  It will let them take a long car ride so they can enjoy the car full of snacks.

[ams1001]

Megan: "She definitely helps me."

Dr. Now: "I'm not sure that's accurate."

Me: "Translation: Bullshit!"

Honestly, it's nice to see one that has at least a little personality and doesn't just mumble their way through this thing.

Star struck or dumbfounded? She is sitting there looking like she doesn't understand the diet.

Assuming most of the poundicipants with glasses are wearing readers That can be bought over the counter since they obviously didn’t go through a detailed exam in an office to get a prescription. They wouldn’t fit in the exam chairs. 

I always wonder about that. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

THe Mother really thought Dr. Now would say she wasn't that big.   Mommy really thought Dr. Now was going to fall in love with her.   I can't stand either of these fools. 

That awful seat cover looks just like the mother.     I call bull on the sisters causing anything.   She weighed 300 before the father ever left, and eats enough for a football team.

They might be blurring a brand name. 

[umgoblue]

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...

8 meds! Wow

Like Megan, I'm on two different meds for my high blood pressure and I'm on blood thinners. Unlike Megan, I didn't have sisters who tormented me into an eating disorder.

I really think they're playing to the wrong audience with these Peleton and The Mirror commercials. Do they not understand their audience?

i want a Peleton, but I have no room for it.

"Okay. Okay. Okay."

I think her record got stuck.
