[FormeryHeavyJ]

Is she driving from the back seat like Bubba Smith in Police Academy?

[Suzywriter]

My goodness, she takes care of her child's health and works?? I like her!

[ams1001]

For the quarantine bakers: check out the latest Ologies podcast on baking bread!

[7EasyPayments]

Just finished a fantastic sweaty workout.

8 ounces Moscato now for today's total calories of 1524.

Youngest of 9 kids!  That sounds like fun to me, to be honest.

Oh I feel you on the baking disorder. I've taking to trying to perfect puff pastry...from scratch and dear god its good.

Oh, you're leagues ahead of me in baking prowess! I don't do anything fancy, just basic bread, cookies and cake. Which I then hoover up myself. (insert rueful laugh).

I may regret this later, but our obesee has a job and takes care of her baby. Props.

I don't know much about asthma - do  most kids w/it need oxygen before they leave the house?

That isn't oxygen it's most likely a nebulizer with albuterol- which is something that opens up airways for asthmatics.

[Callaphera]

For the first time in a long time, "I'd eat some of daddy's cakes and drink some of the daddy's Cokes," isn't the start of some fucked up tale of sexual abuse. 

...what show am I watching again?

[DC Gal in VA]

Well hellooooooooo Pounder Pals! Got my bottle of sauvignon blanc chillin all day in the fridge 'cause, as recent episodes required, I'll probably need it for tonight. I plan to drink just a bit of it like the lady that I am just like this:

Oh yeah, I am so klassy!😁

Cynthia had a job as a teacher.

I'm pretty sure there was some who worked at a theater as a costume designer or something. 

[babyhouseman]

Wasn't a woman pounder a dietician or a nutritionist? Or did I dream that?

[Concerned]

Why no childhood pictures?

Wait, she has a JOB? Is this a first? 

More poundticipants have had jobs than not or were married to a partner with a job.  The show does not focus on them.  

I have never been so happy that someone is wearing underwear.  That was one heckuva opening shot of her getting out of bed,

[Chicklet]

She's .....ROUND.

[Snarkastikate]

OMG she's actually got A JOB!!!!   I don't care how many, how delusional, how whatever she is, she gets a big gold star!!! 

How on earth did she manage to get pregnant at her size???  Shocking  really.

[Hellga]

How old is she?    Sounds like her weight issues came up in adulthood, that's pretty unusual for a poundticipant.

[ShortyMac]

I'm ahead of you all. Decided to watch early.

Hello. Got Arby's for dinner...Chicken Bacon and Swiss, and mozzarella sticks, no soda, or milkshake...

[Gbb]

I want her to succeed. Her daughter needs her. 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

"I had heavy boobs".  Is that going to be entered into the pounders hall of fame with "owww mah leg"?

[ShortyMac]

40.

[LizzyB]

Wow--sounds like most of her weight gain has been in the last 10-15 years?  That might bode well for success.

Nikki.

[CringeWatcher]

My people! Hope everyone is well. My eating habit just gets stranger and stranger. Tonight it was lima beans and roasted beets. And now it’s time for a nice cold 🍺

I wish one of them would say, “and when I hit 400 lbs at age 15, it was pretty much a cinch my life would end up like this.” 

[Suzywriter]

She hated having dark skin? Last I looked, that is a desirable trait.

[Chicklet]

She needs her thyroid checked like right now.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Just now, Concerned said:

She's the last of nine or ten kids.    The last kid has no pictures.     

I don't know what that is on her tray, but I want all of it.  And I want it right now.

Oh, that's right. I remember the costume girl. She was a success, wasn't she? I remember liking her. 

I know a lot of poundticipants start out having jobs, then have to quit because it interferes with their eating. "I got to heavy so I had to quit"  

Edited April 16, 2020 by Pepper Mostly

[Hellga]

Wow, that's a LOT of food for one person!   Limiting her lunch to one plate would have been a good start...

[LizzyB]

If you can leave an abusive relationship, Leneatha, you can lose this weight.

I don't remember who it was, but there was one who used to do diabetes and nutrition presentations in the inner city until the program lost funding. She had a sense of humor about doing that - then going out to eat afterwards.

[Splashes]

Good evening pounders. Why are none of these people clearing speaking?

[Azubah]

Just now, Pepper Mostly said:

Was that Amber? 

No, it wasn't Amber, but I'm blanking on her name. Long red hair, I think.

[umgoblue]

She gets around really well.  It is nice to have a poundticipant who works, too.  I missed what she said, but did she say she has been at her job for 23 years?

[FormeryHeavyJ]

That was the one who was walking on the treadmill with the floor length skirt.  I'll never know how she didn't take a header into the control panel.

[Snarkastikate]

She's gotta be in the 700 lb range.  

[umgoblue]

Pregnant...not so unexpected when you do the do without protection.  Hmmm...

[Azubah]

Nikki, that was the costume designer.

Yes, that's her. How ironic.

[fonfereksglen]

The audio remix sounds like she has two personalities.... one with a high voice and one with a deep voice.  

[Concerned]

So she works at a hospital, what does she do?

[Chicklet]

I'm very very full just watching her order and eat nonstop.

Sounds like her kid's name is Kindling. What??

I teased my mom because my brothers had bronzed baby shoes and I didn't, but the advantage of being the youngest is that my parents got worn down so I got away with more.

[Pepper Mostly]

I'm guessing 680. 

[Granny58]

So far I'm on her side

Yes, she started it at 18, so it must be 22-23 years...

[StitchPunk]

I'm terrible at guessing someone's weight, but I'll guess 670?

I don't think so; it must not be well controlled at all.

My eating habit tonight was the best meal of the quarantine ----a gourmet spaghetti pie from the small neighborhood grocery and wine store, fresh asparagus, raw carrots, salad, wine, and coconut cake.  It was so delish.  Thanks to my neighbors who bring us groceries. 

I can only read along.   A storm Sunday night dropped a tree limb on our poor dish so we will be awaiting the repair dude in the morning.  Fingers crossed he isn't a carrier of COVID germs.

Looks like she's the Official Taster in the cafeteria.
