S08.E16: Leneatha's Story LIVE CHAT

[CrazyInAlabama]

Month 1-604

Month 6-575

I really like her gym buddy.   He's not cutting her any slack is he?  

She better do very well, because she needs to succeed.

Oh no! Now she's claiming she doesn't eat much.    Dr. Now is being tough with her, and I love him for it.     Bet next month she's down 100 lbs.   

I hate the Kyleena commercials.

Well knock me over with a feather.  She did lose a little weight.

[Suzywriter]

I need those queens. Need. 

[Hellga]

She didn't do nearly as well as she should have, but she did put in an effort, at least.

I heard that and immediately logged my food, which I had neglected to do yet today.  TLC--good for something!

I thought about cheese logs. I thought it was an incentive thing.

"All I've had is salad and meat" is the new grapes and fat-free jam.

[Armchair Critic]

Another episode with no weight loss surgery and a half hearted walk in the park ending?

I am loving this workout...I'm plotting what items I can use to do some strength training while incarcerated at home. 

Also, Len has the same surfboard-in-the-pants butt as Dottie had. 

I use my step ladder as a stair climber of sorts. I have some weights here that I should be using, but teaching from home takes waaaay more time than you might think. And our administration must have a 100 email per day quota they have to fill. 🙄

[poeticlicensed]

9:25 and they are fighting over what she is eating. Snore...

 

 

 

 

[Snarkastikate]

Whatever you're eating, it's still too much.  Gotta remember that one too LOL 

[Callaphera]

Ugh. No, Dr. Now. Sugar Free Jell-O is an abomination. Don't tell people to eat that shit. It tastes like wiggles and sadness. 

[7EasyPayments]

HAHAHAHAHA

It still TOO MUCH! 

What a loser/non-loser !!! LOLOLOLOL 🤣

I love Jujube. She's my Boston homie, too!

Oh nooo science and physics, that can't be right. Nobody in this country believes in science!

Well not on this show.

[aliya]

If she says she's not eating, and the gym guy asked her for a food log, why not bring it to Dr Now? She's eating more than she thinks she is, whether on purpose or by mistake.

That 90 day fiancé tho. My s/o watches that. I peak in over in awhile. 
 

TLC:

Trainwreck Lifestyle Channel 

 

Remember the good ol' days when it was actually The Learning Channel with a goal of edify the mind with good, wholesome content that advanced your knowledge of the world?  Yeah, it's hard sometimes to recall that era!

Her friend is holding her accountable with a food log!

As long as it isn’t a cheese log!

That hair makes her look like Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man

I think the show has a great cast - I honestly can't complain about a single one of those queens. 

[MsVixen]

I keep getting ads from The Popcorn Factory!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I would suspect she is eating higher calorie items than she thinks she is.  The portions are very small but they are high calorie.

[nytonc]

Covid is wreaking havoc with my trash tv schedule! I keep forgetting my fave shows are on.  Is this a poundticipant with a real job?

I hate Jell-O as a rule. I'm with Sophia from "The Golden Girls." "If God had meant for peaches to be suspended in mid-air he would have filled them with helium."

[umgoblue]

I have to disagree with Dr. Now on that one. 

Remember I ate air and saliva for my eating habit a couple of weeks ago?  The scale was up TWO pounds...apparently, oxygen  has caloric content.

I said this on the last episode thread for 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days but it also fits here:

I blame Kate Gosselin for this. Because I can and because it's fun. Fuck her and her Karen hair, it's all her fault. 

[Azubah]

So PUT her in a controlled environment instead of lecturing about it. 

Jesus H.

[Concerned]

Cole slaw is terrible. It’s a mayonnaise delivery system. A cup of mayonnaise with some lettuce leaves.

[poeticlicensed]

I'm not eating. Yesterday I had eggs bacon KFC. Yep

Well, that's why it's terrible - you're supposed to use cabbage, not lettuce. 

[Guest]

Here we go with the 15-minute in-person Skype chat. 

[Pepper Mostly]

I feel bad for her now. She's genuinely upset. She needs to talk to Lola. 

[Chicklet]

LOL the paper towel dispenser for the win.

Which reminds be: this is my new go to for that concept. The airlock scene from Avenue 5. I gotta go read that forum.

Jeez. I had to mute most of that discussion. 

I'm not defending Leneatha, but I will say this - especially as a diabetic, she may have been taught she needed to eat frequently so she didn't get low blood sugar. I know I was. This is terrible, old advice. If you're eating a regular (not low carb or keto) diet like the ADA, it just keeps carbs floating around your system all day.

She may also have issues with being at work, not eating, and then starving later and not knowing if she'll get the time to eat later, will have to get take out because she's too hungry to cook when she gets home, etc. Been there.

I'm on a medication that affects how hungry I feel. I had a problem at first because I wouldn't get hungry until 7 or 8 pm and was always told not to eat late plus I was afraid I'd pass out around 10 or 11 from not eating. The doc said, "Eat when you're hungry." Wha? So now I don't worry about it. I also know I don't have to have a meal just because I'm hungry. I just need something, not everything.  She needs a forward-thinking nutritionist. 

My antipsychotics have made me really balloon and Ive gained around 40 pounds on it. Im on other meds that are supposed to help. Losing weight is just really hard and I often forget about whats going and and its hard for me to get energy to actually cook and prepare a meal.

[Snarkastikate]

Wow that's her story and she's sticking to it!!!!   

I think I speak for all of us when I say Lenethea for the love of God, shut the fuck up, stop with the bullshit, get with the program, lose some damn weight and then get the fucking surgery!!!   Jesus Christ!!!!

[Callaphera]

Sweet. Dear. Jesus. Make it stop. What did I do to deserve this?

The episode was that dull and that short on material that we had to have THREE of these never-ending talk scenes?

[poeticlicensed]

She thinks shes eating 1200 calories. But she is not. He should put her on a controlled diet do she can see and experience what 1200 calories are. 

[umgoblue]

She is getting too much Dr. Now time, so much dialogue.  They have no content for this episode.  Can you imagine if doctors spent this much time with each patient?  It would never happen in today's world of health care.  It is exhausting and quite frankly, boring.

[novhappy]

This is just a terrible episode. Just a diet show. They haven’t showed her eating at all. Did they not have access. You know they’d love to have shown her shoving food in and then claim she doesn’t eat. I think she need to have her metabolism checked. 

[Kid]

She does not understand that she’s eating a lot MORE than 1200 cal a day.  It’s not that she is not losing weight on 1200 cal a day!

[ams1001]

Speaking of TLC characters: Does anyone watch Dr. Mike on YouTube? He did a compilation video asking 100 doctors questions about coronavirus and Dr. Pimple Popper was in there.

[OoogleEyes]

ZZZZzzzzzzz 

*snort* wha??

At least someone gave the poor woman a paper towel

A KFC two-piece and cole slaw is NOT on the diet.

There's cole slaw and there's cole slaw. 

[LizzyB]

Well, I'm impressed with all of you Pounders who are still commenting on the content.  You have excellent attention spans!  I have "lost the plot," as they say, but in this case, literally (I am also close to losing the plot, figuratively, at this point 😫).

[Suzywriter]

I get this, sort of. 

When I went on Keto, I lost nothing for 4 munts. I gave up my beloved cakes and ice cream, no Good n Plenty or Hot Tamales candy, no dinners of fresh bread and sweet butter with a little parmesean sprinkled on each slice. Meat. Eggs. Tuna. Turkey. Salad. Certain, sad vegetables. No potatoes, no carrots. Riding a bicycle 8 miles a day. A real bicycle, to and from work. I. Lost. Nothing. It took my body that long to adjust. 

Month 5, I began to lose. Finally. Still, while my Keto pals were celebrating 40 lbs, I was jusssst getting to 10. It took a year to lose that 40, and 10 came back in less than a month of couching and "having a little" in quarantine.  My wild cheat nights consisted of having a single serving can of baked beans with my grilled chicken or having a baked potato instead of brussels sprouts. 

I'm back on the wagon, but I really, really get feeling like I am eating less that everyone around me, and still not losing.
