S08.E20: One-ton Family LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Together weighing more than a ton, siblings Roshanda, Brandie and Clarence set out to lose weight as a family. But the all-for-one approach may be hurting more than it helps when each of them shows signs of heading in the wrong direction after surgery. 

Ah, the one ton family.  One ton of fun!  Or maybe not.  When we last left our hapless crew Roshanda was in no mood to be compliant.  Clarence and Brandie had put aside their pizza hoovering ways, but were having issues.  And most Pounders were considering nap time more scintillating than the episode.  Can the one-ton family continue to lose weight? Will they backslide? Will Roshanda make a big move from the chair to the couch?  Will the couch survive? These and more questions will be answered in One-ton Family Where Are They Now.  

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing and again during the US West Coast showing.  Come for the show. Stay for the snark!

If you are not on the US West Coast, you may be be able to view the show on TLC.com by signing in through your cable provider.

Good evening, Pounders!!!

[Guest]

My eating habit tonight is an IV bag filled with coffee so I can make it until 9:00 when this inevitable snooze fest ends.

[babyhouseman]

Hello. I'm eating a peanut butter cup.

[OoogleEyes]

Hello friends. I hope this is a more successful episode then we have seen in the past couple of weeks. I need a pick me up!

 My eating habit tonight was an asparagus omelet. Very tasty!

[Caoimhe]

My eating habit isn’t worth discussing, but it’s probably still not as bad as this lot!

[Armchair Critic]

I didn't realize last week was the season finale of the regular episodes of My 600 Pound Life, it went out with a whimper.

[aliya]

Hello! My eating habit is some small potatoes in butter like I saw Gordon Ramsay make the other day, 2 chicken sausage things, and a side salad. Thinking about some ice cream for later.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Hi all.  Need a good laugh tonight.  Broke my hip last week in a nasty fall while running and had to have emergency hip replacement surgery Friday.  I'm out of running & biking for a while.  Make me chuckle.

[Lillith]

Good evening Pounders! I keep missing these so I'm glad I'm actually one time. My eating habit was a beef patty and side salad with a mixed berry cup for dessert. Because if I kept eating at the rate I was I'd be on this in a couple of seasons. 

 

[Pepper Mostly]

Hello Pounders! My eating habit was takeout from our edgy ramen place, yum. No time for dessert since I was rushing up to join you all! Hope you all are keeping safe and healthy!

[mk828]

Hello fellow pounders!! One ton family tonight?? Oh boy! 

[MsVixen]

Good evening, Pounders!  My eating habits was Yakisoba chicken and beef with vegetables and dip.

Join the club!  I watch mostly so I keep myself from becoming a poundticipant.

Hello, all! My eating habit tonight was a lean cuisine and some homemade cornbread.

[ams1001]

Hi all! I never watched much of the one-ton family; I'm just here for you all. Eating habit was mashed potatoes and creamed corn with lots of butter and salt and pepper...pure carby comfort food (I intended to add chicken but I'm lazy tonight). Now I have have hot cocoa. (Made with Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder, though I got two packages from Target today and one of them should contain four boxes of their Archer Farms dark chocolate hot cocoa mix, which I ran out of weeks ago, but I haven't opened them yet. Corona paranoia means they will sit by my door until at least tomorrow night. I was at least slightly amused that hot cocoa mix was tagged as a "high demand" item that "may be unavailable or delayed" on their website. Good to know it's not just me.) And two Pepperidge Farm Brussels cookies that taste ever-so-slightly of mint because the container they are in previously held Thin Mints.

I don't know why this sentence amused me so much, but it did.

"No doctor will help us." Did you try putting the fork down? Just a thought. (hey, someone's gotta start the snark)

[Guest]

LOL ... I was expecting these folks to be the One-ton Family who had their own show. 

I barely remember this family.

 Oh no! How awful! I hope you feel better soon. Just what you not need in today's world 

[Concerned]

When they tell their sad story and the sad piano plays, the camera should pan to show a pianist playing in the room like in Blazing Saddles.

[sagittarius sue]

Howdy pounders!  I had some pizza in mid-afternoon (but I didn't have the whole thing and I didn't have wings and a tray of brownies with it).  I could have some Ben & Jerry's later.  Right now I'm content with wine.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

The three of them sitting next to each other look like the starting defensive line for the Giants.

[umgoblue]

No eating habit tonight, yet.

Brandie, The Rapper!

But in actuality...

I don’t think we’ve ever seen a poundticipant who tried that.  It’s the magic surgery that will make the urge to eat disappear.

[7EasyPayments]

Spinach salad with Tyson Seasoned Chicken. 1861 calories today, the potato chip calories these people eat BEFORE breakfast.

I am having no sympathy and giving no fucks about self destructive people today.

[Pepper Mostly]

My god I forgot, Roshonda, our lady of the caterwaul. 

[Guest]

I love how everyone has to "quit the program" to go do other things. I mean, it's not like a PhD program or anything! It's only FOOD. You can still be on a diet and do EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO DO.

[Hellga]

Hi All!

I remember Roshonda screeching like a deranged banshee, but that's about it.  And I remember that the brother decided to go do it his own way at the end...

Eating habit today will be split pea soup after it finishes cooking, I am munching on a pear for now (I *love* pears).  I had spaghetti with puttanesca sauce for lunch.  

[DC Gal in VA]

Yo, yo, yo my Pounder Pretties! Since tonight is the Grand Finale of The Masked Singer, I will miss most of the first hour of this shit show episode. 😢 Take good notes since I read some interesting tid bits--no spoilers from me--about tonight, so it should be EPIC! See you in a few....... 😇

I know 3 people who've had hip surgery over the past 5 years or so. They all did well, including one who is extremely obese. I hope you heal quickly.

I was surprised I didn't land in a pile of dog poop as I hit the ground.  Would have made the entire scene complete.  I was 45 seconds from the finish line of my house.  Tripped over a curb like a moron.

[PaTatertots]

Hola! 

Sitting here scrambling some eggs (pancake dinner plans were a bust, "just add water" mix sucks!) And heard a dang dinosaur roar coming out of my phone lol.

Ouch! Hope you heal quickly!

My dad got a new hip in February (though his wasn't broken, just...old). Not fun but he's almost done with PT and expects to be able to play golf soon (whether there will be golf to play is a different question).

I even bought split peas after you mentioned it a week (or two?) ago.  Now I must actually make the soup.

[umgoblue]

We haven't seen Dr. Now's protege since this then I wonder what happened to the potential transition.

Of course it appears that most of them just cram the food in their mouths via their hands.  Forks be damned!

In business, they say people left to peruse other projects when they mean they were fired.

I missed this group the first time around

Ams1001, trust me on this!  I've seen more people on the golf course in my Mother's city since the pandemic began.

[Pepper Mostly]

"as long as I lost a little". So, are we taking bets on how much she gains?

So sorry.  Speedy recovery to you!

I remember them. Ro with the pouty lips.  They are better than siblings Assanti and the hillbilly sisters.

Eating habit tonight is KFC honey bbq wings.  Dr. Now would be so sad

NH opened the courses last Monday.  I have been rejoicing as the husband heads off and leaves me four whole hour of me time!!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Showing how this show has warped my perception, when I saw Brandie is 370 I thought "That's nothing.  She's a lightweight".  Then I saw Brandie and reality hit.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, here we go. Stress.

[umgoblue]

Mr. UMGOBLUE just walked by asked if Brandie was the screamer! 😂😂
Brandie should be embarrassed that he remembered that.  He doesn't watch this with me.  Actually he and my daughter spend a 8 minutes each week mimicking their voices and scripts before they fall out in laughter.

[Guest]

Ohhhh, that bleached mohawk style is...something.
