She only ate 3/4 of that coffee cake. Let's count that as a win

I came in a little late, but am sorta confused... Who is providing the voice over whiny voice?  And when we do here Melissa's voice it sounds different (different volume and pitch even) from scene to scene

Melissa sounds like she wants a job as a motivational speaker in some segments...

Help!

Y'all are not helping me understand!!!

[kacesq]

That’s a lot of food. Wow. 

[MsVixen]

Hey Pounders!!!!  How are y'all tonight?  Melissa actually sounds like she has a brain in her head!

Any of you Pounders post on the 1000 Pound Sisters forum?  I've got a snarky question about episode 3 of the second season.

BTW, my eating habits are Yakisoba chicken and beef combo bowl with fresh vegetables.

[Pepper Mostly]

And her lone friend comes over, bearing enough Popeye's chicken for 10 people.Holy fucking moly.

[mmecorday]

I'm getting a second-hand stomach ache from watching her eat all that food!

[kacesq]

Do all the Pounders have enablers like Shay?

[Guest]

Is she for real eating wings, rings, and mozzarella sticks after inhaling an entire tray of lasagna?!

Hmm. This one is hitting some nerves for me. Being called stupid every day..I went through that. It's devastating. 

Yes, never being good enough for parents is awful, and leaves deep scars. 

Yes, all poundticipants have enablers, and some have delivery people who serve them too.

Scrawl (with an onion hanging from her mouth, to boot) on her face, just as she tells us that Melissa is bubbly!  That cracked me up.

[Pepper Mostly]

You know what? One of my greatest pet peeves is when someone announces "I'm going to be nice".

I spotted wings, onion rings and mozzarella sticks

[Scarlett45]

Melissa’s friend brought her that carry-out meal. That’s a “junk food” meal, but the friend only had one container and Melissa had four of them.

Hey y'all.  What's wrong with her skin?  Just acne?  Looks like something more?

It looks like eczema. It's probably a food allergy (not joking). Citrus, dairy and grain are the usual suspects when it is that severe.  My sister had it...it's awful.

I wonder if she has vitiligo and has makeup (bad makeup) on it. You really need to get the good stuff for coverage. 

[Hellga]

She was such a cute kid...  and she sounds smart.  I am going to have high hopes for her, and I am proved wrong, so be it!  

[SunnyBeBe]

She appears to be tortured as she eats.

[umgoblue]

Who counts on her?

Her apartment seems well kept and clean.

It does. Except for that toilet seat. I don't even want to know.

I've got one already from her lasagna dinner.

[WhitneyWhit]

I like how they always hold their pinky out while eating...so proper

Yep. And they are all deniers too. As in "I didn't do it". Bad cycle on this show.

[rlc]

Where is her center of gravity? I can’t find her center?

She’s also dipping the fried chicken and onion rings in ranch dressing.

She's saving the rest for an amuse bouche before her onion rings.

[Suzywriter]

All of those ingrown hairs look like she may also have polycystic ovarian syndrome as well. I'm trying to get a peek at her thyroid gland, but its obliterated. 

[poeticlicensed]

Florida to Texas is a long ass drive

[SunnyBeBe]

Oh lord....the airport.

[Kid]

I was wrong.  Her friend brings her take out.

[poeticlicensed]

Airport here we come!

Vitiligo was my first thought, too.

[hookedontv]

Whoa! I’m 15 minutes late and there’s already 3 pages of live chat. 
 

How y’all doing? My eating habit is just a protein shake because I just got home and I’m too tired to eat a real meal (said no poundtestant (?) ever).

My mom had a procedure in the hospital today and I’m exhausted.

I used to drink beer like that in college. People made fun of me for it.

[PaTatertots]

Oh lord, we flying.

[poeticlicensed]

Honey the seats have gotten even smaller

[ShoePrincess]

Good evening, Pounders. My eating habit tonight was a salad and a bowl of leek and potato soup. I'll be having a glass or three of wine to get me through Melissa. 

She does seem to have some self-awareness and seems smarter/more educated than most. Hoping for a success story.

 

[7EasyPayments]

Imma gonna eat wings, including the bones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🐔

[katycat74]

We haven't had a plane ride in a long time

[Chicklet]

Oh here comes the clown car.

[Arynm]

It has been forever since we had a flyer. I am excited. I love watching them figure out the airport and the plane.

[String Theory]

This should be interesting- my laptop crashed so have to text replies using my phone.  Never been a very speedy texter

Well it sound like we're right on track with Melissa she has:

• Anxiety (check)

• Feeling depressed/embarrassed

• Uses food as a pick me up.

• Daddy left them, her mom has been a total bitch who made her have an abortion . Dad dies which depressed her, then mom (despite Melissa blaming her) passes = more depression & more eating.

• Obligatory multiple times saying "she knows food is killing her" (complete w/tears.)

Uh oh, she has a person that she's close to.  Hopefully Shea won't force her to do anything she doesn't want.  (We all saw how that worked for Cindy.

This flight to Houston s/b interesting.

Here it comes. People staring. Panic attack before boarding. Possible meltdown. Its been awhile since one of the poundticipants has flown.

And complain because 1) everyone is watching them and 2) its a lot of walking 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Now the eternal struggle.  The poundticipant thinks they only have to get two tickets, and are shocked when they have to buy three seats.    

That lasagna feast was something.  

At least she wears clothes.     

I like her.  She's clean, and mobile. and seems nice.  At least until they cut her massive meals off, and she sees what 1200 calories a day look like.

[Suzywriter]

she has a bizarre figure. She's like a barrel on hips that are 4 sizes too small, and her butt is a 30 degree angle. 

[WhitneyWhit]

Just from experience I'll probably come to regret these words later in the episode, but I kind of like her.

Greetings! I am here for my very first Pounder live chat! Heard good things about it from the 90DF forums,

Welcome!

Don't judge. It's lasagna.

Garfield, is that you???

One of the reasons I never make lasagna at home is that I would have to eat it all myself, but for me it would be a week of lasagna for every meal... so I get a takeout lasagna from a local Italian eatery and that is only two meals!
