Have I been deprived of airport scenes? Dammit.

Huge bummer

[Arynm]

Wow! Not even 600 pounds? She is almost underweight for this show.

Aww she was a cute kid.

She was so adorable.   I guess 590

[hookedontv]

I really don’t think I could bring bags and containers of food over to a friend who is so overweight. It’s like bringing over cases of liquor to an alcoholic. 

[Chicklet]

If she manages to lose she's going to have horrible extra skin.

[SunnyBeBe]

You know it’s bad when you discover you weigh 592 and you’re relieved it’s not higher!

It looks like she is 4'10...so I am going with 642 because on a normalish size person, she wouldn't be less than 710 (but I guess she has tiny legs?!

I am 4'10" and considered obese by BMI charts at 178 pounds (I wear a size 14). I cannot even fathom carrying an extra 50-100 pounds. 

[katycat74]

8:27 pm and already at Dr Now's. That's gotta be a record!!

[umgoblue]

@Giant Misfit  Do I get a Bozo Button for guessing her height?!?!? 🤣😆

[Floatingbison]

She's in Houston already!  So we don't get one of my favorite tropes, the Supersized Drive Thru Order on the road

[aliya]

I was just  gonna ask if she was short because her head was about at the height of the front door to Dr Now's. I know it's been a long time since I've been out anywhere, but yeah, she seemed short just looking at that.

who was the run by hugger at the airport??

A random victim of the cutting floor... maybe we will see her again.

[poeticlicensed]

Dr Now is tripping. Unless she is 4 feet tall no adult 36 year old should weigh 90 pounds 

[CouchTater]

Do we know how tall she is?  Under 5 ft, I'm assuming.

[SunnyBeBe]

I don’t understand how someone still, as an adult, drinks regular soda....isn’t it too sweet?

I'm guessing her weight at 666 lbs.  😈  I'm rotten.

I'll be sitting right next to @MrsClaus. 

🔥🔥 I'll keep your seat warm.👹🔥!

[PaTatertots]

Damn, no airport meltdown. No hotel beds snapping. I'm pissed. 

[Hellga]

She said 'me and Shay'.  My hopes for her just took a dent!!!

We also had no airport scenes! What the fuck! What even is this show? 

[Concerned]

5 feet tall and 592 pounds is a BMI of 115.

She dragged her mom and now is crying that’s she’s gone. Sounds like a country music song. Her mother’s death from kidney disease was likely related to obesity.

[ams1001]

Therapy right off the bat?!

We are being cheated for sure. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm guessing this was a leftover from the end of last season, that's why the intro is last season's people, including "Eat death, Lindsay".     

Her parents didn't support her, so she can stop that as a problem.   

I think the airport hugger was the woman who drove them to the airport.     That looked like a late evening flight.  Please don't let her therapist be Lola.   I can't stand any more letters to dead relatives.  

[magemaud]

Have we seen any tattoos yet?

This is COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arynm]

She has one of those fat foreheads like the sister on 1000 pound sisters.

How can you possibly gain in your head?

And no stops at fast food places along the way!

[hookedontv]

Can I share something with you guys? I have lost 42 pounds since October. No one else knows because of the pandemic-I don’t see anyone. 
 

Those few times where people see me I’m bundled up in a big winter coat so it’s not apparent. Ok, my mom had noticed but that’s it. 

[Hellga]

592 but her BMI is 115.  She is super-short, under 5 feet.  Wow.  

[SunnyBeBe]

I noticed she said she wanted to eat healthier. Translation:  I want to continue eating whatever I want in large quantities, but just add in some grapes and salad. 

[Kid]

She seems very self aware and that is half the battle!   There is hope for her.

[babyhouseman]

It's like her boobs lead her around.

[Floatingbison]

They're fast tracking this lady.  I sense a Dramatic Setback coming up.

That’s great. I’ve lost 22lbs since October 16th.

The fat had nowhere else to go because she's so short?

No temper tantrums, demands for a break, and hurling food out the car window! 

"Get me a large soda, for my nerves!" 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Ooh, we have a conundrum, @Twopper's guess of 590 hit the thread after the weight was revelaed in the thread which would make @sagittarius sue the winner at 597.  What to do?  What to do?  Co-winners!  After all, we trust our Pounders and know that the refresh can be slow.  

Johnny, tell them what they've won!

You've won:

• Plastic tubs to eat your food from
• A friend to stop by with a small snack of four containers of chicken, fried mozzarella sticks and a gallon of ranch dressing
• A chance to write a letter to daddy or mommy (your choice!)
• Quality skincare
• Cute shoes that still fit even if you have a large fat layer on the top of your feet
• And, as always, the respect of your fellow Pounders!

Congrats on losing 42 lbs @hookedontv.  That's fantastic.  Wait till you start getting compliments, it's intoxicating.

I think she has shifted her center of gravity. You are supposed to lead with your chest. She leans back and leads with her belly

I had a doctor once say “I guess your body just puts fat wherever it wants to go” when describing my cankles. 

Some of us just lose on the genetic lottery. 

[kacesq]

I love the Khloe K commercial “I can go about my day,” cut to surgically altered lip pouring into a camera...that’s her day.

[SunnyBeBe]

Congrats to all of you who have dropped the pounds. That must feel so GOOD!

[MsVixen]

The Kardashian chick is having migraines because of all those flipping face lifts.....

[mmecorday]

I really don't understand when they say that food calms them down. I have never once eaten a cheeseburger and said, "This is really calming me down."

[Snarkastikate]

So we're already past first appointment and it's only 8:30???  Hmmm.  interesting to see how this goes but it's unusual!!

Eating habit tonight, warm chocolate cookies with a glass of milk. Sorry but it’s that kind of night glad to be here sort of in time tonight. 

I came across a 'cooking for one' site that had a bunch of dessert recipes that look yummy...deep dish chocolate chip cookie, flourless chocolate cake, and small-batch brownies are in my future. But I won't be left with a whole huge batch.

Now a word from our sponsor, Chevy Equinox

Ahem...where is my reward...I even reminded you!!!!! 😉

Or that would be Giant Misfit...Ha!  One more chance...

@PrincessPurrsALot  Do I get a Bozo Button for guessing her weight?!?!?
