Do you think it would make any difference if TLC paid the patient a thousand dollars for every pound they lose?  They don’t seem to have any real incentive.  Living doesn’t seem to mean much to them. 

I dig that plan. But it's TLC. The budget on their shows is something like $14. And that only pays for all the freelancers they hire to film these folks. 

[DropTheSoap]

I’m going to guess 13# weight loss. 
 

wait — 2 mos?

23#

[poeticlicensed]

We need to do a "how much weight did they lose" pool. 

I say 5 pounds. If you eat a lot, one big poop will make you lose 5 pounds

[Hellga]

I say she lost, but maybe 10-15 pounds.   Just enough to double her feeling like a misunderstood heroine.  I worked soooo hard (woe #1, deprivation), but Dr. Now didn't appreciate it (woe #2, evil people being evil to her for the sake of being evil)!

You wrote this, didn't you? 

Someone on FB asked what your dream job would be and I literally put that I wanted to write scripts for this show (and Hoarding: Buried Alive) so Thank You!

It's a good thing that you are not hungry.

Uh oh...giving in to temptation, making progress, feeling good, can do better, but I PLAN to do more this month.  I am going to get better and hopefully when I go back it is enough.  BLAH...BLAH...BLAH...

I am sure it is hard to stick to it, when there are 18 adults living in a 200 sqft trailer, eating fast food all day in front her, though.  Not an excuse for her, but I can see her dilemma.

Eh. She said, archly, "No one wants to step on my toes" earlier, when she made it clear that everyone in that doublewide ate what she put in front of them without question or complaint. She could have made that work for her by trying to motivate everyone in the house to eat better. She's just setting the stage for her epic failure.

Honestly if she ate the same amount as them shed be 200 pounds not 600 pounds. The problem isnt so much what shes eating as how much.

 Betting a friend $100 that you will lose 20 pounds provides motivation and accountability and has been shown to be a successful strategy.

Now I want McDonalds

[Arynm]

I think this one is a fail. She isn't really even trying, She's just saying that she is. She said it was too hard before she even walked through the door.

She just doesn't see that healthy food can be good and good for you at the same time.

[7EasyPayments]

Discovery + I am NOT giving you any more money !!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬

Salad slathered in dressing = "healthy meal"

The sitting around in this episode is EPIC.

Honestly, why don't they do SOMETHING? Even watching game show reruns or bad sci-fi would be more interesting than sitting around staring at the squalor in which they all sag! Crochet...nobody wants crocheted items....make them anyway! You can get a hook, a how-to book an  piles of yarn at thrift shops for maybe a fiver.

A bit off topic, but you reminded me. I was in the dermatologist’s waiting room today and there was a father filling out his precocious 7 year old daughter’s “new patient” paperwork. When they got to the “allergy” section the daughter reminded her father, “Don’t forget that I’m allergic to candy corn!” 

[ams1001]

I like that they do the math for us.

I dislike black licorice but I adore Sambuca. Also anisette toasts, dipped in red wine. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

614 month 1, to 592 month 3, so minus 22 lbs.  

[fonfereksglen]

The color coordination in the weight check room was spot on!

[Floatingbison]

Wow, she's still  . . . . . large and in charge.

[DropTheSoap]

The “rabbit food” fast food salad looked like it had breaded chicken perhaps. That plus dressing probably used over half of her 1200 calories. 

[Hellga]

22 pounds.  She exceeded *my* expectations!

The difference between *taste* and *smell* of licorice.  Unlike taste of licorice, preference for its smell is not genetic (as far as we currently know). 🙂 

[Kid]

Oooops!!

"I don't think I'm getting approved for anything today."

 

[umgoblue]

I am begging her not to ask him about surgery!!  Just sit there and listen to him go off on you and don't pretend that you have never seen an episode.

[Floatingbison]

Answer the fucking question, lady!  Why are you still a land whale?

Kenae: "I really did want this" 

Pepper Mostly: "But not as much as you wanted those Big Macs"

[Hellga]

She did an excellent 'dog ate my homework' impression trying to answer Dr. Now.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Why do I have a feeling she's a "doing it my way" type?

Missed it by 1 lb. 

[ShoePrincess]

It rubs the lotion on its skin and has been working very hard.

 

I don't have much hope for Kenae', but I hope she proves me wrong.

[ShortyMac]

She's copping an attitude...

[umgoblue]

Instead of eating 'rabbit food", she ate the rabbit...FRIED!

[ams1001]

She's gettin' mad at Dr. Now...

[Floatingbison]

Diss is  dangerous sissuasion.

Is it weird that I don’t think Chris Farley was that fat?

[Pepper Mostly]

Here we go. She gets combative in 3, 2, 1.....

[Guest]

Ooooo! Kenae is gonna explode! 

[aliya]

As usual, she thinks the surgery will lose the weight for her, w/o the diet. It doesn't work that way. For the last time, this show has been on at least 10 years. Lose weight, get the surgery. Simple.

[Floatingbison]

I hate it when they cop a tude.  It's cringey and I drift off.

Maybe they just do it for the show.  I can't imagine people just sit and stare like this.

[Pepper Mostly]

Whoa, here comes the bitch face!

[Splashes]

Shes eating roughly 5000 calories per day at least.

"I never asked you for magic.  You are not a magician, and you are not God."  THE DRAMA.

we are too used to this show

[mmecorday]

I thought for a minute she was going to start singing, "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."

[ams1001]

Is she gonna be a more educated-sounding Schenee?

Yes, you didn't lose the weight. He made a logical assumption because he's been doing this for yeeeeaaars!!!
