Why does anyone, in the year of our Lord 2021, need guidance on "how" to lose weight?

Google.com is FREE. And open 24/7.

Kenae' used Google and it caused tantrums. 

I think that the issue Kanae had and part of the reason "do your own research" may not be all that helpful is that the vast, vast majority of weight-loss material on the internet is intended for people who are much smaller and healthier than these poundticipants. Heck, half of it is just fitspo targeted at people who are already a healthy weight.

Like Kenae' who "knew" that losing 100 lbs in two months wasn't healthy. She's right...as long as you don't currently weigh 600-700 lbs.

I wonder if we're going down to Dr. Paradise City tonight?

She had two cans of Diet Pepsi next to her while she gorged on the metric ton of pasta.

I missed that. 😀

"You just woke up and you take a nap?" Don't knock it till you've tried it, Dr. Now!

I just laughed so loud my husband rushed in, thinking I was in need of assistance. 

When I retire (this summer!) I intend to do nothing but read, sleep, and hang out on the internet snarking on TV shows with strangers. 

[Hellga]

She is definitely delusional about her whole family dynamics...

[Floatingbison]

YES!! DR. PARADISE!!!!

Dr. Paradise comes as a package deal with Dr. Now 

The Paradise Now package.

I hope so, I need my Dr Paradise fix on Wednesday. I would also like to see the height difference in them.

[dreadfulLeigh]

I'm glad he brought up the effect of her depression. Sometimes he has a tendency to downplay mental health a wee bit.

Calling it: last scene of the show will be Krystal "hiking" with her son.

If you mean putting one foot in front of the other, on a flat concrete or grassy knoll surface, with nearby monkey bars and swings...then, yeah, "hiking"!😂🤣

[Eldemarge]

I'd love to see the step count on that fitness tracker she wears.  Eleven steps a day, maybe?

This pretty much sums up my retirement days!

I’m starting my fast now and I predict it will last about 9 hours...go me.

Hiking...sauntering...waddling. SEMANTICS! 🤣

[Burning Rubber]

That's bold; she's wondering what will happen when she overshoots Dr Now's expectations!

[Floatingbison]

She seems like she might be able to do this.  She's low key, but she seems to have a good attitude.

She likes to sleep the whole morning! And the whole afternoon! And the whole evening! Proof that carbs make you sleepy LOL.

Again, I'm calling food sensitivities. I have battled that all of my life. Wheat based foods make me so confused and sluggish that I can trip over sunshine.  If I ate wheat 5 times a day, I'd seriously be prone all day and into the  next.

That sounds great! Since last March I have only been working part time and I love it. Thank God my girlfriend makes enough money so that the pay cut has not been something the household budget can't handle.

[dreadfulLeigh]

It's always "what HE wants me to do" and not "what I need to do".

[Floatingbison]

Drive 12 hour days and it will take two days, not three days.

Seeing the height difference would be AMAZING!  But Dr. Now is saying she can do a video session with him since she said they couldn't stay longer in Houston.

Sleeping 15 hours a day screams depression to me.

Or uncontrolled diabetes. High blood sugar can make you very tired. I still have to check mine when I'm tired and think I shouldn't be, just to make sure it's not my blood sugar. The thing is, if she took her meds, she'd bring it down, wake up, and be able to get work done. I don't just go to bed 'cause I'm tired.  12 years with the nuns taught me I need to suck up the pain and work if I wanted anything in life. 😄

I wanna Lola Zsa Zsa Gabor wig sighting.

[ams1001]

Sister Wives RETURNS! 

Oh, joy.

[CrazyInAlabama]

How does anyone sign up for Dr. Now's program, and not think about the issues moving to Houston?     

[Kid]

How can she be surprised she has to move to Houston? Has she never watched this show?

I am looking for a full time job for the first time since March. Right now I work 13 hours a week. I'm dreading working the grown up hours again. 

I wish Krystal would sit on Kody.

[sainte-chapelle]

Late to the party...did I miss much?

[Floatingbison]

I draw the line at Sister Wives.  I mean, I have to show some pride.

Okay, I have to give it to her...Paul Abdul was impressive.

Yup.  Though I just got a 'revise and resubmit' so I'm still churning out journal articles between game playing and making fun of people on the internet. No napping, tho.

We could use him as a measurement. You know "she was one and a half Dr. Paradises tall".

Bingo. No one takes ownership. They live in some delusion that they're doing it for HIM. He doesn't care! He't trying to help you!

I have never watched Sister Wives. I only watch high quality programs like this show.

That undercut/side buzz just keeps creeping up, doesn't it? One day it'll slip right over that dirty mop.

[MsVixen]

She's awake from 11AM to 7 PM?  That's when some folks are doing intermittent fasting.....

[String Theory]

Is my TV on the fritz????

Dr. Now is rambling on, hard to understand him.

Most psych docs wouldn't be on board with multiple therapists.  

Said that moving to Houston may not be do-able?  Does she not know how Dr. Now's program works.

She could have saved herself a couple days in the car by going to Ohio State University bariatric program....silly me, she wouldn't have TLC cameras following her around, nor would she have the excuse of stopping at five fast food joints...

Quick recap, Krystal Hall, married to Freelin, from Frankfort, OH, 34 years old, and we now know 618 lbs.      Has a very clean, nice mobile home, lives with her nephew Josh, and the grandfather.    She was horribly abused by several people for years.    She has PCOS, hence the beard hair, and she's insulin dependent diabetic too.    Has depression, and has forever.     She gets out of bed at 11 a.m., but back in bed at 7 p.m.

Not much, . . she weighed in at 618, and they stopped for fast food five times in seven hours.  

[Concerned]

Who is the child, her son? I missed that.

Yup.  It's like the idea of 'eating less to lose weight' and 'eating less to have surgery so I can lose weight' are two completely separate things and they can never connect the dots.

I stopped watching but love to read the snark
