S09.E09: Isaac's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Isaac helped raise his siblings after his mom suffered a debilitating stroke when he was 10. While learning to cook for his family, he began comfort-eating. Now to avoid eating himself to death, Isaac must learn to take care of himself for a change.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the initial US showing.

Good news everyone! Grapes are a zero-point food on Weight Watchers! 

[babyhouseman]

Hello. Been watching icy Texas in the news. Wonder if Dr. Now's place was affected?

[aliya]

Hello everybody! I hope our Texas pounders are safe, warm, and well.

My eating habit was a bagged Caesar salad w/leftover chicken & a chopped apple (very good) followed by a Yasso frozen yogurt bar.

[ams1001]

Helloo!!

Tonight's eating habit - homemade baked mac & cheese and beets. Ice cream for chat. Let's do this!

[hookedontv]

How y’all doing? I hope Dr Now is ok in the crazy TX weather. 
 

My eating habit tonight was vegetable dumplings and sautéed asparagus. 
 

Getting ready for another snow storm tomorrow. Bring on the snark! 

[sainte-chapelle]

Will tonight be a success? Let’s hope so

Hello Pounders! Eating habit? Home made leek and potato soup, with some Brussels sprouts I roasted in the air fryer, just for fun.  Followed by four (FOUR!) chocolate peanut butter cookies. 

Texas peeps, I hope you're all OK! I've been following the news with a mixture of horror and disbelief. I hope things improve very soon!

[Kid]

Good evening, Pounders.  I am in Tennessee north of Memphis. We got 7 inches of snow two days ago and expecting another 3 to 5 tonight!!!

I left New Jersey to get away from this!

[7EasyPayments]

Hello people !

Spinach salad with chicken, daily calories 1201. 

More snow overnight.

[Chicklet]

Good evening, I ate Hello fresh apricot Miso chicken , was yummy but damn why do I have to cook dinner the minute I come home from work? Rhetorical question.

I'm waiting for a success.

[Twopper]

Howdy pounders!! how y'all doin'?  

Eating habit for Ash Wednesday was crab cakes, English peas, and sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon. 

I have given up hoping for a success.   I well settle for the poundticipant just not being a total failure.

[MsVixen]

Hi Pounders!!!!  Eating habit was 1/2 of a Panera Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich with chips!  

Had a major thought during the week about the show.  Since this is during the Pandemic, a lot of hospitals are probably close to being filled with patients.  Most hospitals are only doing essential surgeries.  Are bariatric surgeries considered  essential?

Ooooh, he's a big 'un!

[poeticlicensed]

Try munkpack granola or nut and seed bars folks! Gluten free, 2 g carbs 1 g sugar, plant based. No additives. Delish!!

[sainte-chapelle]

Is it true people are freezing to death in their own homes in Texas? I hope everyone is safe.

[Arynm]

He is wearing jeans so that's a start, but the lack of underwear is disturbing.

[sagittarius sue]

Howdy Pounders.  My eating habit was some pasta salad, and I might have a slice of lemon loaf with some tea later.

[ams1001]

"Weight unknown" is never a good start.

I'mma kick it off with 642.

Angel and Angelisa? Please tell me they're twins.

[Guest]

Uh...I think Isaac's "story" needs an chapter for his sister.

[hookedontv]

Looks like the whole family could use some help.

[Suzywriter]

Hi alll! 

Did I miss the shower? 

Eating habit: vegetable curry and a poached egg on top.

[fonfereksglen]

Not  sure I can deal with a neckbeard two weeks in a row.

[OoogleEyes]

Hiya Pounders! Glad to be with you all on this freezing evening. 

My eating habit was scrambled eggs and rye toast. Very comforting for me. 

[ShortyMac]

More living room cooking!

[ams1001]

Looks like they could all use Dr. Now.

[Hellga]

Hi All!  Hope this one will be a good one for a change.

No eating habit today yet - I am still babysitting a roasting duck, it has another 45 minutes to go (basting every 10 minutes, now just switched from balsamic to balsamic-honey glaze.  I will eat it with *drumroll* grapes.  And rice left over from lunch.

I spilled duck blood while prepping, so my kitchen looked (and smelled!) like a frigging murder scene two hours ago.

I am sure he is. We are all affected. 

[Chicklet]

Mom looks bigger than the poundicipant, good lord.

[Kid]

The sister could use Dr. Now as well.  UPDATE - they all could!!

No shower scene-yet. But we saw him naked on the bed getting dressed.

Thankfully, no.  We were spared from that tonight... so far...

[Arynm]

This entire family is big a little bit. They all need Dr. Now

[Wanda]

I won’t freeze with my gas soaked undies for thinking Dr Now’s patients should be nice and warm with all their insulation

 

 

i’ll see myself back out

Edited February 18, 2021 by Wanda
Been gone so long I spelled the doctor’s name wrong

[ams1001]

Little doggie!

[mmecorday]

Hello! How y'all doing? My eating habit tonight was Tuscan Chicken -- chicken breasts cooked low and slow in the crockpot with onions, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, spinach and goat cheese. YUM!

I've heard and seen awful things. People are going to their cars to get warm. Pipes are bursting, people are getting power for 20 minutes at a time before it goes out again. People are dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. It's grim.

And the rest of his family. 

[sainte-chapelle]

I watched a documentary about Henry VIII and a 52 inch waist seems slender. 

[Guest]

LOL ... there is no way TLC didn't force these people to assemble in the living room to cook their morning feast.

[hookedontv]

This camera angle from the floor looking up at the seated poundticipant gives me life. 

[ams1001]

Paper plates 'n' Solo cups...

[Suzywriter]

I think that Philo runs about 5 minutes behind real tv. 

[7EasyPayments]

I'll have 12 thousand pancakes. Please.

[Hellga]

He isn't kidding, 'cook big meals for the family'.  They are all big sized!

[Suzywriter]

Dang, that's a lotta mama. 

[hookedontv]

Plastic utensils and paper plates FFS.
