If she doesn't have a job already she should look into writing fortune cookies, or those motivational quotes people share on Facebook. 

It’s going to be difficult for her if he becomes less dependent.

[Floatingbison]

He's walking better, he has better movement.  

[SunnyBeBe]

Is it DONE yet?

[WonTon]

If only drama burned calories.

[Hellga]

Only 30 pounds in two months?   Meh.  He is still eating for five.

Oops, it was FOUR months.  That's 7,5 pounds per month - that's weight loss rate of someone a third his size!

There we go... Figured his progress would slow down sooner or later.. Too much time shopping for crystals I suppose.

But did you take a scooter and drive it straight into a display?

That would have made it more fun, that's for sure!

[Floatingbison]

I hit the mute button.  I just can't stand the Excuse Express these people trot out.  I get second hand cringe embarrassment. 

[umgoblue]

Time check: 23minutes

Still hasn't lost the ORIGINAL 100# he was told to 7 months ago...

No this Jackhole didn't round UP to 100.  Beyotch...that is not how it works.

Is he dense...what do I need to do?  Short bus rider, right there.

[babyhouseman]

Does clearing your shakras and auras help you lose weight? 

[TazDevil]

"You don't think 100 pounds is close enough for me to get surgery" (even though you were told 150 or 200 pounds)

Loved Dr. Now's real quick "No."

[WonTon]

Here me out guys and don't freak out. But, for some reason, he kinda reminds me of James Spader.

I was losing 10 lbs a month for the first several months of losing. And I was a lot smaller. And a woman.

He’s angry. Bad sign.

[7EasyPayments]

No!

Loved the emphatic NO, about the lack of weight loss.

[TazDevil]

Who called the return to martial arts scene?

[Floatingbison]

Five more times to public places. . . .In n Out, Whattaburger, Wendys, IHOP and Buckee's Truck stop for pork rinds and Mountain Dew.

[Concerned]

Well this makes sense. Get back into martial arts.

[OoogleEyes]

He can barely breathe walking from the car to the dojo. Not good

[DropTheSoap]

Sweep the leg, Michael.

[7EasyPayments]

I wanna PORK chop, not a karate chop!

[umgoblue]

He has his swagger back at 500 pounds. He can't walk without labored breathing and thinks...

Hmmmm...martial arts.  And then of course scared that this will not go well.  Good grief.

I am so done with his foolishness!

[Armchair Critic]

I wish him luck getting exercise but the guy gets winded just walking into the place.

[Hellga]

Getting back to martial arts is a great idea!  Both the physical and from the mental perspective if this is a good instructor.

His wife rubs him because she's staking her claim. Nobody's taking her man. 

If they can carry him, they can take him!

Oh, man, I can't with the crystal stuff.

 

It reminds me of the local crystal and herb place staying open during the pandemic because they provide health services.  Sure, you can load you pockets with crystals and balance a pyramid on your head, but a mask and social distancing will do a hell of a lot more to keep you safe. 

[Guest]

Oh, shocking! He wound up doing martial arts at 9:43 p.m. 

WHO COULD HAVE EVER KNOWN?

Me. Wax on, wax off. 

[TazDevil]

Well this is new.  Chair Karate.

[Eldemarge]

He's still talking.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I wonder if that chair will hold him?  

I wish he would shut up!

Looks like Dr Now was right about the wife. She may have had the surgery, but somebody was feeding him all that food. She sure wasn't supportive before. Maybe she likes him this way. Keeps him a baby, which is certainly the way she talks to him.

[mk828]

Sitting and hitting the punching bag?? Definitely going to strike fear in any attacker!! 

[magemaud]

Michael and Kim process regally out of Dr. Now’s office, side by side, holding hands, heads held high, like Henry the VIII and one of his wives. 

[poeticlicensed]

I'm looking for a new show to watch. 90DF turned so fake i dropped it. I started watching sister wives but its the same old shit. I watched a few episodes of Love after Lock up. Thats some crazy shit but I dont know if I can handle the stupidity. Need suggestions

He's the best around. Nothing's ever gonna beat you down.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh for crying out loud. FIVE MORE SECONDS IN THE CHAIR. I AM KING OF THE WORLD.

[mmecorday]

I was waiting for the instructor to say, "Break the wrist and walk away. Break the wrist and walk away."

[Floatingbison]

I like this trainer . . . he's high energy!  That counts for a lot.

[Concerned]

He should do the crane. If he pretended the dummy was the scoutmaster, he would get some real exercise.

[sainte-chapelle]

I forgot it is Wed....this does not look like a good situation 

Edited February 25, 2021 by sainte-chapelle

[fonfereksglen]

This is so awkward!  Though cathartic!

[WonTon]

I'd like to feel for this guy and root for him, but he's such a PHONY.

I loved it, too--nothing makes me crazier than a person with no expertise (in this case, Michael, who is not a physician) questioning a person with demonstrated expertise (in this case, Dr. Now).  I'm not saying we shouldn't question authority, etc., but in cases like these, c'mon. 

[umgoblue]

I can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. experienced: His marital arts form is worse than the 5 years olds in the pyramid-scheme group karate classes testing for yellow belt!😂🤣

***first belt after the complimentary white belt***

Because typos.

[Suzywriter]

Did you all watch Half Ton Teen a couple years ago? Remember the doting mom? 

Kimberly is reminding me of all of the weird, creepy mamas that fed their kids to death. The way she hugs and cuddles him, the way that she tells him how proud of him she is for failing...this is disturbing. 

[MsVixen]

All right!  I like the martial arts instructor!

[Guest]

OMG THIS CLOWN AND HIS PLATITUDES.

The way things are going, it’s Katherine Parr.

[7EasyPayments]

Is he imagining the punching bag with purple hair? Hhhmmmm

[SplashesinPuddle]

Honestly historical european martial arts looks fun. Id love to learn to sword fight if I can get to the point not needing my cripple sticks!

[Hellga]

Is this a krav maga place?  I knew a girl who got into krav maga when someone gifted her a certificate for her 36th birthday.  She loved it so much, she stopped smoking to be better in that, lost all the weight (she wasn't obese, but shew as definitely overweight) and became so good, she competed quite a bit.  Maybe it will work for Michael too..
