S09.E10: Michael's Story LIVE CHAT

[Suzywriter]

That's a lotta spaghetti.

[TazDevil]

I consider a Totino's pizza a single serving.  But I don't ALSO eat a pound of spaghetti and a loaf of garlic bread and a full rope of kielbasa at the same meal!!  

[umgoblue]

Macaroni and cheese pizza?!?!?  Yummm....but not on ANYONE'S plan!

Oh dear...They're LARPers

I know I'm gonna sound like a Boomer here, but damn. When do these people grow up? I can't imagine living my life as an eternal child.

Also, my nephew (the ripped weight-lifting nephew), did mixed martial arts competitions until an injury. He was never over weight. He has a masters in exercise science and does competitions, trains folks at the gym, etc. I see what he eats because he does food prep videos. How in the name of all that's holy did this guy do martial arts and no one told him, "Dude, let me help you with your diet so that you can be even better at this." Little sympathy.

[mk828]

Interesting... wonder how recent this was filmed if he has PS5.. 

[Armchair Critic]

685 is my guess

[SplashesinPuddle]

I am immensely aggrevated today by nit being able to hear people well. Also I have a new account because I lost my old one.

I thought it was to scrape off the crud, but others interpreted it as shaving.

Why do they always have an office chair with arms in the kitchen?  If they have to sit down, why not a stool?

I’m 1/4 the size of these people and most stools are too small for my ass/hips to be remotely comfortable. I hate stools for sitting for long periods. Id rather just stand. 

[Floatingbison]

I'm here... I RACED down the freeway to get here!

[hookedontv]

Is she giving his stomach CPR?

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, is she massaging his stomach so he can cram some more pizza in there? 

[7EasyPayments]

Quivering voice. "He's a GLOWING star!"

Oh brother, wifey...

[Concerned]

What’s with the violet tint in her hair. 600 pounds of dead meat — thanks for that image.

Eating habit: I ordered a damned pizza after (2 years of low carb) because I accepted a job!!

This week, I got offers for not one but THREE jobs for which I am not fully qualified, but I applied anyway. THREE offers! I even had the nerve to make the first two wait because I really wanted the third one. Start date: March 8. I'm almost employed!!

Yaay!!!!!

[WonTon]

Well, he at least doesn't come off delusional.

That’s a good guess. My bet is with you. 

[Suzywriter]

He needs a Prozac drip.

Why is there a rave light show machine on all the time behind his chair? Is he going to get up and dance to some LCD Soundsystem at some point?

At least that would be good exercise.    I really hope Michael is a success story.     I hope his abuser is burning in hell.

Checking the crack for an extra slice of pizza.

[babyhouseman]

No tattoos here.

Agoraphobia. That comes from anxiety. In the pandemic, agoraphobics definitely didn't want to go out. 

[mmecorday]

Hello! My eating habit tonight was honey citrus chicken with goat cheese served on a bed of brown rice. But now I'm wondering, should I have opted for frozen pizza, spaghetti, sausage and garlic bread?

[DropTheSoap]

An all-carb meal with some carbs on the side. 

I’m going to say 643.

And no surgery.

Yeah, he's definitely a unicorn among the typical Poundticipants.

Congratulations!  I hope you enjoy the job and do great there!

666, because of the wifey. 😈

Waving hello! Don't race too much, we don't want you to pull a Tiger (too soon?)

[ams1001]

How many garlic breads you want? 3? 4?

Just bring the whole plate.

"He's a glowing star." Okay, then.

They're a dramatic pair, aren't they?

[Hellga]

Interesting that the wife must have done OK after her bypass, she looks like she is no more overweight than an average American, while he went up to a total blob...  I guess her effort did not rub off on him.  His self-pity will probably defeat Dr. Now's program too.

Oh brother, wifey...

Consider they met while LARPing. 

Oldest kid named after a Buffy character?

[Arynm]

I am going with 638. He is a big guy, but it's all his stomach, his extremities don't look super big

He's a star in the sense that he has his own gravitational field.

[babyhouseman]

His wife may be nice, but she seems dippy.

Wonder if it’s a trend that one person loses weight and the other finds it.

[Twopper]

I want a success story, but I have mixed feelings about this guy.   He doesn't have agoraphobia,  he just doesn't want to go out.  And I get it to a certain extent, as I don't like to go out when I feel overweight, but I do it.  It also serves as a brake on my eating when my clothes get too tight.

Too bad he couldn't stick with the martial arts.  At least the child we saw isn't overweight.  I am surprised the wife hasn't regained her weight being around his as that happened to someone I knew who had WLs. 

Haven't we had another couple like this,  Wife had had the surgery first--I think maybe they lived in OK.

I am guessing 702.

It seems the arms of the chair would be more uncomfortable.  Perhaps a sturdily built end table would be the ticket?

No twinkle twinkle little star here.

[Floatingbison]

ROAD TRIP TO DR. NOW!!!!

DRIVE THRUS!!!!


SPRINKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hookedontv]

Aren’t his kids old enough to be without a babysitter??? It’s a 45 minute ride, they will be gone for a few hours. 

[Arynm]

why do  14 and 17 year olds need a baby sitter if appointment is 45 minutes away?

[TazDevil]

I'm guessing 702

[SplashesinPuddle]

This guy is not going to do well.

[babyhouseman]

Is he gonna do jazz hand? The hat.

[WonTon]

He's pretty mobile, I'll give him that. He should be at least able to do some exercise.

[hookedontv]

Michael is going for a John Popper look with that hat. 

[poeticlicensed]

Whats with the chapeau??

[Kid]

He only has a 45 minute drive!!

I've a feeling we'll be seeing him attempt this again at some point in the show.

[Pepper Mostly]

I'm going to guess a round 700.
