[PrincessPurrsALot]

Every time they said "eating habits" I correct it in my head to habit.

Gawd, he looks like he's going to collapse before he even reaches the car

he gets points for driving at least.  I know it's a low threshold, but he's out of the house with his 'agoraphobia."

[Concerned]

Funny that he didn’t get surgery before because he was badly injured in a car wreck and the first commercial features Tracy Morgan who collided with a Walmart truck a few years back.

Denny Downer? 

[MsVixen]

Good evening Pounders!  My eating habits was a half of a Panera Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich with fresh vegetables.

Just a hunch but I don't think there will be an operation tonight.  If Michael's scar tissue prevented surgery before, how can he have one now?

My eating habit was Trader Joe's orange chicken and beef with broccoli. Nummy. It was a good sitch-a-shen.

Oldest kid named after a Buffy character?

One of my kids is named after a Buffy character.  I've never LARPed though.

None of the Keebler cookies taste good to me. 

Feed 'em to NutriSystem Marie.

[SplashesinPuddle]

He at least seems more introspective than a lot of people.

"Office chair in the kitchen" is on the bingo card! 

Eeven when my parents had the computer in the kitchen (my dad built a desk into the end of the counter) we just used one of the extra kitchen chairs for it.

[Guest]

Best part of this episode is the absence of the giant Discover + ad in the corner.

[WonTon]

What is LARPing? I came in a little late tonight.

My daughter is named after a character on Moonlighting. Now nobody knows what that show is but I used to love it.

I had to look that up. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

He's actually wearing real, tied shoes.  

Month 1-609    (I really thought he would be a lot heavier).

[WonTon]

Wow. A lot less than I thought.

[Arynm]

609? That seems very low

[mmecorday]

Don't you love it when they're relieved when they're "only" in the 600s?

He needs a Prozac drip. 

I am afraid he is beyond help of anything but Dr. Guillotin's panacea... 

 

He is 609.  Fairly low numbers this season!  I keep guessing up in memory of seasons past.

[aliya]

Well, not as high as I thought. He must be 7' tall.

[Floatingbison]

This guy can really rock a bowler.

Perhaps it’s a different type of surgery. E.g., a sleeve vs. a bypass.

And what the heck do I know....I’m not a doctor. I don’t play one on TV.

But I think this whole process is going to unleash 600+ lbs of anger.

[Guest]

Why is this clown "only going to change" if Dr Now gets involved?! Help your damn self sir! Weigh Watcher is like $10 a month.

[7EasyPayments]

Did they say how tall he is ?

[Armchair Critic]

So he won't be "devastated" if he weighs 699?

[ShortyMac]

Hello, all.

My son's ex-girlfriend is one of a set of twins named Kate and Allie. 

[Scarlett45]

He’s lighter than we thought (it does pay to be tall). His stomach is really hindering his mobility. If he lost even just 200lbs he would be able to move so much better. 

[babyhouseman]

Snazzy hatband.

[Armchair Critic]

BINGO! Dr. Now is his only hope.

Uh, oh!  He can't see 700...my guess 712 (just so I can see his head explode)!!

Why hath thou forsaken me?!?!?  What did I ever do to not be granted this one wish?!

[poeticlicensed]

Dr. Now is my only hope - check

He looks like he should be with Chrissy Metz, he reminds me a bit of Toby on This Is Us

Lord, can you imagine both of them feeling sorry for themselves and blaming everyone?

His head almost reaches the door frame....he’s at least 6’6 I think.

Live-Action Role Play.  

[Concerned]

Is LARPing better than being a Jugalo like Nicole?

[Guest]

"Splendectomy."

I really have nothing against LARPing. I’m just hating this couple tonight.

Which character? I’d name a kid after Tara or Willow, if I were to have kids, which I never would have.

[Floatingbison]

Michael:  No surgeon will touch me and cut through the scar tissue.

Dr. Now:  Hold my beer

I LOVED Moonlighting. Maddie and David and Ms. Depisto and Herbert Viola!

Well, it does seem to be mostly belly fat.  He doesn't have fat in weird places, like a bump on the forehead or butt wings.

 

[Suzywriter]

He's such a whiney baby. 

Wire his jaw.

I actually said "ONLY 609?" out loud.

Abused and tortured as a child, just in society?  OH RLY???   Oh emoting!

I've gotta say, it is working. Each week I consider subscribing more and more.

Yup, her name is Madelyn and Maddie for short, like the character. LOL

Disclaimer: I have become so accustomed to them not making it to Dr Now's before I have to drop off for a work call, I may have missed a weight guess.  

Tonight's winner is @Arynm with a prescient guess of 638 pounds.  Johnny, tell them what they've won!

You've won:

• Five loaves of garlic bread (a.k.a. a snack)
• A vat of scar salve 
• A PS5 controller (sorry, we cannot offer the full system)
• A spray bottle for personal cleansing
• A handy shaving machete 
• And, as always, the respect and awe of your fellow pounders!
