Wasn't Zzahlyn's husband a Brit? Or was he Australian? 

He was a British a hole.

[Pepper Mostly]

Folks, I'm going to have Bingo in NO TIME. Divorced parents, check. Food's her only joy? Check. She's in pain? Check. Enabling spouse? CHECK. 

[CringeWatcher]

Hello pounders! Ain’t this one delightful??? My eating habit is seafood salad and white wine. How much wine? TBD...

Kitty cat.

CALLING IT: Letter to Shannon's mother will be in our future. 

[Drogo]

WER-KING

[sainte-chapelle]

I’m finally sleeping again you guys. Good news is my dad was moved from the critical care hospital to a weaning facility. The bad news is because they no longer think he is dying I am no longer allowed to visit.

[Hellga]

I don't get the sadness of her sad story, sorry.  Parents divorced, dad worked in fast food so I started eating fast food?  I get people with real trauma, she was just a boring person who had nothing more interesting than food to fill her time.

[Scarlett45]

It does sound like this woman’s upbringing was very unstable. Bouncing from caregiver to caregiver.....

I'm so glad to hear that he's recovering! Thank goodness, it must be a load off your mind!

I was gonna say "since when do they have to get up to eat?"

[CringeWatcher]

Sweet jebus that cat is fat. 

[MsVixen]

Hi Pounders!  My eating habits are on hold as seeing Shannon completely nude took my appetite away!  Jeez, what is all the darkness on her skin?

Her masterpieces are framed above her bed!

"They padlocked the fridge, so I ate the padlock."

[ams1001]

Okay her mom sucks.

She can, but it no longer brings can her joy! 

[mmecorday]

Hello! My eating habit tonight was Red Baron frozen pizza with extra cheese.

At first I thought this woman had dredlocks.

[Pepper Mostly]

Well, what do you expect? You were eating them out of house and home. 

[Guest]

YO.

Those butt wings. 

I can't. 

Also, it appears Shannon has a crazy eye. Which, all things considered, least of her problems.

[Concerned]

Maybe this bloke is marrying her for citizenship. She’s his anchor baby.

I wonder if at that weight the alcohol just doesn't do much...

Alcohol is not metabolized into calories.   But a) alcohol impairs judgement in terms of what you have with it and b) if you are drinking wine or beer vs. spirits, there are sugars in the drink.

Oh, yeah, that's true. (Brit, I think.)

It is! I don’t feel so crazy anymore. My new boss has been very understanding thank goodness.

I saw that!! I thought it was a cat, but I have a huge cat (not fat just large) and know how cats move, it’s the size of a medium dog!

[Twopper]

Howdy pounders!!!   I no longer have hopes for any poundticipants.

I saw Susan again this week.  She lost 153 pounds on the first try.  they need to  make everyone watch this episode before they go to Houston so they know a huge weight loss  can be done. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Shannon Lowery, age 39, Tucson, AZ   it's a 16 hour drive to Dr. Now's office, so I'm guessing four days, and at least 16 drive thrus.   She stays between her hospital bed, and commode chair, and has online friends.    Her husband Simon, her father, and a few neighbors are the only people she sees in person.     I hope she has clothes, because right now the guy who blurs out poundticipants in on overtime.    Her waist lymphademas are horrible, and must be so painful.   

I may be mean, but I don't like her already.     I don't know how tall she is, but she looks like 700 lbs.  She was a huge baby.   Divorced parents at age 5, in many homes after parents divorced when she was five.   There were five kids in the family, and then dad and stepmom divorced, and stepmom left.     How horrible, her birth mother left her at the hospital after she was born, until a long time later.        She's blaming the dad's job at fast food for her weight gain, but she was huge even as a little kid.   100+ at 7, 250 by 13 when she ate Mom and Stepdad out of everything, so Mother severed her parental rights.    At 17 over 450.   

I thought her husband had a shirt with tattoo look sleeves, but it's actually full sleeve (is that what you call it?) on both arms.   

[ams1001]

Coloring and cat-ear headbands. Is she six?

[mmecorday]

🎶"She's got Amy Slaton eyes."🎶

[Drogo]

Why the cat ears though?

[Donut Bear]

What is on her head?  A crown?

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, she's wearing her fetching kittykat ears! This tells me she's fey and whimsical! She's a fanciful little sprite!

[Hellga]

Her hair is... something.  If you can hold a fork to put food in your mouth, you can hold a comb to brush your hair!  Unless her shoulder joints gave out after being burdened with her ginormous arms...

Isn’t alcohol 7 calories per gram? Alcohol has calories. (I don’t drink alcohol but I remember this)

[umgoblue]

She is in the middle of the LONGEST compound sentence that I have ever heard...almost a full page sentence.

And...and....but...and...prepositional phase 629...and...so...and

[mk828]

My goodness.. She checks all the boxes.. Dr. Paradise is going to be busy with her

Glad to hear that.  Best wishes to him and to you!

Really ? Bacon? 

[ams1001]

Met hubby online. "I liked her smile."

Who called it?

[babyhouseman]

The cat headband. 

[Guest]

 "My first impression was that she was a beautiful woman."

[CringeWatcher]

Aaaaand she’s wearing cat ears. Such a whimsical sprite, this one. 

[sainte-chapelle]

*rewinding to look for the cat*

[Pepper Mostly]

I need to make a new Bingo card. First square "spouse says the first thing he noticed was her smile". Seriously? 

[aliya]

I'm gonna make an admission here. I was on another board where someone mentioned that reddit used to have an 'immobile' subreddit, but they didn't know if it was still there.

I'm here to tell you that it is. Good Lord. Some of the people pictured are from MSPL, others are doing it for the money (what else are they gonna do?). I thought I had seen it all w/Dr Now's people, but no. I hadn't seen anything. I felt sorry for a lot of them, but a lot of them seem to choose what they are going and are quite famous in this little subculture. Visit at your own risk. 

[Kid]

There is a lid for every pot.

[umgoblue]

Hubby: blah...bullshit...blah... most beautiful..

Me: side eye...green card? caregiver salary?

That's a huge anchor.
