S09.E12: Irene's Journey LIVE CHAT

[Pepper Mostly]

"I lift her, I empower her". Honey. You have been doing a piss poor job until now. 

[Floatingbison]

Any type of mealtime smacking/snorting/teeth sucking noises drives me up the fucking wall.  

[CrazyInAlabama]

If anyone wants egg whites, but doesn't like the look, then Egg Beaters or other egg substitutes are egg whites, but they put yellow food coloring in them.    If she doesn't stop talking while she eats, than Cameo will be finding out if a Heimlich maneuver works on Irene. 

[Hana Chan]

Those are the least appealing egg whites I've ever seen in my life. I like to make them in an modette with lots of veggies and maybe a bit of ham. And why can't she have some seasoning? Salt, pepper, some herbs? Maybe a dash of hot sauce does wonders.

[ams1001]

"Maybe because there's no seasoning" ...but it's "healthy"

You can use seasoning and be healthy! (And I'm a girl who likes my eggs scrambled with nothing but a splash of milk and some salt and pepper.)

[DropTheSoap]

Pepper, chica. Use pepper. Hot sauce, even.

[Pepper Mostly]

Seasoning does not add calories. These ladies need a Penzey's catalog.

My husband is a drummer and in his college days (70's) he was in a successful funk/rock/r&b band in Houston. They opened for Cameo one time! 

You celebrity wife, you!

Their ad department is genius!

Is that dress ripped or is this the cold boob style?

[Hana Chan]

Umm... what's with that hole in the side of her dress with the side-boob/roll? Is that supposed to be there?

[umgoblue]

Bleach...STAT!

I can't unsee/unhear her desires for sexcapades!

Calling it right now: This is not Irene's apartment. This is some AirBnB that TLC organized for a couple months and decorated with some garbage they found in the clearance aisle at HomeGoods. It looks EXACTLY like all those fake apartments/home the "stars" of Love After Lockup live in -- no personal items, no clutter, completely clean, and recently decorated. WTF with this episode. Everything seems completely FAKE. And that's saying something for this show. 

Same as some of the the places on 90DF also! Like the Vegas "home" of that poor catfished soul, Yolanda.

[ams1001]

I like that her friend is willing to help her work out. Friend seems like she has a good attitude.

But that didn't seem like much of a workout. 

[Floatingbison]

I'm going back into therapy.

[DropTheSoap]

How long after Cameo leaves does she call for pizza delivery?

[TazDevil]

that's a better wig at least.  beauty supply store instead of Party City.

[Chicklet]

Wearing a BLANKET??

[Guest]

Cameo has a $4,000 LV handbag. She should have used the money of a decent wig for her mother. 

EDIT: Is Cameo her daughter? I haven't really being paying attention!)

[umgoblue]

She's feeling good (don't know how well she did), as defined by her new wig!  Yay!!!

That crusty stove top would not pass muster in an AirBnB. That is well-aged dirt and grease.

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’m still a bit behind, but does she have the consumption? Sweet baby Jesus. Is it plague time at the first office visit or no?

[Kid]

I like Cameo!!

[Suzywriter]

She is following the diet!

In the UK, the doctors have the poundticipant go on a diet of milk only for 2 weeks to start the weight loss and break the habit of running to food for every emotion. I wonder if a liquid diet before the famous unstickably nasty NOW diet would help change eating habit. 

I love Cameo. She is brilliant. 

 

[Eldemarge]

This show goes so much faster without 20 minutes of a fatty thrown in the back of a van while crying and yelling.  It's surreal!

The Williams truly loved her!

[Concerned]

I hope she meets with Lola — the wigs together would be quite a sight.

Not to mention that she will end up pregnant again.

I think she is secretly preparing to see Lola and doesn't want to be shown up!!

Hahaha, long before I met him. But they did enjoy some modest success. He's also opened for Kool and the Gang, James Brown, Chic, and several others, as he would be very glad to tell you at any time.

It looks like a second set of sleeves...like the dress could be worn by a caterpillar.

Do whole eggs really add that many more calories?

[Hellga]

It's amazing that even at her size and her stomach size she still 'pushes' herself to finish all the food in front of her even when she somehow manages to get full...

This is the problem that so many of these people have. That healthy food can't taste good. I'm at the point where I prefer brown rice to white, whole wheat bread and I don't need to load my food up with oil or butter. Most of these people clearly never learned to cook because that can really change everything. 

I'd love for one of these homebound patients to be signed up with a service like Fresh Direct where they get everything delivered for their meals and they can learn how to prepare healthy dinners that taste a lot better than anything fast food.

[Hellga]

When she says 'a big part of me wants to change' I keep thinking that even 300 pounds of her want to change, the other 300+ pounds don't - and win.

My mom sucks her teeth and it makes me want to hurl. And kick her under the table. 
 

Im right there with you, any smacking or slurping drives me crazy.

On AWE they tour $20 million homes, but the ads are for thredup, which sells used clothing.

I don't think so.  Most poundticipants eat regular eggs.

Man, that Nordic Track commercial -- the last thing I'd want in an exercise device is some actor shouting stale motivational slogans at me. I'd lose more weight beating the crap out of the screen than I would alpine skiing.

Yes. The white is alone 30 calories. The yolk is 50, and has all of the fat in it. One yolk feeds a whole baby chicken for however long it takes to make a baby chicken.

[hookedontv]

Hahahaha 5 pounds!!!!

Interesting.  I understood it was to reduce fatty livers to allow easier access.   I guess it does both.

When he got to Boston he was in a band that was produced by the drummer from the Cars, so I got to meet them! 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Month 1- 603

Month 3-598 (5 lbs. down)

A lot of people avoid egg yolks for the cholesterol, and the calories.  I hate it when scrambled eggs or omelets separate, so Egg Beaters are better for me.  

I'm so glad she got a new wig.

They are catching all types of watchers.

Me: Eating ice cream watching M600PL (am I wrong for that?!?!?).

My friend:  On the treadmill, motivation to never gain another ounce.

[Floatingbison]

Cameo's been the highlight of the episode so far.
