S09.E16: Where are They Now? Brianne and Annjeanette LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

There is much to be gained -- and lost -- for Brianne in year two of her journey, in which she both loses weight and gains independence. Getting back with Erica becomes the top priority for Annjeanette, who chooses love over even her own health.

 Brianne and her much older husband are back to let us see how much she succeeded.  Annjeanette returns without Erica; their mid show break up was part of her original story.  PPAL assumes these two were paired because they both have "ann" in their name.  That's all I've got. 😞 

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will open during the initial US East Coast showing. 

Original air date 2021.04.07

Opening early in case the automatic locks fail and I can't get out of an exciting, enthralling meeting on time.  🙂  Ah, the joys of a company in which many people (pretend to) work until 6:00 PM.  Don't they know I have very important TV viewing to do for which I watch the East Coast feed?  After all, at my last company, I often had to watch from the office which led to the great moment when one of my colleagues saw the screen shot of the female poundticipant with the hanging lymphedema that looked like an engorged ball sac.  His "what the hell is that?!?!?!?!?!" was heard across the entire floor.  My 600 Lb Life, the gift that keeps on giving!

@PrincessPurrsALot, we love knowing we are your top priority. Thank you from the bottom of my overstretched skin heart.

Hello people!

1716 calories today, had a craving for french fries, probably the first time I've had them in 3 years. LOL

Vodka and hot tea now.

Why did Brianne and her husband split? The age difference? Can't remember.😬

[SunnyBeBe]

I’ve read some stuff and can’t recalled if it aired or I read it.  I’ll wait to see how things as events unfold tonight.  This should be interesting.  

[babyhouseman]

Hello. Waiting for for my second vaccination on Tuesday. 

[aliya]

Yo, yo, my people! My eating habit was 2 non-bun burgers and a big salad earlier in the day. I might have an Atkins shake later. I am working up to getting serious about OMAD again.

I indulged in them yesterday.  They were great, piping hot, adequately salty, crispy outside and soft inside.  That should hold me for the next several months.

Howdy pounders, hope we can do as well tonight as last week.

[ams1001]

Hello hello hello!

Eating habit: Alexia sweet potato fries with ketchup. Though apparently there is a ketchup shortage so maybe I should have saved it to see if I can get anything for it. 🍟 Just did a short yoga video and now settling in with ice cream.

Googled to refresh my memory and found this...Brianne's husband Rick leaving her for ‘demon woman’ of their hometown. I don't remember enough about her to determine whether or not this is an improvement for him. I guess we shall see!

[Concerned]

I watched Brianne’s earlier episode today and when she dropped from 748 to under 400, she said it was her lowest weight in 20 years. Considering she was 31 at the time, she meant she hadn’t been under 400 since she was 11.

[ams1001]

Did not need the replay of her throwing up, thank you very much.

[Hellga]

Hi all!  Glad to be in chat again!

Eating habit today is Japanese  fried rice from Trader Joe's and some watermelon slices.  And two French cruller donuts.  Go me.

In other news, I am still on the losing end of the Boston house-buying market.  

I cannot remember Brianne at all.  I remember her mother's face but I can't remember anything else.

[umgoblue]

Hey, Pounders!  Back for another week of awesome fun!

Eating habit: chicken, hummus, zucchini chips.

[Arynm]

Oh, yes another awful mom.

[Auntie Anxiety]

My father used to call me Fat Ball when I was a little girl. I’m not 700 pounds as a result.

[Lillith]

Hi Pounders! Brianne was one of my favorite poundticipants, I hope she does well. I don't really remember Anjeanette at all. 

[OoogleEyes]

Hi everyone! My eating habit tonight was some ramen with an egg. 

I'm getting my second shot tomorrow, whoo hoo!

[babyhouseman]

Closed capitoner just called Dr. Now indistinct. 

[MsVixen]

Hiya Pounders!  How are you all doing tonight?

Before I begin the Snark, I have a question.  What is the age limit for getting bariatric surgery?  Most of the people here seem to be 40 at the most.  However, the case can be made that most morbidly obese people don't make it to 55+

Thanks!!! we were discussing on the 90DF live chat, that it would be nice to open the chat 10 minutes early just so everyone can check in and say "hello"

So hello to my people.  I am still in the dining room having indulged my eating habit of rice, mint jelly, lamb and asparagus.  I am about to nibble on Oreos.   I wanted some lime sherbet with my Oreas, but I am rather stuffed.   We had a salad at lunch with fried chicken tenders.  

Oh, it was regular jelly, not the sugar free kind.

Brianne certainly didn't have competent parents.   Her father was awful, and the mother did nothing to help. 

Brianne's relationship with the stepdaughter was so heartwarming.  

I wonder if Annjeannette still has the polka dot blankets?

I got my second Moderna last Thursday! I was feverish and achy for a day or so afterward but then just fine. Make sure you have tea and soup in the house! 

Hello Pounders! Its great to see you all. Eating habit? Yummy salad made with spring mix, some chicken and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, green beans, olives, red onion and those sweet little grape tomatoes, topped with my homemade lemon vinaigrette.  

[Auntie Anxiety]

@Hellga, have you considered Central Mass? Or Worcester?

Some, like Erica, have been in their 50s.

She crushed her girlfriend when they wrote their goals, and Annjeanette goals was to lose weight and move back with the family or origin and the girlfriend wanted to get married and have kids.

I saw maybe 5 minutes of it when her mother who hadn't seen her in eons arrived and was trying not to look shocked.  I don't really remember her.

[Suzywriter]

Hey, Pounders! I'm on call tonight, so may have to bail mid-chat. I'm crossing my fingers for 2 quiet hours to joyfully snark. 
I have no eating habit tonight. Too freakin' tired (2 jobs, 12 credits). I'm not too tired to snark, though!

[SunnyBeBe]

I should have eaten my snack before show started.  Hard to multitask with popcorn and this thread.

I am trying to stay within a reasonable driving distance to Cambridge since we will eventually start going back to the office.  I am looking within the northwestern quadrant of the 495 ring.

That's sad to hear when on TV she is saying that Rick and Kat are her whole life...

[sainte-chapelle]

Hi everyone...I kinda remember these folks. Let’s see if either are successful 

[Auntie Anxiety]

My eating habit was a small helping of Spicy Thai noodles and a few small fried spring rolls. Oh, and a Diet Coke😇

There's your typical overweight person and your morbidly obese person. There's a difference. I was in my 60's when I looked into it for diabetes. I'm plump, but they said I didn't need to lose any weight beforehand. I backed out after I learned that surgery for diabetes works best for newer diabetics or if you have the regular surgery, not the sleeve. I didn't want to get re-plumbed and it wasn't worth even getting the sleeve if I still had to take meds.

A friend's husband had to weigh 400 at least, and he used his Medicare, and her two Blue Cross plans to get the Roue Y (whatever the really radical bypass is).     My friend's view is that without the amount the insurances combined to pay, that he wouldn't have had the surgery.   Since you have to be 65 to get Medicare, he was at least 65.   

[OoogleEyes]

Anjeanette has tiny legs!

[Chicklet]

Good evening and I'm still hating one handed typing grr.

The only thing I recall about Annjeanette was that she was horrible.

One of the docs at my former workplace had it, and he was well over 55.

[Suzywriter]

Watching Annjeanette's intro. I really, really, really don't get how someone that big can have a girlfriend. I mean...well...logistics.

[Arynm]

I kinda remember both of these women, which is a good start because I usually can't remember anything.

 

[aliya]

Who's this other chick? (who had to get the surgery rescheduled) and what is her story? I don't remember her.

[Hellga]

I remember Anjeannette as being nasty, but I can't remember if she was ultimately able to lose weight or have surgery...  I assume she would have, we used to have either surgeries or complete program dropouts before this season.

[7EasyPayments]

I think that was Lola's best wig.

[umgoblue]

Flashback Wednesday:  Lola, with her hybrid Chaka Khan/Whitney Houston wig!!!!!

 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

She looks really short and round in the hospital gown. Knock her over and she'll roll. 

[Hellga]

That 'grown ass woman' conversation is the only part I remember about this cow.

[Chicklet]

I do remember Anjeanette's GF left, that's it.

What did he weigh?  Was he close to 600 pounds?

[sainte-chapelle]

Didn’t Rick have serious heart issues? He was messing around on Brianne? Really? He seemed like a nice guy from what I recall.

[PaTatertots]

Ugh, I felt so bad for Erica in Annjeanette's episode. Her goals involved both of them and AJ's were "memememe"

I love Lola. And her wig.
