S10.E04: Mike's Journey LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Mike was born with a talent for sports -- and an omnivorous appetite to match. After his football dreams were dashed by multiple concussions, he packed on over 700 pounds. Now he must find a new purpose in life to avoid succumbing to pain and regret.

Happy early Thanksgiving.

[Kid]

Happy Thanksgiving, Pounders!!! I hope this is a success story tonight.  

[7EasyPayments]

Happy Thanksgiving people!

My carb loving self love love LOVES my sister's stuffing!

Excited! LOL

Thank God I did a great workout today!

Cheers!

[Eldemarge]

Good evening, Pounders!  My frozen pizza that I will eat in bed like a sloth is almost ready!   

But I think I'll leave it until after the naked/shower/potty scene.

[MsVixen]

Happy Thanksgiving, Pounders!  Enjoy your meal and stay safe!

I'm going to be a little late with my snarky comments tonight because I'm chowing down on a Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, small fries, and mixed vegetables.

[Pepper Mostly]

Hello Pounder pals! Is everyone ready for a fun filled holiday? I just picked up our dinner from my favorite restaurant and I'll be up early to bake the rolls and a cake tomorrow. 

Eating habit? Two pieces of that high protein, low calorie bread that's mostly seeds and twigs, with a little peanut butter, and two squares of Dove chocolate.

Happy early Thanksgiving!

My pre-holiday eating habit was salmon w/teriyaki, steamed zucchini, and a small thing of Wholly Guacamole. 

[sagittarius sue]

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!  I'm sure the show tonight will encourage us to eat sensibly tomorrow...not!

[ams1001]

Hi everyone! I missed you last week!

Tonight's eating habit was pizza (half peppers & onions, half plain), after I ran out to get milk (big mistake; should have done it on my way home last night). When I was leaving for the store I decided to order a drink on the Starbucks app and realized I had enough stars for a free drink so I got a hot chocolate with caramel drizzle. Snack will be popcorn...deciding between butter and kettle corn.

[TazDevil]

What up Fat Chatters!!  How y'all doin'??

Happy Thanksgiving!!  Apple pie for tomorrow just came out of the oven.

Hmm. I'm pretty sure dat is not on de program.

[Chicklet]

Evening peoples! I had cereal for dinner, but it was not Capt. Crunch, so I think Dr Now would approve.

 

[ams1001]

Damn, guy sounds like he should be on a CPAP even when he's awake!

[Hellga]

Happy Thanksgiving eve!  I am thankful to be chatting with you guys again, my first live chat of the season!

Eating habit tonight:  2 small crabcakes, a broiled plantain and some roasted asparagus.  I may also get started on the apple pie later tonight, since I will be celebrating by myself tomorrow - who cares if I cut into the pie tonight instead of waiting for tomorrow?

Mike is a tall one, 6' 5", he's 37, from Marion OH. 

What a sad life he has now. 

His food order is so many empty calories.   That breakfast in huge. 

 102 by 6 years old, over 200 by 11, 275 by 16, 315 by 18, 

Concussions twice in one year, that's bad.  The long term injuries from football worry me.   

He's still upset about football, and depressed, and it's been almost 20 years.   530 lbs., and went to inpatient therapy in Chicago for depression, and weight loss down back to 530 (his high was about 610).   Then he got divorced by the wife.  If his kids were everything to him, then why did he quit on them?

Had to move back to his parents' basement. We are not off to a great start. 

[Chicklet]

Holy Moley that's a lot of guy for a little bed.

[Pepper Mostly]

But he does have his pink Himalayan salt lamp. 

[TazDevil]

His head is grazing the ceiling down there.

[mmecorday]

Hello! How y'all doing? My eating habit tonight was a beef burrito and a taco.

I'd like you all to meet our newest addition, Freddie Mercury! He's 7 months old and just as precious as he can be!

[Pepper Mostly]

He emerges from the basement to eat all his mother's food. 

[Lillith]

Happy Thankgiving Pounders! And we're off with a HUGE fast food order! 

[Kid]

I remember what it was like to move 210 lbs!   I cannot imagine moving 700!

[babyhouseman]

The Lumberjack slam pack. Does a lumberjack come with it?

[7EasyPayments]

737 is my guess. I hope he is DETERMINED.

Cheese on hash browns.......uh oh

[Eldemarge]

If my son thought he'd move into my basement to play video games and stuff Denny's into his face all day long, I'd put a quick stop to that.  Who is enabling this??

[Hellga]

That's breakfast enough for four people that he ordered!

[Pepper Mostly]

He doesn't have a job, how is he paying for this huge takeout order?

I love him.

[Donut Bear]

Is there a bathroom in the basement? If not, wow, he only goes upstairs once a day.

[Chicklet]

Oh, they don't even have to blur the front of him, this is not good.

[sainte-chapelle]

Mike is so…purple?

[TazDevil]

Jesus!!!  I'm petite and I hate those corner showers.  This guy has no room at all in there!!!

[ams1001]

He looks tall. I'm going 742.

[Pepper Mostly]

"I have to move around in the shower". Um, so do most of us, Tubby.

[Suzywriter]

Just skidded in.  I finished my first week in a food addiction recovery group. This addiction is no joke.

Cinnamon roll pancakes...cheese on hash browns. I nearly burst into tears. 

HI!

Behind every great poundticipant  there is a great enabler! 

[umgoblue]

Hold the bus...here I come!!

My eating habit: new Chinese restaurant...not so good, but I am no longer hungry, so there is that!

Dunno. But you'd think a lumberjack slam pack would be enough food for anyone.

All of this COVID-related food delivery is going to be the undoing of a lot of people. It's kind of sad to see, actually. 

[TazDevil]

I'll say 747.  Like the plane.

I'm guessing a bucket in the basement. I just grossed myself out of existence. 

[Twopper]

hello everyone!!

Eating habit--flounder, mac n cheese, tomatoes and 4 toll house cookies.

Son and DIL were supposed to arrive tomorrow, but were tired from being on the road for nearly 2 weeks straight including being here a few days last week when Mr Twopper came home from hospital.

He is on the mend.  I think mentally he is still processing it.  The stroke was in the area that affects speech, but he is speaking fine now.  He was a bit week from 3 days in a hospital bed, but I think the physical therapy that he was already doing is helping.   We have a lot to be thankful for.

We will defer turkey until Friday.  Tomorrow I think we will have taco soup for lunch with cornbread.  And dinner is left over ham with left over macaroni.

Now to turn on the show.
