McDs has apple fritters?

[dreadfulLeigh]

My husband: if I was his friend, I’d just say ‘hey, let’s just turn around, save our money for a hotel room and start aging tomorrow’.” 😂

OMG they just did an hour and half.  

Okay, hear me out:  A giant van with a COUCH.  Then they could drive the poundticipants to Texas w/o them complaining.  Just toss them bags of fast food every hour.

BRILLIANT!

Do none of these people know how to say "please" or "thank you" when ordering food? 

I said please to an automated phone call instead of "yes" and  it didn't understand.

[Hellga]

The obligatory fast food stop...  wonder how many they didn't show?   Though since it's his friend and not his MOm driving, they probably haven't made too many. 

AND a baker's dozen of cookies on top of chocolate shake?  With an already three-person meal?  And he *almost* forgot the apple fritter.   Enough desserts for a frigging soccer team.

I’m thin but have circulation issues….for some reason being in a car makes my feet swell but I can sit at my desk and work without issues

Drive for 1 1/2 hrs, ready to eat and call it a day. Cheesus Crisps. 

At this rate it's going to take a month to get to Houston.

I see a "medical" problem coming on...

[umgoblue]

Finally a legit 'aw mah lay-egs' and he didn't even say it.

His legs looked awful.  I actually felt bad for him.

[PA SweetPea]

I know I'll sound like a cold hearted b*tch, but I'm really sick of these folk laying blame for their morbid obesity on a disturbing/traumatic event when they've clearly been severely or morbidly obese long before. "My parents were morbidly obese, I've been overweight since I was a toddler, my mom liked to cook and feed us, I liked to eat a lot and I was twice the size of a normal 11 year old, but it was this one thing a year later that made me turn to food". Jesus tap-dancing christ, people! And to sound extra cold-hearted, I take everything the poundticipants say with a ginormous grain of salt and don't necessarily believe every tale of tragedy and woe. (In general, no specific 600 pounder) Ok, give my drawers an extra dip in gasoline before my trip to hell.  

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, the poor dear. He's in terrible, terrible pain. So painful. Pain. 

[Suzywriter]

There is something very eerie about the mothers who are so intent about grown children's  leg and foot care. Shudder. 

[Lesia]

Jesus, I got a Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal last week and it was $12. That meal must've been over $100!!

They are very good.

[Twopper]

I may sneak off to the counting ON  forum to see how the Josh Duggar trial went today

[Auntie Anxiety]

He said he might have bitten off more than he can chew. Irony is alive and well.

Right???  That was my takeaway from that scene of him shoving everything into his mouth.

[babyhouseman]

He said he hit a wall and couldn't travel anymore. Poor wall.

Less space. No room to stretch a little to prevent muscle cramps. Less padding in the seat. Even as a "normal" sized person, I'd rather sit in my house all day than go on an 8 hour car ride. The older I get, the more I find that my legs, especially, get stiff and sore if I sit still too long.

It's harder for them to change position, even if it's just a little, in the car. There's not enough room. At home, tho they look immobile to us, they are actually moving a bit to go to the bathroom or even a bedside commode, some can walk to the kitchen, etc. There's a little movement, and that helps when they get uncomfortable. They can barely fit in most cars.

And yet he has never hit a wall and couldn't eat any more. Priorities.

Nope, I'm with ya on this one. I have a relative who blames EVERYTHING on being molested. Everything.  I have a LOT of compassion for survivors, but none for whiners who don't do anything to HEAL. 

[LEILANI2]

I can't get over the fact they only drove an hour and a half. WTF

Ya gotta propel the car with your feet, ya know, like Fred Flintstone. 😄

I succumbed to the call of the Pepperidge Farm Chesapeake chocolate chip cookies. (Yes, I know I shouldn't have bought them if I shouldn't be eating them!)  I justified that it was OK b/c I just had a Lean Cusine Mac & Cheese for dinner.

You are my spirit sibling! I have Double Chocolate Milanos!!!

 

I just bought Double Milk Chocolate Milanos yesterday! (I debated between them and Brussels but I was good and only bought one.)

[Suzywriter]

The handbells are the best!!

[mk828]

I've always wondered how they choose which camera guys get stuck in the car on the way to Houston rather than being in the car that follows close behind. The one last week must have earned a monster raise!

I think there's also a difference between long term sexual abuse and some weirdo flashing his willie at you once. We had a flasher in my town years ago. He would target groups of kids at bus stops. Using the logic by some of these folks they should all be obese because they got flashed.

A TO THE MEN, Sister!!!!  Quite frankly, I think you have to be 700+ pounds to get on this show if you haven't been molested.  If you have been molested, you can get on it weighing 500+.  

 

[ams1001]

No, Paul, you are not starving.

[Kid]

He’s starving!!!🤣🤣🤣
 

If he’s acting like this now, how the hell is he going to act when he’s actually on a diet.

Edited December 9, 2021 by Kid

[Eldemarge]

I can't do soda for breakfast.  I don't know why I'm surprised he doesn't have a normal breakfast meal...

[CrazyInAlabama]

No mask on any of them, right in front of a sign saying "face masks required".

JJ and Mom are such enablers.  JJ is being logical, but Paul doesn't have a clue, and just wants an excuse to miss his appointment.  

 

[TazDevil]

Imagine if it was Sharon instead of JJ right now...

[Chicklet]

Oh he's so ready to lose weight lol.

[sainte-chapelle]

That is a small meal for Paul

[mmecorday]

I think it's funny that you very rarely see the people on this show drink coffee with their meals.

[babyhouseman]

She said she couldn't wake him up. Try a stun gun.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Has Dr. Now put Sharon on the payroll yet?

[fonfereksglen]

Apparently I'm the only senior citizen here that still enjoys sex!

[Suzywriter]

He missed hotel breakfast, and the breakfast room is cleaned....so he slept until 11 at least. 
Mama should have lured him to the car with the food. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, he needs a snack before he goes to his execution--oops, doctor's appointment.

JJ: "Come on, Paul, lets get going."

Paul: "pass the butter, pass the cream, pas the bacon, mmph oof mmmmmm"

[LEILANI2]

This guy is motivated to be a garbage disposal.

This lady should say screw this and dump him at a gas station like they did to Lacey.

[PureMantis]

Oh man, JJ's a real one. I really hope that Paul can get his shit together just for the sake of his best friend.

[sainte-chapelle]

Ohhh so the girlfriend had the surgery. She wants to help him and likely has very low self esteem

You remind me of our episode when I was around 10 years old.  I'm from the deep South during Segregation.  Our stalker, an old white man, only targeted young black children.  He hit on me and I went into the store until he left.  None of my friends or I hit the 600 pound mark.

[Lillith]

Now see, this is how you tell someone the truth  with tough love, and without stealing their stuff and abandoning them at a truck stop!

I can’t do soda at all, but for breakfast seems especially heinous. I had someone tell me they didn’t drink coffee, but they had their soda for caffeine in the morning 🤮 

[poeticlicensed]

My tv flipped out and just came back. Is he gorging himself on that awful hotel breakfast??
