S10.E07: Ryan's Journey LIVE CHAT

[LEILANI2]

He's not into playing the game anymore, he's over the con. Can't even be bothered to emote and repeat the script.

[hookedontv]

Haha he’s going to get weighed again at the same clinic, his weight won’t register again. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to tell Dr. Now he can now wash his pee pee himself. 

[umgoblue]

Taking bets:

We will go the whole episode without knowing how much a Poundticipant weighs. 

I think it will be a first.  So Ryan will go down in M600PL history.

[mmecorday]

He's too far gone. Food is his soulmate.

We’re an hour and a half into this and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

We don’t even know what he really weighs, just what he THINKS he weighs. 

My husband just said Dr. Now should close Ryan’s file and send him a bill 

[TazDevil]

Oh I hope there's another EEEEEEEE ERROR!!! reading on the scale at the local clinic...

Ok, I'm embarrassed to post this, but that's a great idea!! Like, I am trying it right now. It feels revolutionary! I'm really, really, really not kidding. This is great!

I have an aerobics step in my living room, too.

[String Theory]

He's such a bullshi*ter.  Dr. Now needs to quit wasting his time.  He's probably doing drugs with his 'friends" in Oregon.

Step away Dr. Now, help someone who wants help!

Born and raised in Stamford! Grew up in the 06902 zip code! 

Hart School, moved away to Stratford, moved back, raised kids, worked at The Stamford Advocate (next door to Purdue Pharma)  for 20 years.

[Snarkastikate]

So he stopped letting the film crew into the home?  Interesting.  This guy will not make it.  

[LEILANI2]

He was bored and housebound and for second thought it would be fun to be on tv and lose weight, then he went back to eating and has moved on. 

 

[DropTheSoap]

He said he's in Oregon now? Maybe there's a clinic with a bigger scale.

[libgirl2]

Serious, as his mother i would say get out.

[Suzywriter]

Yay! Too Large is back!
Is there a live chat?

I've been switching with weather info and must have missed some things - was his 'friend' in Oregon a catfish?  He did all that packing and didn't move to Houston?

His friend in Oregon is very ill, and this jerk says he's ignoring his friend because it would interfere with his diet journey. 

He's been packing for months.    You missed nothing, except more blaming a broken scale. 

(Yes, Too Large is on this week, and next week).

I thought I wouldn't but somehow it worked. I had lunch with a friend yesterday and I was saying "I was thinking I might get a job at someplace like Whole Foods for a few shifts a week, just for pin money but then I thought......Nah!" and we laughed and laughed. My son thinks I should get a couple of shifts at one of the local saloons where I would make a ton of money because he and all his friends would go there. But seriously the thought of bartending again gives me the vapors. 

The thought of working again period gives me the vapors.

I love mixing drinks, but I'm very slow and I HATE people waving money in my face to get my attention.

[LEILANI2]

How are they going to fill the next 20 minutes?

[umgoblue]

They could actually go to a truck weigh station...

Drive through once with him in the car.  Boot his ass out on the other side.

Then put that shit in reverse and re-weigh.

Problem solved.

Oh, I missed that!  Yeah, his cheat "meals" went to cheat "weeks".

[String Theory]

This maybe another "black screen episode" where Ryan dies before he gets help.

Wow, that ad for 1000-lb sisters-  they don't look any smaller than they did in their first season.  I stopped watching after 4-5 episodes, and this ad just reminded me why I did, and why I don't regret it.

Wait, did he say he's been ignoring a dying friend because he's on a diet??  And that's how "committed" he is?  WTF, that makes zero sense.  

Its all just an excuse. Its "there's a lot going on so I can't do the diet", a favorite in the Lame Excuses by Fatties file.

[babyhouseman]

Skinny knees with large bodies are all the rage. 

[snarkish]

Does anyone find it odd that Dr. Now uses robotic surgery technology but still keeps paper file charts?

This sounds just like me when I think about whether or not to get a dog. I miss being a dog owner, but the other hours of the day, I’m glad I don’t have to go out in horrible weather to walk one.

The supersized edition of this is Thursdays, the 23rd, 7 to 9 p.m. Central.  

I can only imagine the fascinating stuff they'll put in the bonus scenes, maybe his other food orders?  

 

What is the suoersized edition?

We've seen how busy his life is. What with sitting. Eating. Sitting more. Eating more.

I need a sugar daddy who likes short, chunky, perpetual students. I have had it with working.

It's called pre-packaged low-calorie meals.  Except people who get on Suboxone are actually trying to stop using, so they don't go running out to get Oxycontin, heroine, or whatever their previous drug of choice was.  This guy could easily have stuck to what's on a diet, but 'it's too drastic' so he just keeps eating whatever he wants.

I was a bartender for years, in the 70's and 80's. I'm fast, have a great personality and I'm cute as fuck. But I'm old now and the thought of being on my feet for hours is really alarming. 

At one place I worked there was a guy who would bang on the bar with a quarter to get my attention. I'm sure he eventually died of thirst.

This episode is giving me the creeps.  This guy is a pyschopath and I feel bad for DR NOW getting duped.

Ditto.  Retired last year after a solid 47 full-time years.  Outlived a hubby & a boyfriend so far.  Downsized & moved south.  Done working.

THe episode with usually 1-2 bonus scenes added as well as a couple tidbits in blue boxes.  Usually pretty useless things like their favorite color or something.  Bonus scenes are rarely meaningful either.

The episode with bonus scenes!!  I can't imagine what riveting footage they've left out of this episode that we should be tuning in for.

I finally quit watching it too.  Two more disgusting /depressing women who don't want to change but love being on Sharp's payroll.

In 1998, I made a deal with my husband.  Haven't worked since.  Maybe I should write a book.

I hear you. I get my grand son every now and then and that's enough. My sister baby sits a grand baby every day. I'd go nuts. 

I keep my hand in by writing. I have a journal article coming out soon and have been asked to be a regular writer for a women's website for the Church, so that's enough. I usually have to put some research in, which I like doing (retired academic), but I don't want to have to go into work everyday, or even part-time.
