I JUST got here and I'm sure I've missed a lot.  :(  Drat.

No not really.....

Um, I wonder if he fell in the snow who would pick him up?

He's delusional- the diet he's been he's thinks he's lost weight!

I've never liked lima beans but I like you! Glad you decided to stop lurking. 😊

[Suzywriter]

Hmmm...but does getting to 660 mean losing 40 lbs or losing 150?

Hold up. Did this dude actually just complain about the stress of working in a call center? They expected too much out of him? Try teaching virtually AND in person AT THE SAME TIME during a freaking pandemic you whiny twat! I want to smack him. 😤

end rant. 

Well, I worked in a call center for a cell phone company (now long defunct, VoiceStream Wireless if any of you had them in 2001).  Inbound calls for everything from sales to billing to minor tech support.  I can't tell you how much general assholery and abuse I got to hear.  When I switched to retail, for a good year and a half I thought everyone was awfully nice - and everyone who has ever worked retail knows that customers suck.  So a call center is no cakewalk.  Out of my training class of 20 people, only 2 stayed after 3 months (they gave everyone who lasted 3 months $450 bonus, so I quit after 3 months and 2 weeks, as soon as I got the bonus check).  And that's despite them offering full medical and dental benefits, uncommon for low-wage no educational requirements job (and they paid $3/hour more than my retail job!).

You mean the servants quarters?

[Chicklet]

I bet he's 900 pounds already, so he has no clue how much extra he has to lose to get to 650.

[Hellga]

So we know he is over 800 pounds...  the question is, is he more like 808 or 888?  

[LEILANI2]

Yea cuz 650 pounds is tiny, how dare DR NOW expects this.

[mmecorday]

He needs to go to the highway weigh station…

Or to the recycling center, like that woman on the other fatty show.

I wear flip flops until there's snow on the ground.

Is that a first? He broke the scale?

No, several of them went to clinics that couldn't weigh them this season, and last season.   I'm not sure who, but at least a couple of them.

We havent had someone bedbound on a long time.

We also havent had one thst Dr Now has time admit and place on A controlled diet. And they still gain weight because family sneaks it in. Guessing their hospital access is limited cuz of covid. Good times. Plus firefighters are fun

[Auntie Anxiety]

Poor Ryan. He doesn’t like Dr. Now’s rules. 

[LEILANI2]

He walks like Assante but not as hideous.

[ams1001]

There's nothing I can eat, anymore!!!

(Pretty sure rabbits don't eat chicken...)

5'11 & 3/4" officially......that 3/4" makes a big difference!

I'm 5'4"...and a quarter! That quarter is important.

He literally used two chairs, I don't think I've seen that before.

Dr. Now has one of those chairs in the exam room where he sees patients.  I'm not feeling good about this guy getting anywhere on this diet.

He's not following the diet perfectly...yep son, that's commitment....

[Eldemarge]

Oh here comes the bullshit and the excuses.  He's making SOME changes.  Phhfftt!  Yes eat that single stalk of celery for the cameras.  

[Chicklet]

The cat is not agreeing with your statement of more energy dude.

[LEILANI2]

Dude, you've eaten enough good food to get to 900 lbs, shut up and stop whining.

[Snarkastikate]

3 people without a job in sight. Snowed in half the year, wearing out a recliner.  No friends, no life, nothing to do, honestly why does he even want to bother losing weight for at this point?  I'm really sad & depressed on his behalf.  

[MsVixen]

Is he chewing only on a celery stick and drinking water?  

[ams1001]

March in place in your living room or something. Jeez.

[TazDevil]

a stalk of celery and a bottle of water for breakfast.  

but the vat with a straw in it is still on the table.

poor housekeeping or still drinking sodas???

[mk828]

Found an addition to my Christmas list :) 

 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Hahaha, now it’s the weather’s fault.

[DropTheSoap]

You could walk "in" the house, Ryan.

[umgoblue]

Ryan: I can't eat anything anymore, EXCEPT everything healthy that will help me lose this weight.

I think I hate him.

[hookedontv]

Poor cat. 

[LEILANI2]

God I hate this wanker.

[mmecorday]

Come one, there are lots of things that you can ad to food to give them flavor. They're called seasonings. Paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, dry mustard ...

So the weather is keeping him from making progress.

I rushed from a Zoom party for this sludge.

This is so boring, I am about to call @aliya to talk about what is happening on QVC!! 🤣

My computer was giving me problems and I had to reboot. I don't think I've missed anything. My sister has already called me about the weather, so I think she's good for tonight.

While I was doing that, the sister missionaries called to check in. I had to let it ring. It's hard to say, "I can't chat because my show is on."

This was not the episode to watch after 3.5 hours of sleep 😴

Ditto on call centers...they are awful. The customers are entitled asses, the metrics (length of calls, number of calls, number of refunds given, minutes spent in the bathroom) are a hopeless. losing battle.  I used to carry razor blades in my purse so that I always had the option of killing myself instead of clocking in.  Really.

Yeah, cry me a river, Tubby. 

When you get used to eating lots of fresh vegetables and whatnot, you do miss them if you don't have them. I ate in restaurants for two days in a row this week and was positively fainting for some salad.

I worked for 6 weeks  for our campus IT call center when we went remote in March 2020. 6 weeks of hellscape. I was a fucking volunteer and I'm faculty and students would bitch at me thinking I was just a drone. I could never do it for realz

[LEILANI2]

Let's fast forward..please..I beg you.

He’s laid off the ice chips. They were too caloric.

[DropTheSoap]

10 months total? This guy's going nowhere - regardless of the weather.

[babyhouseman]

He checked to see if the snow was still there? Did he expect it to melt in five minutes? 

[Hellga]

Ryan pulled something green out of the fridge.  Thought about it, put it back, tooksomething that is probably processed to death and high calorie.  NO wonder he is 'not perfect' about sticking to the diet.
