S10.E08: James B's Journey LIVE CHAT

Remember you don't use the Lacey method, of frying the bacon in butter.  

I cook mine in the oven at 400 degrees. :) Frying bacon in butter leads to explosive diarrhea while on the road. #newpantsnewpants

I wish Dr. Paradise would have asked him the last time he saw/talked to his father...

Blank stare

It is poor grammar but whatever…candy cane vodka for everyone 😂 

Grammar, schmammar, it was hilarious!

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh for fucks sake, James. What the hell are you waiting for? You're not some kid. You're a grown ass man. "He gave me some insight". It has never, ever occurred to you to try to improve your situation?

Don't forget cheeeeese, with the crusty bread!

We did a virtual charcuterie workshop as a work holiday party yesterday.  I still have lots of delicious cheese in the fridge (three kinds of cheese, three kinds of meats!).  Never had 'cheddar gruyere' before - it's actually delicious, with texture more like cheddar though smoother, taste more like gruyere, though this one actually has Provence herbs in it too...   Maybe I will have some cheese later!

It is so good! Highly recommend but proceed with caution 😂 

Everything in moderation, of course😉

Besides, now I'm in my fifties it takes a couple days to recover from a hangover.......sigh!

I love cheese so much! Not as much as James though

Mangu is boiled plantains mashed with onion and garlic, mofungo is similar but fried with pork. 

Oooh, I've made mangu before! So delicious! And one of my "heart children" is Domincan, he and I have made tostones before. Yum.

Nice of TLC to work the Calibrate ads in during every commercial break. 

Calibrate rejected me!! I have the wrong insurance!

I still want the Calibrate outfits and the badass posture.

What is interesting is for 56 years i visited family in DR.  I rarely saw obese people. It was only the last few vacations when American fast food like burger King and Dunkin moved in I saw a lot fatter people.

I have a Ninja Foodi that I got last Christmas.

I've debated the Foodi, but am happy with my Instant Pot and AF. My DIL has a Foodi and it is huge when you see it in person. I don't drink coffee, but my space is taken up with a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and a Vitamix. I had to ditch the bread box & toaster.

You love James more than cheese? 🤣

[DropTheSoap]

I picked up some awesome-looking dry aged steaks for Christmas dinner. My brother will be cooking. That works for me. 

Going to a place where he saw his father once or twice.

Speak truth, Cheyenne. "You're only stopping yourself."

Park stroll and letter writing….is it 9: 59?

Enjoy every bite!

I love cheese, and my Italian American self can state, it is a healthy fat/protein.

ENJOY !

Once again, no surgery in sight and I’m pretty fucking bored at this point.

This year I scored an Aldi cheese advent calendar. I'm sad. Only two more days of cheese.

Cheyenne really tells James the truth.      I guess James doesn't know Dr. Now and Dr. Paradise share information.    

[Pepper Mostly]

Jesus, is he still blathering on about his absent, deadbeat father that he didn't have a relationship with? Shut. Up. 

[TazDevil]

Cheyenne is a saint.  James wouldn't be doing anything to help his situation if she wasn't taking charge of things.

Mangu with fried eggs.... the thing is you ate this but you ate a lot of fresh fruit, veg, seafood and meats. Moderation.

Virtually anything is improved by the addition of a fried egg.

Has anyone has surgery this season?  It's like they just used all the footage of people who were half ass and decided to just air it all this season.

[ams1001]

That is a lot of cleavage and side-cutouts for a doctor's appointment...

[TazDevil]

575

Well I'm shocked he actually lost something

Edited December 23, 2021 by TazDevil

[Suzywriter]

He has that knee thing...the malformation that makes them sort of bend in the wrong direction. He walks by kicking forward from the hip, and putting toes down first.

Right? So fucking lame. He couldn't think of anything to write because he barely knew the man and had no relationship with him. Stupid.

Should have taken off the sweatshirt, James.

How about how I miss my dad, the most awesome, generous, gentle and kind man ever.

He lost over 40 pounds for a change.  Still took a while, but at least he is moving in the right direction.  Dr. Paradise's magic touch!

Yup, I'm about over him....using his dad, who he said hadn't been in his life & now all of the sudden it's dead dad grief time excuse!

[MsVixen]

James still has more titties than his cousin.....

2 months. 15 minutes. 

This is not a good sichuashun.

[sainte-chapelle]

I love that she wore a sexy pantsuit to a Dr. Appointment 

[CrazyInAlabama]

At last a local clinic for a weigh in.    His knees really don't move do they?   

Down to 543, so 82 lbs total.       There is no way that he couldn't do this program in NYC.   

Going back to Houston, and a goal of getting down 35 lbs. in two months, and plan the move to Houston.

"Having another goal is not ideal"

Dude. You are going to continue to have weight loss goals until you get to your goal weight.

[MsVixen]

Was that Valerie Bertinelli?  If so, she's porked up a bit.

The first two or three people did... it's the last two and this one that are failing.  Though last week's non-episode takes first prize lack-of-action-wise, for all seasons.

[Pepper Mostly]

"Having another goal is not ideal"? Does he not understand that staying on the program means he has to continue to diet and lose weight?
