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

But surgery is magic, you know. Have surgery, lose weight. Nothing else is needed.

He is a typical poundticipant.  He thinks that the surgery is going to be magic and he will wake up from it 200 pounds of pure muscle.

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

Damn, I'm tempted to hit my Cabot bacon/cheddar cheese with some crackers.  So good!

Well I'm shocked he actually lost something

He still doesn't look like he's in any shape for surgery.  I'm not holding my breath......

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

I don't know but she has always been fuller especially in her face.

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

Those interestingly worded t-shirts sure did shield her ta-tas....

Heelllooooooo Dr. Now!!

[7EasyPayments]

HUH?!???!!!

Frying bacon in butter is like adding water to the ocean.

"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? 

And the diet will pretty much be for the rest of his life.

I live in a busy city and don’t drive. Subway stairs are brutal and I walk all the time. Sometimes living in a busy city isn’t so bad. I’d like to think I would hike etc but I get plenty of exercise just getting around the city.

Have you tried the Aldi cheddar cranberry?

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. 

I would have had more sympathy if James was actually pissed that his dad died without being a real father and not playing an active role in his life. Still not an excuse to cancel appt after appt but would be more insightful than the stupid excuse he came up with.

The one year my parents bought me an Advent calendar, I ate all the chocolates in four days.  They never bothered with one again.

Yes. Don't care. She's still cute. (Sticking with my crushes.)

I really hope this doesn't end in a black screen.

Its just an excuse.

You know what else isn't ideal? Watching this episode after last week's. 

In fact, last week's episode was a roller coaster ride compared to the doldrums I am currently experiencing.

Not yet, but I'll remember for my next ALDI  visit.

I'm now devoting commercial breaks to the National Zoo's cheetah cub cam. I need a floof break to handle this aggravation. 

I put off finishing my Xmas cards to watch this...that's OK, I'd miss not chatting with all my PT "family"....is it sad I look gorward to Wednesday nights?

[CrazyInAlabama]

I think the first few poundticipants were left over from last season.   So, I think some were pre-Covid.     

Then, the last few have been during the lockdown, or after.    Paul's episode was during masking.      I don't think Dr. Now was doing in person visits during lockdown, just remote.   Notice Dr. Now stands far back from the poundticipants, and family, and no handshakes or getting within 6 feet.  

Back in Houston at last.    Month 10 or 11?   Month 1 625, recent in NYC 543, 

Whatever Month this is, (I don't think that's Cassandra the Nurse), 506, down a total of 119. 

He's giving up I bet.   Nothing but excuses on why he can't move to Houston.

I bet that would make an awesome grilled cheese sandwich. Probably really good on a turkey sandwich with bacon too.

 

 

[Pepper Mostly]

Here we go. "I'll show Dr. Now!" Dude. Dr. Now can't want this more than you do. 

506! Wow.

[Lillith]

I'm happy for him but he does not look like he's lost 100 lbs, though he is walking a bit more easily. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Lacey was the Tiger King of this show. Very entertaining episode but I still felt awful for laughing.

[Kid]

James is losing!  Good for him.

I LOVE his cousin!

[Hellga]

Wow, two in a row?  Is he coming around?  We've had episodes before with surgery in the last 10 minutes.  

[Auntie Anxiety]

James has a lot of favorite baseball teams. I haven’t seen him wearing the same hat twice.

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. 

Ninja Foodi also looks like Darth Vader's helmet.

I, too, think she is adorable and I bet she would be a nice neighbor who always had an egg or something if you needed it.

I put off watching the "Kennedy Center Honors".

[fonfereksglen]

While the episode is rather dull, I have found comfort in the group therapy session this evening.  The holiday season can be rough for a lot of reasons.

[Crashcourse]

Cheyenne looks tacky in those booty shorts.  So unnecessary, especially on tv.

[Twopper]

til next time if there is a next time.  Hopefully, I can watch in private next time.  So he looks like a promising candidate again.

[Pepper Mostly]

He has loose ends to tie up? LIKE WHAT?? Name three things.

Most days, snarking is my only contact with the outside world.

[umgoblue]

Time Check:  6 minutes left....

No surgery.

But this is my glass half-full moment....

At least he has been weighed over the course of many munts!!

I have heard when she was married to Eddie, she could be arrogant. I hope that changed.

Maybe she would invite me in for cookies and coffee and show me her new plants!

He seems to only like the ones with letters, no mascots.

I've never been to Aldi in person but I can get it on Instacart! I suppose I will go there in person some day......

Not at all. I do, too.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Well, that was slightly disappointing. Good for him, I guess. 
 

night y’all!

[sainte-chapelle]

River from family Chantel may have a cross over episode soon if he keeps going with the weight gain.
