S10.E08: James B's Journey LIVE CHAT

[dreadfulLeigh]

Logistically, how would the fire department even get him out of that apartment building if he had a medical emergency or died?!

[charmed1]

And this week’s Uber XXXXL is a minivan. Where are are fast food pit stops this time?

I know, I'm staying home for three days to watch for any symptoms before going to my sister's on Sat.  I've been V & B'd so I'm not too worried.

We all got tested today and will get our results tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I never go anywhere, but my husband's been working and driving Uber.

Know what family?  Don't talk to him every day and pray for him every day about his weight and then bring him a CAKE every day.

He doesn't even seem like he'd be one of the poundticipants who "get ANGRY" if their friends and family don't come running with the chips and mozzarella sticks whenever they snap their pudgy fingers.

And did you get enough for the whole class, missy?

Ive been on a few and they just do nothing for me (except give me severe headaches).

I heard of someone having thyroid problems from taking diet pills. And they say they make you jittery. I'm hyper enough.

He's taking Dr. Now cake. LOL

Road trip??? 

Oh, that's a lot of stairs.

Coming down the stairs is the road trip??  Is he going to say he is hungry once he gets to the bottom and  go to the food truck on the corner for his first meal of the trip?

[parrotlover]

The cake is on the road trip!

I'm trying to drop my covid poundage and also restarted running. It ain't easy. (But still a good 80 lbs down from my top weight.)

Sounds like you're doing awesome!!

How the hell is he going to get back up those stairs???

I suspect the stagger upstairs will take longer than the trip to Houston.   

[Lillith]

If they made it to VA in five hours they must not have stopped for fast food every 20 miles. 

[Hellga]

Of course, snacking starts as soon as they pull out...  but they made it about 5-6 hours in a day, that's not bad by pounder standards.  No fast food stops - is that because his food standards are higher, or because they didn't show them?

Aren't they all dead? 

Skimmed their wiki page; one died in 1995, one just this year (in February) and the third is apparently still with us.

[MsVixen]

Good Evening Pounders!  My eating habits (which I was doing while watching this episode from the beginning) were 1/2 of a Teriyaki Beef and Chicken bowl with fresh vegetables.

People, I have just got to say that I don't really care for this MoFo!!!!  Waking up in the morning and thinking about food;  ordering the damn food; and watching for the food!  No Fucking job or any productiveness except to think about his next meal.

How is he any different from any of the other Poundticipents?  Because he has to have Red Velvet Cake every damn day!!!!  I like Red Velvet Cake and this "person" has ruined it for me!!!

I didn't dare bring that home...it wouldn't have lasted an hour.

That breathing isn't sounding so fabulous and he's only walking. This could be a sign of trouble.

Well, he did have his whole ass cake. 

[TazDevil]

We were robbed of drive thru scenes 😭

[Twopper]

hello from the Birmingham al area---we are somewhat settled in the apartment here.  at least I finally got wifi and tv.   Plus we got new iPhones for Christmas but I still hate posting on it when the show is on.  I am just too slow.

Eating habit was pork loin, green beens, and candied yams.  Later eggnog with brandy  

we had a nice 10 day stay at a residence inn it lacked TLC.  really awful channel choices

[CrazyInAlabama]

Three days from NYC to Houston is record time.    That's 25 hours driving time.   

[aliya]

Why is his auntie or whoever she is, treating him like such a baby?

He needs a bariatric wheelchair. It's one thing to say these folks need exercise, it's another to physically burden them so much that they can't breathe/function.

Could he get out the window and jump down on one of those big mattresses? That could be dangerous. He could make a hole through the ground like a cartoon character.

Right? This is astonishing. He didn't whine for tacos after 2 hours? What show are we watching? 

[mmecorday]

He's got to be close to 800.

Thanks. It was more down....but, it was a tough time. (As it was for most.)

James' cousin is very sweet. Even if she is a cake enabler.

[parrotlover]

Please bring the cake in Dr Now’s office

[dreadfulLeigh]

His feet stick out like a penguin when he walks.

If James had a heroin addiction, would the friends and relatives be feeding him with those amounts?

Exactly......no difference except food will kill him slower.

I'm guessing 652 for wgt.

[Hellga]

Red velvet cake is apparently an amazing motivator.   NYC to Houston in 3 days is a respectable time... 

[TazDevil]

747 is my guess

[ams1001]

Poll: What's better, cold-shoulder tops or no-shoulder tops?

[sainte-chapelle]

I was eating cheetos and just put them away 

[Granny58]

Impressive that he was able to stick it out in the car and make it in 3 days.  He's impressive in many ways. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Weight? I think about 657.

[catlover79]

He's wearing all those dark, long-sleeved clothes in Houston??? 😳😳😳😳😳

[DropTheSoap]

Maybe there's no drive-thru bakeries.

[sagittarius sue]

He's rather short, I'll go with 677.

[umgoblue]

If he had a heroin addiction, he would be 150 pounds.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Weight guess…723lbs. 

[Chicklet]

690

[aliya]

720

[Hellga]

I am going to guess 681 for his weight.

[charmed1]

I’m guessing 674. I would also like to add an escalation clause of 10 pounds to my guesstimate.

[Auntie Anxiety]

636

[ams1001]

At least he's in the office unlike last week's guy.
