I bet Dr. Now loves visual aids!

‘Who do you with you today?”

“My cousin, my brother and my cake.”

[parrotlover]

When he goes home to start the diet he will probably switch to carrot cake because it’s got a vegetable in it, so much healthier than Red Velvet.

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

I don't like either of them.....bad fashion decision either way.

[Suzywriter]

James' intro blurb says he loves rich Hatian food. Now I want to know what that is all about. I have never had Haitian food, but I was mesmerized at the word 'rich'. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

James seems to have a wee bit more self-awareness than some of the other poundicipants, but Dr. Now will soon be dealing with that.

Maybe there's no drive-thru bakeries.

What about donut shops?    Though it's easy enough to just buy a cake in the morning or the evening before and just nibble on it all day until it's gone.  Don't want to think of the state of car where non-stop cake consumption is occurring, though.

DEAD, again. I'm just a ghost. 

[Twopper]

I would have been 60 pounds over on the weight guess

[ams1001]

625...he was close..

[DropTheSoap]

I was only off by 100ish lbs.

[Chicklet]

She looks like she's wearing paste on her eyelids, or correction fluid.

[Hellga]

625.  Positively svelte by this show's standards.  He must not be very tall...  and he is very... square-ish? 

[Pepper Mostly]

Come on James. Give us one "Ow my leg!" 

[sainte-chapelle]

Those crocs are a crime against humanity 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Red velvet cake. Red velvet cake is how he got to this point.

More spherical.

Very late 90s

[Hellga]

- How did you get to this point?

- Eating.

[TazDevil]

"They can deliver salads"

Touche, Dr. Now.

[7EasyPayments]

Hello people!

Meatball sandwich with Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Great workout, will think about calories 12/25/21.

7 fishes, y'all!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Pepper Mostly]

 "They can deliver salads". Never change, Dr. Now. 

[Chicklet]

Hey he's being more honest than most people, so I'll give him a little credit.

[Suzywriter]

He walks like his hips are shot, and his ankles don't bend. 

[TazDevil]

"Whatever it takes"

.... except for not eating an entire red velvet cake every day...

I was eating cheetos and just put them away 

Cheetos are my crack cochise!  Can't have them in the house.

Is Dr. Now's scale broken?

It would be worse if he stuffed his feet into some UGGS...

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dr. Now gives James the smackdown. Sharon makes an appearance next time, when James hasn’t lost any weight.

"I want to do whatever it takes."  Except start eating better in NYC before you get to Houston. 

[Hellga]

I am depressed because I eat so I eat.  Endless recursion.

Infinity diet, modeled on the infinity mirror.

[umgoblue]

Dr. Now:  How did you get to 625#?

James: (deadpans)... Eating. 

UMGOBLUE (paraphrasing his next comment):  I can't cook, so all these folks are enabling me, including bringing me an entire cake...EVERYDAY!

Dr. Now: Have salads delivered, Mofo.

That is way too close to how I have spent the last month.

Or eating better so he can stay in the same damn state at his girlfriend. Pfft. 

[Chicklet]

Those salads better not have grapes in them.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I like the scale the Bariatric doctor in Kentucky uses, it weighs up to a substantial amount, and it's flat on the floor, so no steps up.  

James B.

NYC to Houston in 3 days.

Month 1-625   Dr. Now's goal, lose 80 in 2 months, 104 BMI

(I really thought he weighed at least 675)

[Eldemarge]

My friend just offered her very nice Brooklyn apartment to me to stay in next year when she goes on her sabbatical and I have the option to work remote.  My FIRST thought was all the awesome bagels I will have access to.  This could either be awesome or a terrible mistake.

[hookedontv]

I am caught up now with a FF here and there. 
My eating habit tonight is a salad. And it was delivered. Dr. Now speaks the truth. 

[Hellga]

His flat unenthusiastic OK's suggest he is either not giving up cake, or thinking red velvet cake is 100% protein.

[Suzywriter]

How long does it take him to climb that 5 flights to his apartment? That climb has probably saved his mobility and his life.

That sounds like fun!!

[sainte-chapelle]

Hubby and I do deep fried meat fondue with salad. Since I fry little pieces of unbreaded meat  I find I eat much less than normal 

[umgoblue]

Exercise everyday....

Someone go get him exercise equipment: 

One Super Big Gulp, please!

I don't think he ever leaves his apartment.  He gets all his meals delivered and his brother does his grocery shopping.

You are an optimist.  I think he makes that climb a couple times a year at most.  He gets everything delivered and family helps with household stuff...

Take the apartment.

You have the willpower.

Believe.

[umgoblue]

Finally a support person who has proper manners when interacting with Dr. Now.

[ams1001]

"I gotta break up with cake."

[TazDevil]

If he just stopped eating an entire red velvet cake every day, he'd probably lose the 80 pounds no problem.

[Auntie Anxiety]

I’m fixated on James getting back up those five flights of stairs.

[LEILANI2]

How does he afford all that delivery, his breakfast alone was an easy $100 and that velvet cake every day can't be cheap.
