Maybe they're saving that for the Supersized episode on Thursday the 6th?

How can they "supersize" this after two hours of boredom?

Guys there is a Facebook fight on my feed…poster says that no one should comment on weight ever….someone commented saying they agree but they recently worked hard and lost 100 pounds and welcome positive comments. Poster said that feeds into the negative narrative about weight, shame on them, and weight does not equal health and they only seek validation because society is fucked up. Commentor said that their doctor said they needed to lose weight due to health issues. Another person commented saying that they are healthier now then they were when they were thin but in the same breath said they were diagnosed with diabetes and lost 40 pounds due to diet changes soooooo…..I’m just reading this thread and making popcorn like fight night.

Uncle Lucas teaching arithmetic: So, if I give you seven cookies, and I take 5, how many do you have left? 

And the kids would be all, "Like you'd share cookies with us."

[Pepper Mostly]

What? The family is going to diet with him? A first!

[sagittarius sue]

Nice to hear that his family plans on doing the diet too.

[TazDevil]

I would love it if the entire family actually did the diet together

[aliya]

You know these folks are big, but nothing shows how big they are as when they sit next to a normal, or semi-normal, sized person. Wow.

[Kid]

I think there is hope for this guy because he takes responsibility for himself. He is not blaming his family for what he eats.  How often do we see that?

Lucas: “I was a pizza delivery driver.

Dr. Now: “How unfortunate for you.”

LOL!

Dr Now is a savage.

Has anything happened yet? Wake me in case I nod off.

I think those kids have been getting their fair share of the cookies.

Nah, they often think schools are just indoctrinating kids in Marxism and pornographic books.

Or that the other heathen children will corrupt their angels.

I wonder if there are certain days in his office reserved for filming. In past seasons, there would always be others in the waiting room.

[7EasyPayments]

But, everyone understood when two slices were missing......🍕 🍕

I know I have been prone to calling boredom early and often, but seriously folks.  What a snoozefest (I actually think he might even do it) and we are 40min in and only on page 5.  It is a slow night for all involved.

They take turns sneaking out for Little Debbie brownies and fast food.

They showed 2 seconds. It would be difficult to tell the rigor from that snippet.  Most people use some kind of commercial curriculum. Some curricula are offered by the state. There are also programs  developed by religious organizations. 

I know a number of people who have home schooled over the years and taught homeschooled students as a professor in a grad program. Somehow they manage to learn to read and write.  

My son plans to homeschool his child and if I still have brain cells working, I'll probably do the teaching. In many communities, there are homeschool groups so the kids can get special enrichment classes, do sports, etc. In most cases, it's not what people think, tho I will agree that some political or fundamentalist groups do things differently.

No snark just curious…how does that work if one applies to college or university ? Is there a way to record and submit transcripts ?

Off topic, Pounders.  I see that a few of you participate in "1000 Pound Sisters" snark.  How come no one mentioned there was a live chat for that?  Monday nights could do with a pick me up!

I usually catch them on repeat so I don’t get to party in the live chat. Their show is a little too late in the evening and a little too boring and gross to keep me up that late.

[fonfereksglen]

Anyone else feel Dr. Now's AURA!

Some families say they'll do the plan. I'm reserving judgment.

Remember Shelley from Celebrity Rehab? "He's not willing to do whatever it takes. He's willing to do what he thinks it should take". I've never forgotten that. 

I loved Shelley!!!!! She spoke the truth, period. 

[LEILANI2]

This is boring but I prefer it to when they have awful feeder boyfriends or a bunch of pets they neglect.

I gave one of those to my boss for Christmas years ago, she served it as dessert at a dinner party! It was enough for something like 6 people!

Yeah, it's a lot. 40 minutes in and I still have 3 pieces left.

But my thumb hurts so I'm eating away the pain. 😛 (Never mind I was obviously going to eat it anyway.)

I posted a pic of me in a pair of pants that I made on a sewing forum. They were size 18. A poster commented 'How do make those 18s look like a size 10??" She was commenting about the fit, not my size, but the Fat Acceptance banshees showed up and began shaming that "size 10" was NOT a compliment and size shouldn't be considered or mentioned at all, and that size 18 was BEAUTIFUL, yada yada. 

Me: "Everybody here can call me a size 10! Call me a size 8 and I'll send you money!"

I got banned.

This family is not going to do the diet with him. Sis already said “my kids are gonna hate me.” Plus she wants Lucas to stay immobile so he will take care of her kids.

Oh Little Debbie and I had a tragic breakup. I'm still not over her siren song and they are so foul. But I miss her.

Why is he seeing Dr. NOW?  His sister seems to have all of the answers.  She's  got her own built in sitter why should he change?  Odd family dynamic...

She seems to oddly parent him, too. Like, he’s smart enough to school your children, maybe you don’t have to treat him like a dim witted child who needs handheld through life.

I do, too.  To be honest, I really can't handle Tammy's "love life".  Plus, she makes me think of a Beluga Whale with that forehead.

Didn't realize there was one.  I keep saying I'm not going to watch that show anymore, but if there's opportunities for group snark, I'm in!

All the fat, weight positive people are in their 20s, and not very smart.

Let them get to 45 (maybe), and their knees will smarten their dummmmmm asses up!

 Preach! YMMV

Show me Uranus!

I never liked her hat. 

[rlc]

Let’s hope he doesn’t show them Uranus.

[mk828]

Oh boy.. He's teaching Gym?

[dreadfulLeigh]

Aww, look at him doing a science/art kit with them. Hopefully he can start moving around with them so he can model healthy behavior.

NO NO JUMPING JACKS IN THE HOUSE

Wasn't that Cliff guy kicked off of Top Chef for bullying? Sheesh, Food Network

Clean house, real quality time with kids.  I hate that I don't hate this guy.

[Chicklet]

That little girl is cracking me up. This was me as a child, so uncoordinated I could knock myself out throwing a ball.

[Lima Bean]

Did ya’ll notice the kitty litter scooper hanging right next to the front door?

[charmed1]

The doggie looks like he could use some exercise too.

That's a lotta jam...is it sugar-free, do ya' think?

Off topic. I’m watching football and reading along here. But I must share: My mom gave me some raspberry chipotle jam for Christmas. Apparently she and her friend had it at some resort and now cannot live without it. BF and I were a bit skeptical at first, but it is quite good with biscuits; and, most importantly, it is *not* sugar-free 😂 

Snark on my friends! 

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh god I hope he doesn't have an episode in front of these poor kids. 

[ams1001]

Please don't let those kids have to call 911...
