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

This is what I always thing. I was healthy as a fat 20/30-something. Eventually, that changed...so I changed.

I can't think that Dr. Now's exercise program is that taxing...does it cut into his gaming too much?

[TazDevil]

We're going to see an actual heart attack in progress.  Not like that fake one that that one woman tried to pull.  (can't remember her name)

Her name was Dumbass, I think.

[mmecorday]

Did anyone else noticed a kitty litter scoop hanging up beside the plants outside the house?

I have to admit, he's easily one of the more likable poundticipants so far this season. 

[Pepper Mostly]

So, he's setting the stage to blame his sister when things inevitably go south. 

[ams1001]

Sister worried she's gonna need a new babysitter/teacher...

[LEILANI2]

He doesn't look like he's lost anything.

It’s a low bar. 

[Lillith]

Holy crap! A properly proportioned salad not drenched in ranch dressing!! 

 

[umgoblue]

New stove! I have high hopes for future of healthy home cooked meals!

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

The state requires a report each year showing the number of hours of class time, subjects covered, etc. Tho some schools have stopped requiring the SAT & ACT, good scores on those exams show that material was covered adequately.  Many homeschoolers have life experiences such as going on year-long missions or traveling with parents, living overseas, etc. that colleges take into consideration.

[Lima Bean]

Sister looks jealous. Foreshadowing?

[Chicklet]

Eating is that exhausting? Damn salad.

[String Theory]

Right......she's worried she's losing her "Home School Teacher?!........Something's rotten in Megantown.  Can you say sabotage?

I don't see much change.....

[Suzywriter]

Hmm. Sister sounds super resentful. Her constant instruction would drive anybody nuts.

I thought I saw a Cheekbone.....

[babyhouseman]

Maybe he will teach the kids to call 911. 

Maybe she can find some other fat homebound person to teach them? Put an ad on Craigslist.

[TazDevil]

What are those socks??

[umgoblue]

She's waxing poetic in veiled compliments about how she is going to lose her free teacher and babysitter.  I wonder what she thinks about the scene as she is watching it with us.

[Pepper Mostly]

Has he lost weight? Maybe 25 pounds, tops. I bet he's cheated. 

[DropTheSoap]

The compression socks look painful.

[Kid]

He did it!!

I don't know.  My SIL was homeschooled and has a PhD.  the people I know who are home schooling are very intelligent and believe in giving their children a great education.  It wasn't common when ours were in school or I might have done it instead of sending them to parochial and private schools since the public school they were zoned for wasn't that great in our opinion.  I could have saved beaucoup $$$$$ per year.  I have a friend who teaches music and a lot of times we discuss what a school would look like if we could design  the curricum 

[charmed1]

Sister’s car looks like an older Honda CRV. Those aren’t incredibly big and he can fit in the back without screaming so he’s doing better than most.

[ams1001]

It's always room 5...do they just keep the cameras set up in there permanently?

[Pepper Mostly]

They always say "room number five". Its sounds so ominous.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Sister looks like she might have lost an ounce or two.

[hookedontv]

What’s with the sister’s sunglassss? Hiding her eyes green with envy?

They are in their 40s and in massive denial. The girl who posted has many back issues and i remember barely made it when we walked 15 min and up 2 flights of stairs to a restaurant. Like, I don’t care about your weight but don’t pretend that it isn’t affecting your health. If you smoke a pack a day and tell me it doesn’t affect your health then you are full of shit.

I;d start worrying she might sabotage him.

She may have lost a few pounds so she's feeling cute.

I have a friend who is doing haphazard homeschooling. The standards are abominably low, and the kids have the social skills of jackals. I really like this person, too. 

It depends on the state. There are many opportunities for homeschooled kids to socialize with others. They don't have to be barbarians. Also, for those who go to church, there are church activities, Sunday school, etc. They aren't growing up in a cave.

[umgoblue]

Did Dr. Now say he should have lost 90 pounds in one munt?

[Pepper Mostly]

He sneaks out for pizzas and Mcdonald's, he must be. 

[Eldemarge]

I'm heeeere! I was at the gym.  I don't know what's going on, but I'll pretend. Lemme guess:  he did his own version of the Diet??

I’m guessing compression socks.

I have to wear them when I fly, they are super painful and I am not overweight so they must hurt even more for folks who are larger.

[Suzywriter]

Compression for edema. 

[LEILANI2]

They did the 1200 calorie..then they had seconds.

Yes, some of them educate quite well, particularly ones that have a homeschooling coop so that they do things together, field trips, etc.

Have these shows been getting more and more boring or is it just me?

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.

My guess is the 'boyfriends' are all paid to appear.   

 

[aliya]

It looks like Dr Now just got his hair done. It's looking very dark.
