S10.E10: Margaret's Journey LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Margaret's life at 700 pounds is in need of a jump start. At age 35, she is a mama's girl. Now, it's time for Margaret to get out of bed, overcome her food addiction and break away from the comfort of her mother so she can finally live her life.

Hellooooooo Pounders! I am excited to share my journey with you, and I'll show you all that I'm ready to do whatever it takes.

[babyhouseman]

Hi, everyone. Hope all is well. 

[Twopper]

so eating habit was meatloaf, mashed potatoes with butter, and also tomatoes and carrots.  No dessert until after the chat

Howdy pounders!!! hope this is  a good one.   Let's snark!

[Lillith]

Evenin' fellow Pounders! My eating habit was broiled chicken thighs and cauliflower rice. I dunno, I have a feeling from the episode description this could be a live one! 

[sagittarius sue]

Howdy Pounders.  I had mediocre leftover pizza for my main meal, and I'm just doing Coke tonight.

I don't have many hopes for a 700# mama's girl!

[Pepper Mostly]

Eating habit? A green salad with some chicken and feta cheese, topped with my homemade vinaigrette. Followed by four candy cane Joe-Joes.

Hi, everyone. Hope all is well. 

 

We are fine, but our SIL just got over Covid which he thinks he got from a fellow choir member at Midnight Mass.  No one else in family got it.

[Kid]

Good evening Pounders! I hope everyone is doing well. 
750 lbs!!

Happy New Year!!  How y'all doin'? 

I had been kind of torn on what I would watch tonight -- this show or The Amazing Race.  Verizon made that decision for me by being in a contract dispute that has 86'd my access to CBS tonight.

I would have chosen this shitshow and all your fabulous snark anyway!!!

[Auntie Anxiety]

Ooof. She’s a big girl.

[CringeWatcher]

Hellllooo pounders! How y’all doin?

[poeticlicensed]

Back in town Pounders!I missed the i95 debacle by one day. Eating habits tonight was ham and cauliflower mash and the rest of my Christmas candy 

[ams1001]

Hi everyone! Eating habit was breakfast, in both senses of the term - scrambled eggs and toast but it was also basically my first actual meal of the day (at 7pm).

Found out Monday that starting next week we're going back to two days a week in the office (currently at three). So that's fun.

I made chocolate syrup over the weekend so I just made a milkshake.

This is an interesting opener...it feels like we're starting in the middle.

[sagittarius sue]

Yikes, not just 700 but 750!

[simba barracuda]

My eating habit tonight is fortune cookies

[babyhouseman]

Starts right off at the hospital.

I'll be recording TAR. I don't know, I quit about six episodes in last season. I never thought I would but everyone was so unlikeable. 

[poeticlicensed]

Are we starting mid episode? Color me confused 

[MsVixen]

Good evening Pounders!!!  Eating habits were a turkey and swiss cheese sandwich with baby vegetables.  Later on, it will be the last of Ben and Jerry's Topped Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough ice cream!!!

[Lillith]

Well this is a different type of intro. She seems happy. /s

Let's see what Margaret has in store for us, shall we? 

The name "Margaret" reminds me of a grade school nun I had, Sr Mary Margaret, and that reminds me of Cheech and Chong "Sr Mary Elephant!" "SHUT UP!"

Ah, my mind can be weird 

[simba barracuda]

This opening makes me feel like I missed the first 45 minutes

[TazDevil]

So she was brought to Dr. Now rather than having the idea to try to lose weight herself?  That's not too promising for us getting to a surgery tonight....

[sainte-chapelle]

Hi all, eating habit was perogies. What is going on? Hospital already? Dis is not a good situation 

[Brooklynista]

Starting the episode in the hospital? Well this should be good.

[Hellga]

Wow.  BMI of 129!

Hi all, Happy New Year!

Eating habit was pelmeni (Russian dumplings filled with a mix of beef, pork and onions) with sour cream and spicy mustard, with a chocolate chip cookie (unsweetened chocolate!) and half a pomegranate (aka the Fruit of Doom, eat and be consigned to the Underworld).

[7EasyPayments]

I’m taping Married at First Sight (Boston). The “experts” suck.

[babyhouseman]

Mom had gastric bypass.  Marge doesn't mince words.

Okay, and I have sour cherry lemon soda with vodka, too.

Mom had bypass but still overfeeds her daughter cuz she gets mad if she doesn't.

[Kid]

I hate this woman already!

You must stop using your wheelchair when you go to de underworld! You need to walk!

"I've had an abusive life".

"Its my comfort".

She knows all the right buzzwords.

[TazDevil]

Oh, but she's willing to do whatever she has to do!  

Wait, where have I heard that before...

[Hellga]

So, she tells Mom 'you don't love me' and that forces Mom to help her kill herself with food?  RLY? 

Also, somehow I don't think 'I am willing to do anything to lose weight' includes 'eating less'!

Shit! I knew there was something I was supposed to be recording. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Good evening, everyone. Hope you didn’t spend your time making a pot roast only to find it absolutely revolting. Thank you migraine. 
 

 

[Splashes]

Good evening pounders! I dont know what my eating habit tonight will be. Might cook myself some cod and rice. 

[Kid]

I am willing to do anything I have to do except quit eating.  Not what she said but what she meant.

Oh, noes.  I usually would be recording the Amazing race and watching this, but during the move something got messed up with Directv and we didn't get the setup with the DVR and I haven't had a chance to call them to switch it out.

Margaret Johnson, 35 years old, 750 lbs., from Houston area (transferred from a hospital that couldn't handle her 750 lbs.)

Margaret says she has been immobile for 6 months, cared for by her mother 129 BMI.    Says she was abused by father and others.

I suspect she'll be a failure. This is sad.  Two weeks later, still whining.   

Month 1 752 lbs., two weeks later 689, down 63 , and her 3 month goal is 100 lbs more.  Home health and physical therapy. 

Mom needs a dentist.   Mom had a gastric bypass years ago, with dumping syndrome, and other side effects.    

Mom wants Margaret to be looking like her, I think I'm going to puke. 

I can't stand Margaret, and I really can't stand her mother.
