My husband just said "Metro Lift better have a fork lift!" 

Metro Lift is a literal fork lift. "Come on, Margaret, get into the crate! We're going to load you into the truck now!"

[poeticlicensed]

Betting she lost 3 pounds 

[sainte-chapelle]

Lmao…afraid to skip a meal

[babyhouseman]

She eats what swims and flies?

Dr. Now has Mother Margaret's number.

After dealing with Papa Asante and Mama Sean, Dr Now has every Poundticipant’s parent’s number. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Biting side of lip, sudden interest in eye boogers, scrunched face at “we’ll be arranging transport for you today”…she’s got quite a few tells.

Just a thought but I wonder if Margaret has ever considered Spanx as an option?

 

 

I'm just trying to imagine her trying to get into Spanx and....I can't. 

[Donut Bear]

Will she wear clothes to go see Dr. Now or will she not.

Like it never occurred to her that she didn’t have to eat if she didn’t want to.

They make underwear in her size.

Check out the cheesecake factory menu. Their salads are ridiculously high in calories and fat 

They are consistently on the top of the "don't eat that" lists from the Eat This, Not That folks.

I really hate Mayim Bialik's hair in that brain supplement commercial.

Do they really think the PT and other auxiliary health folks aren't reporting back to Dr. Now?

People can be really stupid. I used to work in a temp agency and would have people make appointments and no show, then call for another appointment a month later. Like we wouldn't remember that they'd blown us off before. Or no show on an assignment then turn up again a few months later.

Oh God.... I just realized that she probably hasn't bathed in days.  Poor Dr. Now having to be in a room with that.

Did anyone else notice that despite (or maybe besides) being butt ass nekkid, Ms.Margaret was wearing lipstick?

Mama taught her as long as you wear lipstick, you're fully dressed. 

[babyhouseman]

All this lift talk makes me think of the Dirty Dancing lift and I don't think Patrick Swayze could lift her leg much less her whole body.

[CringeWatcher]

Mama is gonna run ‘n get her clothes on. 
Grateful are we.

That would be quite impossible, because she always wants to, either physiologically or psychologically, or both.

She seems to have a kind of rosy/ruddy complexion; I think maybe she just has a lot of natural color in her lips. Loathsome as she is, she has pretty nice skin* and coloring.

*on her FACE

[CrazyInAlabama]

Plot twist is Metro Lift is a crane company, or a Chinook helicopter (the one with two blades that lifts tanks).   

I'm really disliking Marget the Perennial Victim.    I betting she gained a bunch if she ever weighs in.   

So, Margaret's Mom takes her on Month 4.  Why didn't they get a U-Haul truck?

Month 1 at hospital 752, down to 685 in two weeks.

Month 4 at Dr. Now's 632.   And looks the same, even with 120 lb. loss.

I see that Daddy taught you well, Margaret. Did they say whether or not Daddy's dead or alive?

I've been eyeing that huge stand up safe and getting a Dorian Corey vibe...

I sense shenanigans with the time line.  Two months is a short time to go from nape of the neck to high pony length with the hair.

And now at Month 4, she's back to the Billie Jean King cut.  What is this tomfoolery?

I don't think she's ever not wanted to eat.

Lipstick on a pig.

Hope they stick her in a room with a window that they can open.

How can she tell it's swollen? (Yes, that's horrible of me to say.)

 

Yet it's a valid question.

[poeticlicensed]

I googled super sized underwear and this came up

I don't know if she is diabetic  or not,  but diabetics were commonly told to eat regularly,  even every 2-3 hours. When my doctor told me the other year that it was ok not to eat unless I was hungry,  it was news to me  - and I look at diabetes info all the time. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’m guessing 13lbs gain. 

[7EasyPayments]

Back that THANG up !!!!

[ams1001]

Who is this tattooed man?

[catlover79]

We're almost an hour in and we're only at Month 4? Oy.

[Kid]

So she bought herself another month! And her mother helped her do it.

[Miracle Maxie]

Wherever Daddy went, Mama’s replaced him with a really fine-looking specimen. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

My momma called back and told dr now I couldn’t come. 
 

errrmmmmm, dis not a gud sicasion.

Mama wasn't wrong. 

[TazDevil]

Millie is a piece of work.  Apparently didn't want Margaret seeing the doctor without her.

I'm guessing 700

[DropTheSoap]

I'm guessing a 20 lb loss.

[Pepper Mostly]

Weight? I guess 613

[Hellga]

Her wiggling out of the back of the van is something... 

She used to be 685, IIRC when she left the hospital - I am betting on 705

Yes! Who do they have mummified in that safe?

[simba barracuda]

Ron Howard voice: “She didn’t qualify for weight loss surgery “

[dreadfulLeigh]

Wow. Color me surprised. 

[Lillith]

Wow. I thought for sure she'd gained by the looks of her. Oh yay. More crying. 

[babyhouseman]

Nurse standing there like I'm not touching that.
