Well of course. Like most online for profit schools. 

And they prey on those who can least afford it. Its a scheme to get students to apply for copious amounts of aid. They don't care about students actually completing programs because its the student on the hook not the school. I worked in one of those places for a hot minute  at the beginning of my career. Its shameful.

She does but I feel like she needs to size up on that dress; I shouldn't be able to see her belly button through the fabric. She's an inny...

I think that's the current style.

ESPN has men with gorgeous bodies who wear suits that are skin tight.

Not attractive, and I wait for a button to shoot across the room.

She wouldn't be able to support him if she were wearing heels.....

How did he lose over 200 pounds before?

There have been some who claimed a big weight loss and lied.   The Catfish woman for one.

My brother got a pastor's license (or whatever it is) from the back of a magazine in the 90's. 🤣

Nowadays you can get them online. Perfectly legal. I've been thinking about it, just for braggin' rights.

I am trying a new variety of tea today.  Doomur Dullung.  Turned out really delicious!   I generally like teas from Assam best.

Based on the name alone, that sounds yummy.

Hi neighbor!

He seems very disinterested 

He's very passive. And seriously, we've all seen poundticipants like him before. They "want to change". They "don't want to die". "This is my last chance". But they don't want to change, they don't really believe they're going to die, and they don't want to give up the pizzas and tacos and ice cream.

Musa's body is stunning... but I would consider her rather overdressed for a visit to the doctor's office.  I wonder if Ontreon is going from here straight to a restaurant he wanted to try to 'say goodbye' to all the foods he is supposed to give up and eat a two month's supply of them in one fell swoop! 

I think its a cultural thing. You dress up to meet someone professional.

God is gonna provide for his weight loss.  Dr. Now: R u kidding me???

Is he Schenee's long-lost cousin? 

[Boston]

I really am taking off now.  You people KILL me.. just screaming!  I'll catch up tomorrow.  Have a great night all!  (and don't eat pizza and fries - overloaded)

Dr. Now: And I'm going to give you a copy of my book. It's a re-imagining of "50 Shades of Gray" but all the characters are overweight and have to lose 20 pounds in one munt.

The Fifty Shades of Grey diet is to put a ball gag in their mouths. 

[Chicklet]

Sure 2 protein drinks, just what the doctor didn't order.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Whew, that’s a lot of Knick knacks.

[charmed1]

That looks like Slim Fast. Is he supposed to be drinking two?!

It is horrific and the cynical way they exploit these people is a disgrace, I agree.

The Universal Life Church! Used to see their ads in Rolling Stone back in the day. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Protein shakes 🤦‍♀️

[MsVixen]

At least he's mobile.

[ams1001]

Did he just say he's drinking protein shakes that aren't on the diet because he needs to make things easier on himself?

[Kid]

He is hopeless!!

Its a look. My 32 year old and her 31 and 29 year old cousins wear sneakers with dresses . Its actually kind of cute

[Suzywriter]

Ok, I had no water packed tuna in the house, so swapped for refried beans, which cost 3 extra points, meaning that I had to give up my Popchips. WW is rough!

My secret back-up plan, should I fail at the whole corporate career thing, is to found a cult!  That's supposedly the most sure way to get rich quick in the US.  

[DropTheSoap]

"Following the diet the best way that I can" - should be a variation on bingo. Aka, "I'm doing my own diet."

I hear fail coming up.

[TazDevil]

He's one of the few of our Poundicipants that can actually drive himself to the store and get his own groceries.  Musa can tell him not to have the protein shakes, but he can just go get them himself.

and then, of course, the Momma-factor...

Edited January 13, 2022 by TazDevil

[Suzywriter]

That's a quart of protein drink!

[Chicklet]

He can't even put his shoes on. Jeeez.

[Lillith]

It's always a good sign when the person's spouse is more invested n the program than the actual poundticipant. 🙄

 

[String Theory]

So basically he's not lost any weight.  Wife is reading Dr. Now's materials more than he has?

Oh boy!

[Pepper Mostly]

"Mesa's been reading Dr. Now's materials more than I have". 

Here, my friends, is my shocked face. 

[ams1001]

I like that his friend made him pull the wagon with the weight in it.

I actually know someone  who did that so he could officiate at a wedding for a friend. Such a 60s thing.

I do dress a little nicer for my doctors appointments. For one reason, it’s one of the only places I’ve been since the pandemic. 

[sainte-chapelle]

I used to drink those carnation breakfast shakes until I realized how bad they were. I was in my early 20s, in school and working so just needing something to sip during my commute. I tried one recently and all I tasted was sugar

Is that the sound of a thundering herd of wildebeest I hear? Nope, just the sound of Ontreon's fail. 

[Hellga]

How are guys like Charles friends with guys like Ontreon?  What ground do they connect on? 

Charles is handsome! 

[String Theory]

Like his trainer friend....doesn't let him get away with any sh*t!

[Chicklet]

How can he have no butt? How is this possible?

[fonfereksglen]

The most boring exercise video .... ever.

[DropTheSoap]

I do like the training that his friend is doing. It all seems doable and practical. (E.g., standing up.)

I rock Pro-Keds  or converse with dresses in the summer--I have bright green, purple and white high-tops with metallic with stars. Winter it's skirts, leggings and LL Bean Duck Boots in shearling and hunter green.

Actually, his back butt is flat, but his front butt is huge. 

[charmed1]

After last week, I’m just grateful he’s wearing pants.

i'm guessing church.

[MsVixen]

Ontreon needs to get some good shoes to walk in.  Those slides could be dangerous.

[poeticlicensed]

The trainer is cute as a button. Can he come train me?

[fonfereksglen]

And now he is an alcoholic as well!  He knows all the code words.
