Another episode, another Meghan show.  This woman is SUCH a big baby.  It's getting hard to believe these other women are really friends with her.

[Snarkastikate]

Only reason I watch at this point is to see if Tina & her husband have the balls to send Meghan & John on their way.

Can it be any more boring that that 600 pound episode we just watch?

It was awful. 

[MsVixen]

So this is Ashely's year to be the asshole....

[sainte-chapelle]

You are t there to lie in bed Ashley…Jesus H Christ 

[SunnyBeBe]

Does Ashley always demand comfort and convenience?  If I went to a Fit Farm, I wouldn’t expect to sleep in and move throughout the day at a leisurely pace.  Lol. I wish they’d have gotten more motivated people in the cast.  

[Snarkastikate]

Bejeebus!  Nasty ass Ashley, I didn't see this behavior coming.  And I gotta agree with Meghan on this one, nope I'm not balancing on a board either & you can't make me.

That's sad, because I've always liked her. I also think even though she is currently the heaviest, I think she is probably has the best weight distribution.

That would be Vannessa this year. I would be exhausted just getting the other women to mooove. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Vannessa had fun….I never thought I would see her succeed given her attitude last season. Good for,her. Her weight distribution is terrible poor thing.

This so called "fit farm" seems so fake- the instructors aren't giving any guidance on form or how to do the exercises.  These out of shape ladies could really hurt themselves.

On 600 lb life they show them working with trainers. The workout was fairly basic and focused on form and simple cardio. They aren’t training for the military.

I will say that for a large person with a big behind, they need a bike with a larger seat.  A small seat would be painful.  
 

Asley eats fried chicken and regular coke for breakfast!  Omg, that’s just ridiculous.  Regular Coke is such a waste of your calories.  

[Ladybugnine]

They're acting like this course is set 6-10 feet from the ground.

Meg the drama Queen. She laid a hand on your back. There was no pushing  or pulling.

It has to feel like that if you are that large. A fall could be devastating.

Does meghan ever stop having hissy fits?

 

[SunnyBeBe]

Since I injured my knee, (one is diagnosed torn meniscus and the other is likely), I’m very cautious.  I re-injured it several months ago and since then, I’m super careful.  Using it is okay.  I just have to avoid twisting or straining it too much.  I doubt I would have gotten on the boards.  Benefit vs. risk analysis doesn’t cut it for me.  Lol

Yeah but it will be easy to lop that flap off & she's probably gonna look great, assuming she keeps up the great work.

She does have nice thin limbs. Not much more under-the-arm flap than we all tend to get at a certain age. 

[Snarkastikate]

Meghan wants BF to be more driven, like she is?????  🤣🤣🤣🤣  As in driven to shop, driven to hoard, driven to be content to live in your friend's basement?

Nothing would motivate me less than someone busting into my room uninvited with a bullhorn, yelling Wake Up! Wake Up!

 I’d have left that farm day one. I hate that ‘break you down to build you up’ crap. I wouldn’t have screamed at everyone, but I wouldn’t have been all rah rah we walked on the boards! woohoo! high-fiving everyone. I hate that crap. Lol

[Guest]

This show is exhausting.

I so agree that it would be much more interesting with tailored exercise programs, cooking demos, and fashions/makeup to improve morale. 

Balancing on wooden planks, bullhorns and screaming sessions doesn’t cut it for me. 

Next week…riding a bull. Really?  I guess I’m not sophisticated enough for this program. 

The Learning Channel.  Yeah. Right. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

A long time ago I had an exercise bike with a much wider seat, and it was comfortable.   I don't know why they expected the women to fit on those bicycles with the tiny seats, and do a spin class.   Breakfast looked disgusting.    The boards course was bizarre, and dangerous for the women.     One fall and it could be life threatening.   Those boards weren't strong enough and wide enough to support the women.     That showed me that the Fit Farm was a terrible idea.     Vannessa was trying to encourage Meghan, not hurt her.   Ashely did very good on the board course.   Meghan just has to be the center of attention, and she'll do anything be the star of the show.

He’s the co-founder of Uqora, a supplement that’s supposed to prevent bladder infections. He and his wife are on the commercials talking about how she had several UTIs last year. This led people on the 90 Days and 600 Lb Life live chats to suspect that Spencer's hygiene might be a little, shall we say, lacking.

Like magemaud said, the co-founder of Uqora,  and the ads are shown many times during shows like this. It is dirty "dick" Spencer, hence the frequent bladder infections.

[Kid]

OMG!!!!  Meghan had a splinter!!!  Call the paramedics!!!  Stat!!!

[Pi237]

Vanessa has such thin legs, what a relief it’ll be for her to get that stomach cut off!  And I nearly missed her say someone pushed her off a balance beam and she was in a hip to ankle cast, in hospital for a year? Damn!   Her attitude is 180 from the first time we saw her. She’s really motivated.  I can see how her digs can sting different now that she’s the thinnest, but Megan is too resentful of her success.

[SunnyBeBe]

I wonder why these shows rely on such extreme programs.  I guess they think it’s entertaining.  I looked into this place to see if it’s for real.  They are near Atlanta, right?  I found this.  Does the lady on the website look familiar?

It’s definitely the second option. The first looks quite luxurious and probably more what the women had in mind when they booked a retreat. Rustic #2 was the reality.

Meahan so freaking whiney, ugh she is exhausting. I agree with @PsychoKlown that it should have been tailored more for low impact training and cooking healthy rather then this. Ashely disappointed me this week. I seem to remember this fit farm on an episode of skanky mama June.

Still laughing at dirty d*ck Spencer - you all made my day!

I was happy to see each of the ladies break through at some level, but yes, that "coach" couldn't have been more annoying.  I'm surprised she hasn't gotten that bullhorn shoved down her throat several times by now. 

[JunkFoodTV]

I rather loved Megan's striped shorts straight from the Richard Simon's collection.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Nothing about the fitness farm was safe for the four women to do.   I'm really surprised no one was seriously injured, or ended up in the hospital.   

[Pi237]

Low impact is all they should be doing for now. That kind of weight slamming down on their ankles and knees is a recipe for disaster. They did do some low impact stuff, the walking, bike, pulley weights. It was just too much all at once. The point is to make exercise something you can motivate yourself to do even if you hate it. Not make it so painful and humiliating that you despise every second of it. But this is tv. They always have to 'Biggest Loser' the hell out of all the obese people just for daring to exist.

[albarino]

I was surprised about several things this episode (and last).  First, they are all on a weight loss journey and they had a hard time walking half a mile?  That is only two times around a track.  I could better understand it if they had current mobility issues but it looks like they don't other than mobility avoidance.

Second, were they really surprised by the meals and portions?  I thought they might have been (but I'm not going back to re-watch); shouldn't this be standard patient education both pre- and post-surgery?

Third, I was mortified watching the spin class.  I ride bikes and sometimes narrow saddles (where weight rests on "sit bones") can be more comfortable than wider saddles.  But I was really worried about their thighs and them rubbing together.  That was not a good cardio option.  The balance board obstacle course seemed way too dangerous to me.  I think a fall could result in a very serious injury.

I really hope they all succeed.

Definitely not safe. I want to be inspired by and not scared for people.

I have a feeling many of us would like to see the healthy cooking episode.  Also how to exercise safely.

[suev3333]

I still like Vanessa and her attitude.   Ashley ? Not so much ..  she showed her true colors in this episode.  It's not flattering.                              Edit:   ok   I fishished watching all of the episode.... I guess everyone had attitude tonight ☺️

Right she tells Proctor she wants to lose weight and he recommends this place.  Did she think the calories would melt off while she lounged on the patio?

Coke Zero is much closer to the real thing.

Vanessa's face is looking so much better.  I hope she can get some dental work in the near future.

[MsVixen]

Vannessa has a waist line!  Impressive!!!  I really hope that she loses enough weight to get skin removal surgery (which I hope would be televised).
