5 arm swings is a workout to these folks. I wish

[Auntie Anxiety]

My knees are killing me, just watching him walk.

[MagicEyes]

He can walk, outside, with no help. Why is this man even on this show? 

[Chicklet]

His breathing is horrible even though he doesn't weigh as much as some of the previous people.

And imagine loving pizza and tacos and soda SO MUCH that you won't give them up, even faced with that pain and discomfort. That's dedication. 

 

He probably actually does experience pain lessening from soda and food.  Euphoria from food - endorphins - endorphins act on opioid receptors - analgesia.  Plus while he is thinking about the food, he isn't thinking about the pain.

He shaved his head?  Wow.  But changing one's hair often is the first sign of a person coming out (or into, to be fair) of a depression.

God, his breathing. 😟

I feel bad for his poor shoes.

[lemoncake]

No ranch!! Its not on the list!

[ams1001]

I'm trying to do my best...and I'm trying to do the diet too.

[mmecorday]

He's confusing his mom with Uber Eats. 

[magemaud]

I don’t think chicken salad with ranch is in the book 

[MagicEyes]

Two walks in one day?! What show are we watching?

[LizzyB]

I see that William has multiple crosses on the wall--I have seen this on quite a few shows lately. Is this a new decorating trend--anyone know?  Haven't seen it in real life up here in New England.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh here we go. "Working out makes me hungry". 

Salad. Oh, chicken salad. With ranch. And maybe a side of onion rings. And a dozen Twinkies. Thanks mom.

So he decided he needed a whole new look. So he decided to look like Curly Howard. 

It's an improvement!

[CSunshine76]

I need him to remove the plastic wrap from that tiny lamp shade beside his head. Yep, that’s what is driving me nuts, 😂.

[lemoncake]

Its got wonton strips and dousing in ranch. Um no

[Hellga]

When he said 'Salad' I knew there had to be a catch.  Ranch dressing it is.  Is it also made with fraaahd chicken, I wonder???

[Pepper Mostly]

"It's hard to feel full on his portion sizes." Dude. You're dieting. You're going to feel less than stuffed MOST OF THE TIME

And where’s the pet hair and hoarding? 

[magemaud]

I wish my hair grew that fast 

[Suzywriter]

The back of his head has a smile.

[ams1001]

Now hair and a longer beard...how much time are we covering?

[lemoncake]

This guy is king of bad decisions. Working in a fast food restaurant. Ugh 

[MsVixen]

He's working?!!!

It's official, Poundticipants.  We are in an alternate universe!!!

I was wondering the same

[Pepper Mostly]

Is he leaving work with a big sack o' fried goodness? 

[Hellga]

Is it that infamous PF CHang's salad with 2800 calories?  

I think he will have gained.  He will think that his itty bitty exercise is equivalent of an Olympic athlete's workout and is entitled to eat like Michael Phelps.

Plus, working around fast food all day and getting employee deals.. will he be able to resist? 

[Chicklet]

Nobody looks much smaller.

not sure if it’s a step up or down from Home Goods word art.

[Bella2]

570 pounds is my guess

560 pounds is dads guess

A poundticipant working at a fast food joint? That has to be a first!

[babyhouseman]

I do commend him for working unlike other patients, but there's so much temptation. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Momma doesn't look like she's lost an ounce, for what that's worth. 

[Hellga]

He is supposed to be 520-something, I think he is 580 at best.

I think he shaved right after his first appointment with Dr. Now and he’s back for his two month weigh in. Ooops three months.

Usually its "I had a job at a fast food restaurant, but I got too big and had to quit"

I think the bag was Chik Fil A. Im guessing the southwest chicken salad and those were dorito strips. 

[ams1001]

On the one hand, working there keeps him moving, which is good. On the other hand, even easier to get junk food. Don't know what the job market would be in Round Rock, TX, though, so it might be his best option.

A job that keeps him on his feet is a good thing, though. I remember Lonnie working as a hairdresser even at his heaviest, which probably helped him a lot (also he's tall which helps him carry it a little better). If nothing else, it helps maintain some muscle.

[Pepper Mostly]

Hidden Valley Ranch is a sponsor of M600PL? That's it. I'm dead.

She actually looks bigger. Remember when the successful families all got on the scale?

Chik Fil-a and all those crosses. Makes sense

[lemoncake]

For hims? For hers? I dont get it

[Auntie Anxiety]

Oops. Maybe that job at the fast food place isn’t such a great idea after all.

[mk828]

Did anyone happen to see Dr. Now's IG Live?? He had a meet and greet last weekend! I was so jealous!

[ams1001]

I missed the number again, but no, Dr. Now isn't including what you lost before you first came to see him.
