Season 12: Live Chat

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dr. Now is getting snarky. I love it.

[Chicklet]

He can't walk 15 steps and he's going to go outside more? 

He looks like he's going to pop.

[ams1001]

So, wait, his brother's a paid full-time caregiver to him and he has another caregiver, too?

[Hellga]

I've already started cutting out my soda.

Something tells me it is 'I am down to 2 gallons a day from 2.5 gallons!' 

[Pepper Mostly]

He's "working on cutting out soda"? Sigh. 

[ams1001]

He thinks he's gonna go to Houston just for surgery and go back to WA right away?

Don't they all think they are getting surgery to "fix" things?

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dr. Now (skeptically): We’ll see how that goes.

[sainte-chapelle]

You have done nothing …you had your brother buy a cart full of cakes for you…you are eating him out of house and home….Lord gentle Jesus

[Pepper Mostly]

He wants to be a probation officer. For "the youth". 

This man is 31 years old. Has he ever had a job?

Of course.  Dr. Now has a magic golden scalpel that will remove all the excess fat and skin AND excess appetite in one quick swipe, no diet, blood or pain involved!

[sainte-chapelle]

Methinks his sister is the one who should diet with him

[MsVixen]

Now I finally have seen what 5 by 5 really looks like! 

[OoogleEyes]

We don't even get a road trip or a weigh in. What the heck. We are really scraping the bottom of the barrel

[Auntie Anxiety]

Why do I have a feeling that Charles is just another hopeless case?

[Pepper Mostly]

The look on his face does not fill me with confidence. He looks like that stoner kid who sat in the back row in high school. 

[Hellga]

I think he was forced to work for a little bit at the fast food place when he was released from the rehab, if I understood him correctly.   But I am pretty sure that was the only honest work he's ever done.

That’s a rhetorical question, yes?

Yet that kid was always skinny!  Curioser and curioser!

Nope because his brother…who feels he owes him…will bail him out until the day he dies. I get it though, their homelife must have been rough and he wants to be kind but he is killing his brother 

[Chicklet]

I wonder what the meth-wrecked brain looks like, that could explain his demeanor and affect.

Damnit, sign me up! And I’m already in the Htown burbs! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I don't see this one getting to Houston at all.

Ozempic maybe????

[DropTheSoap]

Hey — I’m here late. My eating habit was a gyro tonight. 

I smell failure in this guy’s future. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Tonight I poured the water from my can of tuna onto my dog’s dinner of 1/2 cup of  low calorie kibble and about 3/4 cooked veggie medley (she’s partial to the California combo of carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash and broccoli). She scarfed that dinner down! See, Charles, you can make a tasty meal if you want to.

Oh a sonobello ad…I see you TLC

[babyhouseman]

It's the make your own exercise equipment show.

[Hellga]

What's in the bag?  Soda cans?

Is your dog on a diet?

[ams1001]

They used to have a Shake Weight. Which just puts a certain Garfunkel & Oats song in my head.

Why does the brother always have something on his head?

At least we didn’t have to see him with a shake weight. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Gawd, that room is depressing. 

[Chicklet]

He doesn't have a bed? How does he get off of the floor?

[LizzyB]

Oh yes--the classic battle cry of the successful Poundicipant: "I don't want to do too much of this exercise. I'd rather ease into it." That'll work.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Charles complains about not having enough food in 3….2…..1

Perhaps I am an idiot but I have put cans in a bag as DIY weight  at home. Weights are expensive !

[Red Bridey]

Easing into exercise and diet is not better than diving in, Charles. Dr Now isn't forcing you to run a marathon, dumbass.

[mmecorday]

I guess no one told him that he didn't have to put the cooked rotisserie chicken in the oven. 

[ams1001]

"So tonight we're gonna have roasted chicken on a bed of veggies."

It's like a classy restaurant!

I would actually like that. My department went out for lunch near work once several years ago and I had a salad with roast chicken and it was so good (though the salad had more than just leaves).

Yes. Vet thinks she could lose about 10 pounds. She’s lost a few pounds already, enough for me to notice. She wasn’t obese, just thick. Now I can feel her ribs and she has a waistline. 

[Pepper Mostly]

His poor brother has to stand while he eats? 

Charles. Put your fork down between bites, and chew your food, don't shovel it down like you're on a time limit.

This gives me an idea of making pupsicles for my puppy. 

Since I’m late, why is bro his indentured servant?

I do appreciate his trying to dictate terms to Dr Now. 

[sainte-chapelle]

He says he hasn’t worked out in one year…Sir…your only workout has been eating
