They think that eating food that they don't enjoy is the same as sticking to the diet plan.

[OoogleEyes]

Six months..this poor woman. 

[mmecorday]

Oh, Syreeta. It is not your fault that your baby's kidneys didn't form. Your labor pains didn't cause that. 

[Pepper Mostly]

I don't understand this. Houston has some of the best doctors and medical centers in the country. She had to go to Florida for prenatal care for a high risk pregnancy? Something is fishy.

[Suzywriter]

Lawrence looks like he's using

 

[Pi237]

Scary time to be pregnant, especially one with complications.

Possibly legal residence was FL. She may have had to stay 'in network'.

Mama Robin is a little odd.

 

They’re almost a little flirty with each other.

It certainly didn't look like they were settled into whatever that was in Texas

Oh! I hung a hummingbird feeder today. Tell your hummer friends!

Never heard of OPill...  Of course, I also didn't know that they had new medications for HIV.....

[babyhouseman]

She doesn't need the I must, I must increase my bust exercise. 

[Pi237]

I’m glad they allowed her to induce, and didn’t force her to carry to term because she wasn’t ’near Death’ enough.  

[Red Bridey]

I agree with David: being in the water is fantastic. Coming out of the water is awful!

[MsVixen]

David looks like Jared Leto with a few hundred pounds extra.

[babyhouseman]

Good night all. I hope they meet their goals. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Well peeps, another snooze fest. Your wit and wisdom keep me going. See some of you on Friday for Fun with Felons, meanwhile, finish the week strong! Love you all, peeps, MWAH!

[Red Bridey]

Night, all my lovies! Good luck to both of these people. I hope they eventually achieve their goals for the NEXT WATN.

[MsVixen]

See y'all next week, Pounders!  Still Great Snark given what we had to work with!

[mmecorday]

Goodnight, everyone! I'm usually off Wednesdays, but I worked today because I have to sit around the house tomorrow from 1 to 6 p.m. waiting on the repairman to fix our dryer. He was here last week and said it was fixed, but when I ran it this past weekend, it stopped working at the cool down cycle as it did before.

Anyone have any anecdotes? I'm bored to tears. 

I bought a bunch of herb plants and a rose bush and a hydrangea, potted them up and have the beginnings of a lovely container garden on my porch. Today I did the cook for my mother, (roasted red pepper and tomato soup, and braised lemon butter chicken with potatoes). I have had a headache all day. I blame pollen. 

What have you all been up to? @MagicEyes, have things improved since Monday? As I recall you were having a bit of a day. 

Things have not improved. This whole year hasn't been good, and on top of all of the other things I'm dealing with, I'm not sure if my boss wants to get rid of me or if she's just bonkers. I'm coping by watching a lot of comfort TV. Tonight it's the Great British Sewing Bee. I did buy an evil eye charm to put on a necklace so I can wear that at work every day. If it doesn't work, I might be living in a van by the end of the summer. 

[Eldemarge]

Hi Pounders! I'm in Houston (I have not YET visited Dr Now's Clinic!) recovering from surgery but still trying to keep up with the shows!  Should be home in 2 weeks but I have all the TV I want in my AirBnB.   Sorry I missed this session!

[Hellga]

I fell asleep before the end of the episode, so I will try to catch up tonight...  I don't think I have that much to watch.  But that's the reason I didn't say goodnight... 

[lemoncake]

Any fat chatters around? I've been MIA for a couple of weeks.Mr Lemon's mom passed at the age of 96 so we've been gone. 

[mmecorday]

I'm here! My eating habit today was a turkey and provolone sub from Jersey Mike's for lunch and a salad with lots of veggies and Olive Garden dressing for dinner. 

[babyhouseman]

i'm here.

[MsVixen]

Hi!  MsVixen reporting for duty!  Eating habits are a chicken sandwich and steamed vegetables.

So sorry about Mr. Lemon's mother! 

[lemoncake]

Oh good lord those legs

[MsVixen]

She's lying there naked?!!!  I can't Even!!!

Thanks. It was time. She had late stage dementia and has been completely bedridden for the past 7 months. Its been heart wrenching and she's in a better place now. 

[Hellga]

Ugh.  I remember teh naked PT and being very sad for these women.  But I don't remember her as a person or how she did.  Or how blobby she looked splayed there, with her legs something straight out of Elephant Man.

Eating habit tonight is Trader Joe's frozen kabobs (microwaved) and a bagged cabbage based salad.  I came home 10 mins before the show started so it was the quickest meal I could make.

[lemoncake]

I dont know who Margaret is, but she was 750 pounds? Good lord

[babyhouseman]

There's always a little dog.

[Pi237]

She's in some arrested development mentally, seems like a child.

With a mother who always treats her as a baby, she never had a chance to grow up.

[babyhouseman]

Poor Dr. P's eyes.

Same with my Mom.  She had dementia for at least 3 years.  Watching her slip away was so awful.

Margaret and her Mother are a freaking hoot!!!  Mom's a BIG ENABLER!!!

[lemoncake]

I had to do PT years ago when I broke a bone badly and had surgery. The first thing my PT guy told me was appointments with him were just a check in, that I should be doing my exercises several times a day every day. People who only do PT at their appointments progress much slower. 

 

How old is Margaret? Cut the cord mom!!

[Hellga]

Her hands are so disproportionally small against that giant body and on those huge arms.

[Pi237]

She's 35?!  God bless you, Dr. Paradise. Those two are scary.

[mmecorday]

This is "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" without Gilbert Grape.

Yep, PT teaches you what to do and checks in and adjusts appropriately, but it's on you to do the actual exercises as many times per day as they recommend, every single day.

Margaret is 35 going on 3.

You have not  been hiding your emotions too much.

Naked exercising.

[lemoncake]

Why is she lying nekkid on the bed??? 

[Pi237]

That's dog abuse. Throw a sheet on yourself!

[babyhouseman]

At least Meghan is wearing undergarments.

[MsVixen]

Watch out for the dogs!!!  If Margaret gets another hissy fit, she might start eating them for comfort!

[mmecorday]

That poor dog must have puppy PTSD.

[lemoncake]

Megan seems positively svelte next to Margaret
