Season 12: Live Chat

[MsVixen]

Good Night Pounders!  Better show tonight!

[babyhouseman]

Good night. I guess Megan had success according to her. 

[Red Bridey]

Friend Megan should just put her face in the bowl and snarf up the food. Gah, such horrible manners. I wish Megan well, seems like she's trying.

Well that was not boring! Loved hate-watching Margaret with y'all, see you on Felony Friday!

[Hellga]

Good night, everyone!  I started to doze off in the last 40 mins or so, not sure if I missed anything exciting, but I will try to catch up this weekend.  

[mmecorday]

See you all next week! I'm so excited for the weekend. My college roommate is visiting her mom who lives just 20 minutes away from my house and the three of us are going to a local vineyard for a picnic. Wish y'all could be there! 

[Eldemarge]

Good night, all!  Promise to eat better salads than that sad, sad "Chef Salad" we saw tonight? 😂

[Pi237]

These shows make dieting seem like drudgery and depressing torture. Whenever they follow the diet, they’re always eating bland chicken or a bowl of iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing on it. I wish someone would show delicious meals that fit the program but I guess they don’t exist. 
 

 

[Pepper Mostly]

Good night, my lovely peeps!

Ive definitely been enjoying Quarter Ton Teen more than this one this season.  The snark factor is low, but the teens have more life in them, and usually succeed. Plus, it's their entire process in one show. Not as drawn out. 

and it follows them for a few years. There is some great successes and it is nice to see the kids blossom.

That last episode with the dysfunctional Father and Daughter was hard to watch.  However, I'm glad that the girl was able to lose 81 pounds on her own.

That was tough. He did well and while she lost the weight, I'm not sure she can keep it up. Hopefully, therapy helps.

I order healthy take out meals from a place near me for my lunches and dinners on the night I work late. The food is delicious and it is creative! The woman who owns it made her own version of a KFC bowl. It was a smashed bake potato, shredded chicken, some corn, a light gravy and a dusting of cheese. It was delicious and nowhere near bad for you. I also get stuff poblano peppers with quinoa, tomatoes and black beans. Delicious. 

These people need to learn how to cook good food and how to eat good food when you go out. Want a salad? Get some good greens, some spinach... dressing, not ranch but a good balsamic vinagrette.

That has been my beef with this show from the beginning. Every single one of the poundticipants looks at "losing the weight" and "getting the surgery" as a means to an end, "saving my life". They consider not being able to tuck into a pizza the size of a manhole cover or three dozen chicken wings dunked in a quart of ranch as PUNISHMENT. They always moan about "never being able to eat anything good again". They glumly gnaw on overcooked chicken breast and sad, canned vegetables and never, ever seem to gain the tiniest inkling that healthy food can be delicious and satisfying and enjoyable. To them there is only "good food" (i.e. junk, fast food, or anything smothered in cheese) and "diet food", which is about as appetizing as a bushel basket full of grass clippings, and what they will be forced to endure for the rest of their lives. Not one person has expressed any interest or excitement at the thought of trying new things or seeing what alternatives there are. It makes me CRAZY.

I seem to remember at least one or two people who learned how to make delicious food but I can't remember who they were. 

[Pi237]

Anyone watch Botched Bariatric? Trying to figure out how someone who had to blend all their meals for 12 years stayed so overweight. Not being a smartass-might prove that calories in/calories out doesn’t work for everyone. I can’t imagine how awful a steak and green bean shake must taste. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

The failed poundticpants proved that eating constant high calorie meals can pack the pounds.   Look at Margaret gaining 38 lbs right after surgery.    

[Pepper Mostly]

Hola, fat chatters! How's everyone's week been? What's your eating habit? Me, salad of course. But my husband got me a lemon meringue pie for my birthday (my favorite) and I followed my healthy, delicious salad with an indecently huge slab. 

[Hellga]

Hi all!  This is the last night of the season, and I am looking forward to spending it with my favorite bunch of Wednesday chatting pals. 

Eating habit tonight will be rice.  And something.  Probably Trader Joe's frozen kabobs.  And cherries, I decided to give them a try.

[lemoncake]

Hiya pounders. Went out to eat with a friend for salad and margaritas. Ready for snark

[babyhouseman]

Hello.

[Hellga]

Wow.   This might be the biggest and most unfortunately positioned lymphedema I have ever seen on this show.

 

His top half is almost normal, just moderately obese, but his bottom half is something else.  His girlfriend should ask for a family discount.  She is well past morbid obesity herself.

[Chicklet]

Good evening everyone! I ate leftovers for dinner but let's not talk about lunch at all.

But one day with whacked eating habits won't kill me.

[Pepper Mostly]

I remember this guy, with the lymphodema that doubles as a table. Handy. 

[lemoncake]

Those sweatpants are on their last thread 

[Chicklet]

Ohh I remember him and the twin attached to his leg. And the bed in a teeny room. And his expressionless girl friend.

AND NO SHOES

[Pepper Mostly]

Dear lord, he is literally dressed in rags.

Episodes like this one make me grateful that Smell-O-Vision does not exist. 

[babyhouseman]

He must be tall.

[Eldemarge]

892!!!!  Holy HECK!

[Hellga]

I am surprised he is able to walk with that mass hanging off his leg.  There is a strong man hiding within that misshapen body.  And a handsome man, as far as I can tell from his face. 

[lemoncake]

8 effing 92. What the heck??

[mmecorday]

Hello! My eating habit was Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole made with both alredo and marinara sauces and covered in cheese. Not on de diet, but it's all I've eaten today.

[Eldemarge]

Good lord, he's dressed like a Scooby-Do villain.

Edited June 6, 2024 by Eldemarge

[sainte-chapelle]

I didn’t realize this was still,on…I forget who this is…

[Chicklet]

I mean at least get some Crocs dude. And maybe sew all the holes in your clothes together.

And he would have gotten away with being 892 pounds if it hadn't been for Dr. Now!

[Hellga]

Wow that lymphedema looks bad.  

His girlfiend leaving would be good for him.  Then he would actually stick to the diet!

[lemoncake]

When you see that huge mass growing off your leg, you don't think it might be related to your eating habits and sedentary lifestyle..

[Red Bridey]

Hello, my lovies! My eating habit hasn't started yet, not sure what's for dinner.

This guy, geez, what a mess. 892, huge lymphedema, dumped by the resentful girlfriend. Lazy and ungrateful. 

[sainte-chapelle]

His face looks normal. I think the relationship with Jessica was bad for the both of them

[CrazyInAlabama]

J.T. was always big for his age, even in his earliest photos.  (Actual first name Julius, according to Dr. Now.  

Adorable dog.   Severe lymphedema is an understatement. What is he making?  It's more calories than the pizza was.  J.T. needs a personality transplant, he's so angry.   Month 1 weight-892 lbs. Not a typo, 892.   Another one with a car breakdown.  He gets put in the hospital, and is so vicious to Jessica.  Then, he gets sent to rehab for weight loss.  Down to 758 after his hospital stay.   Good for Jessica breaking up with him, and standing up for herself.   I believe she took that adorable dog with her.   J.T. is awful at rehab, ordering food deliveries, he only lost 10 lbs since the hospital.  Who the holy h#** does J.T. think he is, talking to Dr. Now like that!

Down to 619 lbs.  Still gets surgery approval, after 10 months.

[sainte-chapelle]

You can’t help anyone who won’t help themselves…ordering in food…good Lord

[Hellga]

I think the guy is either depressed or just plain dumb.  He definitely doesn't care to lose weight or in fact do anything other than stare at the wall and eat.  

Nice to see Dr. Now being confrontational, though.  Need more of that! 

[Eldemarge]

This guy is just way too smart for this show.  Let him eat his pizzas or whatever until he explodes.

[lemoncake]

At that a dump can make you lose 10 pounds. Delivery apps. Can you imagine being in a medical facility and ordering pizza? 

[Chicklet]

He sacrificed his life. What life? He is an odd triangle shape.

[Hellga]

Sacrificing most of your life?  WHAT LIFE???   Maybe life equates to 'eating what I want whenever I want'?

Right, according to Dr.Now he should be losing weight….you know…because Dr. Now is a moron and not a weight loss surgeon who has been doing this for years

@judylo, did you want to order pizza at your rehab facility?

This guy's legs are horrific!

[Hellga]

Watching him roll up from that couch was disturbing.  This is not how a human body is supposed to move.   

[Pepper Mostly]

Those legs! I'm yelling "Ow mah laig!" on his behalf.

[Chicklet]

Oh this is a special episode with these two.

[Pepper Mostly]

"Its gonna take a lot of hard work" he drones. As he sits on a couch with a blank expression.
