"Meghan, Ashely and Vannessa are ready to let the ice thaw by taking an ice plunge; Tina faces her next challenge of getting approved for surgery; Ashely is faced with the hard truth that having a baby may be out of reach."

All of their faces when that really skinny, young PA walked into the group meeting? lol. I felt that. No one wants weight loss advice from someone who obviously won the genetic lottery. It’d be different if he said, “& she lost 100lbs through WLS”. But she looks like a model. I’d be so uncomfortable being vulnerable in front of her. Right or wrong, I’d feel uncomfortable. 
 

Im glad Vanessa mentioned the hair loss. That gets overlooked a lot on other weight loss shows. It’s a real issue, especially for women with hormonal changes.  I enjoyed her during that segment.  I liked the darker hair color but in a longer style would be great for her. 
 

I hate watching dating on tv. It’s so cringe and awkward! Vanessa’s guy was a cutie, but an obvious player.  She was a smitten kitten when he pulled that ‘caress your hair’ move. “My love language is touch” geez Vanessa, leave some room to work up to that!

Yup. Long, long ago, I did the Optifast program (fasting, with 800 calories/day in protein shakes for women) through a hospital-sponsored program. After the main fasting sequence, everyone in the program had to do a group counseling sequence for several weeks. The leader for my group was also a young, tall, skinny woman. She never told us her credentials, or at least I don’t remember her telling us any, and never claimed to have done the program or lost major weight herself.

In one of the early sessions, she talked about “understanding” what we were going through. She told us with great sincerity how she had once eaten a whole pint of ice cream one evening. The eye rolls and hostile glares were impressive, with a couple of snickers scattered about. And then she went on, telling us how she’d regrouped and moved forward from that experience. Talk about not reading the room!

Very little sharing went on in that group.

Surprised that Meghan stuck it out in the ice plunge- but she's still lazy AF. Get a job. 

Really tough for Ashely to have a baby at her age and weight, but I hope she can.

Vannessa's speed dating was cringe-worthy. 

Scott seems like a nice guy. Watching him in the buffet line after the dating was sad. He doesn't seem to be able to stop eating long enough to qualify for surgery.

I forget the other woman's name- new Tina? Good thing she isn't with Dr.Now. He would have insisted on more than a 10 pound loss.

Scott isn't Shane
