We're glad you're here! Here, have a vanilla cupcake, or a taco.

[Red Bridey]

Friends, after all the chat about fruit, I said to myself, "Self, go and get an orange." I walked into the kitchen and stood there like an idiot wondering why I was in the kitchen!

You will be relieved to know I did remember what I was doing! And I am going to peel that orange as soon as I stop typing. Right. Now.

He's like Barbara Walters. He wants her to cry.

Dr. Paradise sits in his Hobbit chair.

They actually make desk chairs in 3/4 size. My daughter is tiny, only 4'11" so I bought her one. She loves it.

Mr Lemon couldn't deal with the shower scenes. He saw the episode where they unhooked the washer on the back porch to hose down the fattie. He said he was out

Juggalo Nicole! A classic. So he didn't stick around for the sofa meatloaf, or her having her folds searched for concealed drugs by the police when her apartment was raided?

He needs to ask her what kind of a tree she would be.

[mk828]

I feel for her! That's gotta be awful.

[Pi237]

Ill never give up tacos either. But she could still eat two tacos for a meal and still lose weight. 

[babyhouseman]

 Lola would have her writing letters to her dead parents.

Didn't we figure he's around that height, too?

I honestly dont know why they don't send them to psychotherapy from the start. 

That, and put the ones who don't lose the goal weight the first month on Ozempic or something. They don't have to stay on it forever, but I think 30 days of not meeting goal shows they need some help. Dr Now used the balloon on at least 1 patient, maybe that's an option, especially since you can't stay on the balloon for too long. It might be just enough time to get them past the early dietary changes. Dr Now says that some need the surgery soon, or they're going to die. They don't have enough time left to just do a diet. However, I also think some people will never get to get to the surgery stage without some extra help.

She could even eat 2 Taco Bell tacos twice a day - and still lose weight.  Even if she went with the fried and loaded version instead of the lightest one.  She is eating way more than what she says she does. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Oh she is writing her mom a letter

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dear Dairy,

Today I want to have some ice cream and some frozen yogurt with chocolate syrup and sprinkles. I know it will help me lose weight.

No. And he also is surgery averse and back in those days there was surgery every episode. He would leave the room. Now its just blah blah blah im trying hard, why can't I lose weight, this mattress makes me look fat, aw man leg.

Ozempic could be a game changer for these patients. I wonder if Dr Now would ever prescribe it for them. 

[Red Bridey]

Jacky, the more you actually write things down, the less time you have to put a fork in your mouth. Most people can't do both at the same time!

This episode is defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Started off so good, now we are nowhere 

[mk828]

Committed to the idea of just following the instructions... 🤦‍♂️

[Hellga]

We are at 18 mins to the end.  I think she will end up losing 20 lb again, and decides that's good enough to 'do it her way' - go to therapy and the gym, occasionally try to eat less when she remembers, and lose 5-10-15 lbs per month.  What she doesn't realize is that at 10 lb per month rate it will take her several years to reach weight at which she can safety get surgery, and there is NO WAY she can sustain this effort unassisted for that long. 

[Chicklet]

Now a Chipotle commercial, mmmm

[aliya]

Off topic - I got so bored, I started roaming around YT. A plane has collided wit a police helicopter over DC.  Mass casualty event. 

[OoogleEyes]

My niece has lost about 45 lbs with Ozempic. She looks great!

And again I will have wasted two hours of my life on this shit. I need to rethink my goals.

Yes, I just saw that. A crash in the Potomac River.

Right? She needs to take up crochet or knitting or crosswords or something. Something to keep her hands busy. 

She wants to become a vet. Dear sweet tap dancing little baby Jesus. She sounds like an eight year old. "I want to be a vet, and a ballerina, and a princess"

[sainte-chapelle]

I was just watching the Menendez documentary and it shocked me when the prosecutor admitted she couldn’t find a single person to be a character witness for the parents. They were absolutely total monsters. Not condoning murder but damn.

[katycat74]

I wonder if we will ever see a surgery again at this point 

 

[OoogleEyes]

I think that I'll restart 90Day with this new group 

[Pi237]

That's one constant on these shows, the sad iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing and shredded cheese. Always drives me crazy when they have a drill sergeant nutritionist come to the house and throw all their food out, then, leave.  Although, we haven't seen one in here in a while. Penny probably had her killed.  But why not teach them how to make some yummy healthier tacos? Even pizza could be made less fattening.  It doesn't have to be all iceberg lettuce and chicken breast.

I started O for blood sugar control. It started working for me almost immediately. Weight loss was a bonus. Alas, I got pancreatitis and had to stop taking it. I do think between the weight loss and whatever magic it did to my pancreas (before it wanted to eat it), it's been easier to keep my blood glucose in check. I've been diabetic for 25 years and it was getting harder, even rotating around meds.

Not much info...I didn't see anything about a helicopter, though..

 

"In a post on X, D.C. Fire and EMS said a small aircraft in the vicinity of the airport had crashed into the Potomac River. Fireboats are currently on the scene."

[Auntie Anxiety]

Not too bad, Jacky. We’ll take it.

My last PCP offered me Ozempic a few years ago. I have managed to lose 80-90 pounds over the last few years (just by eating less, imagine that), but I've stalled in the last year or so. I'd love to lose forty more. My doc's since retired and I don't think the new guy will be game. Should have taken advantage of my opportunity.

I don't view it as wasted time.  I view it as quality time spent with my online besties!

Wow, she lost a good amount.  I am honestly surprised.  I wonder if it's a one-off or if therapy really made something 'click' for her. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Month 1-710 lbs

Month 3-689 down 21 lbs. 

Month 5-669, down 20 more lbs. 

Month 7 686 gained 17 lbs

Month 9 623 down 63 lbs. 

Month 11 surgery down 25 more lbs to 598.

I know we think its common sense but honestly I've had to teach mr lemon how to read a nutrition label. Now he gets it after I explained its just math. I think there are a lot of people like him 

[ams1001]

Surgery! At 9:52.

I just looked at the DC subreddit and a doctor has been notified of a mass casualty event. Another poster could smell burning. Lots of 1st responder activity. It was a DC police helicopter, over Reagan.

[ams1001]

Wait, they got her prepped for surgery and into the operating room without pretending they weren't sure if she lost enough weight?

[mk828]

Perhaps after a 2 week absence.. A walk in the park scene? 

[Pi237]

Woah an actual surgery. See? Give them therapy first. So, we can stop wasting an hour and a half.

[OoogleEyes]

I hope that they have an entire season devoted to seeing the ones who have had surgery 

[Hellga]

What?  A surgery at 9:53?   I hope the surgery goes well but this is weird.  I feel like something happened and they didn't have later follow-up...
