It’s a brutal 20 degrees her in NYC tonight. 

I live about an hour from our Auntie!

My eating habit is I had some Biscoff cookies today. Yum. 

My favorite! I might take a break from those for a little while and eat some Girl Scout cookies. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Forgot to mention the Kirkland sheepskin slippers.

[Chicklet]

We were cheated out of a long drive with food stops, hotel stops and lots of whining.

[Red Bridey]

It's cold here in Vermont too. I am in my lycra tights and fleece-lined windbreak pants, a long sleeved shirt and a zippered pullover, with my favorite merino wool Darn Tough socks and LL Bean fleece-lined bootie slippers AND I have the heat cranked up to 71° AND my lovely furry cat on my lap.

18 here in MA right now, 2 with windchill and expected to get worse.  I keep my house at 67 but the thermostat is upstairs (it's stupidly one zone) so it's 64 downstairs and I have turned on an electric space heater so I can watch TV in my living room and not freeze.

Do they ever talk about anything other than the food when they are eating breakfast/lunch/dinner? There’s a whole world out there!

Food is their whole world. Except for the kids, of course. She loves them more than anything.

[EtheltoTillie]

That brother in law seems to be several steps short of a full flight.

It's a balmy 24 degrees here but the wind has been KILLER. At least the sun finally came out. It's been so gloomy!

Was in the 20s here today, too, and walking up the sidewalk at work felt like a wind tunnel. And the badge scanner isn't working so either the receptionist has to let us in or we have to buzz and security will unlock the door remotely if no one's at the front desk yet. Luckily today she was straightening up the little coffee cart in the lobby which is near the door so she saw me coming and just ran over and opened the door as I walked up.

(It also means the gym is closed until they get it fixed. Apparently it's a software issue and I think this is the third week of this.)

 

 

"I've been working hard the past few weeks to get under 600 pounds."

592!

Well, she’s under 600 pounds so I guess she really doesn’t need Dr. Now’s instructions.

I wonder what would happen if a child came between them and their food.

Film maker: Who do you think should play you in a biopic?

Robbie Williams: A chimpanzee 

I might watch this movie, but only if there's a chance it's hilariously bad instead of just bad-bad. 

[sainte-chapelle]

She seems fairly intelligent…I hope she makes it

[EtheltoTillie]

How was she working hard?  She just had a barrel full of biscuits and bacon.

Wow! I'm in fleece lined leggings and a sweatshirt, but I'm also in bed, with THREE comforters, two of which are down.

[ams1001]

"You're just 450 pounds away from your ideal weight.."

Is that all?

[Hellga]

592 lb - but she says it's down from 620 or so a few weeks ago... hopefully she will be a success.

I'm in bed with a fleece, sweat pants, and 2 quilts lol. We just got hit with a snowstorm Monday with more to come whoppee

[Auntie Anxiety]

She needs to have someone who will scold her when she doesn’t lose any more weight. Someone like Dr. Now!!!

I hope they don't accidentally take a bite out of the baby! 🙀

I bow down to you, my queen! 

[EtheltoTillie]

She does sound intelligent. Maybe she can succeed. 

[Pepper Mostly]

She says she stress eats and all, but she's been voice overing about how much she loves food, food is love, food is a way to show that she cares, blah blah blah. I see you, Krystal.

They’d eat the kid.

I have sheepskin slippers! So cozy! I also have the cutest fluffy soft bunny slippers. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Looks like Krystal has the requisite 600 pounder stain on her shirt.

[sainte-chapelle]

Less train wrecks so far this season

I just swapped an old worn out pair of sheepskin slippers for brand new one.  The old one was worn not just to the point of not having fur anymore, even the leather cracked in places so it was down to rubber.  No wonder my feet were freezing when I wore them.  Once I noticed a month ago, I got new ones.  Such a difference! 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Krystal does seem to have a couple of brain cells. It’s sort of a pleasure for this viewer.

Does hubby have a job? I missed that.

[Red Bridey]

Well, she is articulate and polite, so let's hope she's really committed. Could we be so lucky as to have two successes in a row??

Two reasonably functional people in two episodes! It's early yet, though.

I am the Queen of Blankets, anyway. I have to be forcibly restrained from buying more, all the time. I have the three on my bed and I also have a huge Ugg Sherpa throw up here, in case of emergencies. I have a storage ottoman in the living room, full of blankets. And a basket in the corner, with another half a dozen (these are the everyday blankets, the ottoman has the extra). But I refuse to turn my thermostat over 65 so blankets are a must. Fortunately my house is well insulated and has all new windows. 

[EtheltoTillie]

Didn’t they say the husband also worked in the hotel?

With some barbecue sauce or ranch.

IMO 1.25 episodes is a bit too early to judge!  This one talks the talk, but we have seen so many of them say all the right things in their first appointment only to crash and burn later...

[EtheltoTillie]

I am crocheting a blanket.

Yea I am being optimistic…I have been burned before!!!! 😂

I hate having anything on my feet, so the most I'll do is thick socks.

I don't have enough real blankets, but I have a lot of smaller throws. I keep buying ones with cute prints so I can make them into cozy pants, but then I just use them like they are, and I really don't need this many throws. 

[sainte-chapelle]

I still remember the one double header episode where they had to stop filming because of COVID….months later the lady looked exactly the same, when they cut to the dude I didn’t recognize him because he lost so much weight. It was apparent who followed the program and who made excuses 

[Auntie Anxiety]

If anyone hates getting into a freeezing cold bed, I recommend getting an electric mattress cover. It’s heavenly. I set it for one hour ()other wise it gets too hot for me) but I no longer shiver when I get into bed. By the way, my bedroom is right above the garage. It’s the only bedroom on the main floor (which I love and why I bought the house). I also bought a Vornado space heater, because I don’t like the two that I already have.

I am a sock addict so I have a bunch of those fuzzy socks with the grippy dots on the soles but I can't wear them with slippers so it's one or the other. Tonight it's wool socks and slippers. Tomorrow it might be grippy socks.

[Chicklet]

Turning your head side to side? What kind of exercise is that lol.

Maybe a warmup/stretch?

One I might actually do.

[ams1001]

They're exercising and the dog is between them like, what the heck are you doing?

 

I have refrained from buying blankets a few times in the past several months and then I got one from our holiday party gift game thing. I thought it was a throw but then realized it's actually a queen size blanket. It's fuzzy like a sheep.

I love a warm bed the problem is hubby loves a cold bed…booooo

[Chicklet]

Well as a warm up yes, but she needs to work on large muscle groups. And is cheese on that diet?

[Auntie Anxiety]

He’s her dealer. He hooks her up with M & M’s.
