Maybe it stays cooler in the Texas heat?

That is a sad gym…good lord that treadmill room looks like a dystopian factory where you work for your food

Noooo…don’t keep the diet the same….more restrictions are required 

Exactly. It's all well and good to exercise. But to actually lose weight she needs to eat less, period.

That's a lot of treadmills crammed in the room.

I like Mark's attitude about helping her work out. He seems like a good guy.

He does….I like him and he seems to really love her and want her to succeed 

[Chicklet]

I thought it was a garage when they first pulled up, the doors were wide open. I hope this is taking place during the spring in Texas.

[ams1001]

Krystal: "I'm gonna order us some 80s workout outfits." 

Mark: "I'm down."

I wanna see it.

 

[Hellga]

Where is the catch with the husband?  He has all his teeth, he drives, he works out, he encourages her, he doesn't push food on her...  Though she is not a low-life like some poundticipants, and they met through her work, so maybe there are no gory secrets there, just two people who fell in love.

Weight loss is mainly diet….some people back slide because they feel like they can eat more after a work out but you never burn as many calories as you think you do

We have been conditioned to expect a low bar.

[ams1001]

Not sure I've ever heard anyone say hello to the nurse by name before...

[Auntie Anxiety]

Uh oh, she couldn’t work out because she is poorly. But the illness didn’t have any effect on her appetite.

Well, now we have to see it when you're done!

Missed first hour.  Krystal is very bubbly for this show.  She doesn't sound like she's two steps from jumping off a bridge like the usual narration.

Hey, in this show, as long as you have teeth, a shirt and shoes - you are a king/queen!

"What a great guy! He has all his teeth, and a job!"

[ams1001]

Beat the goal by 6 pounds!

[Pi237]

36 down. Not bad. And she called her Miss Rosie. Cute

[Hellga]

Wow, she lost 36 lb which is more than her (admittedly, easy) goal.  I am going to let myself feel cautiously optimistic!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Month 1-592 lbs

Month 3-547 lbs, down 45 lbs. 

Month 5-512, 35 lbs down, she met her 30 lbs off goal.  

Surgery approval. 

[Red Bridey]

Good for her, lost six more lbs than required, I was thinking she was going to blame weight gain on not getting to the gym, as if missing a week of exercise causes you to gain!

[ams1001]

Ugh, bronchitis at that weight must be extra hellish. Facebook memories reminded me recently of when I had a bad chest cold about six years ago; it sucked but I can't imagine carrying an extra 400 pounds on top of it.

She worried me for a second, asking him to pull the car up and sounding out of breath. Was afraid the cut to the hospital was going to be her finding out she has pneumonia or something instead of a month later getting surgery.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Good luck, Krystal.

I was skinny when I had pneumonia and I thought I was dying. I couldn’t imagine something like that at over 500lbs

[Hellga]

It's only 9:08 and we are already heading into the surgery!  That should leave us plenty of time for post-surgery follow-ups.  Hopefully she is another success.  

[Pi237]

Bring the robot.

I've had "borderline" pneumonia and I felt like I had just run up several flights of stairs just sitting on my floor transferring laundry from a basket to a duffel bag (that was after having the flu the previous week; brought my laundry to my parents' house so I could do it there after going back to the doctor...my mom ended up doing it while I slept). It was over a month before I could take the stairs without stopping in the middle after I finally went back to work.

Dr. Now puts the robot on automatic pilot and takes a short nap.

Or there's going to be an extra long walk in the park tacked on to the the end.

Did we even have a single success last season?

Mark seems earnest and is actually quite handsome when he looks directly at the camera instead of from under his eyebrows. 

That stomach is the fattest/thickest I remember seeing on this show!

I thought in the beginning that he wasn't bad looking (especially as this show goes), but when he was talking to the camera I was just thinking he's actually pretty cute.

I know! I was wondering if he injected it with some air, or something,lol.

That sucks...  Last week I needed to do laundry because my Mom was also sick, and we were both sweating through at least one set of bedding through the night.  I went downstairs to load it in, and then back up - and my heart rate was into 130s as if I ran up five floors instead of walking up one floor...  My heart rate is still high and spikes with any exertion, so I think I will cancel the swimming lesson I am supposed to have on Friday, I don't think I am up for it yet.  And it wasn't even any kind of severe disease.  

[Pi237]

Dr Now clipped that tummy into a lil' pierogi.

I think we did have one or two moderate successes, not runaway ones where they went all in right away, but at least a couple people did get to the surgery stage. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Little League coach? Holy cannoli. That’s who you want around you young kids.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Dr. Paradise!    There's a lot to unravel in Krystal's background. Guy was 33 and she was 14!   That's illegal and disgusting.   

[babyhouseman]

The father of her baby was a coach. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Grade eight?!?! Call the police!!!!! Her gardians should have looked out for her, she was a child

Pregnant at 14? So either I misheard something earlier or my math was wrong.

The week before, I started getting sick on Sunday (I was fine, at my parents' for dinner, and then around 8:00 I was suddenly just utterly exhausted). The next night I started getting a fever, it went up over the following day, and by Wednesday morning it was almost 104 degrees. My mom had to pick me up and take me to the doctor because I could barely sit up straight, let alone drive anywhere. Then I spent the rest of the week in my childhood bedroom, wearing my dad's PJ pants and t-shirts because I didn't have any changes of clothes. Then the next week I started coughing.

We all had what I think was RSV around here. I was so exhausted I could barely stand for more than a few minutes. I lived on toast because it was too hard to make anything else. Even dropping bread in the toaster was such a struggle. This shit that's going around right now is no joke. 

[Hellga]

Ah.  Here comes the catch - Mark was an addict.  But sounds like he is clean now.  Hopefully they both help each other stay out of addictions.   

[Pi237]

"She gave me somewhere to be... Taking care of her..." Woah there, red flag

[ams1001]

"Mark, how are you different from these other guys."
"I'm not gonna beat her to death."

Well, that's a bit of a low bar. Didn't realize he had drug issues himself, but still, he seems like a good one. I guess he's turned things around. I hope.

Oh God, The Cough! Mine hung on for two full weeks. Nightmare. I hope you're feeling better now!

[BAForever]

About 30 min behind, but lurking in to ask if all BINGO cards are blank and if this is really the Bizzaro episode of Seinfeld??

Mine was COVID confirmed by two tests.  I never lost appetite - my Mom and my friend who both got it from me, unfortunately, did.  I strongly believe in the magic of chicken soup so that's what we made and ate - good thing Cornish hens come in twos, first we used one, then the other.  Also good thing that my Mom didn't start feeling bad until I started to feel better, we only really overlapped for one day when we were both sick.  And I was only really badly off for three days, Mom for two days, otherwise it was more nuisance symptoms than anything really bad.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Kody is such a smarmy asshole. The real estate is so important to him that he needs to keep it = he doesn’t have the money to buy the ex-wives out.

[sainte-chapelle]

I hope Mark stays clean. He does seems to care for her. I worry though what he will do when she doesn’t need him around so often. He does seems to to own it though.
