There was a previous Krystal, but not Krystal A.  My cable guides have the wrong season too, actually both have different wrong seasons.    One cable guide says S08.E13.   Can you set it to record manually?      I see on my On Demand that they have the wrong information and don't know what they'll air for the Wednesday episode, but the Supersized is airing Saturday night, maybe that will work?  

They did something similar about numbering last season.   I don't remember if it ever was corrected.

Krystal A, age 36 , from: Pasadena, TX.  Her mother was a lifelong addict, and her dad a lifelong criminal.  Fortunately for Krystal, Dr. Paradise is her therapist.    Raised by the grandmother, who had a terrible temper.  

She's mobile.  Her husband Mark, and family live with her.   A niece, nephew, and apparently others.  Her daughter was born when she was in high school, and is on her own now.    Krystal has a job too. 

She says she wants to be healthier and lose weight, and then piles the grocery cart full of pies, and all kinds of ice cream, junk food, empty nutrition.  almost $500 worth of garbage food. 

just now

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 and surgery month 5.

Everyone does that.  Very few actually start to make any effort until after the first meeting with Dr. Now. 

Dr. Now always asks the patients "if you know what you have to do, why didn't you start doing it already?"  But I keep thinking that it would be pointless, because the doctor seems to think that surgery is required for long term success, but also he won't approve unless that person loses weight while under his care.  So what's the point of losing weight before entering the program?  If these people worked on their diets before seeing Dr. Now, it would just make it harder to get surgery.  It's easier to go from 600 to 530 than from 530 to 460, especially if you've already lost that first 70 pounds.

Is her husband Really recovered? He looked high to me, especially his first interview.

I wonder now too because I checked her socials and they are now divorced.  She answers some questions in the comments and just said they were on good terms and he is a good person but it wasn't working since her weight loss.  She looks a lot thinner and posts healthy recipes on socials. Good for her!

Aw, he did seem like a good guy but I'll admit I wondered how much of that was the editing.

There have been a lot of the last few season's women poundticipants who lost a lot of weight and divorced, or split up if not married.   Some of the men also dumped their significant other or wife after they lost weight. 

Sorry they split up, but I'm glad it didn't upset her weight loss and return to health.

Interesting take @Nerfect Drifty. I always assumed he makes them lose weight to show their commitment to better eating habits (ha) because the month-long liquid diet post- surgery and continued dietary restrictions after that. I worked with a teacher once who was 5 years post gastric sleeve and we had same 25 min lunch break. She always packed her lunch, avoided our fun potlucks and drank no pop. She ate slowly, not finishing anything. She said eating too fast or too much made it feel like she had rocks in her stomach. 

I digress, but do see your point. The first pounds are going to be the easiest.

Is this a "thruple," LOL?  Hearing that she's divorced, I can't help but wonder if she ended up with her live-in BFF, which whom she shared food orgies and seemed to have much more fun.

Why does Krystle A. use two different voices?  A slow, meek one with the doctors, and a much more assertive one with others and in her voiceovers.  It seems manipulative...

(looking for the live chat, just for reading purposes)
