Truth is, a Big Mac, A Wendy's Double w/Cheese and a Frosty taste a heck of a lot better than the healthier options!!! 1 Link to comment

Funny thing is, I never like any of those much when I was eating fast food. I just bought a McD burger or fish sandwich because I had to have something to go with the fries, lol. But, yes, we never see anyone binging on the salads. As pointed out in another episode posting... you can eat 5 huge containers of salad and maybe hit 100 calories total. With dressing you would still need a bottle for each container to even get close to overeating. 1 Link to comment

It is very filling and a bit under 500 calories. There are ALWAYS options, it is just easier to down a double cheeseburger or three burritos and call it a day!! 4 Link to comment
Nancypants August 11, 2017 Share August 11, 2017 The Wendy's Mediterranean salad ( full size),is so satisfying and delicious, at around 540 cals. Its a real find, for those of us that care what we put in our bodies..yet want something yummy.! 3 Link to comment
scowl August 11, 2017 Share August 11, 2017 I've tried all of the fast food salads and I liked all of them, except for Burger King's which was nothing more than dry chicken in a bowl of generic lettice. 1 Link to comment

But, I didn't think it was possible to mess up lettuce and chicken breast but I had a doozy one day. It was horrible. I think it might of been what SCOWL was talking about. I used to love El Pollo Loco's chicken salad but then I found out they used GMO ingredients. 1 Link to comment
auntjess August 14, 2017 Share August 14, 2017 I've recorded the James from season 2 to watch. Just saw that he's on one of the FB 600lb Life groups. I don't remember him. I'm so desparate for something to watch, that I'm watching a lot of What Not to Wear reruns. Almost tempted to make a topic for it, but don't don't if anyone else watches, and too lazy to make all the topics required. I'm coming to think that Stacy is kinder than Clinton. Link to comment
aliya August 14, 2017 Share August 14, 2017 A deep thought - you wonder sometimes how these people put on so much weight, both before and after seeing Dr Now. It recently occurred to me, after watching a bunch of these shows on amazon, that once you get to a certain weight or have limited mobility, all you are doing is sitting around the house. What else are you going to do but eat? Shoot, when I work from home I know I have to make an effort not to snack all day . It seems to be different when it's just a day off and I have stuff to do. If I'm working from home at the computer all day, I want something to do when I'm just sitting there. Obviously, you don't have to eat all day, but I can see how people get into that habit when there's nothing else for them to do. That said, I'm still trying to figure out how they can afford to eat all that take out and fast food (which isn't all that cheap anymore). Food stamps only go so far, and they don't take food stamps at McDonald's. 2 Link to comment

ethalfrida August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 This is a little different and I don't really know where to put it. I have read more than a couple of posts here where the writer states "kill yourself" to a couple of the patients. Coming off a recent guilty verdict where a girlfriend texted her boyfriend to do that and he did, it seems somewhat careless to put that in writing on these public forums. The judge in the case did rule that words alone could not cause his death but rather it was his attempt to save his own life and the girlfriend offered no help. When he got out of the truck which he had filled with noxious fumes she texted him to get back in and then listened to him die without calling 911. People like Steven, his brother, James, Penny and others are fragile beings. We don't know what will set them on the route to doing harm to themselves. Especially someone like Steven. I just think it is a bit careless to indulge in our disapproval in such an open and direct way. 5 Link to comment

I just think it is a bit careless to indulge in our disapproval in such an open and direct way. Very true. Having changed to eating as clean as possible and having lost 39 pounds this year( slow and steady)I have found that fast food options aren't that appealing. Those calories are way too much for the small nutrition that's being offered, imo. In case of emergency, I resort to grocery stores, where I can get some lean meat, yogurt, my own fresh veggies, etc. I think the total calories offered at the main fast food chains, include that of the dressing, which is huge and of no real value, imo. 500 calories for a salad? lol Bizarre, imo. Plus, the price.....not worth it. Sheetz offers some fairly good prepared snacks with nutritional content displayed. Chic-filet has grilled chicken nuggets, but, they tasted so terrible, I could only get 2 down. Perhaps, the worst thing that I've tried to eat in my life and I'm not a picky eater. lol Edited August 24, 2017 by SunnyBeBe 1 Link to comment

If the boat will not hold that weight, because they probably will have other people on board , they would say be back for you when we can .

Otter September 25, 2017 Share September 25, 2017 Before 600# Life started, TLC had other shows about fat people (Billy for instance) There was one that Dr. Now was also involved in. She was accused of murdering her little nephew by *literally* squashing him. It was very interesting and she did weigh over 1,000 pounds. There were two parts. Charges were dismissed (poor baby, she had nothing to do with the abuse), but the change in that woman was extraordinary! Dr. Now used an experimental drug on her that drained the lymphodemas (sp) and gallons of fluid came out of her. She got down to safe enough weight to operate on. She was so incredibly grateful and thankful. I loved her! 3 Link to comment

ClareWalks September 29, 2017 Share September 29, 2017 I went to the clinic today and saw a man there who appeared to be well over 500 lb, almost all of it in his belly. He was the largest man I've ever seen in person and it was astonishing. The physics alone, it just looked so PAINFUL to carry all that weight, especially all in the front of your body. I felt bad for the guy. Seeing these shows, we see how people get like that, and it's never a happy story. 2 Link to comment

It's been a number of years, so I can't recall which one, but on one of the UK shows, I saw a guy whose weight was in his stomach and he had to use something like a walker with a seat to hold his stomach. Lord have mercy - you'd think that before it got to that point, you'd change your eating. But, I guess that's why it's not just about the food; surely something else must be going on mentally for a person to let themselves get so big. 1 Link to comment
