greekmom August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Is it me or is she even larger in the new season previews? No it's not you. I noticed it as well and forgot to post it. Which is sad. I understand her enthusiasm but girlfriend cannot solely blame her medical condition for the weight. It's TLC. They have chef shows. Why can't they arrange for Whitney to meet up one of the chefs and teach her to cook more nutrition foods? Or meet up with a nutritionist to advise what to eat? Or a trainer to help her work out? Just doing zumba isn't going to work if she goes home and eats mayo and banana sandwiches or a bag full of chips. 4 Link to comment
AZChristian August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 TLC could arrange that, and would probably love to . . . but it would involve work and sacrifice on Whitney's part, and I've never seen any indication that she's interested in either of those activities. 4 Link to comment
Pdxblonde August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Oh goody, another season of her being loud and obnoxious and acting like she's 12 when her parents ask her to help around the house or clean her car... 3 Link to comment

Or meet up with a nutritionist to advise what to eat? Or a trainer to help her work out? How about a cross-over show where they send Whitney to live with Kate Gosslin and Kate whips her into shape. The reason KG had fertility treatments that resulted in sextuplets is that she had PCOS, so I doubt Kate would accept PCOS as an excuse for Whitney's weight. I don't think Kate is a very likeable person, but she's a taskmaster that's for sure. Edited August 28, 2015 by absolutelyido 6 Link to comment
CarolMK August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 I saw a preview from Whitney on Facebook (I think) and she and Buddy are now living together. If she's gained weight, this might be the reason why, it often happens when couples get married or start living together. 2 Link to comment

Hero September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 She's really obnoxious. If you have to have your mom shave your legs, wouldn't you want to get healthier? 5 Link to comment
ari333 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 I did not understand why her parents got her lab work results (pre-diabetic). That is personal information for an adult. Also, her exact weight number is not her parents' business. (imo) 3 Link to comment
notyrmomma September 7, 2015 Share September 7, 2015 While I'm not a huge fan of this show simply because I think Whitney acts like a snotty teen most of the time, I still follow her on Facebook and she has had some really good, common sense posts lately about fat shaming. I'm watching some of the s1 reruns today which is reminding me that her show really isn't helping her cause. She keeps staying that all she has to do is exercise or dance to lose weight, but in reality she is just making her weight worse. When you are that big, eating less is the key. Moderate exercise is beneficial, but rigorous exercise just makes you eat more. Sorry honey, you can't eat banana and mayo sandwiches and get down to under 200 pounds. This show drives me nuts. 2 Link to comment

ClareWalks September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 As an aside, Whitney TOTALLY seems like the type of person who would drop her phone in the toilet, then shriek hysterically and have Boo Bear come over with a net to fish it out. While she's still shrieking. 6 Link to comment
Ketzel October 17, 2015 Share October 17, 2015 (edited) I can't believe this show got a second season. TLC must be reeling from the vacancy left by the Duggars. Apparently, they're actually looking to expand the concept. From the current Casting page at TLC: "SEEKING LARGER THAN LIFE INDIVIDUALS!! Are you struggling with extreme weight AND dealing with a major life crisis? If you are plus sized and getting married, have issues with hoarding, struggling with addiction that is not food related, incarcerated, have a twin, or preparing for catastrophe, we would like to hear your story. If you are Big and Bold and want to share your life story email us at itsmylifeplus@gmail.com Please include your name, age, your city and state, how much you weigh and a photo. Also tell us about your life and the emotional and physical challenges you are facing." Anyone fantasizing about being the next Whitney Thore? Only now with even bigger challenges! (Not intended as a play on words.) Here's your chance! Edited October 17, 2015 by Ketzel 2 Link to comment

leighroda October 18, 2015 Share October 18, 2015 I like that it says "have a twin", then jumps to "preparing for a catastrophe" is it weird for plus sized people to have a twin? How is plus sized hoarding different than regular hoarding? I guess little people are out, and it's the year of the plus sized. 3 Link to comment
Shibori October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 Yeah, I'd allow Whitney some leeway for being young and naive, but that ad should put to rest any suggestion that a TLC show's purpose is anything but a total freak show. Link to comment

notyrmomma October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 Has TLC ever actually watched one of their Hoarders shows or did they just forget? About 99% of those people featured are morbidly obese. I think it would be interesting to hear about twins where one was morbidly obese and the other was normal weight because I have never seen that before. There was Olivia on My 600 Lb Life who was a twin. Her twin was only about 300 lbs (HA!) and she was 600 lbs and after 2 years, Olivia went down to under 200 and her sister appeared to remain at about 300. So it seems like TLC wants to combine all of their shows into one. This shouldn't be too hard. Now if they found an obese twin drawrf with a pain pill addiction living in a hoarded house that is also haunted, now that would be cool. 4 Link to comment

Toaster Strudel May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 I never watched this show before outside of promos because, I get the idea, she's fat and happy, I don't need to watch the details. Are they switching it up, that you can be fat and happy, but you can't also be all that healthy? Link to comment

Yes, you can actually be fat, happy, and healthy, but maybe at 220 pounds, not 380. I don't know what the bright line is for what you can weigh without killing your internal organs and maybe there isn't one, but she's way to heavy to be doing what she's doing. I wouldn't be surprised if she over 400 at this point. She has played with "diet and exercise" for two years now, she needs to cut here losses and seek medical intervention before her mom will be changing pee pads for her in bed. This is serious. I don't think I'm going to be able to watch her kill herself just to earn a couple bucks. Edited May 14, 2016 by notyrmomma 4 Link to comment
Baby Button Eyes May 16, 2016 Share May 16, 2016 Judging by the constant previews, are they still trying to convince us she has a big fat fabulous life by showing her panicking on skis, barely getting in a vehicle and fainting? They might want to change the show title this season! 7 Link to comment
RCharter May 16, 2016 Share May 16, 2016 TLC turned on her for more views. I wouldn't be surprised if she has had some episodes before but they were left on the cutting room floor so that she could appear to have a somewhat fabulous/fit life. I can't be sure of course, but I think her reaction to falling out will be telling.....if it really causes her to turn a corner I'll believe its the first time she has had any big episode related to her weight. If she takes it in stride....I'd be more likely to believe that this wasn't the first time something has happened from her weight (not necessarily saying she has fainted before...but something) 3 Link to comment
Dirtybubble May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 Has anyone heard if Whitney is still dating Lennie? Good lawd I hope not, I haven't seen him in the previews so I'm hoping he's gone for good... 1 Link to comment
absolutelyido May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 It's interesting that in that preview clip, Whitney's friend says that the dance-a-thon is, "a big deal for her to be on her feet this long". He doesn't say it's a big deal for her to be dancing that long, but just to be on her feet that long. I think we will see that Whitney's weight is really starting to take a toll on her body. Her hips, knees and heart just can't take that amount of weight forever. Sad to say, but if she doesn't start getting some control of her weight the show is going to become"My Big Fat Fabulous Bedridden Life". 4 Link to comment

greekmom May 23, 2016 Share May 23, 2016 She really needs to get a grip on reality and not be blinded by the TLC money. If she is 350 pounds and her height is 5'4 she is around 60 on the BMI chart. That isn't just overweight - it's dangerously obese. I agree with preciousperfect - she is dangerously delusional. I may only watch just to snark about it later on the boards. Just makes me sad, when season 1 aired, I had high hopes for Big Whit. That she was serious about losing the weight. She doesn't give two craps about it. Pass on the cheetos and tub of ice cream to her. 4 Link to comment
DanaMB May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 In the previews for the new season, I think she says she loves being fat. She's not going to change. 4 Link to comment
Snarklepuss May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 She loves being fat because it's what got her all that attention in the first place. I think she's afraid if she loses weight she'll be just like everyone else and no one will look at her anymore. After all, she's actually an exhibitionist. She's living in a dream world thinking she can be fat and do all that dancing without it impacting her health. She's getting away with it now because she's young but if she were my age she would have left that dance hall in a body bag. Every time they interview her she insists she's going to focus on her health but then ignores the main reason she's unhealthy in the first place. I get it that it's hard for her to lose weight otherwise all that activity would have helped her shed some pounds by now, but she at least needs to lose a good 100 lbs. to help her health. I don't expect her to be svelte but around 200 would be a good goal. 4 Link to comment
