Janelle Brown: Smarter Than Your Average Brown (Maybe)

A tip my doctor told me.  You need to reduce you calories by about 200.  Then after a few weeks, reduce it 200 more, etc.  So on and so on.  He also said, number 1 thing is you are going to be hungry, number two, yes you are going to be hungry a lot those first few weeks  or month.  Eventually your body will get used to it.  

Yes menopause makes it almost impossible to lose weight.  Cut out all sugars, dairy, grains and even my favorite beans/legumes.  

Wow, I don't think I agree with this.  After I hit menopause (quite young) the pounds started to creep up.  I found that losing weight slowly is the only way to keep it off.  I spent an entire year losing 15  pounds but more than 5 years later, it's still gone.  The only change I made was to cut down on the amount of soda I drank - went from 1 (sometimes 2) a day to 1 sometimes 2 a week.  As you can see I'm not a believer in cutting out any food group - and I definitely do not believe in being hungry!

Robyn looks so old, prim and proper.

If I saw that pic and didn't know the ages I'd guess that Robyn was the oldest.

Christine with her cute hair looks soooooo much younger and even Janelle and Meri look better than Joan Crawford..... oooops... I mean Robyn.

Meri and Christine are both showing a little cleavage but not Robyn.... She looks like a school marm.

Hey! We're talking about the BROWNS here. The most noncharitable family on reality TV.

[ginger90]

[dreadfulLeigh]

What kinda of shit goes on in her head if taking an impromptu (designated) walking trail into town and sipping a drink at a tea shop feels like the height of adventure and rule breaking?? What went to wrong with your life, Janelle!?

[ginger90]

I think we may have Mariah 2.0.

[laurakaye]

Not sure why Janelle stopped at the tea house when she has 40 pounds of unused peppermint tea growing stale in her pantry.

But seriously, this supposedly adventurous, outdoors-woman thinks it's post-worthy that she found a trail and took a walk.  And I'm sure 4,000 people "hearted" it.  🙄

[DakotaJustice]

She didn't mention which tea house but it would've taken over an hour to walk to downtown Flagstaff from her house. I wonder when she called the Uber?

[xwordfanatik]

Hey Janelle!  Guess what?  I take a walk around my neighborhood, without stopping for anything.  I bet you've never had a car pull up to you, with a young woman inside, telling you how cute you are, and how you've got pep in your step!  That happened to me just the other day.  

Rilly, I agree with the above, asking what's wrong with her life (polygamy, for one thingk!)

Also, isn't that peppermint tea going to go stale, if you go buy a cup someplace else?  She is so clueless, it's not even funny.  Snarkable is about it.

If she had wouldn't we have seen her pedometer?!?

Must be the black beans...

Btw the recipe is very poorly written. It doesn't say if the beans are supposed to be cooked or not. Of course, reason would say they should be cooked, but we're talking about Janelle here.

We can be sure that the black beans came in a handy can.  Soak for 5 hours, then cook for 1 hour?  Uh-Uh, Janelle has not enough hours in the day for that, this is a woman that feeds her 2 year old grandson CANNED CABBAGE.

Now you have to spill!  What is Mrs. T & BF Tito?

Still laughing at the baby shit reference!  I have a daughter, and I can say that green poo is rilly for real.  Thankfully, it didn't happen but a couple of times.  

Janelle, smoothies are not your friend.  Trust me on this one.

Ya know, I have often wondered if the Browns do any charitable works.  I've never heard any mentioned, but y'all please correct me if I'm wrong. But then, some folks don't like to announce their charitable works, so maybe the Browns like to keep theirs private.

For the life of me all I remember is the 5/10k they participated in (which didn't really count as being charitable since they would've done the event anyhow) and the teens helping paint a house for the anti polygamy group years and years ago.

I'm sorry in advance

Omg here it goes...

I think that kody looks ...somewhat decent here with his hair pulled back (we can't see all the receding hairline and fluff sticking out) and a real moustache.

Ok there I said it, I feel "better".

And in my defense I hurt my shoulder over the weekend, so the pain that I am in may have caused this weakness.

Also Meri,Janelle and Cristina all look happy.

Screw Robyn still- no amount of pain can make me say anything nice about her👅

I agree about Kody. When I first saw this, I thought he had finally shaved his head. Losing that thinning overpermed fried mop would be such a great idea.

I think we have a quorum since I also agree he looks much better this way. He's lucky to have a nicely shaped head - a lot of hair-challenged men would be envious.

Mrs T is a premade bloody mary mix and Tito's is a vodka - so I have complete nutrition packing a punch - a weekend breakfast of champions, a game changer and rockstar all in 1 glass !

I think it's different for everyone and each person needs to figure out their "formula". 

It hit it early because I had severe anorexia--my periods went away in 2007 and have never returned. Yay on one hand, struggles on another. Even though I work out, I have to watch every little thing I eat. I can keep my weight in check but it takes an acceptance of my situation--my BMR is only around 1400 calories per day. With running, it goes up but if I'm trying to drop weight, I keep it around 1400. That's not much and can add up quickly. I could stomp my fee and cry "It's not fair!", but in the end that accomplishes nothing. If I want to stay fit, I have to eat clean and work hard. 

Janelle has had years to figure her situation out. If she'd just accept her situation and be honest about it instead of searching for a magic potion, it would be beneficial for her. She's only successful at sounding like an idiot.

This times 10,000!  I guess what I was trying to say is that if she had started making really small LIFELONG changes when she was working with the trainer she could easily be down 75 - 100 pounds by now - and that's just losing 1-2 pounds a MONTH - no major "diet" required.  Then, all the potions, supplements and "activities" she currently touts could be viewed as ways to get healthier, not thinner.  She is not necessarily giving bad advice - she isn't pushing some horrible supplement that could kill you, and drinking peppermint tea will certainly not harm you - but if she don't make ANY other changes she'll never change her life.

Can we all just take a minute to enjoy the fact that because of this silly forum, we are sharing things across the US and other countries about where we come from and what we love?  I know it’s off topic, but I’m enjoying the hell out of this.

Representing So. CA here!  Love the beach, desert and mountains.  It’s like it was made for me.  BUT, I’m from MI and Mr. HighlandWarrior is from NC and there are things I love about those places as well.  

BTW, I work a lot in Las Vegas, and I’ve never met a greater group of community focused people.  I’ve got a lot of friends there and I don’t know what the Browns find so objectionable about LV.  The folks I know work hard in the hospitality, gaming and entertainment industries and have big hearts and a great sense of fun.  And I’m talking about fun away from the Strip and that whole environment.  There is a lot to love about that community. 

I'm a lifelong (so far) SF Bay Area resident. Changed a LOT with all the silicon valley money, but I still love it. 

I think one reason the Browns now dislike Vegas is that they don't get the attention they think they deserve, especially Kody. Lots of celebs and famous people there. Who gives a crap about some third rate reality tee vee family?

That is so true!  Las Vegas locals don’t give a damn about the Brown Clowns.  I asked a friend in the entertainment business one time if they knew about the Browns and where they lived and they rolled their eyes and we both chuckled.  That was it.  In a place like Vegas, where you have talent and entertainment all over the place, they are a non entity.  

But they lived in gated Summerlin (or there abouts) for cripe sake, and I never saw them getting involved in community or anything.  Otherwise they would have met nice people and discovered the other side of living in LV.  Believe it or not, after those people work all day (or night) on the Strip or at a tourist dependent business, they go home to families who do things like hiking, running, boating, fishing, golfing, high school sports, etc.  The Browns could just never be bothered to make themselves part of the community, and that’s on them.  Exile, what bullshit.  Self induced.  Nobody was judging them there because nobody cared.

Don't feel bad, I totally agree with you lol

In fact at first glance I wondered who the guy was... I'm not kidding

Then I actually looked closely and realized it was Kody... He needs to cut his hair or wear it like this all the time because he looks soooooo much better.

He's still an insufferable asshole but at least he's easier on the eyes with this hairdo.  😂

Thank you for saying this.  I live in the Summerlin part of Vegas.  My neighborhood looks like any other SW neighborhood.  I've lived here for 23 years.  I don't drink or gamble and just live a regular life.  No matter what your charitable interests may be, there is a volunteer organization for you.  All the casinos are very active in the community and charitable organizations.  If the Browns had made the effort, they would have found a very rich life here.  And I'm not talking about monetary riches.

I've never given birth and my youngest nephew who I watched for 13 years (he hated the term "babysitting") is now in his early to mid 20s so I don't remember how long it takes for something like cabbage to come exploding out of the other end of a two year old's digestive tract. 

I was wondering WHEN Janelle (who should know better since she had SIX kids) gave him that can of Ex-Lax as far as when Maddie and Caleb got home and took over. 

An hour before they came home maybe...? 

I can see it now...

The day C&M are on their way back home...

Janelle wakes up at 10 am or so. 

JANELLE: Well, I only got 11 hours of sleep, but it'll have to do. 

AXEL: (looking up from the electronic babysitter which is what my mom always called the TV set) Gwandma, I'm hungwy. I want Corn Pops.

A: (frowny face) i don't like it. I want Corn Pops. And Blue Box. When is mommy coming home?!?

J: Now don't fuss! They're coming home today. Let me think. Hmmm. 

Five minutes elapses as she sips her Parkay laden coffee and Axel watches Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eating pizza 

A: let's have peppawoni pizza like the Turtles! 

J: laughing oh Axel, I'm sure that Little Caesars doesn't deliver this early. Hmmm. Wait, I know! I found this in the market yesterday and bought a few cans to take home. 

Pulls out canned cabbage

J: you need more vegetables in your diet honey! Besides, I also need to post something inspiring on my Strive FB page. I'll heat it up for you. 

Opens can and dumps in pot on stove

A: it smells bad Gwandma.

J: well tell you what Axel, you eat some of this and I'll let you have some soy yogurt for dessert. 

Sits him down in front of a heaping bowl of cabbage and he holds his nose and starts eating.  Phone rings...

MADDIE: Hi Mom! We're about 30 minutes away. Make sure your things are packed and Caleb will take you to the airport so you make your flight home. I miss my boy - did he eat breakfast?  This is his Corn Pops day. 

J: he's eating now. He's been such a good boy. I'll be ready to leave when you arrive. 

Hangs up and takes a photo of Axel eating his bowl of Colon Blow

J: I'll post this later while I'm on the plane. Won't this be inspiring! 

A: belches Gwandma can I have some juice pwease? 

J: After you finish the rest of the can. 

A: My tummy feels funny. 

J: it's okay, it just means your system is working as designed. Don't forget they your grandma is a certified health coach! 

Flash forward to two hours later. Janelle's left and Maddie is changing Axel's diaper...again.

M: Caleb, can you go to the store and pick up another box of Pampers? We're out. 

CALEB: holds his nose as he enters Axel's room Holy shit! WTF did your mom feed him? Why is his shit green?!? The entire house smells like a used diaper filled with Indian food!! 

M: I have no idea. I left her a list of what he's supposed to eat. Christine or Logan always fed us when we were kids...

So sorry to hear that, I fractured my ankle on December 29, 2017 

It was a really bad fracture, the x-rays were horrible... I couldn't even look at them so hubby took pics of them with his phone and I only looked at them a couple months ago....I had 2 surgeries and have metal plates and screws on both sides of ankle.

Lived in the air cast boot for the longest time... ugh.

It took well over a year for all the swelling to go down... couldn't wear most of my shoes until about 3 months ago.

The metal plate on one side is a pain and my ankle clicks going up and down stairs so I'm thinking of having it removed but I really hate the thought of more surgery.

It's been hell...I had no idea that a fractured ankle could take this long to heal.

So sorry to hear that, I fractured my ankle on December 29, 2017 

It was a really bad fracture, the x-rays were horrible... I couldn't even look at them so hubby took pics of them with his phone and I only looked at them a couple months ago....I had 2 surgeries and have metal plates and screws on both sides of ankle.

they're telling me 4-6 weeks...I was on vacation when it happened

Ended my vacation early (thought it was just a sprain) and when the flight got to 30,000 feet or whatever my foot swelled up like Mama June's Forklift Foot 😞

Thank you for the well wishes!

Oh nooooooo... What a horrible way to end a vacation.

Hope you're up and around soon. ❤

I think that kody looks ...somewhat decent here with his hair pulled back (we can't see all the receding hairline and fluff sticking out) and a real moustache.

I think that photo is the only place I've seen him look good with his hair pulled back.  On the show it looks hideous, IMO.  No matter how he wears his hair it looks hideous.  He really needs a makeover.

Sorry to hear about you and @DakotaJustice.  I broke my dominant arm in 2016 - both bones right through, sticking through the skin. 😮  Had to have emergency surgery, with plates and screws, couldn't do anything for myself.  Couldn't drive for months.  Hubbie had to help me shower.  I had to download voice recognition software to use my phone and computer.  Didn't have the use of my hand for months, then months of physical therapy.  It took close to a year to get back to somewhat normal.  Now I just have mild carpel tunnel but otherwise am OK.  So you both have my sympathies and hopes for a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much ladies! It actually happened my first DAY of vacation but I thought it was just a sprain so I tried RICEing it without success. It's a closed fracture thank God, I live alone (with cats). Ugh! 

Back on topic - he looks better in that photo because the lighting makes him look BALD which is a good look for him at this point. I bet Kody has the OPPOSITE opinion of that photo. He probably hates it because he looks bald. He needs to stop fighting it and embrace the dome look! 

At least he hasn't started with the bandannas...

I think we'll see the bandannas right around the same time he finds himself a 10 gallon hat and a white stallion to patrol his vast holdings on the Plains of Plague.

Ha! Doesn't Bret Michaels live in Arizona? They could hang out together.

You know if she ate a decent diet she could quit trying to find stuff to aid in her digestion.  Is she constantly battling constipation or diarrhea?
