Still looks like bloat face to me..

I don't get why she just wouldn't run down to the local gas station and fill up the tank. She could have picked up her Dr Pepper 73oz cup and grabbed some snackies. Also, isn't BBQ on a charcoal grill whereas grilling is on a propane grill?

I don't know what she was grilling, was that steak? Looked like it would have been as tough as Christines skin, the legs looked ok, I am not a fan of the legs or thighs myself ( unless its on John Stamos )

So nice to see you back, @Mahamid Frauded Me ! (or maybe you've been posting, I still have lots to catch up on...)

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

Thanks @Teafortwo Funny how when I was unemployed, I really didn't comment or post too much, now that I am employed again, I am back at it. As long as these dillywags give me something to post about, I will be here!

I still buy and prepare too much 😂

You would think if cooking is such a chore, she would make enough to eat for several days.  The way I work, I rely on leftovers, Yes I've cooked enough to eat for 7 days.  Yes it gets boring, but it's already made and all I have to do is dish it up into a container and eat for lunch.

[deirdra]

I've been working long hours and cooking large batches & freezing the rest in single servings for 40 years so that I can always pull out something and have a meal ready in minutes. Stews, casseroles, soups and  cooked meat & poultry.  I'll roast a whole chicken or beef roast and slice or dice it into single servings. A frozen serving keeps the salad dressing cold until I dump it into my unwilted dry salad for lunch. I typically have 5 or 6 different things in the freezer so it doesn't get boring.

I save a lot of money and I don't spend all my time cooking and washing pots & pans.

I do the same thing. As a single person that doesn't eat a lot of food, I make batches of things and freeze single serving size containers. Always have several meals in the freezer. I've taken to putting wax paper notes inside to tell date frozen. Gotta rotate the things out...

I’m no professional, but I can prepare an impressive plate of healthy and delicious food. I’ve actually photographed a few, but not for social media.  I might send Janelle some tips. 😝 I might post one around here to get feedback, if I can locate them.  Hey, I just realized..is there money to be made doing this kind of thing? Lol

Wow!  The last 7 year have been hard ones on Janelle, apparently!  She looks really good in the picture (I know Savannah is blocking her belly, but still.).

It's a nice family photo.  And is Kody holding Janelle's purse??  That's so funny (and cute) to me.

Perhaps she can now that COVID restrictions are lifting.  The last year they've been stuck for much of it.  Hopefully getting back in the classroom will help, too.  What will Janelle do home all day with no one, but the dog?

I know the question is rhetorical, but I can think of a number of snarky replies. The chief one being, the same as she does now! :-p

Logan, Hunter, Aspyn and Mariah have graduated with college degrees. Logan also has an MBA and Hunter is getting his masters in nursing.  Mariah was working on her masters in social work but no current status on that.... Maddie and Garrison have attended college sporadically.  Gabe, Gwen, and Aurora currently attend NAU.  Dayton did attend NAU but it's not certain whether he still does. I'd assume that Ysabel will attend NAU this fall, although I haven't seen it posted anywhere saying where she will attend college.

Oh my!  That’s pretty impressive.

Janelle, just in case you didn't know - that's a peony, not a vegetable.  Do not throw it in your air-fryer and douse it in ranch dressing.  You're welcome.

Janelle is just not good at this because she doesn’t stick with anything long enough to be believable. She DOESN’T change, she stays the same—an unhealthy, obese house-mouse. 

I freaking can’t stand posers, especially ones who want to charge people money for their fake bullshit. Show us some results, Janelle, THEN people will applaud and maybe follow you.

Janelle stresses that losing inches, not pounds is what is important.  Forgive my lack of knowledge about weight loss journeys, but doesn't it stand to reason that if you lose inches, you would consequently also lose pounds?

Unless, you lose inches in say, your bustline only to pick up those lost inches in your belly.  It would not be a lie then to say that you lost inches, just a lie of omission not to mention that you found them redistributed elsewhere on your body.

[SunnyBeBe]

Ref, Janelle looking up a lot.....I have a friend who used to be somewhat overweight. She had a double chin and hated it. I noticed that she always had her head held high in photos. It was very obvious. One day she told me she did it so her chin wouldn’t be so obvious. Lol.  Years later she lost a ton of weight. I mean from around 180 to 120.  I think she’s kept if off too.  

[Teafortwo]

The FDA should crack down on the pink drink. It sounds dangerous. I once dated a guy who was into this so-called energy drink called Verve. It contained so much caffeine that it was a miracle he didn't have a heart attack he drank so much of it. The company that hawked it, Vemma, was an MLM. I think my friend was the only person who actually drank the product. It supposedly contained some sort of exotic fruit from the African rainforest or something but that was pretty much it, aside from the massive amount of caffeine.  I tasted it once and it was disgusting, but I find that Red Bull tastes disgusting too so there's that.

Lol it was actually called "Verve!" The exclamation point I find amusing. I looked it up. Here are the ingredients:

• 80 mg natural guarana caffeine.
• 1 g taurin amino acid.
• 12 full-spectrum vitamins.
• 65 plant-sourced minerals and trace minerals.
• 120 mg natural guarana caffeine.
• 45 kcal and only 5 g of natural sweeteners.
• Mangosteen superfruit
• Aloe vera   
• Now I'm off to look up the pink drink ingredients

You can lose inches without losing weight by losing voluminous fat while building tight muscles, but that doesn't happen if you sit on the couch all day.

And also, most women aren’t going to build muscle replacement pounds easily unless they’re on some body building program (not our Janelle). If Janelle loses inches, she’ll likely have weight loss to show for it. 

But to an extent I agree with her—one has to track their progress somehow. If she chooses inches, great. I just haven’t seen a difference in her in years, so she’s not a good spokesperson for anything yet.

LOL taurine (I'm assuming they misspelled) is not even an amino acid. I spent an entire summer memorizing those little sh*ts, their structures, and I immediately red-flagged "taurin amino acid." Taurine is something called an "amino sulfonic acid," but I guess "amino acid" sounds "sciency enough" without being "too sciency," so they went with that for marketing.

Yep, "taurin" was their misspelling, intentional or not.

"...a man who was willing to shoulder the responsibility... stepped up and my mom remarried".  Not very heartfelt, isn't it? If they didn't get along, why did she even mention him?

I just found the obituary of Merlin Fryer, said "person who stepped up and took responsibility" for Janelle's mom and her two daughters and there is no mention of Janelle. He is "survived by his parents and his daughters and Mericia, Myra, and Carrie" (who is Janelle's sister). Makes me wonder....

That made me wonder too when I found it after Janelle's mother died.  I suspect Merlin, Mericia, Myra, and Carrie ditched Janelle when she foresook their religion for the Polygamist Cult of Kody. 

It is curious that Janelle didn't mention Kootie's father, who she did have contact with, or her own childrens' sperm donor. Or do they both fall in the "all the different kinds of dads" category.

A couple years ago janelle posted something about a man in her life dying of cancer but I’m not sure if it was that step dad…. Was it her mother who was also married to Kodys dad?

what did Kodys dad die from?… maybe it was him she was referring to… they have such complicated families.

Fryer's obituary is from 1995. 

Sheryl and Winn partnered in 92, a few months before Janelle and Kody married in 93. Both entered  polygamy, so that may be why they weren't listed in obit.

I think I’m confused… Janelle had her bio dad who died when she was 3, then she had a step dad, then her mom married Kodys dad?

so she’s had 3 dads?

There was Janelle’s father, he passed away. Then she remarried, and they divorced. Then she married Kody’s father. So technically 3 dads.

Janelle’s mother’s obituary mentions the step dad’s children, but his did not mention Janelle and her siblings.

An odd “family” in many ways.

Understatement of the year, for sure!  First her mom marries her soon to be father-in-law, then she divorces her brother-in-law to marry Kody, technically her step-brother.  Do I have that right?

Here’s part of Janelle’s mother’s obituary:

[Adiba]

I think Janelle was shunned from Merlin's family when she joined the AUB from mainstream LDS, and that's why they didn't mention her in his obit. AFAIK, Carrie is still mainstream LDS so I guess she got to be included.

It says that Janelle's mother was sealed to Janelle's father in the LDS temple, so does that mean she goes to his planet and not Winn's in the afterlife? Or does it not count because she converted?

Ha ha.  Once Janelle was posting a pic of one of her rockstar dinner recipes but in the background you could see every surface covered with dirty plates, half eaten lunches & breakfasts.  It took weeks to get that picture out of my head ... but now I've conjured it back, along with the rusted pots.
