Irate Panda April 8, 2018 Share April 8, 2018 It would normally be a “good” thing Whitney’s is working out/moving but I still don’t get why Will or his daughter think this is a good look for their gym. Whitney looks like she’s going to injure herself at every move and her trainer isn’t correcting her form or at least it’s not being shown. I never took Whitney seriously but I’d now have to include Will and his gym in the equation. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55723-social-media-whats-up-with-her/page/77/#findComment-4215939

When she did the 8K she started power walking right from the start, or when Will had her run up all those stairs, I'm not a trainer but I would think someone of her size should start slowly and work on her form.

I think Sevencostanza is referring to the second video - the one I linked? It looks like some kind of lat pull down. She has a cable gripped in each hand and she is pulling them down simultaneously. She's doing it so fast and so easily that I assume there was no real resistance involved, so she isn't actually strengthening her back, which is what a lat pull down is supposed to do.

aliya April 9, 2018 Share April 9, 2018 From the video, "How can we stop people's worlds from shrinking?" Well, you could manage your weight better. We've got disabled veterans coming back from Afghanistan who may really need information about accessibility, but you need an app because you can't close your mouth? My PhD is in information science. I know a number of people who do research on accessibility technology (including creating apps that address needs for different abilities). I don't think any of them create apps for large people. Now, there may be some need for this population to know where there's an accessible bathroom, but for the rest of this, jeez louise... We frequently ask ourselves why don't people 'wake up' when they are 300/400 pounds. Now we see why. Why should they when they can just app their way around town? I had a former student who was very similar to the spokesperson in the video. Sadly, she passed away a year ago. She needed special seating in class because she couldn't fit the regular desk. A number of students went from class to jobs (this was grad school), so I let them eat during class. She would spread out so much food on her table. I wanted to say something, but it's hard - you say the wrong thing and they've got the disability people down on you for daring to bring up the topic. Alas, it wasn't a wake up call when she couldn't fit in a desk, it wasn't a wake up call when we discussed insulin and she was taking tons of it due to her poor eating, it wasn't a wake up call when the other students had a sandwich and fruit for lunch and she had a big take out spread. I am sorry about what happened to her and don't know if anything I could have said would have made a difference. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55723-social-media-whats-up-with-her/page/77/#findComment-4217655

I don’t know why she doesn’t just make her page private, so all her fans can just stroke her ego to their hearts content without having the disruption of people who don’t buy into the bullshit she is selling. Of course that would mean less attention and what else are her fans gonna do all day besides defend her honor.

Haha!! So true! When you mentioned the famous 100, it reminded me of something! Remember Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite? He was always living in his past HS football star days. That’s like Whitney with her Prom Princess days and her 100lbs weight loss. “I lost 100lbs before, I already lost 100lbs, Remember when I lost 100lbs, I was Prom Princess, Remember how pretty I looked in my coral dress when I was Prom Princess!” Just like Uncle Rico!

Ketzel April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 (edited) Alas, poor Whitney! She is complaining on instagram that she is getting many nastygrams (directly, not posted, so don't you all go off searching for them on her SM!!) of "an accusatory nature." She says these people say her postings of her work-outs don't show the "full picture" of her alleged attempts to be healthy because she doesn't show her meal information. "Why," all these terrible people ask, "if you work out so much, aren't you losing weight? Could it be your diet, hmmm?" I love her response to this "attack"-by possibly non-existent "haterz." It's so typically Whitneyesque. She begins by haughtily informing them that they will never know the "full" story, even if they watch her show, because she is filmed for over 1000 hours for each season, and the show only uses about 20% of the video. Sure, fine, heard that before. But what does it mean with respect to your diet? Quoth Whitney, "The majority of instances anyone is shown eating are social situation, [sic] or meals had out while dining." Sooo, is she saying that when she is not eating out (BBQ with Jenzi?) or eating in social situation (Fried chicken with Nada and the barnacles? Whole boxes of macaroni with cheese and mayonnaise in her mother's kitchen? Wasn't she alone then?) she is eating impeccably healthy and calorie appropriate meals? That if we got to see the other 80% of the video, it would document her healthy eating habits? Nope. Instead she is avoiding the question, by going off on a tangent, accusing her detractors of being naïve when it comes to understanding the complex life of a television reality star. Quoth Whitney "You also never see me shower, or go to the drugstore, or brush my teeth, or feed my cats, or read a book (or WRITE a book, for that matter), or sleep—are you to believe I don’t do those things, either, just because you didn’t see them?" Well, we've seen couple of them, as I recall. Hard to forget you howling for Buddy when you couldn't get out of the shower. But I decline to further pursue your tangent. The question was this: "You are posting how hard you are working out, but we can see with our eyes that you don't seem to be losing any weight. So what's up with your diet?" Your non-response implies you have a whole other life where you are eating a healthy appropriate diet that we simply don't get to see. Which I guess leads to weight loss that you are also somehow concealing from the public? Huh. You then repeat a litany of your greatest hits, the reasons why weight loss is so difficult for you. PCOS, of course. You repeat that claim like a mantra, like saying it often enough will make it true. Sorry, but it's worn a little thin, instead. (Joke) PCOS does not cause anyone to become morbidly obese. Like insulin resistance (another of your reasons) it makes it harder to lose weight once weight is gained. It still takes a whole lot of poor eating choices to pack the weight on to that extent in the first place. And weight loss is routinely prescribed to improve both conditions - so what's up with your current diet? You again make much of the fact that your fabled 100 lb. weight loss was not an indication of improved diet (although you like to wave it around as proof of your success in weight loss) but the result of severely unhealthy disordered eating. I can readily believe that. But I question, as I have before, the conclusions you draw from that experience. Extreme weight loss done in an unhealthy way is not a model experience, or even a comparative experience to weight loss done in a healthy, consistent way. With proper supervision and accountability, you can lose weight without relapsing into whatever eating disorder or disorders you fear. So what's up with your current diet? You "typically eat no more than once or twice a day," but you are working on more regular eating habits? I doubt there is anyone in your life who believes this is the truth. (What happened to the claim that you only eat after 9:00PM? Too much documentation that it isn't so for even you to maintain?) Here's the thing - it takes some work but it isn't THAT hard to establish healthy eating habits. It takes motivation, which you claim to have, but I am not so sure. You are getting a lot of positive feedback for being your size. That's hard for anyone to release, possibly in exchange for criticism. But would you rather be criticized and unhealthy or criticized and healthy?*** It's the nature of the internet that someone will be taking shots at you. It take willpower - real willpower. Because you are going to have to plan your meals ahead and then produce them yourself. Grocery shopping, recipe research, storage and prep work. You will have to schedule stopping for appropriate meals at routine times. No more fueling yourself all day on high-calorie coffee drinks, and snacks while believing this means you aren't "eating," only to overeat on junk the few occasions you consider as "meals." Eating healthy is a big demand on your time. But it isn't intrinsically hard. You claimed to have all the willpower in the world when it came to starving yourself. Where is it now that you need it to nurture yourself? What IS up with your current diet? ***Yeah, yeah, I know - HAES, thin people get (fill in the blank) too, fat shaming etc. etc. I could drive a truck through the logical flaws in those arguments, but this post is already ridiculously long.

SouthernCross April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 It is weird that she posts all of these 30 second workout clips (and I believe that is the extent of the “working out”) yet you never see the diet portion at all.....and we all know why.

Great post Ketzel! I agree and believe 2 things are going on with her eating habits. A) She has a major food addiction and doesn’t want to eat healthy 2) She so super lazy and doesn’t want to take the time to go out and buy healthy food and then take time to prepare healthy meals. PS. I’m so sick of her PCOS excuse. She lies so much that she can’t keep her stories straight! Her story is that she was always in shape until she went to college and put on 100lbs and found out it was from PCOS. We all know this is complete crap. From her own big mouth, she said when she was in 3rd grade that they sang the baby beluga song to her. Then she said another time in grammar school that she overheard girls in the bathroom making fun of her. So Twitney which is it? Did you always struggle with your weight because you’ve had a life long addiction to food OR is it PCOS? Most people know the PCOS excuse is just that, an excuse. The only people that agree with her are people who are just like her, morbidly obese and full of excuses! They want to be able to eat and eat while believing the healthy at any size BS! Remember in Season 1 when she “dramatically” went missing for 2 hours and Buddy found her in a parking lot eating out of a TUB of Ice Cream. But it’s PCOS and all her other excuses that she’s 400lbs! “I do not have a food addiction” Twitney Edited April 10, 2018 by Kaia40 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55723-social-media-whats-up-with-her/page/77/#findComment-4221380

Meh...I honestly don’t care enough to get into hours long pissing contests with the self appointed defenders of all the assorted excuses there are for being morbidly obese. If you read long enough you will notice the same names pop up repeatedly on both sides of the issue. I find it a bit unhinged that anyone (on both sides) spends that much time on a show FB page repeating the same thing over and over dozens of time arguing and bickering with each other. Maybe they feel powerless in real life and FB is the only place where they can tell someone who is calling them fat to eff off.....no idea. I don’t get the impression that they are particularly happy. There is nothing I’m going to say that will change anyone’s mind. I’m also not interested in having these people hounding me via messenger or whatever. I know there have been harassment issues in the past.

Dot April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 Excellent commentary on Twit's latest FB screed, @Ketzel. Instead of pointing out all the routine things she does all day, she could have spent a lot less time -- and words -- answering the Q: what do you eat since you are exercising but not losing wgt? Of course, she will NEVER confess to all those fraps & "snackies" she ingests all day long. Really, Twit! Have you ever done a live video in your car -- favored location -- without a huge Starbucks cup grasped in one hand? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55723-social-media-whats-up-with-her/page/77/#findComment-4221384

In the indie author world we had some drama a couple of weeks ago with a cover designer having a breakdown.

I was wondering about that too. I think it’s a combination of things. She certainly exaggerates her criticisms, both the number and the content. She also immediately deletes any remotely negative comments on FB. I actually find that to be the most interesting part. If she is really getting lots of death threats and cruel posts, she’d get a lot more sympathy if she left them there for people to see. I think what she gets is legitimate questions confronting her lies and inconsistencies and constructive advice as to how to improve her health. She doesn’t want people to see that or face the reality that they are right, so she deletes them. Then because no one can see the actual comment, she can claim it is as cruel as she wants. No one can say ‘hey that isn’t meant to be mean. That person was trying to help you’. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55723-social-media-whats-up-with-her/page/77/#findComment-4221989
