S05.E17: Where Are They Now? Teretha & Chad LIVE CHAT

[sainte-chapelle]

Chad seems to be doing well but driving a truck is the worst job for someone trying to lose weight, I had a friend in university who drove during the summer and gained almost 60 pounds in 3 months.

 Ive got a bad feeling about her weight

"I've been working really hard and I know I've made progress." Famous last words for a lot of these people. 

eta - Gaining 19 lbs in several (3?) months. What the heck are they eating? I can see gaining 5 lbs or so from not paying attention, but you have to do some serious eating to gain 19. For most people, you'd be out of your clothes if you did that. Something would tell you it's time to step away from the donuts when you couldn't button your clothes anymore.

The things you learn snarking on 600 lb life, lol.

HA! I think we should all watch this show without pants!

 

Hey sounds good to me! And mom being 87, she may be pantless before the night is over! ?

This is a highly educational show. Just maybe not in the ways it was intended.

Michigan shout out!  I'm in West Michigan though... but I do drink Faygo  (and no I'm not a Juggalo).

Where abouts, Armchair?  My brother and sister-in-law went to Grand Valley and lived on that side of the state for awhile.

I'm between Detroit and Ann Arbor now, so it's conceivable that I could have Band-Aid accessories, but I don't.  I swear!

I am drinking a diet Faygo right now!

Hi Mom A. We must figure  out a way for you to have your own show.

We drink Faygo in Wisconsin as well.  Unfortunately, we have Juggalos who get so messed up they lop off fingers as a ritual rite.  Seriously.

Grand Rapids, not far from Grand Valley.

I'm not wearing pants.  I am wearing a dress tho.

[Dashing Off]

Chad's legs are huge. Maybe it's just the way he's sitting?

2 UM degrees here and relatives by marriage near A2 and in the UP.  It's a small world.

They must have told Chad his tagline is he's doing it so he can take care of his wife and family.

That's where my brother lived (and South Bend).

My sister lived in GR, too.  It's a nice town, and has really grown since they lived there (15-ish years ago).

[sainte-chapelle]

Chad noooo find a new job! 

[hoosiermom]

I have almost finished a bag of Linder truffles. I got diagnosed with Shingles today so I decided I deserved them! (A pitiful excuse I know)

[Threnners]

You ain't foolin Dr. Now Chad!   He just got your number!

Doesn't your weight loss slow down though when you get thinner?

Teretha's still not walking !  Shocking!

Tons of craft beer restaurants and such here now, ironically I'm not a beer drinker. But we are close to beaches and we're getting cultured up in this joint. ;)

[Kid]

Teretha is really aggravating me!!

Oh no!  Sorry to hear that Hoosiermom.  I hear that can be uncomfortable, to say the least.

[Dashing Off]

What up with the bandage on Teretha's forehead?

[hoosiermom]

Drag her ass out of that bed!

[poeticlicensed]

Just get up! Jeez!

YIKES, I'm sorry for you. That commercial where they say you have Shingles in you if you've had Chicken Pox scares the crap out of me. 

[Anchorabu]

Teretha: "I want to get out of this bed."

Mom: "Then lose weight. And hey, maybe get out of bed."

Oh no.  That is awful. I woke up with my back all out of whack, so now I am on a prednisone high.  Because of the drug problems, they will now give me all the steroids I want.  Unreal.

[Azubah]

I can't believe Now is even considering doing a revision to her surgery if she won't walk. That's a blood clot just waiting to happen.

[CouchTater]

I'm trying to watch the show, monitor this forum (which is waaaay more entertaining), and get some work done because I have been slacking on my work-from-home day.

So apparently I missed this:  did they weigh Terethia when she came to the hospital?  Had she lost anything?

Edited April 27, 2017 by CouchTater

[DC Gal in VA]

Wait, why the Hell wasn't Teretha ALREADY in rehab to help her stand and walk?. Sometimes this show makes no sense!

[Brooklynista]

The one thing these people all seem to have in common is they cant deal with the slightest bit of discomfort. How healed does Teretha need to be to get out of that damn bed??

[Smoothcoat]

Oh, Chad don't back slide!! I'm tired already of Teretha's bullshit. Just do it, lady!

Absolutely it does but Chad is still quite large and should be losing quite a bit. I remember Dr. Now being concerned when Christina was losing double digits when she was around 200 as she was losing too much too quickly.

Nope, she gained 20 pounds and of course the scale must have been wrong.

[Yolo]

That no one understands excuse is some straight up bullshit, sick of hearing it already!!?????????????

Teretha is still not getting out of bed? I'm shocked! (/end sarcasm)

[Kid]

"I want to get out of this bed  and I don't think Dr. Now understands that. " Maybe sprinkling her with some fairy dust will make it happen! 

Chad better get back on the program. He starting to rationalize everything he is doing.

She probably won't do it. 

[Armchair Critic]

I bought a huge case of bottled water this week and have been drinking Crystal Lite, trying to substitute that for soda. With my luck now I will get cancer from the artificial sweetener. But watching this show does help scare me straight because if I didn't have to work I would probably lay on the couch and read books, watch tv, and play online while snacking too.

Ugh ignore the spoiler things below, I accidentally clicked on it.
