S05.E20/S07: Where Are They Now? Milla & Charity LIVE CHAT Parts 1 & 2

[PrincessPurrsALot]

One night only!  We will reopen this LIVE CHAT during tonight's showings of the Milla and Charity supersized edition.  So many Pounders missed the initial showing last week (Thanks TLC execs with the inability to correctly label your product across multiple media!), that we decided to run a LIVE CHAT tonight. 

If you haven't seen this yet, this is your chance to snark along with the Pounder Pound!  Will Milla walk again?  Will her exceptionally sweet children snap and smother her in her sleep?  Will Charity lose her wings?  What will happen with her boyfriend? Will her daughter, Charly, battle her for the heaviest person in the family?  Let's find out!

This thread will be open during the US East Coast showing and again during the US West Coast showing.

Part 2 Episode Description:

Quote

Milla is grieving the loss of her husband, Elroy, and still dependent on her children.  Charity is in a deep depression while her daughter, Charly, is battling food addiction. Can they turn things around and reach their goals? 

[Guest]

My eating habit tonight was pasta and wine neither of which was acquired from a drive-though window. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

My eating habit is office snacks since I am watching from work.  Times when I am very glad to have a privacy screen. 

[Donut Bear]

What is this show?  Is this a Where Are They Now?  New or a repeat?

[Brooklynista]

Hey y'all doing? So Milla's still not walking huh?

Why walk? What will they want her to do after she walks? Get a job? Be a productive member of society?

[fonfereksglen]

I think everyone should own a four handled orange tarp .... just in case!

This is a where are they now on Milla and Charity.  This is part 2 which was show AFTER Kelly's episode so we did not realize it was new.  TLC!!!!!!!! [shakes paw at sky!]

[Donut Bear]

Oh of course she has a fiancé. 

[Guest]

Oh, god. This must be a supersize episode where we get fascinating bon mots like "Charly likes to play Bingo with her mom."

[fonfereksglen]

After all the flooding, are they sure about Cedar Rapids?

Well, she does own that sexy black lace top that she inexplicably wore to Dr. Now's office.  

[Guest]

Supersized fun fact!

"Charlie likes living in Houston to be close to the beach because Cedar Rapids doesn't have one."

This "No Shit, Sherlock" moment has been brought you by TLC.

[Ivylady]

Just popping in to say good for Esau for staying in Houston. Milla was going to turn him into her permanent caretaker if he didn't. And her feeling abandoned? Made me want to slap her. Your kids are supposed to be free as adults, not tethered to you.

They've been doing this on other shows too, and it's playing havoc with my DVR scheduling.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Watching Charity walk makes my joints hurt!

[Donut Bear]

What is wrong with this Mila person that she has to be transported in a tarp.  She is not that huge, why can’t she at least stand up.  Were her feet amputated? Maybe it’s the “stress”

How Milla feels being toted around on her tarp:

[DC Gal in VA]

Late to the party, but I'm here. Oh now I get the reference to orange tarp! Milla still not walking and Dr. Now is still not accepting her bullshit!

We were supposed to be at a screening of Star Trek II this evening.  Then William Shatner was going to talk to us.  Sadly, it was cancelled last week.  Bummer.

[sagittarius sue]

Get on your goddamn feet Milla!  I can't believe this theme continues.

[Guest]

Cedar Rapids, IA—No, we don't have a beach, but we do have lots of inbreeding.

Perhaps he wasn't up for it.  Amazingly, he turned 88 a couple weeks ago.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

At this weight, Charity could perhaps consider a bra.  Even a sports bra that actually fit would be a big improvement. 

[Donut Bear]

Wait. Is Charly’s father Charity’s husband??

I have been thinking that someone should start a fund...I just want to SUPPORT her...

Major Trekkie here and that's a tragedy!

[Guest]

Moment of silence please as I'm sending all my love to my mother right now 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

@fonfereksglen I do hope that when you learned the Star Trek event was cancelled, you reacted like this:

 

[Guest]

And TLC can please stop with telling me that Charly liked to spend her time at a Cedar Rapids library. Because the only thing Charly was doing at a library was getting high behind the trash cans out back near the parking lot.

[DC Gal in VA]

How much do Charity and Charly weigh? Charly looks huge, way bigger than Charity. OMG Dusty is huge!

[Ivylady]

"Tooken care of" - sigh.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

My favorite moment is Charly laughing because she cannot get it into the stream.  Ah, the deep emotions expressed by a flaming bag on a pier!

Yup.  What is really weird is BBCA is showing that movie....right now.

[Donut Bear]

This Iowa group should be on Family by the Ton

[Guest]

So...what's the over/under that Dusty will be featured next season on My 600-lb Life?

They might be the future two ton family.

[DC Gal in VA]

What I look like in my Star Trek fantasies:

Hey, a girl can dream, right? 😊

[PrincessPurrsALot]

That's a solid 1100 pounds of family on those couches.  

[DC Gal in VA]

Silly suggestion: why doesn't Milla at least get a walker and use it to just stand and/or take a few steps every day?

Perhaps another 300 with the girl she put to bed.

If I were getting a free ride around my house, I'd be loathe to pass that up. But I can't seem to train my cats to do that...not just yet, anyway.

[Ivylady]

In other news, watching this show has gotten me re-dedicated to working out after about an 18 month hiatus. Currently doing 30 minutes of movement daily for April to ease back into it.

Just wait!

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh Hell I could tell from here that Charly wasn't even close to 350 pounds. Charity's weight loss is only 9 pounds but a 447 total weight loss is amazing.

Hmm, now where have I seen someone selling things like this, for plus-sized women?
