[WhitneyWhit]

At least she walked through the store instead of taking out customers and merchandise with an out of control scooter.

 Plus, he has a job and isn’t repulsive. 

We stopped asking for much, didn't we?

[Kid]

At least she is honest with him.  I understand what he saying about enabling, but the boyfriend can’t make her stop eating.    All he can do is quit paying for the food.

[Arynm]

Dr. Now was about to go all in on the boyfriend until she said he doesn't buy any of her food.

[Azubah]

Eh, I think Dr. Now is jamming on the boyfriend as enabler. We've seen LOTS worse enablers.

[Carrie]

Though pretty, she is very obese and was raped as a young woman so one would imagine she is enotionally damaged  - nevertheless she seems relatively self-assured.  She doesn't seem to suffer from an "I'm worthless and don't deserve a decent guy" syndrome.  ( News flash- the boyfriend does work!!) 

I hate to complain about Dr. Now but 5 ' 4" is the average  height for a woman in this country.  I think he is exaggerating greatly that she is tantamount to an 800- lb "average sized" woman.  

[PeaceLily2]

Active partner = sex. Ugh

Well, she’s not a whiner and complainer yet.  Compared to other men we’ve seen on here, Tim’s a real catch.  But does he work or not?  They’ve said both. 

Yes he works

She was an adorable  child and her mother looks very young'!  Anyone notice the theme of "fatherlessness" running in parallel with childhood molestation?

or the boyfriend.......

She said that he took off a week of work.

[Donut Bear]

Just pack up and move.  Easy. Who needs a job?

[Miracle Maxie]

I’m getting tired of Dr Now not believing the patients. 

[Hero]

She's honest about what she's eaten and didn't lie to Dr. Now, I appreciate that. 

[preciousperfect]

It’s a very low bar for the men on this show but so far they actually seem like a nice couple.

And doesn't consider grocery shopping 'romantic'

To be fair so many of them lie, that when he gets someone who takes responsibility I think he assumes that they are lying.  I really hope she loses the 50lbs and proves him wrong.

Where's CPS when there's a 160 pound 7 year old walking around?

Probably trying to prevent other 7 year olds from being beaten to death. It's not like they have a ton of resources for social services.

I think he goes into the room expecting the worst, and most of the time, he gets it. He's vey pessimistic and it's understandable. It's hard to be positive when so many of your patients lie about everything.

I wonder if Tim will quit his job and move to Houston with her or go back to Illinois where his job is?

[CalpurniaF]

Tim does seem too good to be true.

[navine]

Hi all!  First time posting.   ............ If she does the shopping why is Dr. N going on about "enabling"?

[poeticlicensed]

That shake looks gross

[hoosiermom]

It would be easier to use a cup to mix that stuff in.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I’d love to know what formula Dr. Now uses to determine how much weight they should lose. They’re all roughly in the same neighborhood weight-wise, but I’ve seen the weight loss requirement range from 20-150 lbs. It seems so arbitrary.

He probably hears so much bullshit, that his meter is broken.  And some folks are just like that.  I maaaaaay have said earlier today “I’ve usually never gone wrong assuming people are that stupid.”  Dr. Now is probably just as cynical as I am.

That being said, I’m rooting for this chick.

[PeaceLily2]

She doesn’t seem like she has lost weight.  

[55Unicorns]

So...she's back home to do it herself, right?

[Arynm]

She sounds like she is killing it. The scale will tell the tale, I really hope she does well.

[poeticlicensed]

I hope that's cauliflower mash and not potatoes

[PeaceLily2]

Break up on the way. 

[Donut Bear]

Does anyone on this show ever sit down and eat at a table?

[zoemom]

Carbs + Sweets = Happiness,

She's going to eat all that food by herself?  How do these folks afford all this fast food?

[Brooklynista]

Why dont any of these folks GO OUTSIDE! People really arent the assholes we think they are and ya might just make a new friend. Get some social interaction going. It's terrible to lean on one person as your entire social circle.

[Azubah]

She needs a support group.

[ChickenLatte99]

Drifting apart=I don't want her to get skinny and leave me

[hoosiermom]

Wasn't she that size when he met her?

When I first saw him I was thinking he's another closeted gay man with an obese woman, but now I'm not so sure.

That was a big pile of something. If that was potatoes, she’s definitely not following Dr. Now’s diet.

Or stand when they cook?

Not to mention the "exercise" (even though marginal) she could get from walking even short distances.

[Arynm]

She is very tan on her arms so she must go outside sometimes.

[peaceknit]

Finally, someone with a clean house.

[Threnners]

I am hoping that big pile was mashed cauliflower.

[55Unicorns]

Oh, oh...the scale doesn't lie...

Really,I'm sick of I'm home alone and so bored. Take a damn walk.

No and they’re usually laying in bed. 

[hoosiermom]

They are driving back and forth to Houston? Damn

[Threnners]

Welp, it was potatoes.
