It reminds me to get up and move. 10000 steps before I can have a glass of wine. Mr. Judgey bought me a Fitbit a couple of years ago for Christmas. Really made me realize how much I wasn’t moving. Since then, I’ve lost 20 lbs and try to get between 15,000-20,000 steps a day. Link to comment
Carrie January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 This episode is different because the people are intelligent and insightful: hence, boring. Link to comment

Ugh She could have done her best but it could still have been very harmful to Alicia. When all you hear is “you’d be so pretty if you just lost the weight “ it can feel like your parent’s love and approval is completely conditional on you losing weight and fitting your parent’s view of perfection. (Yeah, ask me how I know. ) 2 Link to comment

I missed the first 50 minutes of this show (likely missing nothing though) but is Tim her boyfriend or her found-on-Craigslist caretaker? Link to comment

Standard Staples January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 The producers will counter-program this boring, drama free episode with the latest "owwhh mah legs!" patient next week. I'm sure of it. Link to comment
AnnaBaptist January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 Did you know that she is nervous to step on the scale today? She is a nice person, so I shouldn't snark on her, but she is very repetitious. Link to comment

My mom certainly wouldn't have handled that so well. Link to comment

Walking an hour around my condo complex - or 45 minutes on the eliptical at the gym - is not even 5000 steps. Well done! Link to comment

Jeeves January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 (edited) Oh, good. Not so snarkworthy but I'm happy at the end of this episode. She looks so much bettter with the 150+ (i lost track of the #s) pound loss, including in her face. Good for her. Edited January 25, 2018 by Jeeves Link to comment

I work with a very large (OK, obese woman) she wears the same shoes everyday, they are blown out like Alicia's. We pitched in and gave her a gift certificate for DSW, but she still wears those same blow out shoes. Must be comfortable but I wouldn't think so. Link to comment

Jeeves January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 I see a difference in her face in particular. Maybe not so much the rest of her, but as noted she's short and has some serious extra skin hanging on there which I assume is why Dr. Now's talking about skin removal at that point. Link to comment
