That stomach thing is called a panniculus. They do cut them off sometimes. I wonder if that's what Dr. Now will start with.

He has to start with that I would think. She can lose all the weight she wants but that panniculus isn't going anywhere.

I’m here, but can’t comment because of hand injury.  

[Kid]

I feel sorry for her son.  He seems like such a loving soul and a cute young man.

Hey!  If I want classy, I'll go watch a BBC documentary narrated by someone with "Sir" or "Lord" in their name.  I'm here for train-wreck television, and that means no undies.

[Miracle Maxie]

Can we just get to Dr. Now’s office already? I have less and less patience with these preliminaries because they’re all the same. 

[jnagle4]

I have candy in the house. Do you know how often I buy candy? Once every four months, BECAUSE I AM NOT LYING IN MY BED DOWNING REESE'S PIECES LIKE THEY ARE GOING OUT OF STYLE

[Ellie Godfrey]

Uh-oh! I bought a bunch of candy for my nephew's Easter basket. I'm going to raid it right now.

Part of the problem: None of these people eat at the table.

I know it's just my own peculiarity, but I find the idea of eating in bed so disgusting. And eating laying down is so weird, how does she not get food all over herself?

[peaceknit]

What kind of bread was that?

No.  No I will not.

I might as well go for the deluxe limo to hell.  One good thing about these people is if there is a plane wreck, the rest of the passengers won't starve while waiting for rescue.  She would have been very desirable on the Donner pass.

Good grief - it never ceases to amaze me how different people's bodies get. Poor Amber had huge legs and you could barely see her feet, Tamy's got a stomach down to her ankles...  Why don't people stop eating when they see things are getting out of hand? I don't understand it. They don't have to be skinny, but damn...

Jeez - watching her stomach roll between her legs... 

My husband passed away suddenly (not unlike Tamy's father) when my son was 14. I wanted to step away from reality, but I had a child, who was having his own issues dealing with loss. I had to pick myself up and function because he was a KID. He was my responsibility. I couldn't be a mess because one of us had to be the adult, pay bills, make meals, etc.  and there was no one else around but me.

If her mom had been a mom, maybe Tamy wouldn't be this way. You don't need a degree in psychology to know that children suffering loss need stability and attention. 

[chickenella]

 I'm speechless over the Christmas card. ?

[Snarkastikate]

If I heard right,  they are divorced  but she couldn't make it on her own,  so ex let her move in with him.   If these people didnt have enablers they'd be in nursing homes.

I would not eat her.  Gross.

Kentucky. She’s in Kentucky. We’re going to have another half-hour of transportation issues. I think I may be over this show. 

[Guest]

LOL "I'll be devastated if Dr Now doesn't take me on as a patient." What? You think these camera people are filming you for American Idol?

[chickenella]

At least she can walk,  that's half the battle.  Or at least part of it. 

[aliya]

Well, compared to a lot of folks on here, she cleaned up pretty well for the trip to Houston.

[shouldbedancing]

I don't understand why the car trips are so hard. You literally just sit there like you sit in bed all day.

Easter is the most dangerous candy holiday. I got a bunch of chocolate-dipped Peeps and Hershey chocolate eggs yesterday.

I will occasionally drink cocoa sitting on my bed on a weekend morning but I rarely bring food into my bedroom. Usually the only thing edible in there is a glass of water.

[poeticlicensed]

I thought she had 2 kids. Where's the other one ?

Her fat could also be used for fuel....

[Azubah]

Jeez, they aren't even rewriting the script anymore.

[Frabbergasted]

In profile, her hanging stomach looks like she has some beach ball sized lady nuts.  It must be horribly uncomfortable, but I guess not enough to stop shoveling mountains of food in her face.

[Smoothcoat]

3...2...1....they'll stop for fast food

[LordOfLotion]

Just now, MsVixen said:

Or soap.

Yeah, I wonder that too.

So many jokes here....

[CringeWatcher]

My chihuahua and I need our eyeballs replaced after seeing that Christmas pic. Seriously. W.T.H.

[Lizz]

How could she fit in a bathroom stall at that rest area??

[CouchTater]

Just now, ChickenLatte99 said:

I know.  I meant that in so many ways.

[Concerned]

She’s short of breath, but at least she’s walking. And she’s wearing shoes unlike some of the other nasty people. Overheating must be a real problem, a 600 pound mass gives out plenty of heat. Also, why are so many from Kentucky?

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I can’t imagine a life where just walking to the bathroom leaves me in such a bad state that my companions are asking if I need them to call the paramedics. That’s such a sad existence.

Have you seen Tyler Durden? :)

Is Zachary the younger one? I'm guessing the other is an adult; either doesn't live at home anymore or didn't want to be on the show would be my guess.

Those handicapped stalls are huge. I can take my double stroller in one with no problem. 

[elly1517]

If I heard correctly they stopped for the night in Nashville. They started in Covington, KY. That's about a 4 hr drive.

Maybe she ate him.

Probably was eaten....

[CouchTater]

Why do they "cliff-hanger" the show at the initial weigh-in, when they show the weight at the beginning of the show?

[Miracle Maxie]

Is the other child the one with special needs? Wonder if he’s institutionalized.

This show could be great if they didn't resort to the same old clichés but I guess they figure if it ain't broke....

No, I think Zachary (the one who's with them) is special needs.

[Katydid]

I feel cheated that we didn't get a fast food feast stop en route to Houston.

No Zachary has special needs- he appears at least moderately functioning (able to address the camera appropriately) but anyone with experience with the population can tell.
