I want a house with an indoor pool but I am unwilling to marry Benji to get it. 

We all have to make sacrifices. 

[ShortyMac]

David, stop putting your success and drive on Benji's progress! You're your own person! Do it for you! Stop with this, "I can't do this if Benji doesn't" BS!!!!

[poeticlicensed]

Sorry, but that is one unattractive family

And I wonder too - why do all of these people eat in the car? I mean, just go in and sit down. It's still fast food so you're not waiting on table service, but at least you eat something like a salad without trying to eat it on the shelf that is your stomach, propped up by the steering wheel it barely fits behind. 

HOW CAN THAT BE A SHOCK!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!?!?!?

They don't like to eat inside because others can see how much they eat in one sitting.

Oh me too. I love to swim but hate wearing my swim suit in public.

He had no choice as it was "cheat day."

They were really good over some fried rice-- it was OK because it was fried.

The daughter Lorelei looks like she doesn't belong with the rest of the family. She is quite thin, was jumping on the trampoline, and she had one enchilada on her plate.

Looks like weight loss surgery is happening for David. They had the warning sign at the end of the commercial break.

ITA about Lorelei. I thought it was so sweet and intelligent on her part to observe that the enchiladas looked a bit large so she only wanted to eat one and a half. Maybe she was trying to throw dear old dad a hint?

[MsVixen]

Hey Y'all!  If David is doing so well with the 1200 calorie diet, do you think he could keep doing that instead of having the surgery?  I know that eventually his amount of weight loss would decrease, but he really seems to have the mindset to lose the weight without surgery.  Maybe he could go to Weight Watchers.

Just me or do the women in the Kyleena IUD commercial make the stupidest faces?

It's not just you. On the other hand, one of those dresses was totally cute, like an updated Jackie Kennedy outfit.

Freestyle baby! The new WW program is good. Some of these patients think they just have to watch what they eat until they have the surgery, not realizing it will have to be a lifetime thing.

They're all from the Joey Tribbiani School of Acting, trying to divide 232 by 13.

Yeah......I can see Saturday Night Live making doing a "mock" of this ad.  It's "totes ridiculous"!

[Azubah]

Benji's house has some high-end finishes.

[trashtvaddict]

HA- Dungeon of Carbs! I have to find a way to use that. 

[Samurai X]

His family is not helping much by keeping that food in the house.

[Guest]

Cute doggie!!! Want!

[LookABird]

Benji will save so much money not eating massive amounts of fast food.

[zoemom]

Benji's eating Jello...is he getting with the program?????

I'm just guessing and I'm not an MD, but I think his stomach is probably so stretched out that eventually he would go back to filling it back up, even with healthy food. I've also been through a few weight gains and losses with extreme thyroid levels, and when I lose a lot like that in a small amount of time, there is this feeling for a long time that I get like I want to replace a missing body part or something.

Totally agree, that’s why I’m so bothered by her dumb “did I forget my pills” face.

BTW, no one who has an IUD forgets they have it.  The insertion procedure is pretty memorable, not in a good way.

[Armchair Critic]

As his girlfriend sits on the couch... wonder if she doesn't like him getting too healthy?

[Azubah]

It's sugar-free, and it's approved -- lots of the patients eat it. I don't care for it myself, but it's popular.

[trashtvaddict]

Mary doesn't look too thrilled..

[Guest]

Wow. 747's girlfriend seems to be gaining all the weight he's lost. 

[Kid]

Benji is onboard.  That is good.  Love his house.

David is looking good.

I honestly don't get it. I rarely need my siblings to complete life altering tasks.

I think it's a twin thing. There's lotsa research on twin behavior.

[ams1001]

Hopefully Benji's really getting on board. Denial aside, it's probably smarter to have him wait until his brother recovers from his own surgery before getting it done. It's probably easier on the family who have to take care of them.

[zoemom]

Mary really needs to get with the program instead of just watching......

[Lizz]

No paramedics required when he’s in the floor....impressive.

[hoosiermom]

His girlfriend looks like a sad sack. And doesn't move much either.

David, I wish you were working with a trainer. That form could use some work. 

I miss when they’d go to Planet Fitness. The agreement must have lapsed. 

[Ellie Godfrey]

David's girlfriend is not amused.

Welcome to the program, Benji.

Brothers we can root for... a far cry from the Assanti clan.

They're not twins. David is the eldest of the six siblings.
