How y'all doing? My eating habit is a bag of some popcorn and a diet Coke.

I'm SCARED I'm gonna have to walk downstairs and get something else to eat.

You'll never make the BIG time, 600lb-wise, without an enabler to bring it to you.
I'm determined to get here before it closes, but haven't looked at the show yet.
I'll be having Publix low fat vanilla, and/or their key lime lowfat frozen yogurt.
And didn't Melissa divorce one husband? Is this the same one, or is she a poor picker?

[zoemom]

Oh Lord......she's lost all that weight and she's still "nervous" and "scared".    Where have we heard this before?????

[Threnners]

Oh, there's whasserface at the table!

[CouchTater]

Awwww, she looks good!  She cleans up nice!  :-)

Okay, I want that damn plate AND the wine now!!!!!

It's really good wine. Whispering Angel. One of my faves.

[Guest]

I like the concept of the moderator's dress but she is not rocking that look at all.

I'm gonna start binge-eating Adderall if this show doesn't pick up some steam soon.

I would too if I had any! But only because I'm hungry,not because of the show.

What on earth is the emcee wearing? Because it suuuuucks

A strapless plaid dress over a button-down shirt? This concept I do not get.

Lots of people have large thighs. She isn't wearing the right pants for her figure.

I realize she is upset over gaining weight, but I think many people at the conference will still consider her a success. She isn't 600 lbs again. She recognizes that weight control is going to be a continuing issue for her and is doing something about it rather than hiding in the closet with a pizza. She's got work to do, but I think she's doing OK. She needs some help at home, tho, that's for sure. 

She has large legs that probably looked misshapen when she was close to 700 pounds.  Wearing pants that are too tight doesn't help.

Looks like a strait jacket

Awww cute little Dr. Now in street clothes!

[simba barracuda]

Melissa’s makeup looks great!

Melissa looks so old! 

I think she always looks down-trodden.

[3girlsforus]

Is this just a ‘Dr Now praise’ conference!

[Guest]

Why are these people "awwww-ing" about her divorce? Surely they've seen her show -- they should have given her a standing ovation.

Please stop being "scared," Melissa. 

[ams1001]

She still considers her lying, cheating, sneaky husband a friend?

[Any day now]

Is the MC a therapist who was in Erica’s episode? Remember she came to the apartment and told her she was a gastric bypass patient also?

I’m thinking that TLC produced it, mainly so they’d have enough content for this two-hour episode.

Dr. Now maybe should have put on a sport coat. That tracksuit makes him look like an 80s rapper.

[Standard Staples]

It was the 2016 Obesity Help conference, and Dr. Now was a keynote speaker.

This, and many other recent posts, just tickle me. I knew we’d find something to snark about. I heart you guys :)

Oh, sweetie, you want to do "well".  Not "good."

No kidding. I so wanted to say something, but I'm trying to be nice after knocking her about the makeup.

Yeah, I think you’re right. But why is she wearing a burlap sack?

[QuinnInND]

Melissa. Please clean your house and front yard!  It's terrible! 

Good for her for walking and taking the kids to the playground!

Yes, I think so.

Hey zoemom, I used to think that too, but a while back I did a little internet research and found several retailers for supersize scales and the prices were kinda reasonable. Amazing and rather sad that there is obviously a market for these types of scales.

I can’t understand why someone would go thru all this trouble to lose weight and not get a scale.

Alright everyone - what’s Dr. Now’s rapper name?

 

Freshy Pound$?

Added a suggestion!

How is this still 45 minutes to go? 

[Azubah]

Oh God, all the Deep Thoughts packed into one two-minute segment.

[QuinnInND]

The baby is adorable!

Neezus, aka Neezy.

Or, Lil Now-Now.

[3girlsforus]

Wow. Could this woman have anything else to deal with? Now her father is dying??  I really want to give her a hug. 

[aliya]

So going to hell for this, especially since she is crying over her father now, but maybe if she kept her house clean and did some yard work, she'd lose the weight.  

I'll see myself out.

[Threnners]

You do both sweetie.

I love this so hard.

[gardendiva]

The hits keep on coming for this poor woman.

[DC Gal in VA]

I know this episode isn't the usual snarkfest, but I am actually enjoying it. Melissa did great at the conference. I think she has great humility and insight about herself. What I like about her is that, with all of her insecurities, or maybe because of them, she is so normal and likeable. 

BTW, TLC screwed up and gave us some great background information about the early days of Dr. Now's practice. Wow actually informing your audience beyond the usual formulaic bullshit: what a concept.

And Dr. Now: "togedder." Love it!

I'll get the door for both of us.  My handbasket is outside waiting.

Hooker Fresh, according to this chart I found...

[hoosiermom]

Are they flying?

[Threnners]

She should just move back to Ohio to be with her family.  But knowing Bag of Dicks Chris, he would probably fight her on it.

[Smoothcoat]

Who is on next week??

Sir Cuts Alot?

She may actually have a job in Houston. Besides, she needs to see Dr. Now regularly.

Some me days that sounds about right.

Don’t forget the bastards! The KIDS!

[3girlsforus]

Watching this woman work so hard on her weight loss, deal with an asshole husband, go through a divorce, raise three kids alone, and now face the loss of her father makes me hate the fake cancer bitch even more.
