S06.E17: One Ton Family: Part 1 LIVE CHAT

[Threnners]

Destructive Doxie people:  I'm here to bring you the good news about Fluff & Tuff dog toys.    The only ones my old man (he will be 17 next month) could not destroy while he had teeth.

Those plates made me want to vomit.

[calpurnia99]

we are all scared, we are so scared they won't be able to help us......yeah I've heard that before

This is common, Zoemom.  I live outside of New Orleans and some of the mixed accents almost need captions.

Hey MsVixen I’m in Hammond where are you?

Oh...ok

[fonfereksglen]

Brother looked on the scale and saw new number in hundreds system.  I believe that is what he said.  Oh my.

 I don't watch to make make fun  of people and this family makes me sad.

Dang - we have major thunderstorms coming through. I hope the TV doesn't go out.

How does someone who is pretty much home bound get their face pierced? 

 

We had heavy rain last week,  made me miss the show,  haven't caught up yet. 

I believe there are traveling piercers/tattooist that will make house calls. 

[Smoothcoat]

Is the one sister the largest woman ever on the show? That’s the heaviest weight I recall for a female.

I feel this family was the also-ran to the Stewarts who got their own series (Family by the Ton) and these poor folks got shafted with two hours of airtime tacked on to the end of the season.

That must be who I was thinking of. I didn't know their last name.

Ice cube and a needle? (Sorry, that's how the "my parents are divorcing so I'm gonna rebel" character on last night's Rise pierced her nose. Miraculously without the slightest hint of redness or swelling afterward!)

They’re getting 4 hours. Two tonight and two next week. Then that’s it. No more Where Are They Now episodes. I wonder if Hurricane Harvey had anything to do with that.

I think we have had a few over 700, they were bed bound though. I can't remember though

Two episodes so four hours is my guess.

Where are you Aliya?  It's about to storm by me, too, and I'm hoping DirecTV doesn't poop out on me.

I'm in southeast Michigan.

I'm in Southwest Michigan, I saw the weather warnings for your area 

[MsVixen]

Coordinating outfits in blue!!!!!

[Smoothcoat]

Did I hear this right? The brother works and supports all of them? Damn. What does he do??

[spacefly]

I want a brownie in a cup (Last commercial here). I had a tapioca pudding for dinner, it's hot and I'm not hungry, least not hungry for real food.

Good evening, everybody!  My eating habits are going to be a turkey bacon sammich with ice cream!

Thanks for the idea, I was trying to decide,  and a turkey bacon sammich will hit the spot.

No kidding. "I'm scared. I don't know what we'll do."  STOP EATING.

[leFay]

[Smoothcoat]

Who is this doctor? No!

Thank you!  I spend a fortune on toys for mine, both from the store and we get Barkbox too. And my twins just turned 2 and are getting better about leaving their toys within dog range. 

 

More scared. Ugh. 

She tried everything. How about stopping eating? 

[Donut Bear]

On to Doctor Now

[leFay]

Just now, Smoothcoat said:

Who is this doctor? No!

Dr. NO! , damn straight!

[zoemom]

Uh oh.....the problem is they are telling me to lose 300 lbs. before surgery.  These folks think gastric bypass will solve all their problems.  Sounds like a road trip to Houston is on the way...

[aliya]

Dang Dang Dang  Tornado Warning! I hear the siren and the TV just went black.  Pls. I need my Dr Now. I'll risk getting blown to Kansas, just leave the TV on!

[Donut Bear]

The travel will be a real clown show

[hoosiermom]

I weigh 150 and trying to loose 15 pounds before my hip replacement surgery. Nobody told me to. Just seems like the smart thing to do. I am certainly not eating fast food!

[calpurnia99]

she don't understand why they cant get the help there, when the doctor explained exactly why he can't help them there...jesus h christ. they want a magic pill

[QuinnInND]

That poor taxi. 

[chickenella]

All 3 in the same cab?

[Threnners]

Aaaand Clarence is a dick.

Same here.  The live chat has been just delightful!

Can you believe this is happening in Lafayette?

[zoemom]

Uh oh.....Clarence is in hot water now....

[spacefly]

You can't get "help there" because they don't do surgery on people your size because the chances are YOU WILL DIE!

I thought they were wearing some type of scrub/hospital clothing. 

[Threnners]

Is Clarence channelling one of the Klumps?

[Armchair Critic]

I kind of feel bad for Clarence, isn't he the only one who works too?

[Brooklynista]

For people with limited options, 800 pounders love to make threats.

[Azubah]

What a lovely family dynamic.

Thanks; I'll mention it to my friend. (Her doggie's name is Smidgen, btw, which I find impossibly cute.)

My friend gets Barkbox, too (well, I don't know if she still does). She doesn't have kids, though. Just a retired father-in-law who spoils the dog rotten while she and her husband are at work. :)

 

Is there a reason they're in matching blue shirts? Why does he wear a button-down or polo shirt pulled up to his chest over a t-shirt? Is this another fashion statement I don't understand?

Houston or maybe New Orleans? Like we don't know where they're going?

Take cover Aliya, we'll be thinking about you!!!

[SnarkySnarky]

Giving an ultimatum to the person who takes care of you financially(and perhaps in other ways). What a bitch.

[DC Gal in VA]

What exactly is so hard to understand? If you don't lose weight pre-surgery you could DIE ON THE TABLE!!! Geez!

If you still have wireless, you can follow us...but right now you are missing NOTHING.  3 siblings fighting with lots of bleeps.  Hope you don't get hit with that tornado...
