It is. But it's a good movie.

[Smoothcoat]

Well it seems like they are trying. Good job!

[QuinnInND]

I'll give Roshanda this. She's at least trying it seems.

Somebody help me - how cold could it possibly get in LA? Why is Brandie wearing a ski hat? I've gone out in -5 here w/o a hat. I can't imagine even wearing clothes in Louisiana.

People outside of the Midwest have weird conceptions of what cold is. I’m from the upper Midwest but live in Maryland and people around here get bundled up before I even bother with a jacket!

We run the A/C pretty much 9 months out of the year. Don’t need a wool hat even in January 

[Armchair Critic]

I am thinking they will lose because just more movement and even cutting back food a little will help at their size

It gets in the 50s and people bundle up like it's below zero. It's pathetic. Lol

Meanwhile I'm in NJ and 50s-60s is about perfect for me. Today it was almost 90 and that's just not right. We had about 2 days of spring...I haven't broken down and turned on the AC yet, though. We'll see how I feel about that when I go to bed. It has to be really cold and I have to be planning to be outside for a while for me to wear a hat.

The sit to stand is a good thing for her to do because we have seen these women who can't get up anymore and the hardest thing for them is to get up. Its impossible and she seemed like she had good mobility there.  She seemed like she was giving some effort with the armband unlike a lot of them. 

[hoosiermom]

They do act like they are trying. Good for them.

Agree - my MIL's house didn't have a furnace!  They used their fireplace when it went down in the 40's.  Came to visit us in when I lived in Cleveland couldn't believe we lived somewhere that was so cold!!!!

she didn't know what asparagus was? lawd, hold my hat...

A couple weeks ago the young lady checking me out at my local wal-mart super center was shocked, I say shocked, to learn that those skinny green things in my cart were green onions.  

[Guest]

So, why did that lady on the Nutrish Dog Food commercial pretty much feed her dog an entire bag of food?  Is there going to be a My 600-lb Dog show in the works?

[cmpbl]

I'm shocked

I’m in Jersey too. I couldn’t believe the temp! I haven’t even put away the winter coats yet.

Rachel Ray bugs me so much.

I think Gabourey Sidibe is a very good actress, and I know she came to fame in this movie, but I've heard so much about it, I can't bring myself to watch it. I must be getting sensitive in my old age. 

[leFay]

9 pounds Clarence??? DOH!

[zoemom]

Something tells me something is going to go wrong.  It's only 9:30.  Rhoshanda is slipping in too much butter!

[QuinnInND]

Wow!!! Roshanda!!! Lost 114lbs!!!!

Funny the guy taking off his Sandler before weighing himself. They can’t weigh more than 10 ounces.

Oh snap Rashonda lost the most! Glad she proved me wrong.

Dr. Now doesn't take any crap from them.....

"Well, you didn't."

lol, I love Dr. Now.

[zoemom]

Rhoshanda surprised me.  Way to go!!!!

[leFay]

I"m hating Roshanda less because she has stepped UP!

[zoemom]

OK....knew there was going to be some drama..  Clarence isn't going to move.  Hope there's no screaming/tears.

Something tells me its going to be a LONG ride back to Layfayette.....

[Armchair Critic]

Clarence doesn't plan on having the surgery maybe. Guess the drama will be how will they get to Houston.

She's probably wearing the hat because she hasn't had her hair done.

As for wearing a ski hat, l've seen people break out UGG boots and it's in the upper 40s.  After living in Indiana during the blizzard of 1978, I wear a trench coat with a lining during the winter and I'm good.

[cmpbl]

I wouldn't exactly call those meals "healthy". Clarence is done, he ain't moving .

Pennsauken - Camden county! You? 

[Miracle Maxie]

Clarence is utterly uninterested in pursuing weight loss surgery.

He sounds like someone who's been thinking through this super morbid obesity issue, and recognizes both the need to have more surgeons working on this group and his own mortality (he can't do this forever)

Amen.  I was heartened to hear this, because he is over 70, and there's only one of him.  

[QuinnInND]

This move to Houston will not be fun.

Well, compared to what they were eating...

Freehold (Monmouth County). I have a friend who grew up around Pennsauken. 

[Stusan]

These people don’t know how to pack. 

[MsVixen]

Taking Dad with them?  This is not going to go well for Clarence.

[CouchTater]

Ugh.  I'm in the process of trying to incorporate low-fat yogurt into my eating habit.  Ugh, it's the worse.  I'm choking down some vanilla Dannon Light and Fit right now.

[Smoothcoat]

Why do they say if they don’t get the surgery, it’s all been for nothing??? They still LOST WEIGHT DAMMIT!!

Anyone else having trouble understanding them.  I used to live in New Orleans, never heard folks talk like they had marbles in their mouths.

Try closed captioning.  I sometimes use that when people have an accent that's hard to understand, or there's noise around.

And the brother does work.

I love yogurt! Oikos vanilla is so good. With a banana or some strawberries!

On WW everybody is eating fat free greek yogurt, that makes Dannon Light and Fit taste like dessert! My favorite yogurt is Noosa which is high in protein but fattening.

Where do you even find animal print bikinis that size? (I don't really want to know. Don't answer that.)

 

I thought at first it was a skin condition.

And I'm now looking at Fluff & Tuff, for red doxie Gidget. 
She has a much beloved pink squeaky bone, and it has to be replaced several times a year.

When they opened that box truck I thought for a second they were going to load the ladies back there. Actually, it’s probably more comfy back there with a few mattresses than riding hall cramped in the seats. They could easily get a blood clot from lack of movement.
