What does caterwaul mean? 

 

A shrill howling or wailing noise. (Often used to describe to the sounds of angry cats.)

"Talking doesn't help for me". No, she prefers to caterwaul like a wounded musk ox.

I believe a Musk Ox’s caterwaul is a more dignified.

All that screaming, crying and carrying on.

[VioletNevermind]

Damn, Miss Lola.  That shirt!  It’s not for me, but I applaud her bravery in wearing it.

Geez She didn’t even respond to Dr Lola thanking her, she just lumbers out wordlessly. 

Lumbers!!!  Yes, that's the perfect word for her!!!

I agree but at least he has a job and has 3 other adults depending on him because they won’t take care of themselves. So at least that is hard. When Roshanda says she has a lot on her shoulders I can’t figure out what she has to do. 

How is he taking care of them? He goes to the drive through to get exactly what will kill them. Then he sits and frowns over his responsibilities. They could just order Dominos and he'd be replaced.

I'm always surprised at how most of them don't think they need therapy. They've literally stuffed themselves to the point where they need another human being to wipe the pee off of them, and they don't see why they would have any psychological issues.

[VioletNevermind]

I actually don’t fault her for not thanking the therapist and reciprocating normal social pleasantries like that.  She’s deeply depressed and I can let it go- for a while.  The onus is on her to take it from here and accept the help she needs.

I don't like stuff on my face like that. I will shove the mask out when I start waking up. My husband is a pilot, and I couldn't wear the oxygen mask he has to. No way. So I give her a pass for that. 

When I was 15 I had tubes put in my ears and apparently I pulled the IV out of my hand at some point. I have zero recollection of this.

Flip flops at the gym??? 

[Stusan]

Does Planet Fitness have a deal with this show?

She said "You're welcome", as if she had done Lola a favour.

[LookABird]

Thomas looks shell-shocked.

[ams1001]

You sound excited!

Thomas looks a little perturbed.

[CoachWristletJen]

Caterwauling must be her go to technique because the people around her immediately do anything to make it stop.... throw donuts, find the remote, anything, whatever, it takes. 

It works for her.

Dignity doesn't factor into the equation.

[Concerned]

A good workout for these girls would be to put their hands on the dinner table and push back.

[Pepper Mostly]

"I'm excited" says Roshonda, in a flat monotone with a pissed off expression.

I call bull on Rashonda. Just say you don't want to do it and be done.

And such a face on that one!  Everything seems to be too much trouble. Just go home and eat.

[MsVixen]

I hope Brandi finds a nice woman after she loses some of her weight.

[Pepper Mostly]

She didn't want to get on the treadmill? What does she think exercise is, exactly?

I thought it was implied that he is taking care of them financially though the sisters are probably on disability.

Also seriously how do these people afford their eating habits? The amount they eat out and just the amount the eat. They are eating literally 10-20x a normal person.

[CringeWatcher]

Also from the supersize edition, Clarence had to take money out of his 401k to put a roof over both his sisters’ heads when they got evicted from their previous residence. Whatcha think got them evicted? Could it be all that hollering and fuss all the time? The volume of the brandie’s groundbreaking rap stylings? Hmmm.

I hear ya. But can I guess that you would do it if you were over 700 pounds?

[cmpbl]

Rashonda is scared of the treadmill .

[Smoothcoat]

Wow I’ve never seen anyone look as miserable in a gym as Roshanda.

Well, Lola did thank her for coming and sharing with her. I'll give her a pass on that; it's a rather unfamiliar situation for her. When someone says thank you, the reflex is often to say you're welcome. She's probably not quite sure how this all is supposed to go.

[Suzywriter]

Brandie...Brandie...why do you always look like you slept under a bridge.

If I was over 700 lbs, I would kill myself.  

[Pepper Mostly]

"I'm going to work as hard as I can". "I've worked too hard". Honey. You walked around a gym. Once.

I’d like to know what he does for a living.

You haven’t seen me.  ?

[rlc]

This is the saddest exercise attempt I have ever seen.

And I love it that Brandie was smiling during her workout. I guess Roshanda is scared of the gym too.

Ooh Lola.  The dress!

OMG! That was hideous. Where are Stacy and Clinton when you need them!

[leFay]

I'm staring at the exercise equipment that's shoved in the corner of my living room and have decided to start using it, only if I can look helluh pissed off while exercising...

[Splashes]

Just now, Pepper Mostly said:

That is literally infinitely more than she has done in the past!

[rlc]

You know what’s not hard? Sitting on your ass and eating fried chicken all day until you drop dead.

[MsVixen]

And Alicia is carrying 250 lbs on the hoof.....

To be fair, I am sometimes scared of the treadmill. Though it's usually because I've been sick and am feeling a little unsteady. Then again, I go a tad bit faster on the treadmill than she would.

Clinton's off designing rooms on Trading Spaces. ;)

[Smoothcoat]

I’ve got hope for Brandie. The other 2, not so much.....

Me too. He has to be spending more than 5000 dollars a month on food.

[ams1001]

Has Clarence even had a weigh-in? 

[Smoothcoat]

Hmmm none of the 3 have a boyfriend or a girlfriend - that’s unusual for this show. 

[VioletNevermind]

I can understand her aversion to having any kind of obstruction on her face.  My two surgeons have given me a little something to calm me before putting on the mask- just enough to settle my hysterical ass down so they can prep me for surgery.  It’s crazy how much it helps. 

[Concerned]

Your collar looks like a U neck (or eunuch) implying that if you don’t use their product you’re castrated.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh what a lovely sight these three are.

[Smoothcoat]

God they’re all just lying there like lifeless slugs. Clarence arrives!

My dad's doctor called it the, "I don't give a damn medicine".

I thought the Gastric Sleeve was a real "sleeve" that compresses the stomach area!  I didn't know that part of the stomach was cut.

I used to think that, and that that was what the Drs. Garth did, that they inserted air in to adjust.
Now I'm just confused.
