S06.E17: Kandi & Brandi LIVE CHAT

[Pepper Mostly]

Holy moly, what on earth would you do all day if you didn't work? It doesn't look like they have hobbies or read or do things. 

[leFay]

do they ever smile? they have the personalities of soggy kleenex...

[CoachWristletJen]

So glad to see they are going to the gym! That's the missing puzzle piece right there. It will help them a lot.

[Threnners]

Is this episode sponsored by Hanes?   Tshirts, gym shorts, oh my!

[simba barracuda]

I wonder if they’re told by the show that they can’t have a home scale? Because there should be scales that can weigh them there

[Pepper Mostly]

Geez, girls, don't put the cart before the horse. Maybe meet someone first before worrying about whether or not he'd move to Washington?

Good luck to you, too!  Sending good vibes your way.

I would have had a scale as soon as I reached the 400s.  

[Kid]

They are looking much smaller.

[Miracle Maxie]

What’s the deal with their hair? Is it full of product or just greasy? 

[DC Gal in VA]

I know this show is waaaaaay short on the usual M600PL drama but I really like Kandi and Brandi and how they are serious about bettering their health and lives, eating right and exercising. They are such a wonderful palate cleansers from the Schenees of this world with her stank attitude, stuffing her face and waiting for God to lightning bolt the fat off her ass.

That always bugs me. "I'm so nervous about the weigh in because I have no idea if I'm on track!" If you're under 400, you can definitely get a scale for home so you can, y'know, keep track of that!

 All I've been thinking about for the part hour is gee, wouldn't it be great to be young and not work for a living....And go to the gym (personal  trainer) whenever I  want, travel to visit family whenever I  want, have all my medical  needs met,  have all day to shop, cook, etc.   Instead I'm still working at 64.  Sigh.........

Remember, we are all here thinking good thoughts for a successful outcome for you!

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Hey y'all! I can't believe I missed the first 50 minutes of the show. I can't even blame it on work. I'm having a helluva day and don't know my own middle name right now.

My eating habit is chicken enchiladas tonight. Or what passes for chicken enchiladas around here. I'm sure they're an abomination to true Mexican enchiladas.

Brandi and Kandi look good! It's such a change to see someone (or someones) following the plan and being successful.

[simba barracuda]

Wow!

[MsVixen]

I had to leave the room for a moment.  What are their weights now?

We are Sisters in Chicken Enchiladas!

[leFay]

THese twins are showing everyone how it's done!!!

[Threnners]

I carbed hard today.   I'm so glad the show came back to boot me in the ass.

[aliya]

Whoa - morning sickness!!!

[Threnners]

"dating"

[simba barracuda]

Wait...WHAT

Right? I'm two weeks away from 64 and still working too, for at least five more years. I would love to not work! But these two are so boring. Not a book to be seen. What do they do all day? If I didn't work I'd read and cook and my house would be spotless and I'd mess around with my houseplants and I'd have friends over and go out to yard sales and thrift shops and search for treasure. I wish we could get a more nuanced portrait of these people. Its just a bunch of people sitting around dolefully, staring at the wall and wishing they could chow down on a few pizzas and a pan of brownies. 

[Miracle Maxie]

No. Just... no. 

[LookABird]

These two are so likeable and inspiring.  They make up for everyone being hosed down on the porch.

Under 300 (one was 288 I think?); they lost 75 and 76 pounds in the past 4 months.

Probably best not to have them both get surgery at the same time, anyway. They can help each other recover.

Morning sickness? Why did I have a feeling when she said she'd been feeling sick... 

[DC Gal in VA]

Yay Kandi and Brandi both exceeded their goals!!! I am practically teary eyed and so happy for them.

General question: why do skin removal surgery before the patient is very near or at their goal weight? If it was me, I would rather wait until I was around my goal weight and tell the surgeon to make that shit as tight as possible.

Sweet Jeebus

[Pepper Mostly]

Morning sickness? Ho-lee shit.

[Brooklynista]

Brandi is wasting NO time getting that D. But wrap it up girlie.  Fat does not protect you from STDs.

[DC Gal in VA]

Uh oh, Brandi might be pregnant? Wow!

[Kid]

Birth control, honey,birth control!!!!!

[MrsRopersCaftan]

PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?!

[leFay]

She's got a million inches of excess skin and is getting laid?  I am doing something wrong here...

The D IS nice, though...

[Snarkastikate]

Indeed......

[Concerned]

Talk about burying the lead. We are shown 90 minutes of boring chatter and they skipped the sex scene. Wonder if it was the personal trainer.

65 in August. Budget cuts at my uni and probably no raise for a 2nd year. Our fiscal year is July 1; if nothing is happening, I'm gonna have to go when the Medicare kicks in. I'll eat ramen; its better than working harder, getting excellent evaluations, but no friggin' money. My sister younger just retired and she's having a ball.

You and me, both, Lefay!!!!  Maybe all the chubby chasers hang around Dr. Now's clinic!

[Threnners]

Fat girls love the D too!

One of them said she was dating while one of them was curled up on the couch playing with her phone and the other was making eggs. (Sorry, can't keep track of who's who.)

[ams1001]

Oh, geez. Are we gonna meet the guy?

[Threnners]

:O

[simba barracuda]

OMG

[Pepper Mostly]

They show Brandi and Kandi sitting around, dolefully eating eggs, and mumbling. And they don't show, or even allude to the spicy stuff? WTF?
