S06.E18: Erica LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Erica must return to California to continue her weight loss journey, but fears past emotional trauma will derail her progress.

Erica is scared!  Mark off a space on your My 600 Lb. Life bingo card and a second space for "journey". 

This is the LIVE CHAT episode thread for this "Where are they now?" type of episode.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing and again during the US West Coast showing.

Here we are again!!

Hello Pounders!! ?

[ninjakid]

Hey everyone!

[TwirlyGirly]

"OMG! I hope her eating habit isn't TUNA!!!"

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everybody!! 

[simba barracuda]

How is everybody’s eating habit tonight?

[Miracle Maxie]

Oh dear. Her original episode was hard to watch. I don’t think this one will be much easier. 

[Guest]

Could the producers of this show please coach these people to read their cue cards with just a little inflection? Every week I feel like I'm listening to Charlie Brown's teacher read the phone book.

Not good - having ice cream and cookies but I had surgery today so I’m treating myself!

[ams1001]

Hi everyone! I was debating between this and American Ninja Warrior but y'all are too much fun. ANW can wait for OnDemand.

My eating habit at the moment is a salad of lettuce, red cabbage, purple and yellow carrots, a smattering of croutons and a bit of honey French dressing. There will likely be toast or an English muffin in a bit. Oh, and ginger beer with a splash or three of vodka. (It's been a long couple days.) And I have strawberries in the fridge I need to eat, so that's dessert.

The only thing I remember is the bitchy sister.

Well hellllooooo my fellow pounders (channeling my inner Mrs. Doubtfire)! I hope that Erica found a way to deal with her depression, or else we'll all be crying in our beer tonight, LOL!

Eating habit tonight baked chicken, baked sweet potato and, steamed spinach. Nothing exciting, but tasty.

I sorta vaguely remembered her until she read the bit about the boyfriend and his friends. :(

[Guest]

I can barely handle the unbridled joy Erica exudes.

I think I've watched every episode and I don't remember her either. Off to Google..... okay now I remember the sister. I didn't know there was a new episode so I missed the beginning.

[Threnners]

Oh god, not her again.

[ninjakid]

I thought I had exaggerated how bitchy her sister is, but no, she's just as big a bitch as I remembered.

[Guest]

Does Erica think Dr Now is holding her hostage in Houston?

Hey TwirlyGirly I hereby demand that you change your screen name to "Talk To The Paw" in honor of your totally cute diva cat!

Not bad - tacos w/Gardein meatless crumbles and the usual accouterments and a Philly mini cheesecake thingy.  I can't wait to see how this whiny woman has gotten on over the year.

[Miracle Maxie]

I looked at last year’s thread. There seemed to be a pretty even split between those who didn’t like Erica and those who didn’t like her family.

Why choose? They're all awful.

[Pepper Mostly]

(pant,pant) hey everybody! I'm a little late--how's everyone's eating habit tonight? 

Ah, the haunting "Houston apartment complex" theme. 

My gawd, those feet!

[QuinnInND]

Sorry I'm late fellow Pounders! My twins have got their terrible 2s in full force tonight! 

I remember that story about the boyfriend and the others. Stuff like that will scar people for life. 

My eating habit tonight was lemon pepper talapia, rice and green beans with ice cream for dessert. Not too bad.

 

Good for her on the weigh loss! 

[ninjakid]

She laughed! First genuine emotion I've seen from her.

[Pepper Mostly]

So far, one "scared", one "journey" and two "on track"s.

I remember that horrible sister. Yikes!

[Pepper Mostly]

@Giant Misfit Right? We're only about 10 minutes in!

Aw, a hug!

"That's my job."

[Smoothcoat]

Awww she hugged Dr Now!!

[MrsClaus]

Hi y'all.  Don't know what I'm going to eat tonight.

I missed the beginning and am trying really hard to remember her.

[Miracle Maxie]

Has anyone made up an actual bingo card for this show? I’m thinking the center square should be “How y’all doin’?”  “Scared”, “journey” and a visit with Dr Lola need to be on the card, too. 

[CoachWristletJen]

I missed the beginning as well, but it doesn't seem as if she's lost very much.

[Schippmom]

I had a late lunch of bahn mi tacos so just ice cream for dinner

[DC Gal in VA]

Missed it. What was her original weight?

Edited to add: Not really be critical of her but after losing 238 pounds I really can't see the difference.

Ah ha! Fooled you!

This kitty is Prince Legolas of Mirkwood. Previously, I've posted pics of my other kitty, Nicodemus von Wittykitty.

It's the battle of the PTV Pounder Witty Kitties!

Erica: "I'm not happy about it."

Me: "You're not happy about anything."
 

[QuinnInND]

Why can't she just get rid of her apartment in California, and find another one in Houston?

I actually looked up making your own bingo cards the other day. I think we'd have to have multiple cards with different sayings, because otherwise we'd all hit BINGO at the same time.

[ArmenianGirl]

Why didn't she look for a less expensive apartment in Houston?

Somebody posted one on reddit.  

 

 

I think "packing sucks" was the most emotion I've heard in her voice so far...which isn't saying much.

[Guest]

JESUS! I can't with this woman and her droning on and on and her constant self defeatism:

I think "enabler continues to en-abe" is funny.

Because that would require logical thinking.

So, get rid of the food!!
