S06.E19: Diana & Ashley R. LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Ashley lost over 200 lbs. in Houston, but she faces the fact of regaining independence and struggling to lose weight back in California with her family of enablers; and Diana has embraced her new life and shed 300 lbs., but her knee damage might threaten her progress.

This is the LIVE CHAT episode thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing  and again during the US West Coast showing.

A few notes:

• As always, no politics, or even sliding down that slippery slope toward politics
• Posters are allowed to snark the people on the show as long as they do not cross the line into racism, homophobia, etc.
• Posters are not allowed to snark each other; this includes policing what people say
• Yes, TLC does release episode descriptions as poorly worded as the one for this episode; your Mods cringe while transposing them
• Ashley will be "scared" about moving back to California; Diana will be "scared" about her knee; your Mods are scared this will be another update episode that should have been 30 minutes, not 2 hours; let's be "scared" together

Happy posting!

Given how boring these "Where are they Now" episodes have been, and reading through the past episode threads (mostly because I didn't remember either of those two), I feel like my eating habit prior to this show airing should be a bottle of No-Doze, a six-pack of diet Coke, and three Venti cappuccinos from Starbucks.

I'm nervous, you guys.

Also, my eating habit is scrambled eggs and an English muffin, and probably a grapefruit later.

[Miracle Maxie]

My eating habit included chocolate tonight. I hope the caffeine in it will keep me awake.

Hi everyone!  What is your eating habit?  I had a big  Greek salad and a brownie (which is not on Dr Now's plan).

I'm curious to see how Diana did. She seemed nice enough, but like most of these people, she was a user in her own way.

[simba barracuda]

Oy, those legs! My eating habit is not eating!

[QuinnInND]

Hi Pounders!! How are y'all doing tonight? 

[zoemom]

How long ago were these people on?  I don't remember Diana....nasty, crusty legs!

[simba barracuda]

I think Diana was really nice?

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everybody!! My eating habit is peach ice cream. 

[OoogleEyes]

Hi ya! My eating habit is ham and cheese. Didn't feel like cooking tonight 

[zoemom]

My eating habit has been two containers of pumpkin yogurt (full fat)......I know not sticking to the plan.

She was!  

[CringeWatcher]

My eating habit is zucchini lemon couscous and sautéed cherry tomatoes. My drinking habit is red wine :)

[Miracle Maxie]

Other than the chocolate, my eating habit was cucumber salad and Greek pasta salad.

Is it Noosa?! That's the food of the gods. I love their Mexican chocolate yogurt but haven't seen it in the store lately.

[ams1001]

I remember her niece and her family who moved with her. Her niece was a big reason she stayed on track with food so I hope she can do it herself.

Huh. I didn't realize Kenny G has a second job as a mover.

[TwirlyGirly]

"My eating habit is Whiskas Temptations, Hairball formula!"

Or Sammy Hagar.

Hi Pounders! How's everyone's eating habit tonight? I had a bowl of cornflakes with strawberries. My commute home exhausts me.

Indeed @Giant Misfit....it is my new "bad" food.  They've also come out with smaller salted caramel (130 kcal).  I'm sure that Dr. Now won't approve, so I'll just hide them when the dietician comes in to do the "clean out" of my fridge!

I'm confused.....did Diana stay in Houston to work/journey forward?  Are those her relatives? Kids?  Sorry don't remember her..... 

[Pepper Mostly]

She's excited, guys.

[CouchTater]

Hey Pounder Pals.

My eating habit tonight is a protein shake.  I had gastric sleeve surgery last Tuesday, and I'm still on a liquids-only regimen.

For those who are interested, surgery went well, with no major complications...other than a hospital roommate who had several significant health issues and was also a Chatty Cathy.  Ugh.

I don't think I'm going to hang in for this entire episode.  I'm already bored and sleepy.

[Guest]

I want to personally thank Diana for having an inflection in her voice while she reads the TLC script. This might be a first.

[chickenella]

Hi pounders! My eating habit is baked haddock with zucchini pasta and veggies, washed down with glass of wine! I hope I can stay awake for this!

That sounds delicious!!

"My eating habit be catnip. Me eats it."

[zoemom]

Why don't these folks wear shoes????

Ashley looks like Lupe to me.   Where was I when these were on?  In a coma???

Don't answer that!

[Pepper Mostly]

Welcome back @CouchTater! Glad you're doing well!

ARGHHH!! Jealous! I have't seen the salted caramel! Sounds delicious. :)

OK. Yeah, I don't remember Ashley R at all.

She's peeling that cucumber with great determination.

Too hard to put them on their fat feet?

You need to lose 40 pounds before next week’s show or there is nothing further we can do for you and you will not be able to watch the program!

I never saw someone peel a cucumber with a potato peeler.

lol...I was just reading a reddit thread called (something like) "what the patient says / what Dr. Now hears" and one of the posts was (paraphrasing because I already closed the tab) "I'm a lot more mobile" = "I walk to the kitchen to eat instead of eating in bed."

That was me the last couple nights (sans commute; I only have about a 30-40-minute drive, depending on traffic). Just too many things at work and certain people driving me extra crazy. Cereal and fruit. Tonight I was ambitious and scrambled a couple eggs.

[Lizz]

How y’all doin’?

I just don’t remember Diana. I’m holding out for getting Juggalo Nicole again. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Dr Paradise!

Best of luck to you, @CouchTater! We're here for you - snark free!

[Pepper Mostly]

I am living for Juggalo Nicole's update episode. Living. For. It. 

[Smoothcoat]

Ashley’s legs look so tiny compared to her middle!

Congrats Couchtater!  You got this!
