Yeah - I think the peeler I used tonight is a 'potato peeler.'  To me, it's just an equal opportunity peeler. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use it on cukes. 

Aliya jr hates the word 'cukes.'  He hates 'veg,' 'couscous' (i'm supposed to say just 'cous') and assorted other words that no one else pays any mind.  He's a special boy.

My DVR says this is 3hrs long. Is that right??

[Miracle Maxie]

In two weeks it’s James and Cynthia. I don’t remember a Cynthia and I’m guiltily hoping that James is James K of “Ow my laigs!” fame.

I hate auto correct!

[CringeWatcher]

It’s not boding well for this episode that I’m more interested in the cucumber peeling comments than in either of tonight’s contestants.

Me, too. What else would you use?

 

I was taught to use a knife and just slide it down the side of the cucumber under the skin. Never dawned on me to use a potato peeler.

My cable description says it goes to 11:14 (so does tvguide.com). Sometimes they lump in that Skin Tight show as if it's all one program; that might be why?

Isn’t Cynthia the one who got mad when she wasn’t approved for surgery and told dr now “screw this process” right there in the exam room? And yes, I know my obsession with this show is unnatural ;)

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.

My commute is insanely long, all by public transit. Its not far in terms of distance but its a "you can't get there from here" situation. subway and a looooooong bus ride, complicated by traffic and shitty drivers who drive like they're taking a bunch of seniors to a church picnic. by the time I drag my exhausted shell of my former self into my house I'm too tired to do anything but make a sandwich, or a salad, or, on especially hellish nights on those mobile torture chambers the T hilariously calls a "bus", cereal. What a life.

Oh, you remember Cynthia.   Nasty attitude,  I don't need therapy type.

[simba barracuda]

Well, good news! Kirsten or Kristen, or however you spell that name of that magnificent mess, is on next week!

[DEG9]

Hi folks. I've been lurking for quite awhile, but finally decided to jump in and snark with you all. My eating habit tonight was a Burger King Sourdough burger and fries. But I skipped the soda and got water instead. heh

[simba barracuda]

Diana has really lost a lot!

[ChickenLatte99]

I just don't remember these 2.

[Threnners]

I'm so happy for Diana.   I liked her.     She needs to up her protein though with the hair loss.

You’ll lose so much weight that way!?

Dr Paradise! 

I do love me some Dr. Paradise.   Not enough to gain 400+ lbs., but he would make me actually want to go to therapy.   Zoemom climbing over empty Noosa Pumpkin Yogurt cups in order to see how long it would take for her to get from her house to Houston.......;)!!

Seventeen hours, its do-able!  How many fast food stops will I have to make though?

[Miracle Maxie]

I would really rather not see all the excess skin. Is that the Where Are They Now version of the shower scene?

[OoogleEyes]

Alright Diana!!

I am not sure I have the will to watch more of the train wreck called James K!  Of course he is just so deserving of the snarkiness so I will have to get past that, LOL.

Oh please! That would be so great. Every time I hear someone say "ow my leg!" I die laughing. If that makes me a bad person I'm at peace with that. 

Welcome @DEG9! Pull up a chair. Wine's over there. Red or white? 

[TTLY6]

Her hair is so freaking gorgeous!!

"Which is nothing."  Dr Now isn't mincing words this year. 

[Snarkastikate]

They both hate the look of their excess skin more than they did their fat.  Interesting.   Reality check.... your body is shot and 50 plastic  surgeries wouldn't matter.

I love when he is like this. I don't have time for your delusions or lies. 

[Pepper Mostly]

I love how she demands to know why she's not losing weight even though she's exercising. Like Dr. Now will change it. 

Check out there furrowed brow. She's concerned, yet truculent.

For these comments I need to stick with ginger ale. Have to stay on my toes to keep up with you guys. :-D

[Pepper Mostly]

Another wimpy handshake!

[Kid]

Good old Ashley!!!  She simply does not know why she only lost 7 pounds and wants to know what to do about it.  STICK TO THE DIET!!

There, I yelled at her for him.

[TTLY6]

Dying! "That sounds like a lot" dr now....annoyed look..."it is." I heard the unsaid Duh

That has never occurred to me. I always use a vegetable peeler for cucumbers, carrots...though I have been known to use a knife on potatoes. :-}

Ugh. I have to go to NYC every so often and it sucks. ~40 minutes just to get to the train, then an hour on the train (longer on the way home because I usually end up on a local; at least the one I get in the morning only makes two other stops), then maybe 15-20 minutes to walk to the office from Penn Station. I don't mind it once in a while but it's a looooooong day. And when I went a few weeks ago I got stuck in the city because of an accident near one of the stations (that maybe wasn't an accident) that shut down the line for two hours so I didn't get home until 9:45. I don't know how people do that commute every day.

I dunno. You seem to be hanging in there pretty well!

[Miracle Maxie]

Interesting contrast between these two. Ashley is essentially saying “Ow, my back!” and doing nothing. Diana is ignoring a knee problem to keep making progress. 

[aliya]

It's nice to exercise and have some movement, but you can't out run your mouth. I am always heartened by the diet programs used for heart patients and others who cannot exercise - and yet these folks still lose weight.

It's your mouth, not your back.

[simba barracuda]

Diana really looks great

[Kid]

Diana is melting away.

[DC Gal in VA]

Lordy, Lorry late to the party! Hey everybody. Did I miss much? 

I remember both of these subjects: Diana, former military woman, especially because she was hands down one of the most intelligent and articulate patients, as well as her family, this series has ever seen. Also Ashley who was always pleasant but a bit delusional about her "eating habit."

[CouchTater]

There, I yelled at her for him.

And track!  Prove to me you "don't eat that much" by recording everything that crosses your lips for 1 week.  Oh, don't want to do that, Ashley?  Didn't think so.

[Pepper Mostly]

Another fabulous trainer! Why are they all so charismatic and encouraging? They are always delightful.

NO SKIN SURGERY FOR YOU!!!  the way Dr. Now said this reminded me of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld.  She really doesn't get it does she????

I am imagining doing this, then I imagine slicing off a finger.  Nope, I'm too klutzy for this method.

Welcome @DEG9! Pull up a chair. Wine's over there. Red or white? 

a colleague hit her knee on the edge of a cube today.  She said, "Ow, my knee!"  In my head it was "Ow, mah layg!"  Had to turn away so she didn't see me laughing. 

[Snarkastikate]

I notice that a lot of these husbands/ significant others do not drive.   What's up with that.
