Just sincerely trying to understand the depth and breadth of your legume-soup-phobia, because that's something I have never encountered before.

I don't eat only three things - fennel, eggplant and cooked onion where it is discernible on its own (like onion rings, sautéed onions as a topping, etc.) - but they don't terrify me. 

It is not a phobia as much as a visceral reaction in which my body starts to reject it at smell alone.  It's both a texture and taste issue.

With the wigs and the clothes that she chooses, Dr Lola always looks like a little girl playing dress-up!

Hi Pounders! How are y'all doing tonight? My eating habit was spaghetti and meatballs. It's been a long week. My father in law passed away last week, and we've spent the last week with my MIL. 

So sorry for your loss. Sending healing energy to you and yours.

About the only way I liked cooked onions is in ring form. But I have to be in the mood for them and that doesn't happen very often.

Never had split pea soup but it doesn't look appetizing to me. I love fresh peas, though.

Thank you. 

[Hellga]

Well, at least Kristen is still losing.

[DC Gal in VA]

Gee I think 26 pounds instead of 30 is not bad.

[Pepper Mostly]

Kirsten looks like some kind of cartoon character. 

[QuinnInND]

Kristen sounds like she needs to blow her nose. She sounds stuffed up. I'm surprised Dr Now isn't annoyed at her for not losing more. 

[TTLY6]

I kind of feel terrible. I should care but this woman...just seeing her face annoys me.

I agree. I think when they get that close but he doesn’t approve them I think it means he never intended to approve them at that appointment in the first place. 

[Threnners]

4lbs?   Good lord I gain 7lbs during shark week.

Why do these people always have anxiety? How do they function in the world?

they eat.

[Pepper Mostly]

In Kirsten's favor, she is shod, and mobile.

Yikes! Not a good way, for sure! Hope you're not having any more panic attacks now. 

No, not good. Made it hard to eat because I had trouble swallowing and was afraid I'd choke on something. Then people would tell me I looked good and I'd be like, uh, thanks... That was 15-20 years ago, though. I still get anxiety but I learned how to recognize it and talk myself down before it gets to the panic stage, so it's been quite a while since I had a true panic attack. I could stand to lose 20 pounds again but I think I'll try a different method this time.

Her voice doesn't help, either.

Kristen is doing aquatic therapy! Excellent!! 

[Hellga]

She waddles worse than most people I remember seeing on the show.  I wonder if that will go away when she loses more weight?  That posture and that gait sure will give her hip and knee pain she is complaining about.

[Miracle Maxie]

Haven’t we seen Hannah before? I know someone else did aquatic therapy but I can’t remember who. Pauline, maybe?

[Pepper Mostly]

Why can't she go to the pool every day? What is she doing?

But she is only willing to come twice a week. 

[MrHufflepuff]

You can buy clothes off the rack, Kirsten?  Big deal.  Can you clean your own va-jay-jay?  What about that?  Huh?  Huh?

Maybe she has a lot of excess skin in the way? Some of them have those hanging stomachs or lymphedema? 

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh shit, Michael's gaining again. Uh-oh. 

[OoogleEyes]

Uh oh...

[3girlsforus]

Roni - dump Michael’s ass 

[CringeWatcher]

Michael’s mammoth moobs must be terribly uncomfortable.

And still too cool for school.

[DC Gal in VA]

Uh oh Michael, no bueno! Good for you Roni, 43 pounds down! Get thee to therapy Michael!!!

Typo.

[QuinnInND]

My MIL has never watched this show. She's both horrified and fascinated. 

Michael is an asshole. Period. 

[Hellga]

Michael is not even trying to pretend to care.  Not sure whether I find this honesty refreshing or that "screw it all" attitude annoying.

Guys. No one seems to be "scared" or "nervous". However, everyone "has anxiety"

High Anxiety? (Mel Brooks reference - look it up kids. heh)

"The surgery is not a magic pill" says Dr. Now. "I mean, just look at your husband".

She is not that big (in comparison to the regulars on this show), I wish she would just keep losing without surgery.

[ams1001]

Good for Roni. 

[QuinnInND]

Good for Roni!  

[Miracle Maxie]

I’m starting to think that Michael and Kirsten deserve each other. Roni should walk away and never look back. 

[OoogleEyes]

Go Roni!

They way she positions her legs doesn't suggest a hanging stomach to me, more like her thighs being like big balloons.  I suppose she could be carrying most of her extra weight in her thighs... 

[DC Gal in VA]

WTF is Michael so angry about? I really can't remember from his original episode. I do remember him taking out his anger on both her and her kids.

Angry guys scare me when it comes to relationships. No way am I walking on eggshells waiting for him to explode and do God knows what. Just take a look at that angry abusive bastard that killed the four kids and then himself in Florida this week.

I know what you are saying but I am finding it annoying. He’s wasting people’s time and he’s affecting Roni’s ability to be successful and have a supportive partner. She even had to tell him to shut up and not ruin her mood when she was approved. He’s a selfish ass

A kindred. I had the most gawd-awful panic attacks about 20 years ago, and now just some minor anxiety. The first place I feel it is always in my throat. I thought it was just me.  Glad you’re doing better. I’d rather take a punch from mike Tyson than have a panic attack ever again.

[Lizz]

There’s such a range of mobility in these obese people.  Walkers, wheelchairs, bed bound, waddling, being carried on a stretcher by 9 paramedics.....Bonus points for actual shoes.  

i googled Cholo since I never heard of it and am adding it to Juggalo, feeder porn, and other social issues learned on the show.  

[QuinnInND]

Dr Pimple Popper??? Are you serious, TLC?? 

[DEG9]

Dr. Pimple Popper???!!!! 

GAH!!!

[zoemom]

Very late to the party all - I've been cleaning out my kitchen cabinets (just like one of those dieticians Dr. Now sends) I just had too much stuff - canned food from when I moved here in 2013.  Kinda killed my eating habit.

OOh, this girl is stressed already and sounds like she's got a baaaaaaaaaaaad attitude.
