S06.E18 James (K) & Cynthia LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Back on Dr. Nowzardan's program, James is suspected of cheating as he continues to gain weight and suffers a series of life-threatening illnesses; Cynthia continues to lode weight but seems satisfied to do so at her own pace. 

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing and again during the US West Coast showing.  Join us for the snark!

This "Where Are They Now?" type episode features two prior poundticipants who did not lose significant weight - Cynthia and James K.  Cynthia had sleeve surgery and, being adamant that she did not need psychological help, was going off to do it "her way".  James K. brought us "Ow, mah laygs!", new mattresses that make you look fat, and "It's friiiiiaaaaaaahd!"  

We are expecting a lively chat.  As always, snark the show, not fellow posters.  Politics and anything sliding down the slope toward politics is off limits. 

Let's order some (virtual) Chinese food and settle in for a few hours of excuses, whining and blurred genitalia (all blessings to the editors - may their eyes and brains heal from the horror).

Me at 8:00 p.m.: "It's James K!"

Me, at 10:00 p.m:

OML (Ow mah layg), I hope James doesn't disappoint tonight and we get some more catch phrases from him.

Make sure you accessorize with your most slimming mattress and let's go.......

[TwirlyGirly]

"I only cheated a little bit (six cans of tuna and three bags of Whiskas Temptations treats). I worked really hard! I hope I made my goal...." <wink>

[honeywest]

Journeys!

[CouchTater]

How y'all doing?

Let's go!!

[Miracle Maxie]

In honor of this episode, my eating habit tonight was pork fried rice. 

[hoosiermom]

Hi pounders. I'm on pain med for post op hip replacement so if I make no sense just move along.

[meat]

I MADE AN ACCOUNT FOR THIS!!!! Jaaaaaames, please don't disappoint! Or, uh, do, I guess. I mean 'disappoint' in a sense of entertainment value :P

[Miss Chevious]

Got my popcorn! I’m ready!

[aliya]

YASSS!  Hello, James.  Eating habit tonight - homemade vegan chili over a bit of brown rice.

[QuinnInND]

Hi fellow Pounders!!  How are you y'all doing?  My eating habit is marshmallows. Dr Now wouldn't be happy. 

[WhitneyWhit]

There's so many of us here and all I brought was one little egg roll.

[Kid]

You guys are the only reason I’m watching this train wreck tonight! I’m getting really tired of these perpetual victims.

No food tonight, seeing those horrible legs will render me unable to eat!

[LordOfLotion]

I haven't been watching these reunion shows but I had to come back and check in with James.

[Armchair Critic]

Free Bailey! I hope James' daughter is free to live her own life. I don't feel as bad for Lisa because she chose that life, Bailey can't choose who she is born to.

That's how you do it!

I had folks at work mesmerized by my James story. Especially the 100+ lb weight gain and the "You've got 800 pound of food in you."  I could not wait to leave work. 

[Miss Chevious]

We should take bets on how many EMTs it takes to move this lump back and forth into hospitals and such.

[ChickenLatte99]

Hey yall!! I'm having some Oreos with almond milk!

But you can eat it if it's fried!

[DC Gal in VA]

I have no words Giant Misfit! Yikes, those "laygs!" There it is, the first of perhaps many " Ow, Mah Laygs" tonight!

How y'all are? My eating habit tonight is baked chicken, baked sweet potato and, garlic butter lemon steamed spinach.

 

[QuinnInND]

He's such a baby. He's worked hard. Yeah...... 

[chickenella]

Awww muh legs! I can't believe it!  YOU HAVE 800 POUNDS OF FOOD IN YOU!! so happy to see this! I hope he gets a handle on things. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Ow, mah layg! Hello Pounders! this is the one we've all been waiting for! 

Frahd rice! 

[Armchair Critic]

"I don't want that shit, order me eggrolls and Friiiiiiieeeed rice". "I feel a lot looser". That still makes me LOL

[meat]

Is it ok to post personal stuff here??? Anyways... This is my guilty pleasure show. I'm hovering around 75 lbs (cancer, whoo hoo!), and can't have solid food, so it's cathartic to see people act like, well... not-people.

I'm excited for Cynthia, but James is having me hooked.

[Threnners]

I am so glad I finished my eating habit before this show started.  

[QuinnInND]

Oh! I meant to tell you guys!! Before we left Houston last weekend, I drove to see Dr Nows office!! Small thrills, I tell you!

Welcome! If you are a bad person, come sit next to me. 

[aliya]

Workmates were busy trying to figure out how many calories James had to eat to gain that much weight in such a short time and what the heck was he eating. Fun times.

[Miss Chevious]

Under 600 lbs? Let’s see if he can do it.

[Pepper Mostly]

Geez, he looks fat. must be the mattress. 

[meat]

LOL, that troll shot of a guy jogging at the opening! Really looked like a scrawny James. And he's already complaining and making excuses!

I'm so sorry! Hopefully you're in remission? (((hugs))) 

[BuddhaBelly]

I'm back in the mix guys and just in time for these two idiots.

[Oh My.]

Hey peeps!  Been since last season, but I am here and perched for the f*ckery.  Missed all of the snarky comments, specifically DC Gal in VA--no chill whatsoever.

Loved his Scarlett O'Hara moment at the end of last season. Wish he had said, like her, "I will never go hungry again!"

LOL! "He wanted me to prove to him I could do it." 

Well, DUH.

How has his energy level increased? He can pull the sheet up a little closer to his face?

FEEL HIS POWER, PEOPLE! FEEEEEEELLLL IT!!!!

[BuddhaBelly]

I'm sure this goes against everything most doctor's believe in, but I wonder how some of these patients would go on keto. Look at all the bacon and cheese.

[QuinnInND]

Oh God. Some real power?? Hahahaha!! His energy has increased?? Hahahaha!!!!

Actively battling it, actually in the hospital right now (I live here, haha). Stage IV metastatic spinal, but obviously I'm doing ok enough to complain about James.

On that note...man, he looks sickly.

[Wanda]

Hoo baby, he’s feelin’ the burn!

HA! Sounds like the guy on Ellen today talking about how he did a U turn because he recognized the mansion from The Bachelor. I hope you got pictures!

So my eating habit is a Maple walnut ice cream cone. I stopped at the local hotdog stand thinking I was going to get a dog and fries and a birch beer. I know nothing good would come of that so I figured the ice cream cone had less calories, so I ran with it and that was dinner.
