Yeah, the 3 graphic design people I know all went to college, have portfolios, do work for small groups like church groups to keep their hand in, etc.

Also if he really went to work at a design firm, I can guarantee (from personal experience) that the client might say he's failed in not delivering the concept they were wanting.  Maybe not so much stress in the world of t-shirt design...

Please, oh please tell me it doesn't mean that TLC is planning a third installment of the James K and Hell Spawn Lisa shit show sainte-chapelle!

I would love to get my gasoline soaked drawers and ride the bus to hell watching that mess , upon arrival I will be welcomed my Steven screaming " this is the Devil's playground. Wanna come? 

[QuinnInND]

Wow! He lost 79 lbs!! 

[Pepper Mostly]

Ashley looks good!

[Susanlynn9]

So glad Ashley lost, too.

[Guest]

How long did it take for Doug to lose the 79 pounds? I wasn't paying attention.

[Armchair Critic]

So basically Doug is ending up where he was at the beginning of the episode....zzzzzzzzzzzz

[LookABird]

I could have done without seeing him fondle the excess stomach skin.

[sainte-chapelle]

Graphic design is such an over saturated field where I am from.  I work in the Arts and so many young people are desperate for steady employment in the field.

I'm late, but hey y'all! My eating habit is nonexistent tonight. It'll probably be junk food. Sorry, Dr. Now.

 

I'm glad his wife is joining him in losing weight, but if he can't take her eating occasional carbs, he's doomed. 

[DC Gal in VA]

Yay, they both hit their goals! Anybody notice that Ashley and the office assistant that initially greets Dr. Now's patient kinda look alike?

Whoa there Doug, that excess skin near your crotch looked like an extra nutsack! 

[Miss Chevious]

I’m happy for them . I want to see success stories, not excuses.

I could have done without seeing him fondle his thigh.

Yeah, continuing success means being able to watch other people eat things and knowing they aren’t a part of your eating habit.

It would certainly be interesting and snark-worthy.

I’d love it!

Definitely not a field for thin-skinned emotional Doug.  He wouldn't last a day.

3 months? I think?

Oh, sweet baby Ruth, it feels like about 6 years. But I think it was more like 3 months.

[Smoothcoat]

Ashley’s goal is 175?? That’s still really very overweight. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Guys, I'm dying here. Of BOREDOM.

Oh yes, clients and curators are brutal! I see Doug running back to food.

I have to say this again. He does have a job. He takes care of his kids.

It’s downright obese for me, my goal is 127.  But it depends on her height and how much excess skin she has too considering she started around 300 pounds when she had her surgery.

I got up and made an omelet halfway through this episode, this is one where you can watch from the other room and not miss much. When I turned on this episode I caught the tail end of James' and he and his girlfriend still made my blood boil. So maybe Doug is a good cool down...

[Miracle Maxie]

I guess I’m just here for the train wrecks. This last bit hasn’t been inspirational, it’s been a snooze-fest.

Nudge me if I fall asleep.  Is Dr. Now slurring his words?  Having trouble understanding him a bit before he went into surgery.

[Susanlynn9]

Maybe James and Lisa wouldn't let TLC film them enough for a whole show to themselves.

[Armchair Critic]

ugh that much skin taken off from one arm?!

[QuinnInND]

7 lbs of skin off his arms! Ack!

Hey Giant Misfit! It was two months. BTW, you are being very naughty tonight, heh heh. Don't worry, I have your well-soaked gasoline saturated drawers right here!

PREACH. Highlights so far: Doug's clean house and Doug's severed flesh splayed out in the OR.

[sainte-chapelle]

I am behind and only at the therapy part now, I like her!

Heyyyy @DC Gal in VA! I jest to amuse myself enough to stay awake!

[zoemom]

Ashley is going to have to find a new Mr, Mom for a couple of months....

The way Dr. Now is talking I think we might have some trouble here still......

Aaaargh, I did the same thing too Armchair Critic and had the same reaction. I know they make for great snark, but I'll be okay with never seeing those two on my tv ever again.

Maybe Doug’s Mom can come in and help out. She owes him.

[Armchair Critic]

They have a commercial for Match.com on right now.... for this show it should be "single 600+ cutie, interests are lounging in bed and eating, needs a companion to bring me food, wipe my ass, and bathe me."

So two whole hours of Milquetoast Doug and James did not get his own episode? I call shenanigans.

I'm not a tv producer and I don't play on on tv.  Here is my opinion on James' episode.  I think James and Lisa stopped cooperating and they didn't have enough filmed for two hours.  We didn't see any of their day to day life, other than "exercising" .  We just saw them doing medical things.  I think TLC would have been all over a two hour James if it were possible.

Hey, there was a bit of drama - the new diet, the pouting (for MONTHS)  over being called a failure. The sould-searching to find out who he was... yeah, fun times that.  <sigh>

I don't think I'd leave my kids with her if I was Ashley.

[chickenella]

Sorry but this was a non-snark worthy snooze fest.  I did the dishes during her commercials , cleaned up the kitchen. I think I'll go bleach my moustache during the next commercials.

That is likely true @toodles the shenanigans were likely caused by Lisa and James.

It's pretty sad when the Subaru commercials are more exciting than this episode.....YAWN!!!!!

So was I right in the opening post?  Is he a man whose goal is to be under 600 pounds?  

[Guest]

Hey y'all! I just checked my guide to make sure this snoozefest was going to end at 10 (it does). But at 10:00 there's a show on called, "My Big Fat Summer" about "obese vacationers" who head to a "plus-size resort." TLC probably used it as an excuse to scout for future participants. 

[ShoePrincess]

II was wrong. Doug is most definitely

I'm seriously considering a third glass of whine. All this whining is making my hair hurt.
