[PrincessPurrsALot]

After being bed bound for a year, Octavia must take it upon herself to change her eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle by traveling to Houston to seek Dr. Now's help, but she must ignore her best friend who is also her worst enabler.

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

Pounders, As always, we avoid discussing how money is being snatched from the public's wallet for the poundticipants unless it’s specifically revealed on the show. Anything else is pure speculation and a slippery slope toward talking politics. 

[Miracle Maxie]

How y’all doin? It’s good to be back!

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everybody!!

[hoosiermom]

Well,I'm ready. Anyone else?

[OoogleEyes]

Good evening Pounder Pals! I'm glad to be here with you again!

[Wanda]

Great to have something better than cable news to occupy the mind

[QuinnInND]

Hi everyone! How are y'all doing tonight? 

[chickenella]

Owww my leg! Welcome back everybody!

[Guest]

Hi everyone! I'm laying in bed right now but, full disclosure, am not urinating on pee-pee pads. 

[cmpbl]

Welcome back y'all 

[Wanda]

How do you get stuck in a bed where the fire department has to get you out? And then you get right back in it?

[ams1001]

[cmpbl]

We're off to a good start she's using pee pads because she can't get out of bed.

Amateur. 

Hi Pounders!! Great to be back!!

[chickenella]

That's breakfast? Wow.

[Miracle Maxie]

So we’ve gone from showering to toileting? This is not an improvement. 

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Welcome back pounders!

Mr. Judgey and I are back and snarkier than ever!

[Wanda]

I broke my arm very badly getting kicked by a horse this summer. Had surgery 3 weeks ago. Both when it happened and after surgery I was terrified when I was so miserable I was stuck in the bed. Told my husband I might end up in Houston

[PrincessPurrsALot]

During the break your kitty mod had knee surgery.  I took every possible opportunity to say, "Ow, mah layg!"  Unfortunately no one else understood why I found that so funny. . . . 

[PeaceLily2]

How y’all doing?  Happy New Year!  I turned in a little late,  it just in time for the bath-in-the-bed scene.

[aliya]

Greetings pounders!  I am having baklava. Not on the diet, but I think Dr Now is no stranger to baklava, so he would approve.

[poeticlicensed]

I'm back! Changed streaming providers and I have TLC again! Between 90DF and this show I had to do something. I need my fix!

[Smoothcoat]

What was that breakfast?? It looked like nachos? 

[Pepper Mostly]

I am confuse. I seem to have someone named Alicia on my teevee? Not Octavia? 

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh hello my Pounder Pals! I missed you all so much.

Heh heh, is anybody waiting for the other shoe to drop as in she is speaking so sweet and softly NOW but will turn into she-beast later in the show? I am up to your B.S. TLC.

Right?! How is that not a wakeup call? Nope, just move my bed to the living room.

So I had bronchitis over Christmas and the day after Christmas I pretty much slept all day (I was off work the rest of the week, anyway), and also on New Year's Day, to a lesser extent. I can't imagine doing that all day, every day...at least I was sleeping through it.

[poeticlicensed]

Is that mattress in the living room?

She cant sit up? That must be terribly uncomfortable

[CringeWatcher]

Pounders! How y’all doin’? :-)

[ShortyMac]

Happy New Year and welcome back, everyone. 

Ooh, Lordy. This one wants BBQ and the sister wants a salad. Rolling her eyes at Octavia. Octavia doesn't want to get out of bed. 

[PeaceLily2]

OMG!  I missed the peeing on the puppy pee pads?  

[ams1001]

"If I don't do it for her she'll find someone who will."

SO WHAT?! Let her.

Breakfast nachos? Prelude to purse tacos?

She even said she feels like a dog.

[OoogleEyes]

I don't know how people can sleep on their stomachs like that. that just kills my back

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

I’m going to get fitted for my gasoline soaked drawers but I just don’t care about their sad backstories.

Don't need a purse when you never get out of bed.

[cmpbl]

Her roommate is a much nicer person than I am. 

[IOU Payne]

Hi Pounders!  How y'all doing?  Tell me about your eating habit!  I'm having diet grapefruit soda and a little bag of banana bread Shreddies.

I was up and stumbling around the house, arm in a sling, zonked on oxycodone the second I could because staying in bed is a huge fear of mine. Just can’t understand a mentality that encourages a person to give up or even want to hang out in bed.

[ShortyMac]

Absent father, mom in abusive relationships, sexual abuse/rape. Very sad.

[ams1001]

BTW, my eating habit is super-thin-crust pizza (half pepper & onion, half plain) from my favorite overpriced but yummy local pizza place (my "I'm sick on NYE and not going anywhere" treat). Unfortunately I seem to have burned this slice. :( I have one left.

[aliya]

God in heaven - you can't leave your kids with just anyone. What a sad story.  Wha - and the guy she had been crying over wasn't even her father? What the heck is going on in these families?

[cmpbl]

My eating habit was taco soup

[ShortyMac]

I am having ricotta cheese and strawberries, one of my favorite things that is healthy, but, indulgent. 

[DC Gal in VA]

Aww shit, sexual abuse AGAIN.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Princess-Hope the knee is doing well, and too bad no one understood Ow Mah Leg!, but I'm sure you said it with the enthusiasm it deserved. 

How sad, another sex abuse victim.      And finally to find out the man she thought was her dad wasn't the real one, and everyone knew.       

That takeout meal looks great to me, however I think it's the family size for four people.

[Donut Bear]

Where is the proverbial skinny boyfriend?

[Wanda]

There’s more to these people ending up this way than just sad childhoods. I watch this show and others like intervention and think, I can match stories with a lot of them but somehow I managed to become a productive person of normal weight. And then I think some of those big breakfast look really good and I want to smack myself upside the head.

Now I want ribs dang it
