I just looked at the description on my channel guide thingy and it says "when her best friend turns out to be her worst enabler"...uh oh.

Oh, that bodes well.

[hoosiermom]

I first read that as KFC department.

[PeaceLily2]

I would be mortified if that many had to show up to move my fat ass. 

[cmpbl]

This move should be good.

[ams1001]

OMG CUTE BEBEH!!

Sorry, just saw the adorable baby. Is that her niece?

Anyone manage to count the number of firefighters?

I want one of those Instant Pots so badly that I put it on my Christmas wish list.  My family doesn't love me enough and I didn't get it!  

Aw, sorry Ms V. Amazon has had them on sale, maybe you could just treat yourself. It sure is easy to use. 

[ShortyMac]

I try to remember that we all have our issues and unhealthy ways of coping. I come from a family where food is comforting and we show love with food and sweets. That balance with eating and enjoying and eating for proper health can be tough to maintain. I tend to eat out of boredom, not because of emotions. Tracking food helps with accountability. 

35lbs ago, I felt like a whale at nowhere near these people's size. I don't want to ever go back to the person I was then in 2014.

My dad counted 8.

Hahaha! That would be fitting! 

 

"Let's get you rolling!"   oh. You meant on a stretcher... I'll grab a pair of gasoline soaked undies on my way out. 

[Wanda]

If it takes 6 strong men to move you to your van, perhaps you might need professional medical transportation? 

[Miracle Maxie]

Who’s going to get her out at the other end?

[MsVixen]

Which size did you get?  

[CrazyInAlabama]

She's not leaving 'everything she knows', she's taking her friend with her, and packing enough for a family of six to move to Houston.     Bless the EMTs and fire departments that help these people move out of their houses.     She dressed very nicely for the move, no blurring shots needed.    So she's going to Houston in a panel van?     That looks like a great solution.    What a supportive family they are.   

[mysticalflute]

Oh no the babies are crying!!

Yes. Adorable isn't she? 

[Guest]

I wish grandma added an extra prayer in there for the speedy removal of Octavia's beard.

Hospital personnel have always done it. They are used to Dr Nows’ patients.

 

ok she’s taken 3 days so they must have had EMTs in every town unload her at the hotels

So is there a camera man  in the van with her?

It’s bad enough being stuck in that position, but how in the heck does one eat whilst lying on her stomach? How? 

I love the word whilst!  And I  have wondered over the years how they eat without regurgitation.  Must be a talent they develop once they hit 599 lbs.

Probably some emts in Houston. 

[cmpbl]

I don't think traveling in this van was what Dr. Now wanted .

Edited January 3, 2019 by cmpbl

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

I would get so fucking carsick lying in the back of a van with no windows.

[mysticalflute]

I had a feeling she'd be taken straight to the hospital.

Probably a GoPro or three.

I love that Octavia has a handy can of Febreze by her bed. I suspect the fumes wafting from the pads need to be eradicated prior to eating lunch.

Howdee GiantMisfit. Just wanted you to know that I have your sopping wet, gasoline soaked drawers at the ready! Knowing all my Pounder Pals, I am sure I will need many more.

They can set up cameras in the cars. Like go pros.

I got a 6 quart ultra. I cook on the weekends for the week and it’s a good size.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Well Dr. Now, it’s not as if she could fit her huge mattress into the back of an ambulance...that’s more important than having medical personnel on hand.

[Pepper Mostly]

Is that Enabling Friend who's there with her? 

[DC Gal in VA]

Yeah and it's even worse when they're all buff and hottie, hot, hot!

Not to mention not being able to stuff down chips and stop at every Stuckey's and Cracker Barrel on the way.

I can get carsick without even being in a car...

Good thing they had the fire department out, then!

I felt that way about a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I waited and waited years and no mixer. Finally, I bought it for myself a couple of years ago. 

Maybe it's me, but when Dr Now says, "Octavia," it sounds like 'Activia,' the yogurt.

I’m going to make a guess and say she pee & poop padded the whole way to TX.

It sure looked like her.  Wait til Dr. Now finds out ....

At first I was thinking about getting a 3 quart as I live alone.  However, most of the healthy Instapot recipes require the 6 quart so that's what I'm going to buy.

Anyone else getting the SPCA commercial? Breaks my heart, and I have to change the channel.

And St Jude’s hospital. It’s like they’re trying to make us all feel guilty for watching this show.

Cackle, cackle, snort...oh how I’ve missed my pounder pals!

She said the friend was coming because her roommate was her enabler...but this is the friend who brought her sexually-suggestive snacks...

She said all the loading and unloading got to her (or words to that effect).

I love my Kitchen Aid mixer! And I found it at GOODWILL for $25!

Exactly. And I don’t dare cook without a recipe. It never turns out well!

[toodles]

Hey Pounders.  Good to be back.  My eating habit is sugar free cookies  (I'm diabetic) and peppermint tea.

I must have missed that.  

[Lizz]

Welcome back, everybody!  

i believe we have a winner with the most EMT’s ever needed to do the lifting!  Runner up award for Octavia being completely dressed and not caterwauling while being moved. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Marlo Thomas does wonderful work for St. Jude, so I feel terrible about snarking on her for her terrible nose job. Pass me a few more pairs of those gasoline soaked undies, will ya?

A friend of mine coveted a KA stand mixer and finally got one a few years ago. She was ecstatic!

Maybe Activia would do her some good...?

Man, I managed to forget about all the sister wife shows (and Whitney). Damn.

[mysticalflute]

I was hoping that we were done with the sister wife shows. Sigh.
