Donut Bear January 3, 2019 Share January 3, 2019 I find it hard to believe that all these 600 pounders never have any other health problems other than weight. Almost impossible to believe. 10 Link to comment

The freakin' food is why you are immobile. Eat the hospital food and be happy. Tara didn't like the food either, but she looked at it as 'eating to lose weight.' You have to put a positive spin on it. You just want to smack some people sometimes. 9 Link to comment

My family doesn't love me enough and I didn't get it! Hi MsVixen. I got mine at QVC this past November. It was on sale for $80.00 down from $130. Also, they cut the shipping and handling from $15.00 to $7.50, I was able to get it using their Easy Pay plan, AND only they had it in PURPLE. Please check their website daily for any sales on it. BTW it's a six quart. Sorry, back to the show. Yikes, almost 700 pounds! She really is a pretty woman and am wishing her the best life after her hellish childhood. 3 Link to comment

I always say that if they weren't so damn depressing I'd actually watch them. 15 minutes ago, Miracle Maxie said: I have to tell myself that the filmed animals are all safe and warm and fed now, but it still doesn’t help much. Agree 100%. I think they should show a shot of the animal as they appeared at rescue, then the animal warm, happy, and healthy in their forever home with their adoptive family. I think they'd get a more positive reaction from that kind of ad.

CrazyInAlabama January 3, 2019 Share January 3, 2019 (edited) 692 lbs. Since she was 652 at her last weigh in years ago, I'm surprised it wasn't more. She must be short, because she looks heavier than that. I know Dr. Now doesn't like how she got to Houston, but at least she's enthusiastic, and claiming she's going to try to lose weight, and to walk again. Being able to stand, and transfer to her wheel chair is progress. I really hope she keeps trying, and improving. It occurred to me that maybe the reason so many of the patients end up in the same apartment complexes is that they're the ones that allow filming, and the film crews to park there, I'm guessing a lot of places don't allow that. On a tacky note, Marlo Thomas's facial alterations are a lot better, she used to look a lot more plastic than she does now, so I can overlook the bad nose job.

You have to put a positive spin on it. You just want to smack some people sometimes. Y'know, there are days I wish I could just have someone make me healthy food, even if it's boring, so I don't have to worry about it. I get lazy. (I could stand to lose a few pounds but I'm not anywhere near needing hospital supervision.) Pizza is gone. I have mint-chocolate-chip ice cream for dessert (Turkey Hill All Natural - that means it's good for me, right?). A couple months ago I got some Yoplait Oui yogurt, which comes in cute little glass pots. They have some flavors that come in two-packs of smaller sized pots, and I saved two of them because they are perfect for a small serving of ice cream. And they're so cute!
