Family By The Ton - General Discussion

[MsVixen]

A Family full of Good Ol' Boys!!!!  This should be fun!!!!

[Suzywriter]

Hi! So glad to be back!

[Wanda]

Whoa. This Casey dude brings so many things to mind that aren’t even fun snark so I won’t say them.

[Guest]

Because those McDonald's cheeseburgers, man. They're notorious for being under-salted. Pour it on, Casey!

[OoogleEyes]

Wow, he's kind of an asshole 

[Suzywriter]

This dude is an anus.

[Wanda]

This is family by the multi ton

[CrazyInAlabama]

I can't believe the 34 year old, Casey!    And the enabler father says the son should take responsibility?     What a jerk the dad is, because what is Jabba the Butt going to do if he tossed a bottle of water, and a bunless hamburger three times a day?    I doubt running after his dad is a possibility.         It's the father's fault too.  

The girl in purple (Amanda I guess?)  is deluding herself.   She was a huge kid, and never was skinny.     It scares me that the only solution for the cancer surgery is to do it tilted so she can't survive it.       You can't tell me that they couldn't find another way to do surgery for a total hysterectomy on her.  

I don't know why they call this Family by the Ton, that picnic is more like Jabba the Butt's family reunion.      They should all get in the program, and get a group discount.

Why does his dad let him treat him that way. Not a please or thanks was said.

[aliya]

I can't believe this dude is just sitting naked in the bed playing video games. His mother had the right idea - his father should have followed suit. No way would Aliya jr be allowed to just sit in bed and blow up like that. No way would he let me sit in bed and blow up like that, either.

I don't understand either.  Most Good Ol' Boys would have smacked the sh!t out a child if they talked back.  Damn whatever Child Protection would do!

So food is more important than finding out if your Cancer has spread??

Seriously, if she’s not successful then nothing will motivate her

[Scarlett45]

Hello everyone! I just tuned into the episode. The family from last season was so likeable and supportive of each other I’m afraid for the worst here. But good to see people making changes.

She only had to lose 45lbs

[Guest]

She never specified what kind of cancer she had but I'm curious why it wasn't at least removed!

Are you kidding? She only had to lose 45 pounds and needs a gastric sleeve/bypass to do that?! That's NUTS. Jesus.

It might be encased by the fat.

She said she's too fat for surgery. It's dangerous at her current weight 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I thought she had to lose 100 pounds to qualify for the surgery for her endometrial cancer.  And if the doctors are refusing cancer surgery because of her weight, a pox on all their houses! 

[MsVixen]

Amy is somewhat attractive....

Right? That's bullshit. She has endometrial cancer—she likely needs a hysterectomy and a CT scan to see if it spread. How can they NOT do that??

I thought she said she weighed 645 and had to get under 600, but I might have heard wrong.

[MsVixen]

Was that butter in the sauce pan?  I couldn't tell what Amy was cooking.

I think she was melting Velveeta to make her queso.

I think Amy is pretty. She wasn’t that large as a child, I wonder what happened to make her balloon up. Or is she also super short?!!!

I thought it was butter too but that makes sense, thanks. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

The poor neighbors!    Casey taking a bath in that huge tub is disgusting.   

I can see why Amy weighs what she does, with the way she cooks.   Saying you're not as bad as a 700+ cousin is ridiculous.   At 379, she must be very short, because she looks almost as big as her 622 lb cousin Amanda.    

[MsVixen]

I wonder what brand of scale they are using.  If it can go over 600 pounds, then everybody in Dr. Now's practice could be weighing themselves to keep on track.

I was a little surprised she was under 400..

[CrazyInAlabama]

I thought taking the scale outside and bashing it was ridiculous.    

I wonder if Casey would have been wearing shorts if the cameras weren't filming it?

[Suzywriter]

I want to help beat the scale. Mine insults me daily. Just sayin'.

[MsVixen]

Hey everybody, this is my first night in this forum.  Do you all snark a great deal or will I have to be on my best behavior?

[Scarlett45]

She’s probably short (like 5’2) and the belly fat can make you look bigger. 

[ams1001]

Was he putting dish soap in his tub? And why not put up a curtain, at least?

"I love him to death" ... yes, yes you are.

Edited January 3, 2019 by ams1001

[cmpbl]

Did he put dishwashing detergent in that water?

Oh no, feel free to snark away!

They're all gross.

I feel nauseous.

The answer to your first question is, "yes." As for the second, I'll guess it's because he's an asshole who just doesn't care?

[Scarlett45]

I thought it was head and shoulders shampoo or something. 

[ams1001]

So he sits on his bed naked and plays video games but he needs shorts to bathe? I don't get it (or was that just for the camera? or the neighbors?).

[Wanda]

He sits around naked playing video games everyday, and did that on camera, but bathes in shorts?!

[cmpbl]

Well papa the change is going to have to start with you.

[ams1001]

Just now, Scarlett45 said:

That was after he was in the tub. Before that he poured in some green soap from a bottle shaped like the hourglass type some dish soaps come in.

[CrazyInAlabama]

My guess is the second Amanda was told she had endometrial cancer, and that the way they wanted to do the surgery, that she left and didn't go back.    There must be another way to do that surgery that won't kill her, no matter what her weight.       That doctor should have referred her to a university hospital, since they live near Atlanta (I guess it's near), then some place like Emory would be a good second opinion.     Unless there's a limited network for her health insurance or something.

I assumed that was for the camera.

Jeez. I was in the kitchen (ha ha) and when I looked at the TV, she was putting big hunks o'something in the pan. She ate that much cheese by herself?? And yet, all of these people say they don't have any other options. Stop eating 2 lbs of cheese in one go. There's a good option right there.

That what I was wondering 

[DC Gal in VA]

Okay, did Casey say that he's almost like a pig having to bathe in that outside, well, whatever it is? That jerk needs to apologize to all the real life pigs out there. Seriously, Casey is the most repulsive, laxy, entitled POS I have seen on these mega weight loss shows in a long time, and that's saying something. Amazing that one of the cousins is "only" 379 pounds.

And it looked like she was drinking soda from her large teacup (not that I'm above drinking soda from a teacup, but I suspect I drink it a lot less frequently than she does).
