They basically have 300 extra pounds of life preservers around their middles. They may have been in danger in the pool for other reasons, but they probably couldn't get to the bottom if they tried. Yes I was about to say, fat peiple don’t sink!! Floating is very very easy for heavy people. I can float like a champ. Water activities are probably the best for them as a safe method to exercise. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89513-family-by-the-ton-general-discussion/page/10/#findComment-4974302

DC Gal in VA January 13, 2019 Share January 13, 2019 Regarding Dr. Procter and his willingness to do WLS on super morbidly obese people, does this mean that there are many more doctors joining the ranks of Dr. Now? I believe that, for the longest time, Dr. Now was the only surgeon in the USA willing to take on 600+ pound patients. I do remember that last year on the show One Ton Family, a family of three--two sisters and a their brother--it was mentioned that there was a doctor in their state, Louisiana, who also performed the same types of surgeries as Dr. Now. During that show, it was mentioned that he and Dr. Now were the only two surgeons in the country taking on these types of patients. Just wondering how many more doctors are willing to do this which I think is great since Dr. Now will probably be retiring in a few years and the people who really need help can have more options. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89513-family-by-the-ton-general-discussion/page/10/#findComment-4976729

Lean cut of meat is way better than any sausage. Sausage is at least 20% fat, sometimes as much as 50%! So it's not the fat that's the problem per se. It's the nitrates, processed meats of who knows what, and sugar drenched sauce! Everyone keeps talking about the evils of eating fat, but it's been proven over and over again that processed food and sugar is the real issue. It's a bit self-congratulatory to say that the nasty fat on steaks you don't touch is why you aren't like these people. @libgirl2 Also, taking off the fat off meat before cooking, causes it to dry out faster and not retain flavor and juices. Over 40 and killing myself at the gym did not work for me, even when I thought I was eating clean. Cutting out all processed food and added sugar did. I was close to 180 at 5'7 and now 149 without even dieting or calorie counting. Someone told me about Whole30, which helped me get started. Now I mostly eat Primal and don't worry about cutting off the fat. Full fat cottage cheese, and the rest is better than processed fat-free versions.

At first I thought Ed and Casey were equally jerktastic, but Ed is showing all kinds of layers. I was sincerely impressed when he confessed he quit his job as a firefighter because he knew he wasn't able to do his job properly at his weight/physical condition and it could put somebody's life at risk.

CrazyInAlabama January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 I'm tired of the cliff hanger of some kind of emergency for the ending of the episodes. My guess is that Ed got retired from the fire department, because he couldn't pass the physical performance tests any longer.
