You're guessing her nephew, Dr. Now? You are probably psychic!

They got there the night before and stayed in a motel 

I thought they got a motel just when they hit the TX border and drove straight to the appt the next day? Plus others have gone straight to the office or planned to and had to be diverted to the hospital via phone calls to Dr Now.

He needs to start Robyn at least with therapy immediately.

Re:  The last commercial for My Big, Far Fabulous Life:

When it comes to her, the two words "Whitney" and "empowerment" should NEVER be used in the same sentence!

If she keeps at it, she'll be the next patient for Dr. Now.

Them wearing tie-die tops in the same colors is kinda cute.

James looks positively tiny between the two of them

Hey, y’all! I’m following along with the snark but I’m about 20 minutes behind lol

[ams1001]

How many of her tats are turtles? I just realized the one on her leg appears to be a baby sea turtle heading for... uh...

[88Keys]

Well, now they are all in tie-dye, so they are super-noticeable.

She is 648.7 (basically, 650) and he is 607.3,  Yeah, he isn't "as bad yet" but that difference is not clinically meaningful.  Both numbers are way off the charts!

[3girlsforus]

Food journal!! I’d love to believe it. It’s a good idea.

[MsVixen]

I'm thinking that the darkening of her lower legs has to do with circulation.  I've seen that on elderly people's legs.

She can walk into that restaurant to eat but can't walk into Dr. Now's office 

[Miracle Maxie]

Nearly a whole hour just to get them to Houston? That doesn’t leave a lot of time for the inevitable failures before therapy miraculously turns them into a success story.

Robin-648

Garrett-607

Garrett has the emotions of a turnip.   20 years old!      I bet granny at the house was late daddy's mom, since she was smaller too, or maybe that was James' mom?    

I wonder how much the father/brother Chris weighs?   

3 weeks later-Garrett's face looks better.    How can he lose with eating bread, pizza, and junk.  How can you be 'unable' to eat decent food?

[ams1001]

Another dog? How many pets do they have?

Sorry, nephew, but the earring? No.

"I'm not able to eat good food...all the unhealthy things." Dude, you need to revamp your definition of "good food."

[WhitneyWhit]

I'm so judgey but the only thing I can focus on is how filthy that stove is.

[Suzywriter]

The patient is making her own food!

Did he say that? That’s he’s not as bad? Dude, your effing 20 yo. You’re worse. Definitely worse.

Any chance garret changes his name to Lola?

I'm in Warwick, RI...along with my kitty, Nicodemus von Wittykitty. So we're kinda neighbors, right? Right? (Wants to be part of the cool crowd)

[Kvv9862]

I’m just over here patiently waiting for that one episode in the season that is an absolute disaster from start to finish. And when it comes it’ll be glorious 

[CSunshine76]

I dont get why the majority of these folks can’t keep their houses clean.  You can get up to get food, you can push a vacuum.  It’s disgusting.

[3girlsforus]

I am sensing complications from her feet down the road - the camera focused directly on them. 

Wait - they went back to Kansas????

Originally choosing to camouflage themselves, the 600 pound family members have entered mating season.  They are now showing their full, magnificent colors in hopes of attracting mates or people willing to provide enormous quantities of food.

Yeah, they better have a James K., Penny, or Pauline somewhere on the schedule!

Lived in Wellesley, commuted to middleboro everyday for 10 years until moving to Sharon which cut the commute in half and removed 95 from the equation. But getting to the city now means 93 instead of the pike. That’s a pain.

Yep, I had a few DVTs and my calf looked bruised and purple. I assumed it was a work out injury but birth control plus 8 hour flight apparently equals DVT. Edited to note I was pissed, I excercise and eat healthy most of the time and have never been overweight. I do like wine though lol. How come none of these folks ever get a DVT?

It's not healthy ingredients' fault that you can't cook!!!  Taste buds actually reset back to baseline after 2-3 weeks after someone stops eating oversalted/oversugared stuff.

@TwirlyGirly, you are the queen of the cool crowd. My son went to Johnson & Wales in Providence so I consider RI practically next door!

No, she said before he was weighed that she hoped he would not be as bad as she is.

"You have 800 pound of food in you!"

Me, too. We had family friends who we called "Auntie" and "Uncle" (don't really know why; their kids didn't call my parents that) when we were kids but switched to just first names when we got older, but actual aunts and uncles we've always used the title.

 

I'm always wondering what's going through the head of the dark-haired one.

He's 20; his dad was supposed to go with her but he had a heart attack.

And lived........................😠
