Sorry Pounders!  My eating habits was anything that didn't eat me first!  I needed extreme comfort food after the Saints lost last weekend!

Mooch was voted out already?

I think he left

[Miracle Maxie]

Oh crap. So far, I really like this guy. If it all goes south,I’ll be unhappy.

Apparently he was up for elimination but left before the vote? All very mysterious!

Just add a Diet Coke and you're good. ;)

In my favor I never drink soda. Strictly water. Or wine if I can get it.

[LizzyB]

"The textbook definition of the red-headed step-child!" A little on the nose... Ha ha!

Yikes!

I have gastroparesis and Crohn's so can't get enough in by mouth. I'm 102 at 5'8 so I'm just a little thin (j/k)

[Scarlett45]

His Mom- seems she got clean?

[3girlsforus]

Poor kid. I’ve known a few kids who have had to do that ‘stand at the door and wait’ for a parent visit who never comes. Heartbreaking.

[DC Gal in VA]

Hey Pounder Pals! My eating habit tonight is homemade chicken, rice, and mushroom soup with regular and shiitake mushrooms.

Oh Lawdy, why oh why lay down to eat!? You walked to and used the shower AND walked to the door for delivery so why lay on your belly to eat!? I just don't get it, SMDH.

LOL! Justin thinks he's one of the "largest people alive?" Has he never seen this show?

Heh. I missed his weight at the beginning. Anyone?

This guy is articulate, and lives alone and showers himself. OK then.

I turned the TV on a few minutes early and caught the end of Robin and I was thinking about how a lot of the pounders' voiceovers sound so unnatural, I suspect because their reading skills aren't the best. The description says he is a college graduate, and it shows in his reading of his lines.

Thanks. It's my guilty pleasure. 

[Guest]

I'm not sure I can handle the actual amount of self-awareness being exhibited on this show tonight. 

[ams1001]

Oh, and he was an adorable toddler.

[Scarlett45]

Having an addict parent is very hard. Seems his Dad DID love him and tried to do right by him, but that doesn’t negate all the feelings he went through with his Mom. Also his Dad wasn’t a primary caregiver due to his work away from home. I like that he’s not blaming his parents, just saying how HE felt and what HE did. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Damn, over 300 lbs at 18?? No, dude. At least her completed college. 

[Gbb]

This guy is breaking my heart. 

[Wanda]

Is anyone else surprised we don’t see more CPAPs on this show?

There’s a lot of straight oxygen tubes up the nose. Folks are hardcore on TLC 

[Concerned]

Started his own business and bought his home, that’s impressive. Occupational hazard doing computer work from home. Social isolation and zer exercise.

And he has actually already gone to a therapist!  Wow--he's going to crush this.

[Miracle Maxie]

Okay. He’s been in therapy. That explains a lot. 

[3girlsforus]

Hmm.... this guy is really lacking on snark value. 

[Pepper Mostly]

He is actually not a bad looking guy at all. He's intelligent and thoughtful. Come on Justin! We Pounders are pulling for you!

[MsVixen]

He was not unattractive at 350+ pounds.  He must be tall.

[Wanda]

Dis is not snark worthy. He’s so earnest

[LordOfLotion]

I'm going to have to make some food at the commercial break. I'm starving!

[dreadfulLeigh]

At least he realizes it’s an addiction. But if he worked from home, I don’t understand why he has to stop. 

[ams1001]

He has a dog that can't get lost in his folds!

[Miracle Maxie]

He has an Instant Pot!

[Scarlett45]

This guy needs to see Dr Now and get into therapy to deal with his anxiety. I think if he can do both of those things he can live a full and happy life. He’s very young. 

 

My grandfather lost his vision 100% at the age of 74 due to glaucoma, it turned him into an agoraphobe. I never knew him sighted (I was only 2.5 when that happened) and he lived with us, the fear was real. He wouldn’t even sit in the backyard. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Oh, geez, so Mom’s basically been on Andy off the wagon since he was a toddler? That’s his main support person. Poor guy. 

[Wanda]

He may be unable to sit upright at a desk for long enough to work reliable hours

[3girlsforus]

This man does not need his mom right now

[Pepper Mostly]

He's. Cleaning. His. House. Guys, we are in a whole new world here. 

[LizzyB]

HE IS CLEANING HIS OWN HOUSE!!!  Is this a first on this show?!?

Awww, you be working on those drawers already!? 😅

[Wanda]

Lord, there’s the gravy covered breakfast

[Suzywriter]

Hey, Pounders, I have corrupted a friend. Say "HI" to MicheleHartley92, our newest Pounder!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Omfg that gravy. Barf!

[Guest]

WAIT! And he got therapy BEFORE the show forced him to?

Seriously! But also...

...alllllllll of this. 

I really like this guy but I really need to see some backyard bathing or complaining. 

OMG! That sausage gravy and waffles looks soooooooo good. 

[Scarlett45]

I think Justin would benefit from a weight loss support group. He’s very lonely. He needs FRIENDS. 

[Suzywriter]

What the hell was on those waffles? Cement??

[Wanda]

He’s the only person in 7 seasons to mention wanting to savor his food

[Michele Hartley 92]

Hello, everyone. 

[MsVixen]

Hi MicheleHartley92!!!

[Pepper Mostly]

OK, watching him shovel in those waffles made me dry heave. 

[Concerned]

The mother makes her morbidly obese kid sausage and gravy? She’s either trying to murder him or the heroin destroyed her brain. He needs to kick this toxic mother to the curb and stop seeing her.

[Smoothcoat]

The food that was delivered looked a lot better than whatever that slop his mom made was!
