Maybe he just doesn't care about it. Being gay would have nothing to do with it. Plenty of people just don't care about sex or don't want it, gay or not.

quite often people who are heavy have lower testosterone levels, which can affect sex drive.

[Guest]

Taylor looks larger than ever.

[shouldbedancing]

whoa sweet little Tayler! who knew she had it in her

[Pepper Mostly]

"breaking point" is on the bingo card, right?

You must be really excited for him! 🤣

Tee hee, I think it's this new format. I kept hitting reply and it wasn't going through. 😕

[Oh My.]

Cracks in the foundation...

Which episode was James?

James K was the guy whose girlfriend kept giving in to his whining and yelling and overfed him. Dr Now scolded them and kicked them out of the program bc James just gained and gained. Totally bedridden, huge, selfish. Girlfriend was beaten down from his abuse and having to clean his rotting body.

[Midnightblue]

"Are you ready for breakfast?" = "When are you going to make my breakfast?"

[ChickenLatte99]

This drama seems so manufactured to me, so forced.

Yup. I use the pens, which are mostly painless. Weak as water, weak as water.

He’s been autistic since being diagnosed at 18 months. So he has fixated on what he learned. He will only allow needles to be used, no pump so we have to do finger sticks, won’t wear a watch for easier monitoring, won’t let anyone near him with a pen or to give the shots in his arm or legs. But if he sees a syringe he gets in position for a shot on his stomach or hips without a second thought. Or sees a meter he will give his finger for checking.

[Kid]

How did I know the girlfriend was going to be a problem? She’s like the wife that gets all pissed off when the drunk quits drinking.

He better be able to do it without her or he’s going to fail.

You feel trapped now that he's losing weight? She's one of those types who likes them fat and helpless.

[Pepper Mostly]

So, do you think Taylor feels trapped? I just have a hunch. 

[88Keys]

Oh no...I smell a break-up coming on...

[Brooklynista]

Brandon honey, if you lose weight she'll have one less excuse why she can't have sex with you.

Me thinks she don't want any peen.

[OoogleEyes]

She *is* trapped

[String Theory]

Sounds like Tayler is about ready to jump the ship!

[3girlsforus]

The girlfriend is telling you she feels trapped and you tell her ‘I can’t do this without you’. Wonder why she feels trapped.

And sexless. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

There have been several James, James K with Lisa (who on the update show was shown to be more a feeder, and evil than the enabler she claimed to be), and James LB Bonner, are two that come to mind.

I wonder what Tayler's real reason for backing out is?   

[poeticlicensed]

James K is the gold standard of trainwrecks. I will never forget that he claimed that the mattress made him look fat.

[DEG9]

The dynamics of all of them is so highly dysfunctional, I can't tell who is really at fault. Except he's a whiney baby, she's an idiot, and mom is useless.

Wow, his girlfriend acts like she's seen this panic attack stuff before. Hey I can't snark because I've had the before and they are horrifying. My first one was while I was driving on Interstate 395, a local highway in the D.C. Metro area, and going at least 65 miles per hour. Terrifying.

My first was while I was at work (behind a cash register at a bookstore); luckily it was late and quiet and I had a coworker/friend up there with me. My dad had to come get me, though. I've had a few while driving before I learned how to calm myself down. The driving thing was one of the factors that pushed me to learn to get it under control, because I couldn't not be able to drive (hard to get around here without a car).

I'm not a fan of needles.  I look away, and think of England. 

I don't watch them put it in but I don't mind watching the blood vial fill up.

Do any of these folks own "real" shoes?  Living in Ohio, right now I wouldn't choose flip flops as my first choice.

Last week's (or was it the week before?) subject had some nice shoes. Slip-ons, but like loafers and nice flats.

Now girlfriend doesn't want to go to Houston?

[umgoblue]

"Me and Taylor"...once...just once can we have someone take command of the Queen's English?!!?!

But at least it's not..."Jimmy and me."  That replayed in my mind for a few weeks after that episode.  Even Mr. UMGOBLUE would randomly shout out, "Jimmy and me," for a week. He doesn't even watch this show. 😂

Don’t forget in his follow up we see that his girlfriend is so fed up she bleaches her hair and tried to kill him by over feeding.  That was a disturbing episode, but I couldn’t look away!!!

I hate it when they make their weight loss goal. 

Come sit with me and we can make s’mores,over our gasoline soaked drawers

[Psycho Suzy]

My eating habit tonight is beanie weenies and mac and cheese. Man, I am so sick of all these really likable people!

[Splashes]

Theye cuts are really aggressive this episode.

[Snarkastikate]

Maybe she's not ready to move so darn far away from her family and friends just to be her morbidly obese BF's nurse and caretaker.  I honestly don't blame her.  She's only a young girl.  

[String Theory]

Maybe the thought of him losing all the weight will make everything "different"and she likes to be in the position of caregiver.  The fact that she can't leave her family seems a bit lame IMO.

Then we had the opposite when Hector busted Lupe's surgery stitches open from sex? YIKES!

!!!!  I had mine on the highway too at 65 MPH.  I think it left me with PTSD.  Panic attacks are NO JOKE.

Thanks Granny58 for saying this. I thought that I was the only person on planet Earth that had this happen to them. You're right, no joke at all.

There was a James in the very early seasons.  He lost a zillion pounds, but it apprears he never did marry Summer.

[Psycho Suzy]

Oh oh, Taylors's flipping her shit.

[Ellie Godfrey]

James K gave us "Ow! Ma leg!"

Edited February 14, 2019 by Godfrey

[3girlsforus]

Well gee - no job or place to live - how dare Tayler think you need those things.

[ChickenLatte99]

I think her family realizes this is a big mistake.

OMG - I’m having a panic attack just thinking about that!!!! 

(Fellow DC area friend. Don’t you just love the traffic?!?!?!)

Oh yes, especially The Mixing Bowl dontcha know. Hey, you have to be from this area to know what that means, lol!😁

[DEG9]

So, apparently both of them have family attachment issues. Very unhealthy, on top of the rest of their crap

[Stusan]

My husband and I still bandy about the "Ow, ma leg," phrase from time to time, and he never even saw the show, just heard the blow-by-blow from me!

[Guest]

Thank you TLC for blurring out that bed scene.

A moment that has moved into My 600 Pound Life history!

Jesus, Taylor's family, what's with all the hugging and weeping? She's not dying. She's moving to Texas. Now, i'm from Massachusetts and I'd probably rather be put out to sea on an ice floe with a couple of rabid wolverines than move to Texas (pax to my fellow Pounders who are Texans!), but my family wouldn't pat my hair and weep like Niobe if I had to go there temporarily.

Bleach for my eyes...why the blurred out crotch view (that I couldn't even see, but was forced to imagine)!

Once again another of Dr. Now's patients who has a very low tolerance for pain.

I don't think her family not wanting her to move thousands of miles away with her boyfriend in what may very well be an unhealthy relationship is necessarily an attachment issue.
