I figured it out: Christian invited her to move in and doesn't have the balls to tell her to move out. So he's moving her to Houston so he can get his apartment back,

This.

[umgoblue]

Christian is not moving...even Dr. Now is giving him the side-eye.

[Snarkastikate]

I don't think Christian loves her anymore...... and honestly I don't think I blame him.   

[AnnaBanana]

My prediction is either Christian refuses to move to Houston or he ends up sabotaging her.

[Susanlynn9]

"Greta" looks like it might be good.

I don't care how much she lost. I'm still having cheesecake for dinner. And cookies after that. pffft.

Im having a hotdish that would certainly fit with what some of the poundticerpants eat >..>

[CrazyInAlabama]

I think she said she met Christian when she was 29, and she's 33 now.   

Month 1 689 lbs.

Month 3 596 lbs. down 93 lbs.   And approved for surgery.

On a tacky personal note, I really hate her hair.       

Christian is getting really cold feet isn't he?   Christian is really pissed she lost that much weight isn't he?   

[DC Gal in VA]

Good for her, 92 pounds down. Uh oh, Christian doesn't seem very on point about moving to Houston. I hope Christian doesn't "Bale" on her. Get it, Bale, like the actor, not bail? Ahem, I'll see myself out.......... Hee ☺

[Miracle Maxie]

Is it wrong that I kind of want a non-compliant patient? Someone that wants to do it their own way? Right now my only hope for drama is whatever is really going on with Christian. 

[LizzyB]

Hi Pounders!  I just started about 20 minutes ago and can't even catch up with the thread yet, but I just have to say that these two have the flattest affects I think I've ever seen on this show, which--let's be honest--has featured a lot of very numb people!

[Suzywriter]

You've been waiting your whole life to lose weight? What? Weren't you gaining it during that time?

My mom and I didn't think she'd lost any weight, so pleasantly surprised she did. Christian is shady. I wonder what his deal is. 

Maybe he's trying to break into acting.  He's got the  asshole role down already.

[MsVixen]

Woman looked like she was going to lick that Cerave....

I think he's going to turn in to Christian Bail.

Um,,,,,,,,I don't see Christian making the move.  

Guess he hasn't heard of air conditioning.   Do they not have that in Oregon?

I lived in Seattle for almost 5 yrs. When looking long distance for an apartment, I couldn't understand why none of them mentioned air conditioning. When I got out there, I learned that they really don't need it. It's only really uncomfortable a few days in the summer. Even the student health service and most of the city buses didn't have air. A fan was usually enough.

My son was born in Portland, but I don't really remember the weather; I imagine it's a lot like Seattle. We didn't have air there, either, and I don't recall being uncomfortable for the year or so that we were there.

We used that to describe one glass of wine, as long as you used the same glass for each refill it was One Glass!

Yeah.  Sadly... I'm still waiting for Candi F. To show up at my front door.

It could be that he did love her when they met, but then after living together he stopped - but being not just the boyfriend but also the caregiver, he didn't have the heart to break up with her.  This may be his opportunity.

[Miracle Maxie]

In the spirit of Maja, I am going to blame her and this episode for the Jaffa cakes I am about to consume.

I predict major backsliding. Get your bingo cards ready: 

"I've cheated once or twice"

"I know my body"

"I feel that Dr. Now's diet is too extreme"

No you're not wrong,  most of us wish for the same thing.   Its our secret shame......

[55Unicorns]

I keep getting notifications on my posts, but I don't see them, when I check...what am I doing wrong?

[MelissaMinion]

He looks like a whiny little boy, flinging his arms around...

[dreadfulLeigh]

I love the name Katarina 

[Donut Bear]

Christian seems to have trouble making eye contact

[Hellga]

What's up with another person who has never been more than 10 mins away from parents/grandparents?  My parents have been shipping me off to Grandma's farm for the summer since I was 2 years old until she passed away when I was 14.  And I wholeheartedly credit that annual break from each other with our great relationship.

I'll be getting ice cream at the next commercial.

My friend has that same Kia. If I'm not mistaken, the color is called Alien Green.

Jesus, just let your mother say goodbye, 

[Suzywriter]

Christian is going? 

[Splashes]

Oh god her moms voice

[MsVixen]

Mom leaving early is a problem for Maja?  WTF was the plan?

[Pepper Mostly]

Geez, Maja, maybe if someone says something to you to hurt your feelings, maybe you could just say "that hurts my feelings and is not OK" instead of fighting and sniping and bitching and pitching a goddamn fit? 

[MelissaMinion]

Her mom has some sass! “YOU weren’t planned!”

[cmpbl]

Stop bitching at your mom and hug her

[Miracle Maxie]

The narcissistic apple didn’t fall far from the narcissistic tree, did she?

[Snarkastikate]

Geez why all the stripes?    They are fighting all the time,  i think life with her has become hell for Christian. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Mom seems very childlike. And someone who avoids emotions. Whereas Maja gives into every single drop of emotion.

Speaking of the King of Non-compliants, the Assanti Part 2 episode was on when I got home this afternoon.  When I turned the TV on, Steven had rolled off of the golf cart and his dad was screaming at him.  Now that's some family dynamics.  This year it seems like TLC is going to the other extreme, we've had mainly compliant patients this season.

OK, first she bitches and moans about her mom and how much she fed/nagged her about her weight, now she's upset that she's going to be moving away for so long.  

Can Christian look any happier that they're leaving........NOT.

[Hellga]

Be a big girl indeed!

[CrazyInAlabama]

I call bull on the rental car.    If she can fit in a Kia Soul, then she fit in the rental car.   That Kia is the Alien Green II color, she should have bought the black one, it's much more slimming.  

Note to Christian, those straps aren't going to hold all of the way to Houston.

How mean, telling her Mom to stuff it about saying goodbye.     

I hate those shrug things she keeps wearing (the half sweater sleeve things).

Maja is kind of a bitch....methinks Maja was always the problem.

[DC Gal in VA]

Geez mom and daughter dynamic is, well, beastly!

No intimacy? Does she realize that she can use her hands and mouth for things besides food?!

You made me spit out my chicken tikka masala.

[Julyolo]

Yeah Mom. Follow the script and production schedule.

[umgoblue]

She can't accept her mom leaving right now? wth

[Susanlynn9]

What a bitch! I have to admit that I kind of want her to fail with this awful attitude.

[Miss Chevious]

She’s her Mom’s Big Girl alright. Poor choice of words, Mom.
