[Wanda]

now it’s the kids’ faults he can’t exercise or stay on the diet. Yup, unlikeability back.

Well they do have lots of sugar...

[Splashes]

So basically hes saying he has t lost anything.

[Wanda]

Better turn it around here son. We’re at month 3. Stop the snark in our tracks.

[Donut Bear]

He gets exhausted and worn out driving to the store but is okay to walk outside everyday? 

[umgoblue]

Hope he gets better and comes home soon...to continue to help me.

Yeah I don't see that happening.  This next appointment will be a big fail!

I've a feeling dad isn't going to make it to the end of this episode.

He had to pull a chair up to the stove to cook canned ravioli. I can’t imagine being so immobile that three minutes on my feet was too much to handle without sitting down.

I’m sorry but that father looks 20 years older than mid 70s

[Suzywriter]

I give him credit for looking after his sister's kids so that she could go stay with dad.

[Wanda]

Good dinner, bad snack

[Splashes]

Also why do all these places have so much clutter and mess everywhere?

[Guest]

OH NO! Here we are at the "I've made some mistakes" part.

I want my props for 718!

I can't lose weight if no one here is suppoooooorting me!!

You are the Queen of the Live Chat this week! Your prize is a lifetime supply of sugar free jam, yogurt and grapes.

Munt 4  how did the peanut butter sandwiches factor in do ya think?

Edited March 21, 2019 by Kid

[Miracle Maxie]

Oh Aaron. Put down the peanut butter. 

[shouldbedancing]

Okay. I just started watching. But let me say, showing this guy attempt to wipe his ass with the handle of his cane was a new low for this show. And no, that ass is not getting wiped.

[3girlsforus]

Peanut butter on bread - yea that’s low carb

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I feel like he lost weight. Maybe not 120 pound, but something. 

[cmpbl]

That plate of food was more than 400 calories especially followed by a peanut butter sandwich

They’re too exhausted to clean.

Seriously! But, three hours without a pee stop, that's where I draw the line 

I usually stop once or twice when I drive that far by myself, partly to pee, partly to stretch, and if there's a Starbucks at the rest stop, hot chocolate!

Bad health will do that; I believe he has diabetes which may not be well controlled and contributed to his heart attack.

[umgoblue]

He sure did slather that peanut butter on his bread.  Nothing like weighing/measuring it out!

[Miss Chevious]

I’m guessing he doesn’t make his goal.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Yep, you just knew the god damn show was going to cut to commercialbefore the weight reveal.

[CrazyInAlabama]

He has his a few weeks post heart attack father drive him four hours to Houston!    OK, if I didn't dislike his whiny butt before, then I do now.    Bet Dad lost the weight when his diabetes flared, people often lose a bunch of weight until they're diagnosed (at least in my mom's family).  

[DC Gal in VA]

Okay again folks, did he gain or did he lose? I'll say he lost oh about 45 pounds? But hey, I still like him and just trying to be optimistic.

Totally agree, but the whole situation was seriously stressing me out.  I had my hand on my mouth.  I can't even imagine having to leave my kids with a 700-lb mostly immobile caretaker.  Very relieved that all turned out well.

[Concerned]

Dr Now has the worst scale. Those pixels keep dancing for three minutes and they fill the time with five commercials. It does display a result until the commercials are over.

Candace Cameron Bure couldn't act her way out of a pouch of tuna.

CHICKEN!!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

@Suzywriter is our winner with an exact guess of 718 pounds!  She wins time with the tiny dog of her choosing, one free poorly drawn and horribly-placed tattoo, extra long, toilet paper holding kitchen tongs for her personal hygiene needs (much classier than a cane!), and of course the amazement of her fellow pounders!

I guess when you wallow around scarfing down food all day, there just isn’t time to clean up. 

[Caoimhe]

But he's "trying" to give it up.  Just Stop Eating It and Throw Away The Rest.  No, I'll be surprised if he even lost 20 pounds.

[Twopper]

Cripes, I hope Dad doesn't kick the bucket during this episode.

Peanut butter sandwiches are not on the approved food list.

The narration sounds like he lost a few pounds, but I am not betting on his getting approved this time around.

[cmpbl]

I say  he lost 47 lbs

[Scarlett45]

Hi everyone. Late but I made it.

Noticed the participants manage no carb, low calorie, screw the diet but no combinations. So they’ll eat enormous amounts if they think it’s no carb...then think they can have just 1 or 2 carby things. Unfortunately they find that’s not how that diet works. That’s why Dr Now stresses carbs and calories.

I hope he doesn’t.  I never like these people and am glad when they fail.  So shoot me.

[CircusPeanuts]

 My guess for his weight loss is 51 pounds 

[3girlsforus]

I say he lost 30 lbs

Then he holds the handle of the poor, abused cane to hoist up off of the can. Yeeeeech!

[Oh My.]

Maybe 42lbs.  120?  Prolly not...

[Miracle Maxie]

I’ll guess 63 lbs lost. 

[Pepper Mostly]

28 pounds lost? 

Edited to add: Heh, not so far off! Dude, quitting sugary sodas alone should have taken more than that off you!
