On behalf of @PrincessPurrsALot, congratulations to Poundticipant @Azubah on being two pounds away from accurately guessing Lashanta's weight tonight!

You've won a screengrab of an actual painting (available for sale on Etsy) of Dr Now staring down the enemy—a plate of pancakes—or, as they are called on the show, grapes.

And because we're feeling generous, we are also throwing in a brand-new floor toilet.

Oh, thank you!! I'll never pee in my actual toilets again! I'll miss my husband, though. 

[Caoimhe]

Aw, nothing she likes is on the diet.  Cheat city!

I don't remember LaShanta saying she had any daddy issues. Poor Lola won't know what to do. 

She’ll just have her write letter to all 4 of her baby daddies.

[Pepper Mostly]

Its a lot to do. What the hell else are you doing? 

Yeah, there's nothing you like. Its a diet. Not fat heaven.

What no canned soup?  I'm proud of you!

I was just thinking that I'd make it with a can of cream of celery or cream of mushroom. I have no class.

[iwasish]

She doesn’t like anything on Dr Nows menu...

Whenever I hear of someone converting to Eastern Orthodox, I keep picturing that scene from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with the baptism in the inflatable kiddie pool.

For us in Russian Orthodox church it's just water poured over your head for adults, at least in my experience. 🙂

The fried chicken diet!! Sign me up!!

[poeticlicensed]

Oh my she is breeding food for deep frying 

[cmpbl]

Pretty sure that food is not on the diet. smh

[Guest]

"Suffering" = not eating friend chicken. 

Good to know.

[DropTheSoap]

She doesn't like the diet? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

[sainte-chapelle]

You guys I was talking about this show when I met my friends new GF....she told me she had gastric bypass and lost 109 lbs ...I quickly changed the subject...yikes..awkward but she told me she was 260...nowhere near even Whitney Thores size. Good for her!

[Wanda]

Oh god, shades of lupe and her purse tacos

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Yep, she totally just hid that fried chicken in her fat fold.

[Pepper Mostly]

She considers not eating fried chicken "suffering". Yeah, I'm not seeing success here. 

Um. If no one sees you eating fried chicken, it still has calories. 

[umgoblue]

He is FRYING chicken...umm this new diet is like new math?!

I make a 'basket' (actually, a plastic container) for aliya jr, who is 42. I'm on 2nd bag of malted milk balls. I knew I should have waited until Good Friday to buy his stuff.

eta - first storm w/new satellite system. It's not looking good.

I'm 43 and my brother just turned 46 and my mom still makes us Easter baskets (and she actually did make the baskets, too!). They're small, though. I predict a Creme Egg or two, or possibly a handful of the mini Creme eggs, chocolate-dipped Peeps (she dips them herself), and jelly beans. They also hide eggs which contain money. We each get a room and each has the same number of eggs because it all has to be equal. 😉

Oooh “don’t stop me now”. I do love me some Queen.  I even got little Judgey to tell Alexa to play that song and have a dance party with me in the kitchen.  Love that kid!

It's a great song, but ever since that movie came out, it's been EVERYWHERE.  

Did she just stash some food in one of her folds?

[ShortyMac]

Again with the 'healthy food is evil and doesn't taste good.' I love grilled chicken. Season it well, or it's so good all charred from a real grill.

[Suzywriter]

That cooking in bed stuff is so dangerous. I cringe in fear that someone is going to get burned. 

[Caoimhe]

Uh oh, boyfriend isn't happy!  Not that I think she is losing any weight.

[shouldbedancing]

I'm behind on this one. The baby voice suggests to me that she's not all there. I think her mind is protecting her from fully comprehending her situation. I guess she's the definition of "fat but healthy" Even her legs are okay. I was surprised because she's got that Jabba the Hut splayed legs thing going on. But Dr. Now has her number as usual. I gotta catch up!

[Callaphera]

Chicken juice! In bed! Right next to her bathroom Tupperware! 

You guys, I legit cried and threw up a little in my mouth. 

[DC Gal in VA]

Boyfriend is worried she might lose too much weight? Feeder creep!

[MsVixen]

"I'm still going to be sexy no matter how much weight I lose!" needs to be added to the bingo card.

My son's roommate is converting to the Eastern Orthodox church! There's a fairly strong Greek presence around here. Russian too. 

Aliya jr is thinking about this, too. My husband was Greek on his father's side. We don't have a specific Greek Orthodox church here, but the Eastern Orthodox one is open to the various types. Aliya jr would have to get out of bed on Sunday first, so I'm not holding my breath.

[SunnyBeBe]

He takes the term chubby chaser to a whole other level......

[umgoblue]

They can eat grilled chicken too...SNEAK a little and hide it behind the pillow...

In front of the camera...SMDH

[WonderWuman73]

Lmfao oh god. This episode is too much. Hiding chicken...the side table! I knew she'd hide more food in there

[Suzywriter]

Uh oh...the chubby-chasing enabler struggle is about to emerge. 

[ams1001]

She didn't even lose anything and the boyfriend left already?

[Hellga]

Cheating!!!

You don't have to cook separately for your family.  They can either get "off-diet" food for themselves (cook it or buy it) or learn to eat healthy.  She is lying to herself here, she is cooking junk food precisely so she can sneak some in for herself.

At least she lost the weight in JT equivalent.  Gotta be 170-200 pounds!

[ShortyMac]

JT left her because she wants to lose weight. I'm shocked, I tell you. A true chubby chaser.

[Any day now]

Oh boy! JT pulled a Gareth. That was fast!

[Wanda]

JT thought she’s lost too much weight? He must be rooming with Gareth

Sleepy typing

[Pepper Mostly]

JT pre-emptively dumped her. She hasn't lost an ounce yet, JT! 

[poeticlicensed]

JT is gone. Chips come out.

I got a "big-assed" mailer about a sale at my grocery store. Tomorrow only. Is it a sin if I shop for food while Dr Now is on?

And, because this is the Midwest, I got a postcard today from my insurance agent announcing an 'appreciation' BBQ. Does your agent do that for you?

This is Iowa. I don't eat pork, but there is a big pig silhouette on the front. I'm pretty sure the Johnson County Pork Producers is footing the bill for this one. Maybe they'll have some tofu.

Absolutely none of this sounds like the part of New England where I live!  I love hearing these details about other parts of the U.S. 😎

[umgoblue]

Uh..oh..he doesn't want her to lose too much weight.  They will be broken up by the end of the episode unless she fails on the program..

[Hana Chan]

Not a surprise that the chubby chaser takes off at the first sign of a diet.

I couldn't even finish the sentence before she intones...he broke up with me!

Silver lining...at least she didn't have a child with him!

[Ivylady]

I'm glad he left now instead of steadily sabotaging her, but he's a POS.

[cmpbl]

Bye J.T. I really don't think he had to worry about her losing too much weight.

[ams1001]

Sing-songy whining.

Truthfully, I'd have it with cream of mushroom, ground beef, French green beans, and tots, no cheese.  The way my mom fixed it.

[Callaphera]

Was J.T. the one that picked her up when she was on a gurney in the hospital? 

[Concerned]

The boyfriend left when she dropped below 662? He quickly went from saint to weirdo.

[Suzywriter]

"the help I need" is a Crystal Rock dispenser and a supply of paper cups. 

[Donut Bear]

Who is going to wipe her ass?
