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

Not literally, of course. But yes, that's how they met.

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

I must give him credit for just leaving instead of sabotaging her.  

[poeticlicensed]

She cant manage cuz no one is around to.dump her pee bucket

[shouldbedancing]

Oh yeah, this boyfriend is a huge creep red flag. He picked her up while she was in the hospital. He doesn't want her to lose too much weight. That's an easy 180 pounds she can lose right now.

Oh whoops, he lost himself. You won't be attracted to her if she loses like 300 pounds? She'll still be huge. I hate guys like the ones who take advantage of these people in their immobile situation. He knows he can find another woman like her easily.

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

Oh no, he was a weirdo from the get-go.

[LizzyB]

I can't stand it when men say "We are pregnant," like this guy just did on the Nate and Jeremiah commercial.  It's just nonsense.

662

[Caoimhe]

So we're through the first hour and she hasn't made it to the second visit yet.  Sign of failure maybe?

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

Too bad they don’t have a dog. He rat out her hiding place.

[Guest]

I guess JT is on his way to the hospital to creep on other disabled obese women on stretchers.

I mean... 

A lid for every piece of bathroom Tupperware, right?

Dr. Now said 662

Her kids.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Hey Pounders! I fell asleep and tuned in late, just as she was preparing deep fried wings in bed. What. The. Hell.

Five minutes in and the baby voice is already grating on my nerves.

Tonight’s eating habit is spicy sweet chili Doritos, Cadbury mini eggs, and raspberry tea. I’ll be Skyping with Dr. Now about my own episode tomorrow.

Yeah, he's a regular Casanova.

He's probably hanging around the emergency room now.

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.

Omg that painting of Now vs pancakes. I am dying !

[Twopper]

Wow! I thought obese-loving bf would be around a little longer, although I did expect him to bail.    If it weren't for the fact that TLC has crummy closed caps, I would turn off the sound.  Her voice sounds like Prissy in GWTW, and it is making me stabby because she is always talking.

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

I am screaming! Screaming! The neighbors are going to call for a welfare check from the cops!

[hoosiermom]

We need new piano music.

[DropTheSoap]

If she gets back to Dr. Now's, I'm guessing 682.

[Callaphera]

One hour in.

Month 3.

I'm having PTSD flashbacks of last week.

Maybe her tupperware came with some tongs.  

[ams1001]

You missed Dr. Now's call because of your busy schedule?

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

We don't know that she's *not* pregnant!

That's what I'm thinking. 

[Brooklynista]

Where was she when she missed Dr. Now's phone call? The bathroom??

[Pepper Mostly]

HOW DID SHE MISS A PHONE CALL?? She's sitting right there! Its not like she was hanging out the wash, or jogging, for Christ sake.

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

She did .  Her dad left when she was 9  and she was desperate for him to show her affection, which he never did.

We are all out of floor toilets. 

[Viqutorious]

How does she miss a phone call?

[cmpbl]

Here we go, I've got too much going on

[Hellga]

I wonder if she switches to high pitch when scared because that was her comfortable place, when she was a really young girl, and she tries to go back there.  That everyone loved her back then and maybe if she at least sounds the same - she can't look the same - they will love her too.

At least she admitted cheating.  Maybe there is hope for her.

[Uuuugghh]

Ok, serious thought here--does anybody else recognize that a pregnancy at 13 is not a symptom of being 'fast'. That's a child being manipulated and coerced by an older youth or an adult. 

And lack of real parenting. Sad

Hmmm...She keeps going in and out of baby talk/regular talk in the same voice over sentence...fake!!

Like the spectrum opposite of that Theranos founder! 

[mmecorday]

She really does sound like Butterfly McQueen sometimes.

[Pepper Mostly]

"I've got a lot going on". I think I have Bingo!

It was buried under the fried chicken she was hiding in the bed sheets and she got distracted by a thigh piece?

[MsVixen]

5' 2" and 662 pounds.  Just as round as that stone ball that almost rolled over Indiana Jones in the first movie....

[Suzywriter]

She was on the Tupperware.

[nytonc]

Financial problems. Doesn’t Dr Now realize it’s financially debilitating to cut your food bill by 600% ?

[umgoblue]

I must confess Dr. Now...I been cheatin'...followed by crazy-looking shrug...

I laughed so hard!

[Pepper Mostly]

She talks and behaves like a 5 year old. "I'll be good! Please can I stay up for another half an hour!"

[poeticlicensed]

Just close your eyes and listen to baby voice and Now with his accent talking. Its mindblowing

Yes, 662 originally.

[Snarkastikate]

JT was a hard core fast fetishist!!!   I kinda like her but geez this is gonna be tough.   OMG those blinding gold toofusses!  A full set.  I'm rooting for her, but ......

[Caoimhe]

Love Dr. Now's new goals for her!  An extra fifty pounds for every month she puts it off.

I just dumped potato chips all over my face trying to get the crumbs out of the bag. Dr. Now would be so ashamed. I kind of am too actually.

A couple weeks ago my closest colleague at school walked into my classroom at the very moment I had tipped a Pringle’s can, bottoms up, to get every last nibble. Oh, the shame.

During the Woe is my Backstory segment, she said something about how after she had given birth to her first child and had her first apartment and first fast-food job, she wished she could remain in a "child's place" for her life. 

Translation: I don't want to take any responsibility but ain't I cute?
