Wonder if boyfriend is one of those squishers or squashers whatever the heck they're called.

Screaming! I laughed myself off of the sofa!

They're called "Squashees" and they hire "Squashers" to squish them for fun.

Fries and mashed potatoes. Together.

It's so sad that scenes like this are the norm.  It used to be a one in blue moon you'd see a person being moved by 10 firemen/paramedic guys.   Now it's like a normal everyday thing.  No one bats an eye.  I bet the firemen/ paramedic have to take  a special course in carrying 600 lb people

...

Special course with special equipment is my guess.

She had coupons for fast food, stopped before they hit the highway, and was on a first name basis with the drive through attendant.

And you are surprised, why? 😂

[Callaphera]

Honey, demanding that the underpaid drive-thru worker "listen to you good" and then smiling does not make you sweet. It makes you a bitch and that poor woman doesn't get paid enough to deal with your attitude. When that window slammed shut, I can guarantee that she was mumbling under her breath about where you could shove that fry and that mashed potato.

Signed,
someone who worked a drive thru many moons ago and would do exactly that

she hasn't been out of bed for two years, so no. But I bet her caretakers/enablers know everyone.

[WonderWuman73]

Why is the Boyfriend back there? Wouldnt put it past her to try and get him to impregnate her on the way to Houston.

She made it ! All the way to the van 10 feet from her house . YAY!

Her personal Everest. "Why did you go to the back of the van, Lashante?" "Because it, and my fast food coupons, was there"

Is the washcloth on the head a fashion statement I’m not aware of?

I should hope so.

I have a female friend who is a medically retired police officer at 41 yo. A 400lb plus woman fell on her while being loaded into an ambulance and just like that her career was over. Sucks, she still suffers chronic back pain, her pelvis was crushed.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I feel for that poor van.   It's suspension will never be the same again.   According to my maps app, Kenner LA, to Dr. Now's office is 5 hrs. 16 min., not 6 or 7 hours.   Of course, the poor van probably takes 10 minutes to get up to speed with that load in the back.    Plus, drive thru time added.

Why do they worry about 6 hours of sitting in a van?  How is it much different than sitting in bed for 6 hours?  

"Food is my reward for getting into the van."  😞  

It's harder to pee in the Tupperware bowl while traveling in the van.

[Lizz]

I had a doctor appointment today and while waiting, my husband made note of the extra wide wheelchair they had available.  He said it “ was like on my fat show.”  I’ve ruined him.

That car guru lady is also in ads for cuticle cream and depression medication. Rather unsettling.

Well, she can pee into the Tupperware so they won't have long bathroom breaks.

They sure saved the best for last,  this gal is a trip!!!   Momma don't want no fat ass daughter LOL!    Sad commentary on the deterioration of the family unit, big time.  It's almost a bad comedy.

He likes his women prone and stretched out. Looks ain’t everything ya hear me?

I was actually going to skip this one and watch Nature, but I'm so glad I didn't. We are ON FIRE tonight. heh

Yay road trip. Also its nice that she still cares enough about her appearence to do makeup.

Yeah, I was thinking I'm doing it all wrong--no makeup at ALL today, but I'm crushing the health game!

[Minivanessa]

Was there another poundticipant on the show from Kenner, LA? I could be getting my Louisiana towns mixed up . . .

Actually, that's a terrible way to talk about  and  talk to your daughter. I would never talk that way, especially on TV, about aliya jr. And yelling at her daughter for being big is not going to make her change. 

Exactly. And she's been on her about her weight since she was 10. Who was buying the food and neglecting her so she could eat whatever she wanted and get so fat? Her mother gets np kudos from me. 

[ams1001]

Do they really need to explain who Dr. Now is every time?

[mmecorday]

She sounds like Kathy Ireland on helium!

You're not wrong.  With that said, I've been surprised at how many of the poundticipants this season have been mobile.  Seems like last season, everyone was bedridden.

I'm going to go high tonight and guess 737.

You guys, her voice...it reminds me of someone.  Besides Lola, I mean.  Someone in a movie or tv show.

This place does them best.  And the proprietor said they just took their 15th award recently!

I think she meant Orthodox Christian - their holidays are often on different days than the Western Christian calendar. 

Yep,  This year it is only a week later, occasionally it does happen on the same day as Western Easter, but it can be five weeks later too...

[Deevee45]

Is her voice pitch getting higher as the show goes on?

BTW I’m also Orthodox Christian... best thing about it was getting Easter candy half priced, since we usually celebrate a week later!

I’m going to say 683.

[OoogleEyes]

I was kind of hoping that her mother was going with or so that she could tell Dr Now what her daughter was *really* eating, when she inevitably lies

• How are they going to get her out?

[Snarkastikate]

At least she's realistic about her situation, I'll say that for her.  

[SunnyBeBe]

Dr. Now real life hero....oh. he's going to love that talk. Lol

[ams1001]

I really need the "laugh" reaction to be the default for this thread. I keep accidentally clicking the heart and then having to change it.

[Hellga]

I vote 723

I predict hospital and medically controlled diet.

[Guest]

You know, when I get to meet my hero, I don't want to do it at the loading dock at a hospital from the back of the van I was hoisted into by eight fireman. 

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

I added 10 lbs for those teeth.

I couldn't gauge her height...

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.

You're allowed to do that after traveling and rushing to join the Pounders! 😉

Really? She considered being loaded into the van as being active.

I'm saying major delusions.

I think so.  Her shriek when she met Dr. Now could have shattered glass.
