[umgoblue]

662?!

Apparently, I miscalculated her gold teeth as 24ct instead of 14ct...that changes things!

My Easter candy is gone. I gave to refill the basket I made for my niece. I am ashamed. 

I got some Dove milk chocolate "eggs" (they're more like half-spheres) yesterday and put them in the candy jar but actually haven't eaten any. My candy jar at home is clear glass and right at the entrance to the living room so I pass it frequently. At work I have the same candy in a metal can off to the side of my desk so they are not in my line of vision but I eat several a day. I'm thinking about what this means for my eating habit.

That skinny boyfriend could get stuck in a fold and never be heard from again. 

[poeticlicensed]

Dr. Now wants her to walk. That's not going to go over well. Like the no carb, high protein diet.

[WonderWuman73]

 I thought she’d weigh more.

[nokat]

Oh, 662, one hamburger away.

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Dr Now needs to think of us, we desperately need to know what she weighs, and right now.  

682, I'm shocked it's not 700 +

What’s going on with her hair?  She’s got a conehead thing happening up there.

Oh that's what we call a cheap ass wig.

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?

....yes.  Is this not normal outside of the Midwest?  Our local bank has a day where they grill and serve free hot dogs, too.

"There's no reason for you to be in this bed any longer."

[DropTheSoap]

Guessing 5'.

Also guessing she's modify the diet to include everything she was eating before plus the 1200 calorie diet plus no exercise.

[Hana Chan]

Oh Gods... did she just squee?

[nytonc]

Hi all! Had a hard time logging in here. I’m so far behind 😩

It’ll be half price soon... those lovely Lindts bunnies and jelly bellies!!! Ummm Maited milk eggs.  Cadbury eggs. 

I watched Gone with the Wind the other night. She sounds like Prissy. Prissy didn’t know nothing about birthing babies either. 

Yes.  I said that to my husband before he listened and then disappeared to the other tv to watch his endless repeats of NCIS.

Ooh. I love casseroles! What ks your recipe?

My favorite hotdish I make is ground beef and a chopped onion mixed with condensed tomato soup with garlic and red pepper and paprika then a layer of cheese (optional) and a layer of tatertots topped with a layer of bacon (also optional). Its delicious but I dont want to know the calories.

 I call it my right fancy TTC 

 Brown 1 pound beef. Add to casserole dish. Chop onion. Sauté with garlic. Add to dish. Combine with 1 tablespoon Worcestersire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, petite early harvest frozen peas, a can of mushrooms. Mix well. Top with crispy crown  tater tots and bake  

 I blame my addiction to this comfort food on the Duggers 

 Edited to add… Forgot the most important ingredient! Roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup

She sounds and acts like a child.

[umgoblue]

Did she just screech/squeal and stick her tongue out at Dr. Now?!?!

Has he found his next wife?  Yikes!

[LizzyB]

"Dr. Now don't play."  You said it!

I am amazed that these people rarely seem to have any health problems aside from obesity

I've mentioned it before, but years ago I read that, contrary to popular opinion, many morbidly obese people are not diabetic. The theory was that a diagnosis of diabetes put some folks on the straight and narrow. They start taking care of themselves (or in different ways, I am not accusing diabetics [of which I am one] of not taking care of themselves). Without the diagnosis, some just keep engaging in bad behaviors - and for some, the result is morbid obesity.

"Dr Now don't play!"  I hope she takes those words to heart and makes the big changes she needs to make. We'll see.

[ShortyMac]

If she really cared about her kids, she wouldn't have let herself get like that to begin with.

Omg please send her to see Lola! It will be the epic battle of the baby voices

She still has coupons, the diet will have to wait.

Ah. Well I probably wont try this. Im not a big fan or mushrooms. They made it hard to breathe and make my face well up like a dog that ate a bee.

[Julyolo]

I am hoping she is just simple-minded enough to follow his instructions. Not seeing any signs that she complicates things by overthinking. 

[umgoblue]

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

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

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!

Another Orthodox Christian here. Did not realize there were some here.

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

I cannot deal with this voice. Have it on mute and am reading the captions. Otherwise, i'd end up ripping my ears off my head. heh

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. 

Jennifer Tilly?

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

[Guest]

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.

[MsVixen]

QUICK!!!  Someone get Chrissy Metz an appointment with Dr. Now!

Do people really buy a car without seeing it and test driving it? I would never buy one like that.

How y’all doin’? I’m just now firing it up. Judging by the posts, this might be a good one. My eating habit is also pizza. Totally homemade, and baked in my air fryer. Yum. And wine, because...oh who am I kidding? There’s always wine on 600 lb night 😊

I'll drink to that🍷

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

[Suzywriter]

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.

I'm from DC and lived mostly on the east coast. Our merchants out here frequently have BBQs and other food events. I never heard of anything like it where I've lived before. Shoot - my grocery store has a guy out front on a grill several times a month during good weather.

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.

I think here it was meant "no urgent problems requiring hospitalization", not that they don't have any health problems.  The same applies to most of them.  But this is not a healthcare show, this is an obesity show, even more specifically -  obesity related to overeating driven by psychological factors show.

[DEG9]

I'm willing to be there is stuff in her past she is not acknowledging, that stuck her in baby voice/arrested development mode.

[Twopper]

Boy, if this is a train wreck, it is a slow moving one.  45 minutes in and she is just going home after her initial consult.  I guess he now has everyone who travels by car come straight to the hospital.   For a minute, when the EMTs moved her out of her house I  thought they were going to use one of those handled tarps like Milla's children used to sling her around. 

I did have to laugh at the fast food place when she said her friend at the window was surprised to see her "out and active."  Well, I guess she's active if you count eating in the car as an activity.

Me too, very frustrating!  She's such a sexy thang, ain't she?  How the hell is this going to work, I just don't see it but hell, who knows?  Clean bill of health, how I do not know.  

[gardendiva]

It’s kind of interesting. She doesn’t seem to have the negative, complaining attitude that some of them have, she didn’t whine about enormous pain after her car ride, and she seems generally to have a rather sunny disposition. What I mean by this is that she doesn’t seem to have any toxic personality disorders hindering her progress. Maybe there is hope.
