Good evening, all... how y'all doin?  Eating habit is my chopped salad...and im rooting for Janine but...snark on!

I'm waiting for this to arrive from QVC. I love a chopped salad and like that you can do everything at once.  Plus, I'm a sucker for kitchen gadgets. They had a cheaper version at walmart, but this one is bigger and has a bowl you can keep the salad in. 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Anyone want to join me at the gym tomorrow 5am?  I'm thinking about legs & abs.

[hoosiermom]

So is this the start of the update yet?

How did she go from orange crush to purple hair?

Oranges to grapes, that’s how she failed to lose any weight. 

[OoogleEyes]

These little apartments are so sad and pathetic. No wonder they're all depressed

Love summer fruits too and I loathe hot weather also.

Question: do apricots have any real flavor? Every time I buy them here they taste like mushy cotton with a vague fruit flavor.

 I know this sounds weird but I have a soup recipe that includes apricots and it is fantastic.

[Ivylady]

Hi, everyone! I missed the first 25 minutes. Anything good? My eating habit is leftover bbq pork loin and roasted Brussels sprouts with birthday cake for dessert.

Uh, I thought pants were optional.

I distinctly heard that pants were not required. And also that there would be no math.

Nah. But thanks for asking!

That's what you can afford when you don't have a job.

My cat likes to open the curtains in the living room randomly. Usually on the mornings when I don't wear pants. And I live facing a busy street. Thanks, Duke. Thanks a lot.

Personally I think I'd get a lot more out of seeing Dr Paradise vs therapist Lola.

Personally, I get tired of saying, "Man, I hurt today!"

I sound like a broken record since I hurt EVERY day, just to varying degrees. (Psoriatic arthritis.)

I am with you on that. I don't know what's worse the discomfort or the lack of energy.

They could put up a couple of posters. Maybe buy some flowers. The apartments don't have to be so tomb-like.

[DC Gal in VA]

I really, really, really hate it when people squeeze their eyes tight, gasp, look so sad, etc. and not shed one damn tear! Please quit the fake ass crying; you can't fool Dr. Paradise!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Our winners tonight are @Pepper Mostly and @WhitneyWhit with guesses of 575 lbs.  They each win:

• A case of hair dye in colors not found in nature
• A scooter bag for when they get their very own scooters
• Ear plugs in case they ever meet Janine in person to allow them to block the sound of her whining
• Enormous containers of limp salad to eat when being observed
• And, as always, the respect of your fellow Pounders!

What did Janine do before she became a stay at home huge person?

I think she was a plus size model.  Probably on a sleazy website.

Lola has better wigs, though.

'K, I have mint chocolate chip ice cream with a drizzle of maraschino syrup.

Nonsense. How's Janine going to recover if she doesn't write a letter?

[Twopper]

So we are 30 minutes in, but I am confused as to whether we are still re-hashing her first episode or is this new stuff yet?    I am recording it, but I had the tv turned to the LOGO channel so it took me a few minutes to get back to TLC.

Amen to that I'm in Tennessee. It has been hot!

TN too!  We’ve had 95+ for a week.  

We have another one who knows more than Dr. Now and can do it her way.  Like being able to walk 2 steps.

That’s why she gets a gold star!

Are you sure that thing was a leg?

Maybe a previous balloon took a wrong turn and got stuck in there.

I am honored. If I had known this kind of recognition was coming, I would have worn my best sheet.

Evening Pounders! My eating habit tonight is an egg burrito and a coconut Built Bar. Show-wise, I’m torn between wanting a train wreck and needing something to work out for Janine so she’ll quit sniveling. 

Sniveling is an underutilized word in this forum.

Right. The apartments make them look fat!

It's new stuff. It only seems like it's the old stuff because it's virtually the same as the original episode: she's not losing any weight, she's still whining, and she's still rolling in the scooter.

Stay safe. Don't think because it didn't happen before that it can't happen now. Inconvenienced is  better than dead, or badly injured. Just sayin'...

I usually don't go in the basement (I hope I don't wind up like the old guy who stayed on Mt St Helens until it was too late to leave), but when the weatherman said "Take shelter now and get some protection for your head," well, you don't have to tell me twice. I need my head for work and stuff.

I hate when the shrink gives them an excuse for their issues. “Oh you were adopted. Lots of times people who were adopted feel like they don’t fit In with the family”   

“Oh yes that could be... maybe”

As well as the mattresses.

I love my mother but damn. I wouldn't use anyone's leftover human soup bath water. That's gross.

I think everyone else should get an aerosol can of whipped cream just for participating. Squirt directly into mouth. 

[Guest]

Oh, only a year later do you NOW "think about" taking more ownership of your "progress."

That looks pretty nifty. I just found out someone has made a crisping air fryer lid for the instant pot. Available June 24. Must.get.ASAP.

[sainte-chapelle]

"I can tell my lost weight by my arm wings"...loses 7lbs....whoops

[String Theory]

"taking ownership of my food choices".....................major eye roll.

Yes, you've been eating healthy alright.....beginning with the 20 piece nuggets....

Is she riding the scooter thru the drive thru? Omg lol

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Memories!  Scooter at the drive through for large fries, 20 piece nuggets and a large Dr. Pepper!

Wow! Thank you, thank you! Hilariously, I always say that when I retire I will dye my hair a color not found in nature, sit on my porch and smoke cigarettes and horrify people. Now I'm halfway there!

Between the sniveling and the caterwauling and the crocodile tears we barely have time to worry about the Cravings.

[cmpbl]

I say she lost 10 pounds this time.

That's a flashback, but yeah.

[Guest]

Janine, trying to escape the Arby's parking lot:

[mmecorday]

She can really handle that scooter well. Did she got to a trade school to learn how?

[Miss Chevious]

Bet she hasn’t lost much.

[Callaphera]

I come from the land of Riding your Zamboni through the Drive-Thru for a double double and a maple dip. 

[7EasyPayments]

"Ownership in my choices."

20 piece McNuggets🤮, 2 french fries and a LARGE Dr. No...... er PEPPER !!! 

[mmecorday]

In that getup, she looks like a big head of lettuce.
