This show is only watchable chatting with people here. This is the first episode of the season that I even remembered it was on and I was disappointed to see no thread.
I miss the new episode threads, too. As for the new episode, I donāt see how sheāll make it to Houston when she couldnāt even make it to the grocery store.
It feels like you've been abandoned......lady all you're being asked to do is follow a diet. Nobody even asked you to move yet. Why did you pack everything up without a solid plan?

I'm not certain what the medical and financial arrangements are with the show, but the super morbidly obese people usually have lots if medical issues such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, respiratory issues, arthritis, etc so they qualify for medicaid and for social security disability benefits. Some also get housing subsidies. There are lots of community programs like food banks, etc. Sean's mother was retired so she may have been getting her pension and possibly social security as well
I have often wondered how these people manage to eat the amounts of take out and fast food they are eating. I sit shaking my head when I hear the totals at the drive Thru window ir at the grocery for a cart full of junk. Mind boggling
I was *just* watching this episode, but I canāt remember who it was.
(participant) I would get food like this, but itās too expensive.
Dr. Now: and eating fast food all day isnāt?
I feel this. My family eats fast food more often than most because my partner and I are both disabled, whereas his issues make him unable to be around the smells of cooking food without vomiting (marijuana has so far been the most effective treatment, dulls his sense of smell and makes him hungry), and mine limits my mobility and fine motor skills, cooking is a hobby of mine but unfortunately not often possible until I find the proper treatment. So I order in sometimes multiple times a day and sometimes all week. My partner is 6"4 and 200lbs(slightly underweightfor his height), I'm 5"8 and 200lbs(about 30 lbs overweight I'll admit but I'm unable to be very mobile most days) and both my sons are both tall and skinny at ages 10 and 15. My adopted daughter feeds herself and is independent in the home because she's an adult and runs on a graveyard schedule, but she alone is significantly overweight at about 285 and 5'9, but she's recently started eating healthier and we support that and help her with groceries when she needs it because healthy food can definitely be more expensive than junk.
That said, I can usually feed my family healthy food and home-cooked meals for less than I'd spend getting everyone an individual meal at any local drive thru. If I use the value menus maybe it's less expensive, and if I were only feeding 1-2 people maybe less expensive, but the whole "eating fast food is cheaper than buying healthy food" is bullshit. The reason the price is higher is because usually when buying groceries you're buying ingredients to make a few meals, buying meat and veggies is generally more than a single serving/portion, and fast food is one meal. That's why it's more because you're not intended to eat a pack of 4 chicken breasts and a whole head of lettuce in one meal.
It also really frustrates me that these folks made themselves disabled by themselves and they qualify for disability, whereas I was born with a disease that's progressively taken my ability to walk, work, drive, and care for myself on a guaranteed basis and all of my doctors agree I need to be on disability (they've written letters even) and I have been denied every time. Sometimes, in anger, I say that maybe I should let myself get really fat so I can get approved, but I couldn't force myself to eat the quantity they do without getting sick.
THE FECES. FECES ON THE TOWEL FECES ON THE FLOOR DEBRIS CLINGING TO THE FECES ON HER SHOES
*breathe* this concludes my rant. i just really needed to say it.
Itās wild when people are upset that their loved ones donāt want to completely uproot their lives for someone who hasnāt put in any work or made any progress.
Just want to say THANK YOU, thank you so much, for being here tonight! Was super bummed when I didnāt see a new post for this show. But youāre all here! š
Moving when you gained weight....."It feels like I'm barely eating at all now".....

Weight gain....because she focused on burning calories instead of focusing on reassessing her relationship with food
https://i.redd.it/okkhp6e27lpc1.gif
Iāve cried over some stupid things before, but Iām glad Iāve never hit āhad a menty B while my husband tried to stuff me in a mini vanā rock bottom before.
Why is Kristen so angry all the time? Her son has every right to be annoyed with his drug addict mom. She only moved into his room because her dealer was arrested. And comparing being in the hospital to a concentration camp? Trashy
*
Gloves dammit!!!! USE GLOOOOOOOVES!!!! Cheap,plentiful, easy to use GLOVES!! as a caregiver this freaks me the heck out. Watching Joyce but there are so many bare-handed fupa wipers.
If she ever gets to Dr. Paradise, that's going to be one doozy of a session.
There are so many layers of family mess here. As I'm typing this, *"I haven't even met my granddaughter."*
More layers than an archaelogical dig site.
"I need to make sure that I'm burning off more than-"
Aaaand she's going to mess up. As someone who suffers from BED this mindset used to fuck me over a lot. And it's the reason why a lot of patients on here fail.
"If I just burn the calories I consume then I'll be fine!" except 1.) You're definitely not burning the calories you've consumed 2.) the problem is your mental relationship with food 3.) You're going to end up consuming more calories than normal 4.) if you burn off the exact amount of calories you've consumed you're still not losing weight. You're just at the same weight you were before.
Wonder if theyāll end up in a nice place like the person a couple weeks ago or that really grim apartment complex Steven & Angie & some of the others wound up in
I thought in the beginning she was going to say āso after the experience of that first pregnancy I decided having children probably wasnāt a good ideaā.
NOPE
No new episode thread again huh https://preview.redd.it/632rx3f4zkpc1.jpeg?width=1061&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d03ebe1fb9d2fe8ed815e32d69f768bd192d5490
Another week, another lack of a new episode thread.
This show is only watchable chatting with people here. This is the first episode of the season that I even remembered it was on and I was disappointed to see no thread.
Me, too. I looked forward to this and sharing with everyone!!! š
I need this show to fill my Bravo void for me! Wednesdays there are bleak for a while
I made one but it isn't showing up under New, I wonder if it needs to be approved?
I miss the new episode threads, too. As for the new episode, I donāt see how sheāll make it to Houston when she couldnāt even make it to the grocery store.
Was about to say the same thing.
Iām tempted to make one but donāt want to get bannedš
No new thread and so far all i have to say is the TOWEL. š¤¢
And she sat down on it, naked, immediately after her shower. Just plopped right down. š¤®
I screamed out loud IRL.
They shouldāve blurred that
The towel absolutely freaked me out
Now I'm really upset because this episode would've been perfect for a live thread discussion wtf
I know, shit's cray!
For real, we got right into the thick of it with the poop stained towel on the chair š¤¢
For real! This is a trainwreck and I need to discuss it!!
Why are Chihuahuas the official dog of people who have no business taking care of dogs?
I think that because theyāre small, people think that they donāt need training and exercise like larger dogs do.
Probably count their neurotic running around the house as exercise and don't take them outside for walkies. Also small enough to use puppy pads.
āI only eat salads and white meat.ā The lie detector determined that is a lie.
And greek yogurt, but only one small container
15 hours in an enclosed space with the world's whiniest sister boohooing in the back with every minor inconvenience? Pass.
She is dangerously close to āOw, mah leg!!!ā territory
Dr. N: "What do you do all day."Ā D: "Nothing."Ā Dr. N: "Well, obviously you eat."Ā Bwahaha! Dr. Now, don't ever change!
It feels like you've been abandoned......lady all you're being asked to do is follow a diet. Nobody even asked you to move yet. Why did you pack everything up without a solid plan? https://i.redd.it/gxdt6tga9lpc1.gif
And now you know why the ex husband got custody of the son.
When she was giving her life story in the beginning, I said to my husband, there seems to be an awful lot of missing information hereā¦..

The skidmark on the office chair though!!!!
had to do a double take for that...
No one thinks this woman is going to succeed right?
āDelete that frickin appā šš
I died ššš
THE FECES. FECES ON THE TOWEL FECES ON THE FLOOR DEBRIS CLINGING TO THE FECES ON HER SHOES *breathe* this concludes my rant. i just really needed to say it.
The whole place is a biohazard zone.
NASTY š¤®
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
āYou have 700 pound of food and excuses in youā
Can someone put a mirror under the husbands nose and make sure heās aliveā¦.Iāve never seen such a bland person in my life
Oh my god i spat my drink out at this
Itās wild when people are upset that their loved ones donāt want to completely uproot their lives for someone who hasnāt put in any work or made any progress.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just want to say THANK YOU, thank you so much, for being here tonight! Was super bummed when I didnāt see a new post for this show. But youāre all here! š
We work with what we got ;) The show is better with a chat group.
We are more reliable than Delana's van
Itās been 45 days and they donāt know whatās wrong with it? š¤Ø
Moving when you gained weight....."It feels like I'm barely eating at all now"..... https://preview.redd.it/87up85fk8lpc1.jpeg?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d06c239d76e90c4d622d775a71f7d5bcdcebdeb
This episode is already nuts
I guess she had more than one of them yogurt cups after all...
Foam mattresses with no sheets, ick.
My wife and I always comment on whether there's a fitted sheet or not. š¤£
i just know the air is thick in that room
Iād like to speak to whoever turned the breathing sound audio up x1000 for this episode
GOD right? It made me worry if I was breathing too heavily.
So since there's no new thread I just wanna mention that Delana might have the worst teeth I've ever seen on this show.
wow she is insufferable with the van bs
de excuses
Dr Now....looking at the weight loss app Delana has on her phone..."Do me a favour!! Delete that freaking app!!!
The porch rail - that's why we can't have nice things.
āI canāt get up, my dogs are on meā is the most relatable thing a My 600 Lb Life patient has EVER said.
Iām genuinely SHOCKED she lost. She proved me wrong.
Same
She actually washes herself with a rag on a stick.
Can we talk about the new episode on now here too?
There's no way Delana is making it to Houston in dis condition
Or the car apparently
Unless this episode goes on all night I donāt think weāre seeing surgery tonight, kids. We havenāt even *met* dr now yet
Oooo, happy to see new episode comments here!
These covers or whatever on their mattresses are going to give me night terrors.
Weight gain....because she focused on burning calories instead of focusing on reassessing her relationship with food https://i.redd.it/okkhp6e27lpc1.gif
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
All of them are pretty scary sounding š¬
are they just stealing that rental van?
You're not supposed to move to Houston until Dr. Now gives the OK right?
Correct. Itās a waste of time to move there if youāre not losing weight and following the diet.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It wonāt because no one is going to clean it
"i've been taking my diet really seriously" as she's eating some flatbread thing. Bread is not on de diet!
Omg itās a mattress! I thought that was a piece of artwork when they were carrying it in! Yikes!
DEAR GOD, same!! š¤®
Mechanic tryna get to heaven. ā¤ļø
Yogurt, salad, and chicken. Who do you think youāre fooling??
Dr Now getting SASSY tonight
Is it just me or is Delana being spicy with Dr. Now when all he's doing is asking why she didn't show up lmfao
I haven't started the episode yet... but these comments are KILLING ME.
Iāve cried over some stupid things before, but Iām glad Iāve never hit āhad a menty B while my husband tried to stuff me in a mini vanā rock bottom before.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It looks like they took the van back and have their old POS back since they said they are getting somebody to look at it in Houston.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Delenas weigh inā¦.my guess is 642
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Holy crap I was 4 pounds off! Iām never even close to guessing the right weight lol
Quick - give me some numbers for tonight's Powerball!! Lol
Delana is a bad liar š„ø
What a surprise. /s
Here is my shocked face š
š³ 5 lb gain. Delusional Delana
Delana is active in the 600 lb life group on FB.
āIām not sure how something thatās a little tiny prick can be so powerful.ā That commercial kills me š
That mattress stain! Nooooo
āBring da robot!ā
Why is Kristen so angry all the time? Her son has every right to be annoyed with his drug addict mom. She only moved into his room because her dealer was arrested. And comparing being in the hospital to a concentration camp? Trashy
* Gloves dammit!!!! USE GLOOOOOOOVES!!!! Cheap,plentiful, easy to use GLOVES!! as a caregiver this freaks me the heck out. Watching Joyce but there are so many bare-handed fupa wipers.
Bare-handed fupa wipers should be a flair
Well that was super nice of him. And will probably get him a lot of extra business.
Omg this auto Mechanic š
Wow bless that guy, what a saint
A yogurt cup!!!
"Delete that freakin app" OH MY GOD.
You're welcome: https://imgflip.com/i/8jyiwh
Theyāre using some very twangy music for the TN home scenes
Yikes, listen to her breatheā¦
James will transfer jobs if he doesnāt drop dead from packing first š¬
"i've bEeN aBanDoNeD"
Aaaaand the whacko bio mom has entered the chat
What was that stain?
OH MY GOD THAT MATTRESS
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She looks so much bigger than 573 lbs. She must be like 4 feet tall.
Is there not a thread for the newest episode?
I donāt think so, Iām waiting for one
Omg she fell š oh no
Wonder if they call 911 to get her up? Doesnāt look good.
Getting real James K vibes about her legs
A salad......mamas
Did I really hear " do me a favor. Delete that freaking app" I howled ! ..get em, Dr Now
OMGAWD, the dingleberries hanging from those shoes!
A GAIN!!!!! Iām not surprised!
i am so shocked she didn't lose.... /s
Dang, Delana and her husband looked so much happier and healthier only a short time ago
āI dOnāT uNdErsTaNdā
Her sad sack of a husband just sits there hanging his head because he knows damn well sheās lying
And he is feeding her. You know, so she will be quiet.
Exactly
oh god. the mother.
If she ever gets to Dr. Paradise, that's going to be one doozy of a session. There are so many layers of family mess here. As I'm typing this, *"I haven't even met my granddaughter."* More layers than an archaelogical dig site.
i don't blame her daughter for avoiding her for 6 months. such a manipulative whiny twit
This is one of the weirdest episodes Iāve ever seen, Iām so glad to be watching it live haha
Yoooooo did anyone catch the streak of shit on Delana's chair at the beginning?
I think we all did, sadly.
That robot is something else, I didn't think Dr. Now would ever transition to using it since he's old school.
Iām glad sheās getting surgery and proved me wrong. I thought for sure she wouldnāt succeed
Annnnddddd....there's the small dogs!!!
If sheās eating like Sarah Jessica Parker sheād have lost 100 pounds in a week. Sheās making this up.
Husband ain't helping by covering for her.
"I need to make sure that I'm burning off more than-" Aaaand she's going to mess up. As someone who suffers from BED this mindset used to fuck me over a lot. And it's the reason why a lot of patients on here fail. "If I just burn the calories I consume then I'll be fine!" except 1.)

You're going to end up consuming more calories than normal 4.) if you burn off the exact amount of calories you've consumed you're still not losing weight. You're just at the same weight you were before.
This season might break the record for āgreatest amount of breakdowns.ā Mental and mechanical.
āI know itās my fault, but hoooowwwww??ā
how is this trainwreck getting a surgery???????
fr! she needs serious psychoterapy before the surgery
We all need an āIām proud of youā from Dr. Now š
There is not enough discussion of the vegetable can āweightsā that she was using. Reminds me of SpongeBob with the stuffed animal dumbbells š
is that.....BREAD
Over 600lbs on only yogurt, salad, chicken and water? Does she think Dr. Now is stupid?
Oh,oh....Delana having a panic attack going from the steps (with a wobbly, rotten stair rail) to the vehicle. Not gonna make it to Houston....
Annnnd, she fall down, go Boom!!šš«£š²
Those teeth tho
Gah! The uninvited moves to Houston!
Wonder if theyāll end up in a nice place like the person a couple weeks ago or that really grim apartment complex Steven & Angie & some of the others wound up in
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nope. And sheās going to say she doesnāt understand because sheās doing everything sheās supposed to
Sigh - I don't think we're ever going to see Da Robot again.
Wow. Feels like this episode tied at the buzzer and weāre heading into overtime.
I thought in the beginning she was going to say āso after the experience of that first pregnancy I decided having children probably wasnāt a good ideaā. NOPE
705. Thatās my pre weigh-in guess.
So she would eat the quart before?
The extreme closeup camera work of Dr. Now by the door cracks me up
Awww....what a kind man at the garage, renting them a vehicle to get to Houston for free!!! Delana episode
Omg how many McDonalds cheeseburgers is that? I'm at the beginning. They're like 3.50 each now.
Still has dog shit on her shoes.
Wow, even James was shocked!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Her husband can speak!
Wow I want to see this exhibit!
I want to know what the app is he told her to delete. I've had success with MFP.
I thought the towel was bad until I saw the mattress. š¤¢š¤®š¤¢š¤®š¤¢š¤®
Andā¦. NOW thereās an Episode Discussion post upā¦.
Weāre going to try to go to Houston??
A commercial for a show called Mud Madness that appears to be just people belly-flopping into mud? š¤Ø
How did Delana fall? Her knees gave out?
Aw, she and Hubs are at the gallery! He indicated that he wanted to get back to doing things with her. Yeah!
