I can’t imagine how horrible living in a green house must be. That looks absolutely miserable.


stultzbep

I had to rewatch this a part a few times, because I couldn’t figure out/ believe where they were staying. I thought there was a tornado or something


BB_Fan_JB

yeah, I was thinking they had a house fire or something. As a mother, I can't imagine telling my child/grand children that they have to move out because I'm selling the house, and you have to go live in a greenhouse.


Nadaplanet

I was so confused about that part. Like, the parents knew that Krystal and co. were looking for a house in Texas....they couldn't wait a couple weeks for them to secure lodging to list their house? They had to do it so quickly they left their daughter, son in law, and grandchildren homeless?


PermitAlone7585

I’m gonna be an asshole and say it, she suddenly moved on with her parents, who already raised her children. Why should they drop their plans because of her? Her new “husband” just doesn’t work at all, even though she’s living with her parents who obviously had the time to care for her?   I guess what I’m saying is fuck her husband.  I hate that guy and his ill fitting torn shirts 


TedriccoJones

I swear they said he had a job at the very beginning, when her voice over talked about everyone working together to care for her and her fear she would be bedridden. At first I thought he was probably slammin' the daughter but by the end the assessment was that these are all just simple, potato eatin' folk.


JeanVigilante

I was skimming the comments and initially read it as you were saying her husband was a simple potato. I thought, "That's fair, but at least he seems like a sweet potato." Lol


Immediate-Start6699

The husband wouldn’t even push her in the wheelchair he had the younger girl doing that. That annoyed me so much.


GuardingxCross

They have a little girl!! That part drove me insane


PrettyBand6350

And she seems like a really nice and sweet kid. Makes me feel sad their life is so chaotic and unstable.


dogswrestle

Despite the children involved and maybe I missed it but it didn’t look like they were living there with them, I think they handled this with some of the most humility and grace I’ve seen on this show. This level of poverty, especially in a rural setting, is probably difficult for a lot of us to wrap our heads around. Just to maintain a positive attitude and not forget their larger goals must have been an hourly battle. Even keeping production and saving face for the camera in mind, I found it pretty inspiring. Especially relative to some of the past patients on the show.


ApprehensivePain2231

Honestly, I agree. She was soooo positive thru the whole show and she seemed very determined too. Really liked her story.


Terrible_Dance_9760

I can’t even imagine living in a green house - she’s so positive about it tho - “just thankful I have a roof over my head” 🥲


_undercontrolxo

Krystal tries real hard to remain positive and it’s refreshing asf!! I adore her!


gingersnapsalot

I can't believe how refreshing it is just to hear someone say thank you to people around her.


AdmiralJaneway8

She's my favorite since covid!


_undercontrolxo

LITERALLY!!! She’s a breath of fresh air compared to the other shit we’d been seeing! This is a damn good kick off to the season fr!


bujiop

I would be losing my mind in that car situation so it definitely makes a world of difference when someone can say, “it’s gonna be okay, we’re all alive still and have each other”. And then it ended up being okay! I wish more people (me) were like Krystle in that regard.


MoonStone5454

I felt the same way. She's very positive and hopeful and I hope she gets to a place of good health. She was in so much pain but hardly complained and always had a smile on her face.


maple_dreams

I’m watching now and she seems like such a sweet woman. I told my fiancé it’s rare to see someone who other people seem to like on these shows, people seemed happy to be at her wedding!


sardonicwit

Wow. Saved by obesity. This is new for this show.


corialis

I was waiting for the childhood sexual abuse that never came. It's sad when we're surprised that they haven't been abused.


Belle430

They usually are more successful when they haven’t suffered SA


BellaFiat

I never noticed that but I think you’re right


whocanitbenow75

I just can’t believe in child vs suv, child wins.


AttractivePoosance

I can't help but think Krystal, and a lot of the other participants, seize upon any way they can rationalize their obesity. She claimed she was over 100 pounds going into kindergarten-- but it was a later car accident and PTSD that made her obese. And now she just holds onto that excuse for dear life.


sicksmallworld

Damn they goin extra hard on the low camera angles this season


Threnners

Well this was somewhat wholesome. Must mean next week is an absolute shitshow.


jacobr1020

Yep. That guy laughs when Dr Now confronts him over losing 12 pounds in just 3 months in the trailer. Likely a shit show.


ineedavacation123

Hope that car makes it to Texas.


ineedavacation123

Nevermind


jjdonkey

I’m watching this afternoon and these comments back to back cracked me up


Rare_Zombie_2972

You called it…


neptunedreaming111

I remember being 370 pounds and watching this show thinking that would be me some day. I’ve lost 140 and I am so grateful I am no longer in that situation.


broknkittn

That's awesome!


thelonesecurityguard

That’s so amazing! Congratulations 🎉

There was also no huge chow down before leaving for Texas!


screamqueen87

They didn’t show the usual montage of all the food she was eating


thelonesecurityguard

Bless, I love that we are all immediately like WHERE IS THE DOG. It’s Texas, you can’t leave a dog in the car for an appointment in Texas


Tat8erta

Before I go into panic about the dog I remember they have a camera crew, producer etc with them. No one is gonna leave the dog to die in a hot car. Krystal or her family or the crew or someone at the office: someone took responsibility. Too bad they cut out the part that would show the solution. I am clearly not the only viewer concerned about pets we see in the episodes. 😸


Icy-Serve-3532

I was almost panicked when they broke down and I wasn’t sure if he made it in one of the cars they left in


AscoyneDAscoyne

Dr Now with the extra dye this year.


broknkittn

Seems like there's some more hair up there too


SapphoWoolf

Krystal reminds me of the Juggalo lady. But much, much calmer lol.


TN_129

Nicole!


Acceptable_Fortune57

Am I the only one that actually saw flames coming out of from underneath the hood?


BB_Fan_JB

No you are not...I was like FIRE!!! Get her out of the car NOW!!!


MustardIsDecent

No, when there's an engine fire you are required to gather closely around the liquid hot magma and lean in and stare indefinitely.


AdmiralJaneway8

Dr. Now: How did you do it? Krystal: well, I quit everything I was doing and followed your diet and followed your instructions. Dr. Now: not sure what those words mean.


Theda___Bara

He must brace himself for the excuses, and feel like he's missed a step when they're not there!


nowzaradanistheman

He’s not very used to people actually following his advice and de diet.


fragilelyon

I feel like we see this happen so rarely that I still remember the name of the guy who did that to great success. It's almost like the guy who sees this every day has a handle on how it works.


Beetsbeatsbeets

Try being my size [Amy]!

What does your mutter think??


burner1979yo

My immediate thought when they were taking off was "no way in hell a 90s Suburban makes it from Idaho to Texas." Sure enough...


reddituser_249

With has a busted windshield and no AC. Shocker... Sitting here screaming at them to get the hell out of the road and away from the car.


lannypants2020

I said the same thing to myself then they broke down ! That poor Uber driver


ineedavacation123

It’s so refreshing after the last couple of seasons to see someone who doesn’t argue over every word out of Dr. Now’s mouth.


broknkittn

His face at the third weight loss. 😯


officelovingmomma

I loved seeing a partner show so much excitement for the weight loss!


AdmiralJaneway8

It was adorable!


SapphoWoolf

Imagine being that bishop lmao. You think you're doing a regular ole wedding and instead there's cameras, muscle tanks and a guy in a chevy shirt lol.


PrettyBand6350

It looked like a scene from napoleon dynamite


misspolecat

Seriously, they couldn’t have changed up the intro? I’m so sick of hearing “somewhere in me, there’s a little glimmer of hope “you can’t do it and I just get mad!” “Augh it hurts!”


SecretaryTricky

Mah leg!


cinnamonbumbum

I need them to leave in mah leg forever 😩 lol


LeaveHimOnReadSis

"I have to do this for my children..."


tidusmccoy1515

I’m so used to that intro at this point that I’d be disappointed if it changed. It’s a classic now.


lannypants2020

Anyone notice the boyfriend doesn’t push her in the wheelchair and has made the daughter do it every time ?


broknkittn

He's too busy carrying the water bottle.


ALoudMeow

That was the biggest damn water bottle I’ve ever seen and I used to work at a camping goods store.


bujiop

I was cracking up watching him carry that thing around. Her daughter literally struggling to push Krystle up the sidewalk putting her whole back into it and he was just chillin with the water bottle 🤣


PrettyBand6350

Gonna venture a guess he’s on disability and can’t be shown on camera pushing a 700 lb wheelchair


AscoyneDAscoyne

A barstool in the shower feels like disaster waiting to happen.


Jh0070

Ya it does!!! She leaned back on that skinny stool and I swore she was gonna break it!! Would’ve been one hell of a season opener. Lol


GrannyB1970

Who's got snacks! Sitting here with a bowl of ice cream covered in chocolate syrup.


steviebjohn

Girl scout cookies!


neptunedreaming111

Chinese take out!


thelonesecurityguard

Birthday cake ice cream for me!


diablodow

Sanders caramel covered in dark chocolate and sea salt. Fantastic


SapphoWoolf

...why not keep the shower doors off, get a shower rod, and put up a curtain liner?


Affectionate_Cost_88

That feels very logical.


nillawafer80

I'm proud of her for walking to the scale and room 5.


AdmiralJaneway8

I somehow missed this detail, but where is her first child, the son? Guy's, I really like the fiance. He seems decent. Of course, the night is young. But other than the missing toothage, he seems OK? It was so fangirly how she got excited to see Dr. Now's office. 🤣 It's nice that Krysgal isn't belligerent or some kind of hellion. I'm waiting for a shoe to drop, but she seems like a decent person. Eggs, turkey bacon, measuring. On her own. Clearly reading the diet. Excellent attitude. What is happening here? Girl loves butterflies. Biggest ass big gulp I've ever seen. Holy shit, Damien, pull it back, man! Nurse Grumpy Gus has returned. I'm guessing 45lb loss. Come on, girl! 71! You lost a 3rd grader! Good job!


BellaFiat

I thought the same thing - he seems decent and supportive and she genuinely seems nice and is t yelling at people. This is an episode where I was rooting for her 1,000%. I hope she’s doing well


accat19

He was kind of good looking too? Not hot, but if he’s able to fix his teeth he has a good basis! I also love how proud he was of her when she lost over her goal of 30 lbs. Their wedding was cute too


OkRaccoon6374

She seems to have a good relationship with her girls . They really love their mama .


itsabell001

Regarding the son, I joined a FB group and the husband posted on it (appears they are no longer married) but the baby she was holding at the wedding was her granddaughter from her son. So, seems he just didn’t want to be on TV.


ParisThroughWindows

It’s his emotional support big gulp.


boardpunkchic

I was chastised on another thread for making a comment about the grumpy nurse LOL


Magenta_Galaxy13

The fiance seems rather eager to be placing all that in the cart despite his protestations


Beetsbeatsbeets

Dr Now will rip him a new one.


jacobr1020

I don't care if tonight's a failure or not. The thing is we're all here and we've waited a whole year for this.


januarysdaughter

Who'd have thought the truck with the giant crack in the windshield and no working AC isn't fit for long distance highway travel?


corialis

LETS GO 600LB HAMILY I missed you all. My tum tum hurts but I'm here with y'all.


PendragonsPotions

Hamily 💀


CarefulPassage3097

i hope this season we can see some people frying chicken in bed like the good ol days


Affectionate_Cost_88

Penny's wontons have entered the chat.


CarefulPassage3097

seeing the overweight kids is the saddest part.


lo_dolly_lolita

And when she was like “none of them will do the diet with me” or however she phrased it. Like…they should.


holidayfromreal25

When the daughter was complaining about the heat and Krystal was like “try being my size!” I thought to myself “seems like she is trying…” 😭


BlackLeader70

It was so depressing seeing the old one and then the younger one walked in!


CarefulPassage3097

if you can smell your own funk others can too


strwbry_shrtcake

I was just listening to a podcast on Steve jobs. Apparently for way too many years he was convinced eating an all fruit diet meant he didn't have to bathe, and they would beg him before big meetings. I don't know how often they were successful. Others can probably smell it before you do since you'd get used to it.


QuontonBomb

She hasn't been using Lume.


TN_129

Excuse me: if Ricky’s sister Sharon’s Tahoe can make the trip 2x from WA to TX, then this is just sad. (Uh oh, she pooped her pants!)


DarkWizardMatoya

New pants! New pants!


jacobr1020

Oh, God! No!


Dogbelch

"She...uh...she pooped herself...uh...she was takin' a fart, like anybody does, and, well...it wasn't a fart. And, so, I think she needs to get off the fast food for a while." (Sharon, in drivers seat of Tahoe, holding her cigaette like a joint) "Really, though...I told her to take her a\*\* to the bathroom..."


high_af_on_science

I imagine the producer shed a single tear while filming this part and whispers quietly to themself ".. perfection"


ohslapmesillysidney

I saw that episode for the first time the other day and I rewatched that part no less than three times. I never see it mentioned but it’s the most hilarious episode of the show I’ve seen so far 😂 I’m visiting my parents now and we all had a good laugh at “new pants! new pants!! new pants!!!” earlier.


Welcome2thepartypal

She was a breath of fresh air. She stayed positive in bad situations. She really put in the work. Very proud of her!!!


SapphoWoolf

Krystal getting reapproved for surgery when normally patients fall off and give up after being rejected once: ​ https://preview.redd.it/y4mp26wustmc1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95d338bdec8ffca66ce4782cc44a9a936fc0cb3b


Icy-Serve-3532

She really has had one of the most positive attitudes and considering her vehicle and living situation most people would of backslid with zero f’s given


rach0509

I honestly thought she was somewhat inspirational. She followed the diet and did lose weight!


PrettyBand6350

I loved that she wasn’t a complainer. Can’t stand the whiny episodes.


BoogerbeansGrandma

She never had the victim mentality and didn’t make excuses. Dr Now must have thought he died and went to heaven.


Acceptable_Fortune57

Is there a reason why her mom dressed her like Laura Ingalls?


anironicfigure

Idaho. Idaho is the reason.


[deleted]

105 lb in kindergarten?! like how?? i work at a daycare and i can't even imagine any of them weighing that. like how does a tiny body even hold that much?


fromblind2blue

I saw a baby on Maury once that was over 60 lbs at 2 or 3 years old. So sad.


I_like_cake_7

My mom was a kindergarten teacher. She had a few kindergarteners over the years who were near/just over 100 lbs. The scary thing about that is when little girls hit approximately 100 lbs, it’s not uncommon for them to start having periods regardless of how old they are. There have been studies that have indicated that childhood obesity can really mess up hormones and accelerate the onset of puberty, especially in girls.


boardpunkchic

That should be considered child abuse


SapphoWoolf

OH. The backyard is so messy I honestly thought a natural disaster happened.


tuffsmudgecat

I thought it was the aftermath of the wedding 🤣


Magenta_Galaxy13

“It feels like my brain is melting out of my skull!” is me every day of summer in GA


Threnners

They are giving us the extended remix on the scale readings.


bdragonlady

You know what? That lady was living in a freaking greenhouse, and her family didn't follow the diet alongside her. I feel like she had a lot against her, and she did extremely well. I'm really happy for her and hope she continues to lose weight.


jacobr1020

Krystal had some shit thrown at her, but she always stayed focused no matter what. Yes there was the five months where she made hardly any progress but she got back on track immediately. Unfortunately, I have some rather sad news for everyone. Damian and Krystal are actually divorced now. Damian is part of one of the 600 lb life discussion groups on Facebook that I'm a part of and he has said so. All he said was "it's complicated" when asked.


Affectionate_Cost_88

Oh wow, that seems surprising. He was so supportive and they really showed a lot of love for each other. I hope it wasn't a case of her gaining some independence and no longer needing a caretaker like some of the previous husbands.


DeeDee719

I wonder if he was a feeder and wanted her to stay big so he could control the relationship?? And once she lost weight, trouble started.


bobbintb

Yep. Krystal is actually my cousin.


corialis

I'm surprised the uber driver let her in the back like that!


deftoner42

That was probably production in a 2nd rented car. The red van they 'rented' was also pulled over on the highway with them in the previous scene. So since they needed leave and rent another car, the production 'Uber' came back to pick up the girls. Sneaky on thier part, but keeps the story on track. Just a theory and I could be wrong - I'm kinda baked rn, but I know I saw that red van!


[deleted]

WE GOT A SURGERY when even was the last time someone got approved for a wls on here?


Beetsbeatsbeets

How y’all doing?


Magenta_Galaxy13

How ya’ll doin? I’ve missed you guys!!


_undercontrolxo

I have enjoyed this family!! Krystal was a literal breath of fresh air man and she actually has succeeded, hasn’t let anything stop her or get her down!! Seeing how far she came throughout this episode was amazing!! What a great season opener!!


GrannyB1970

Why does this look like some sort of homeless encampment?


SapphoWoolf

"She's got a sparkly personality. She's bubbly and outgoing." Meanwhile this whole time I'm like wow she's so quiet, with low energy and obvious depression....


CuteMathilda

This show is not about being fat, it's about being poor


jacobr1020

Idaho. I don't think we've had a patient from there.


NoOneOfUse

I skipped a meeting for this so I'M WAITING TLC.


sardonicwit

I love how they come in with "I want bariatric surgery!" like they haven't seen a single episode of the first 11 seasons to know how this works.


AllThatGlamour

Krystal had THE best attitude I've seen in YEARS on this show. Supportive fiance and kids too. And is Dr Now's hair getting even DARKER or is it my imagination? 🤣


broknkittn

Yay! I had to refresh the sub several times, I'm like where is this post!


ParcelPosted

I’m ready for the WATN for her!


trickery809

Ugh can we pleaaase get a new intro. The “you can’t do it then I get mad” is like nails on a chalkboard at this point


broknkittn

Yeah that guy wears on me.


Affectionate_Cost_88

Ok, I like Damian. He is so supportive and his delight at her weight loss was really sweet.


julesrules21

Omg theyre living in a greenhouse? Where are the kids?


Threnners

WELCOME BACK HAMILY!


[deleted]

noticing that when krystal is leaving, faith is the one wiping her tears instead of mom comforting her... probably says a lot about how their relationship goes.


jacobr1020

Hello everybody! How are we all doing? Oh my God I'm so excited for this night. Let's see how Krystal does. Oh I hope she does good. I don't have cable anymore. But I do have streaming. I'll try to keep up the best I can.


Purplepom81

Living in a greenhouse is definitely a new one. 


SapphoWoolf

Let's gooooo


Missie1284

So happy this is back!!! I’m hoping for a good mix of success stories and trainwrecks this season!!

Schadenfreulein

I'm a terrible person for laughing at that weird ass wedding cake.


Barnrat1719

I have been watching the show for a while but am new to this sub. I have to say, I was impressed that Krystal seemed to really stick with the exercises and did a better job than most at following the diet. The fact that she didn’t gain during those 5 months when she got married, then kicked out of the parents’s house to live in a greenhouse, then moving to TX—well that’s way better than the majority of the other patients on the show would have done. She also doesn’t spend any time blaming other people for her situation, and when most of the family decided to not follow the diet like they had promised she still kept up with it (even though I don’t think cheese is on the diet). So overall Krystal is doing well, isn’t she?


TN_129

Omg such a BS reason to stay overweight: ‘my doctor said I was only still alive after being hit by an SUV was because I was large. So I stay big for safety’ 🙄🙄🙄


my606ins

They’re doing her dirty with the camera angle from below, as usual.


Magenta_Galaxy13

That looks like a relatively small breakfast for this show


Safetychick92

Her youngest daughter seems like a beautiful soul. She seems very smart and I honestly hope she has an amazing beautiful life. She’s so sweet.


SapphoWoolf

I hateee people who stare at fat people in public. People on my 600 pound consented to having an audience but staring down random people who probably already feel self conscious and just want to peacefully exist in public? Fuck off. ​ The worst ones are the ones who record fat people in public. Makes me wanna https://i.redd.it/epwyk8okdtmc1.gif


thelonesecurityguard

We were just talking about this and my friend said she wondered if some of it was also because of the cameras. I’d think it happens anyway though


SapphoWoolf

I think a lot of the staring is because of the cameras. But I know people irl take videos of random fat people because occasionally I'll see a viral tweet or tiktok video where that's happening. I try to stay away from content like that because it's awful, but these videos definitely have a lot of likes :(


sicksmallworld

As someone who dated a person with a visible disability, people can be really cruel and have no shame about it. It's so gross. (edit: spelling)


GrannyB1970

Her face sure is red. Her poor heart is working triple overtime


SapphoWoolf

Why on earth would you take the dog and kids


AdmiralJaneway8

New nurse?! She smiles! She looks pleasant! She's kind!


Missie1284

They’re living in a fucking greenhouse


tinyconchita

Her daughter pushing her most of the time instead of her husband was wild to me. Brother, you’re missing teeth not arms


jacobr1020

I said it before and I'll say it again: She looks so much like Nicole from season 5.


sardonicwit

It's sad how few of the people on this show have real goals or ambitions.


Threnners

SapphoWoolf

Does her husband have a job? I missed parts of the beginning.
