My 600-lb. Life - Nicole's Story

WOW! I don't need a degree to know her problem was her dysfunctional family. I was talking to the TV you need to do it yourself, you need to get a place of your own. The screaming is doing to your kids what it did to you!

She was very lucky to have someone in her life that loves her and he has been there through the bad. My heart broke when they showed her showing on the back porch with a garden hose How low can you go....

Let's hope she is on her way to a better life with her own family!

I watched this last week -- and the spraying her down with the hose on the back porch was pretty terrible, no?

She was remarkably mobile for as big as she was -- a definite advantage of youth, I would assume. I felt sad for her, despite herself, because she was young and obviously emotionally damaged from her upbringing. Dr. Now was 100% correct in his assessments of her.

I didn't hold out much hope for her -- and didn't really care for her too much -- until the end, when I saw some possibility for hope for the future. I thought her fiancé/boyfriend (omg, was that ring bought at Claire's or something??) -- was a bit pathetic (ICP fan in mid-30's????) -- and I couldn't understand how any of these people supported themselves. Still, I did wonder exactly what he was getting out of his relationship with her -- so he either really loves her -- has a fetish, or is a complete sociopath.

I watched it last week as well. I really felt for her when her family was not supportive. I think overall, it was her father and not her mom. There was some drug abuse issues.

This show really gets me every time.

That episode was very sad to me to see the generations of dis function. I hope that her moving away from her parents did happen and she is able to turn her life around.

Mad a side note, anyone watch skin tight? They got a new surgeon this season who seemed to be much better then that man and woman team from last season.

Ugh, that should have read AS a side note, not mad. Don't know why my phone changed that and the site won't let me edit it.

I watched Skin Tight and was going to post about that too.... have not had time. Sometimes the skin can be as bad as the fat

I agree, I have lost a lot of weight and the skin now is terrible. I emailed the casting office for skin tight for the heck of it to try to get some help with it.

I was lucky I had surgery and lost weight back in the days when insurance would pay for it if you medical issues. Looking back for me personally the PS/skin removal was as important as losing the weight. It doesn't bother some but for me it's made a huge difference in my life! Keep us posted if you hear from them!

Dr Lomonaco used to be famous in these parts! I'd rather have him do my plastics than Dr Now. Lomonaco is an artist!

For me, this episode was the hardest to watch out of all of them. I had to watch in stages. I felt so deeply for her children. They looked traumatized and so quiet. The ending did show some hope, thank goodness.
