So, who watches this show. Last night was the final episode but they are signed up for another season.

To me, it looks staged. Her mother is too "perfect". She's really funny with a straight face and I love the dad.

Anyway, last night, Whitney and her friend Buddy were looking to move in together (a good move for both of them) and then her blood work comes back as "pre-diabetic".... Is that a reason for a 30 year old to stay home with mom and dad? I mean, she's not moving out of town or anything.

Something wrong with this picture. Nobody who weighs 380 lbs. can say they "love" their body. She is too hyper..... JMO of course...... I am addicted to this show because I find it very entertaining. I also love The Little Couple.......

I've only watched part of one show, but it seems she needs to get some serious medical attention. She isn't going to lose hundreds of pound dancing. I know she didn't gain all of her weight from the disorder she has no matter what she claims. Does anyone know if she's sought out some serious medical help?

She seems like a sweet pretty girl and her family is funny. They appear to be good people. I just don't understand her health situation.

I watch but fell asleep last night. So that is the news she got? Pre-diabetic? From the previews they showed, I thought she was diagnosed with some horrible illness.

Is she really surprised that at her weight she received this diagnosis?

Besides teaching dance, does she work to earn money to afford moving out?

I think her only job is dance instructor....I really like her personality, I think she is likeable, but a bit loud for my taste. I wish she would work on losing weight, just dancing is not going to do it. I think the story needs to concentrate on here health a bit more next year so we can see what she is doing to lose the weight and get healthier.

I thought about those things too. All she has to do is start eating properly, follow her doctor's instructions and it doesn't matter where she lives. There's something missing in this part of the story. She never talks about taking medication, etc.

Also, I don't think she has a job, except for the dancing and I don't know how much that brings in. I also don't know what Buddy does. Maybe they're two rich kids living with their parents? Who knows? It looks as though her parents are well off. I really like them. She also has a brother who doesn't live with them. They are very close.

So much is not told. Surely, she didn't gain over 250 lbs. from the PCOS alone. No way. Especially when we see her make a mayo and banana sandwich. LOL

This young lady was on the View yesterday. She said she needed to lose 100 pounds. She also said she lost that amount of weight before, but gained it back.

As for how she makes money, I've read a lot of these Youtubers make a lot of money by posting videos. They make money every time someone views the video.

Last time I was watching the show she was on a scale and weighed close to 400 pounds so don't you think she needs to lose more than 100 pounds? Maybe 200 or more?

I agree, colliemom, and I don't believe her when she says she loves her body. When I heard her say that, I thought that she needs therapy of some sort. She had to know that eventually her health would suffer due to her weight, so what was she waiting for to begin doing something about it, and it remains to be seen if she will.

That is what the letter apparently said, 200 pounds.

Totally agree with both of you.
