Sister Wives, anyone???

Wait...you mean people lie about their weight? Say it ain't so....

Well she couldn't lie about her weight, but I do think she lied about her pants size .

Personal trainers and VOSS water???? Guess the money crisis is over.

I guess at this point they have to hope TLC doesn't cancel them!

Why in the heck did the trainer include Robyn in the comment about working on losing 20 pounds-- she is pregnant! She shouldn't be trying to lose any weight. Heck, she will probably lose the 20 pounds when she delivers. That seemed stupid to me.

I wasn't surprised at Christine's weight but Meri's really surprised me, I wouldn't have thought she was over 200 at all. But I don't think there is any way she is over 200 and wearing a size 14, especially the way she is carrying it on her hips and middle. I am currently down to under 200 and still can barely fit into 1X sized things and my pants are waaaay bigger than a 14!

Commercial for next week sure did look interesting. I wonder if it is going to have a lot to do with Robyn's son?

I'm 5'2 and wear a size 14/16 at 190 lbs. (Did I really just post that out there for everyone to see?????). At 150 lbs I wore a 6/8. I was 130 in college and wore a 4.

You sound like me. I'm 5'6" and weighed 135 in college and was a sz 6/7. I've done a lot of weight lifting in my life and carry a lot of muscle mass. The heaviest I've ever been is 235, and I was an 18 then.

I think part of it is Meri is very pear shaped. Mostly we see her face and she doesn't look heavy, but I remember being kind of shocked the first time I saw her full body from behind. She's quite large from the waist down. Janelle seems more apple shaped, like me. And even when I'm a 10 I still look fat in the face.

ETA-to reply to lovestoscrap. . .I'm currently 205ish and wear a 16 (some 14's too, but that's probably vanity sizing.)

So who's watching all the kids while they're at the gym? Kody?

I have to say, I like them all except Janelle. Don't know why, something just rubs me wrong about her. My favorites are Meri and Christine. And Robyn really doesn't bother me the way she seems to bother others. For me it's Janelle and I can't really tell you why. I just hope for the sake of all those kids, this show doesn't end like the trainwreck once known as J&K+8.

And I thought Kody was showing a bit of jealousy last night saying he expected the trainer to be "professional" with his wives. Sometimes he seems like Bernie Madoff, just waiting for someone to catch on and then the whole thing comes tumbling down.

I thought he said "the 3 of you" or "you 3" and meant Meri, Christine, and Janelle.

Yeah, if this goes the same way as Kate Plus 8 and Duggars shows and turns into "watch the Browns take another vacation and get a bunch of free stuff" then I'm done.

You really think they are paying for the personal trainer?

 

[PrincessKsMom]

I thought he also meant Robyn because he then turned to Janelle and spoke to her directly about her weight, healthy, etc. But I guess you could be right. Why would he want Robyn to lose weight while pregnant?

I am now just dying for the day that I can wear clothes with a 1 in the size that is not followed by an X!

It would be interesting to know how tall they are. I am only about 5'3.5'' so that does make a difference. It is interesting how much a few inches in height can make a big difference in weight and clothes size.

I thought he said "the 3 of you" or "you 3" and meant Meri, Christine, and Janelle.

As soon as he said that I thought that was what he meant to, but he was facing right at Christine, Meri and Robyn and then he turned to look at Janelle and made an obvious transition (something like "as for you") and gave his little speech so it really seemed like he was not including her in the other 3. I have erased it so I can't go back and rewatch.

That is what I thought too, Janelle was definately not part of the "three" he mentioned after he focused on her alone and said she had more work to do (or whatever he said to her). Did he not know that Robyn was pregnant ?

 

[leight]

I guess I saw that part differently- I thought that Meri, Christine and Janelle were the ones on the we'll start with 20lbs- I remember Christine saying that that she didn't want to stop there. I don't remember Robyn being in the main picture on that frame when he made the comment. Of course I was multitasking and doing laundry so I could have missed something,

does anyone know when the season is over?

I like Janelle the best. They all seem a little dotty, but Janelle seems to be the only calm one sometimes. Christine drives me nuts, but I love watching her get all jealous over Robyn. She says she always wanted to be a 3rd wife. I say she always wanted to be the LAST wife!

Janelle is my favorite, as well, although I like all of the original 3 wives. Robyn is too needy and the Kodester is, well, nothing I can say on a family-friendly board.

I think Meri is my fav, she seems so calm.

I've never posted in this thread but occasionally read. These guys live in my neighborhood area, we see Meri at Walmart every once in awhile. No way is she a 14. Maybe fancy, vanity store sizing 14 but not "regular off the rack" size 14. Also that gym is across the street from my house, it's one of those cheapy $11-$20 a month gyms. The more people in your family that join, the cheaper it is. So if they're splitting the trainer on top of the cheap membership/family discount it's probably not that much at all. In my personal opinion, I think the relatively low price is worth it for their health.

I took the starting with 20lbs as directed at the first three wives not Robyn.
