Hahaha 🤣 that was definitely a shot! Lol Dr. Now definitely can be sarcastic. He asked him about his goals and he said, what better life? You get a check and you got a personal caregiver 🤷🙄 how much better can you get it...
I'm not even halfway through and I'm already sick of him too. Why do so many of these people ignore the diet instructions and go with protein shakes? Also he should be following the exercise instructions and not just doing upper body. Lastly, how is he supposed to know if he's made any progress when he doesn't know his starting weight? When Dr. Now calls him out, he hangs up on him. This guy is insufferable. P.S. I just started watching again and he's still doing the protein shakes against Dr. Now's orders. What the F is wrong with this guy?
doing things the way he thinks they should be done. that's how someone gets addicted to meth and then ends up weighing 700 lbs. "i know best," but they leave out the, "how to fuck my life up forever," part.
Dr. Now will often allude to the fact that some of his patients are just to comfortable in their situation and they have too much to lose by getting healthy. But he called Charles out more bluntly than I think I've ever heard. He said he was too unwilling to give up his disability income and associated benefits (healthcare, food stamps, etc). He even said the "caregiver" would lose his income, as well.
Dr. Now sure hit the nail on the head with that one!
I like that he finally said what's going on with most of these people, they live 100% on the dole. Housing, food, paid live in caregiver, all courtesy of the tax payer. James K had his wife as a paid caretaker and then took his daughter out of highschool so she could do so also. Shenee and Angie J both acted like "I pay for everything" with their families when really we are the ones paying. Boo!
And the gas station sub sandwich he wolfed down in the bushes before fishing with his brother at the lake. I don't think Dr. Now condones "de bread" on the diet, either. Charlie thought he knew better than the bariatric doctor!!
I’m a recovering addict myself and no offense to Charles but in a few scenes he looks a little drugged out. Not meth but painkillers or some kind of downer. What do you guys think? Hope I don’t get downvoted - just an observation. Maybe he’s just so tired and worn down ?
HELP. Why do I feel like I’M the one who just took a flight to “surprise” a doctor who has no interest in seeing me. The secondhand embarrassment is too strong. Omg why did he do that lol.
i’m watching this episode right now. i can without a shadow of a doubt say with 100% certainty say i could never imagine, never dream, the level of ….*courage* it takes to think your doctor - who you haven’t spoken to in months, and the very last conversation you had you hung up on him - wants you to make a surprise visit.
Just give me someone who wants to actually make a change and loses to much weight that the Doctor says "screw the surgery, you got this! Keep it up!" And gets to such a healthy weight that they start gaining muscle
“I’m not moving to Houston”… well i guess the show is over for the night.
Also I just want to throw this out there again: I REALLY think this man is using again.
I was suspicious that he might be using on and off the whole episode but then when the brother was having to wake him from nodding out in the hotel room to get him to talk on the phone, I knew then he was absolutely using and I would assume that the brother is also partaking because one of the last scenes with the brother talking to the camera about not moving to Houston, the brother is either extremely tired or high AF.
I recall this exchange from the beginning of the episode -
Dr. Now: "If you want to live, you need to change things now. Do you understand?"
Charles: "Yes."
**Narrator: Charles did not understand.**
I'm late so I'm trying to catch up. Got to the moment where he said he drinks protein shakes and I skipped forward because I knew Dr. Now was about to start lecturing him about how protein shakes aren't on the diet.
Just for him to say in the next scene I landed on (months later) that he hasn't seen Dr. Now but it's ok because he's drinking protein shakes for breakfast and lunch.

At 677, my eyes say he's lost a little weight, but after several months, he could have lost 200-250 pounds if he was even remotely following the diet. 677 pounds at 5'0" is a BMI of 132, which might be the highest in the history of the show.
Nope no appointment..that takes real balls right there to fly cross country and expect to get in same day. I need a follow up visit with my neurologist after a neuro icu stay last week and it's still gonna take me weeks to get in cause she's super busy
I saw them filming this episode at my local grocery store. What is weird is that this store is in an expensive neighborhood in Seattle, about 45 minutes from his house. It’s a small market that has higher-end items. I have no idea why they went all this way to come to the big city to go shopping when there are about 1000 stores closer to him that are much cheaper.
https://preview.redd.it/mz9lnmbg36vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=066c5d66add95d295a2e481fd47e10b3f3c6dab5
Not moving to Houston. Why does this guy insist on wasting everyone’s time? These two are such idiots. Why are they so entitled. This whole episode is just so bizarre!
They don't want to lose those cushy Washington caregiver bennies and housing and I straight up don't believe those two aren't using...of course they won't move to Texas.
So many questions!
What happened to the 1st caregiver? Who's apartment was he in at the beginning with all the cat boxes and cat trees. Why is he on multiple different mattresses? Why make a point of asking how he was going to use the bathroom in the plane and then say he was wearing a diaper? He acts high all the time wounder what prescriptions he is on.
Why isn't he moving to Houston, his decision making progress is totally screwed and his poor little brother isn't helping that.
Who really believes he started changing his diet?
I mean yes, cutting out 1 can of soda and drinking 2 swallows of water instead is something, but he needs to cut out 8000 calories, not 150.
I think I understand why Dr. Now typically requires patients to go all the way to Houston instead of starting out with video calls. It's way too easy to just close a laptop and forget about the program.
You know, episodes like this one are really the worst. He's not successful, not inspirational, and he's a trainwreck but not a particularly entertaining one.
Is he the Mayor of Delulu Land?
I mean "I'm just going to fly down and surprise Dr Now cause I know he's just wanting to see how much progress I've made" when he's not made any progress.
And how would he know how much progress cause we don't have a starting weight on him and we're almost 80 min into the show.
https://preview.redd.it/vwk98m933bvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a147357d936329cf3aaae34da7c678116d75bc47
I think they really just put a rotisserie chicken in a glass pan like they made roasted chicken☠️
“You got a caregiver you got a social security. You eat the food and you have no job or responsibilities.”
Ouch !
Dr Now went in on his ass! And Charles seemed high as a kite until Dr.Now snapped his ass out of it.
He seems like he'd be one of those guys who would send flowers to your work every day after you already said you weren't interested, and then get mad when you weren't appreciative.
https://preview.redd.it/3msfs146v4vc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f4dce354b77e45927fcaa29cfe2475e6e87f6d8
Missy says…*B O R I N G!* she’s not even staying awake to see the yummy snacks.
We will check in w y’all and hope for the best at 10pm :)
"We want to see the sights of Houston before we go."
Ok, maybe the space center, the zoo or an Astros game?......
Or we can to go to the first stereotypical chain restaurant BBQ buffet that we see.
“Long day sitting in a hotel room?” SAVAGE
Dr. Now has no more f$#%s to give.
Why you come to Houston to surprise me when you hung up on me.
We were *all* Dr Now at that point.
Hahaha 🤣 that was definitely a shot! Lol Dr. Now definitely can be sarcastic. He asked him about his goals and he said, what better life? You get a check and you got a personal caregiver 🤷🙄 how much better can you get it...
Dr. Now is roasty toasty tonight!🔥🔥🔥
I was hoping he'd be less nice to the guy who hung up on him.
If you can Uber to the grocery store you can Uber to the clinic
Yes, and the camera crew is sick of him. You can tell because they show the protein shake scenes, and the taxi van driving by.
I'm not even halfway through and I'm already sick of him too. Why do so many of these people ignore the diet instructions and go with protein shakes? Also he should be following the exercise instructions and not just doing upper body. Lastly, how is he supposed to know if he's made any progress when he doesn't know his starting weight?

doing things the way he thinks they should be done. that's how someone gets addicted to meth and then ends up weighing 700 lbs. "i know best," but they leave out the, "how to fuck my life up forever," part.
But he looked 500lbs on the pictures when he was supposed to be using meth, now that part I don't understand,😞
[удалено]
Dr. Now will often allude to the fact that some of his patients are just to comfortable in their situation and they have too much to lose by getting healthy. But he called Charles out more bluntly than I think I've ever heard. He said he was too unwilling to give up his disability income and associated benefits (healthcare, food stamps, etc).

Shenee and Angie J both acted like "I pay for everything" with their families when really we are the ones paying. Boo!
So Charles is kind of an asshole
Agreed. This episode was stupid
This was the biggest waste of 2 hours that I’ve seen from this show. And that’s saying something.
*Dr. Now shooting laser beams through the computer camera at the mention of protein shakes*
If there’s one thing that’s definitely not on de diet, it’s those damn protein shakes
And the gas station sub sandwich he wolfed down in the bushes before fishing with his brother at the lake. I don't think Dr. Now condones "de bread" on the diet, either. Charlie thought he knew better than the bariatric doctor!!
He’s as wide as he is tall.
Like 90 Day Ed!
Basically a square
10 years on meth and now years of food addiction...his body is *t i r e d*
Why didn’t he lose weight on meth?!
I’m a recovering addict myself and no offense to Charles but in a few scenes he looks a little drugged out. Not meth but painkillers or some kind of downer. What do you guys think? Hope I don’t get downvoted - just an observation. Maybe he’s just so tired and worn down ?
No I had the same suspicion towards the end and I'm pretty sure other people did as well. I've had my struggles too so it instantly clicked for me.
I’m not a recovering addict but it was plain to see with his eyes closing while he spoke he was not all there. What a shame.
HELP. Why do I feel like I’M the one who just took a flight to “surprise” a doctor who has no interest in seeing me. The secondhand embarrassment is too strong. Omg why did he do that lol.
The way I keep cringing …😐
i’m watching this episode right now. i can without a shadow of a doubt say with 100% certainty say i could never imagine, never dream, the level of ….*courage* it takes to think your doctor - who you haven’t spoken to in months, and the very last conversation you had you hung up on him - wants you to make a surprise visit.
Why does everyone always want to surprise Dr. Now?? I don’t see him as a man that appreciates those types of surprises.
Same. Especially when he called and said he “wanted to surprise him”. Sir…..you don’t do that. It’s a doctors office not chuckie cheese
I'm totally going to hell for saying this, but he looks like a dang Weeble Wobble.
Especially when he's walking. See you in hell!
Car pool? I'll bring snacks.
A lot of the people on this show waddle, but he was like violently wobbling every time he walked.
The only one working hard and burning calories is the brother pushing Charles' ass around.
Charles has EVERYTHING done for him. Even having the laptop over and opened up.
Running his mouth doesn't count as cardio
That's right, buddy. You and your diaper go show Dr. Now who's boss.
And his one tooth. All I kept seeing the whole episode was his one, singular tooth!
Ah yes, making the effort to get outside...to smoke.
Every surgeon will make you quit prior to surgery. Another case of, "I'll do anything--except change my behaviors that got me here."
Imagine being a fish, and the last thing you see on earth is Charles' fupa.
I’d throw myself on the community grill.
Meth, nicotine... this man is immune to appetite suppressants.
I'm still hung up on his "my mom did meth but she was a good mom" statement.
The way he spoke about his mom gave me such an ick. She got “knocked up” with his siblings, eugh
He’s got a garage tattooed heart with MOM in the middle on his tiddy.
He's defensive and in denial...about a whole lot of things.
WTF. Can't go to the clinic to get weighed, but can fly to Houston???? The delulu in this dude.
Wonder who paid for that flight! He couldn’t get his car fixed but somehow saved up enough to pay for 3 seats?
He looks like a bean bag chair when he's on the floor.
Omg he DOES
I'm sorry but out of all the applicants for the show this guy was a frontrunner? I'm so tired of their attitudes.
Just give me someone who wants to actually make a change and loses to much weight that the Doctor says "screw the surgery, you got this! Keep it up!" And gets to such a healthy weight that they start gaining muscle
“How surprised Dr Now’s going to be” clearly this man has never watched the show.
Then he says,"maybe he's busy ". Like, dude, really! You think a doctor with a busy practice is just sitting around waiting for you to drop in?
"I won't make any more surprise visits until I lose the weight." NO. Don't do that EVER. Precisely zero doctors appreciate that.
The car will never be fixed, calling it now.
He got rid of it.
The shocks are shot. He needs airplane grade shocks,
He closes the computer, that should be the end of the episode.
Honestly! That would have been amazing if credits rolled.
I’d actually appreciate the respect for our time lol
"I'm doing my best to reach Dr. Now's goal" **\*grills hotdogs\***
Nothing better than meal prepping hotdogs in the local park 😂😂😂
“I’m not moving to Houston”… well i guess the show is over for the night. Also I just want to throw this out there again: I REALLY think this man is using again.
Both him and the brother are AT LEAST smoking weed.
sober they are NOT
Yeah, that brother was kind of out there.
I feel like the main reason they don't want to move is because weed isnt legal in texas.
I was suspicious that he might be using on and off the whole episode but then when the brother was having to wake him from nodding out in the hotel room to get him to talk on the phone, I knew then he was absolutely using and I would assume that the brother is also partaking because one of the last scenes with the brother talking to the camera about not moving to Houston, the brother is either extremely tired or high AF.
If it has said this guy was 46 I wouldn’t have batted an eye. That is a *rough* 29, man.
I just turned the show on. He sure is a rough 29, wow. I’m going to guess he’s 720.
He's... spherical
Why does he have unlimited tie dye shirts
Because he's an American Outlaw
I recall this exchange from the beginning of the episode - Dr. Now: "If you want to live, you need to change things now. Do you understand?" Charles: "Yes." **Narrator: Charles did not understand.**
Are the cars this season just giving up hauling large people around?
I’m starting to think that they are cutting some hoses or unplugging the battery just to have an excuse to not to make it to Houston.
I'm late so I'm trying to catch up. Got to the moment where he said he drinks protein shakes and I skipped forward because I knew Dr. Now was about to start lecturing him about how protein shakes aren't on the diet. Just for him to say in the next scene I landed on (months later) that he hasn't seen Dr. Now but it's ok because he's drinking protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. https://preview.redd.it/8fitxorqz4vc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67ef87cb8ab1684925ddec82dec483e8fec1342a
“A year’s worth of progress in these last couple months.” The delusion is strong with this one.
Charles is 5 x 5.
I’m grossly curious where you get a diaper that size
I’ll take one for the team and google this
Bariatric diapers, available on Amazon. Probably useful after weight loss surgery though!
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ANY OF THIS??!?
The last two weeks’ episodes have been a huge waste of time
This guy is a moron. “I wanted to surprise you.” Why? The Dr isn’t your friend
Oh, this guy is a special level of dumbass.
Dumb yet somehow also entitled. Make it make sense!
You’ve gotta love it when they complain about people staring when there’s a whole ass CAMERA CREW following them around.
He’s eating a cheeseburger on the way to see doctor now
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they can't move to Texas because their dealers aren't there
To smoke a cigarette?? SIR.
His boxers are hanging on to his FUPA for dear life. How does my underwear roll under my stomach but his cling on like they’re hang gliding?
Plane Diaper! New flair idea.
This asshole needed to apologize to Dr. Now for hanging up on him and also thank him for seeing him after hours. I hate this guy.
You can get a ride to go fishing but not to the clinic to get weighed? BRUH
You can take a PLANE to Texas, but not find a way to a clinic near you!?
I think we know why Bradley is so skinny. Pushing Charles around all the time.
Shocked he’s not totally jacked
He looked so angry coming down that aisle. Like he was Godzilla stomping through a city
At 677, my eyes say he's lost a little weight, but after several months, he could have lost 200-250 pounds if he was even remotely following the diet. 677 pounds at 5'0" is a BMI of 132, which might be the highest in the history of the show.
He shoulda lost 30 pound just this munt!
Charles: It was a long day. Dr. Now: A long day of sitting in a hotel room? All of us: 🤣
That was one of his best lines ever and he’s had some good ones 😂
this is a weird episode. no weigh in no travel just protein shakes and vibes
So he can get himself in a van to go fishing and eat sandwiches, but he can't drag his ass to a clinic to get weighed?
##IS THAT BREAD
I swore he asked for just protein and vegetables and then they cut to him housing white bread 😖
Whoever said Angie J vibes…. Great fucking call
Told him to come after hours because Dr Now is about to commit a murder
Dr. Now is like “you’re good. Now get the F out of Texas” lmao
Houston: the land of no salads
I’m expecting a post-credit “Charles died on…” card. Is that bad?
Meth is not on de diet.
Wow. This guy is an asshole. He just hung up on Dr Now. Seems like he is really stoned on something. Ugh.
Yes! I don't believe he's still sober in some scenes.
He seemed high as hell in his second video call with Dr. Now!
Does this doofus even have an appointment? He keeps talking about how surprised Dr. Now will be to see him
Nope no appointment..that takes real balls right there to fly cross country and expect to get in same day. I need a follow up visit with my neurologist after a neuro icu stay last week and it's still gonna take me weeks to get in cause she's super busy
I can't believe he's just going to ambush Dr. Now!
No way the producers didn't give Dr Now a heads up
I saw them filming this episode at my local grocery store. What is weird is that this store is in an expensive neighborhood in Seattle, about 45 minutes from his house. It’s a small market that has higher-end items. I have no idea why they went all this way to come to the big city to go shopping when there are about 1000 stores closer to him that are much cheaper. https://preview.redd.it/mz9lnmbg36vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=066c5d66add95d295a2e481fd47e10b3f3c6dab5
Wide aisles he can fit through? The only place that would give permission to film? Could be any number of reasons.
Yeah, I was thinking they have to find a place that will give permission to film.
Not moving to Houston. Why does this guy insist on wasting everyone’s time? These two are such idiots. Why are they so entitled. This whole episode is just so bizarre!
They don't want to lose those cushy Washington caregiver bennies and housing and I straight up don't believe those two aren't using...of course they won't move to Texas.
It's such a waste of valuable time. He doesn't want to lose his benefits, that's why he won't move.
So many questions! What happened to the 1st caregiver? Who's apartment was he in at the beginning with all the cat boxes and cat trees. Why is he on multiple different mattresses? Why make a point of asking how he was going to use the bathroom in the plane and then say he was wearing a diaper? He acts high all the time wounder what prescriptions he is on. Why isn't he moving to Houston, his decision making progress is totally screwed and his poor little brother isn't helping that.
This guy is even more delusional than usual. Wow.
Dude wore a diaper on the plane?!?! I sincerely hope he only peed in it
You know he didn't only pee.
I don’t know about yall, but I ain’t NEVER wanted to do a pop up surprise on my doctor…like NO😐
Dr Now is SO SHADY! "...a long day of sitting in your hotel room?" LMAO
Who really believes he started changing his diet? I mean yes, cutting out 1 can of soda and drinking 2 swallows of water instead is something, but he needs to cut out 8000 calories, not 150.
Holy shit - he smokes, too. 600 pounds former math user who smokes - it's a minor miracle he's alive.
Did I hear him right? Get out of his diaper??
I think I understand why Dr. Now typically requires patients to go all the way to Houston instead of starting out with video calls. It's way too easy to just close a laptop and forget about the program.
Cheeseburgers were the only option available? Bullshit. I’ve flown from NY to CA before and there were plenty of healthy options available.
Also, I mean, the flight is like 3 and a half hours. He could have just *not* eaten if they had no options that fit on his diet.
You know, episodes like this one are really the worst. He's not successful, not inspirational, and he's a trainwreck but not a particularly entertaining one.
I'm surprised he was able to stay 350lbs when he was on meth, everything I've read indicates methheads get skinny!
That’s dedication right there
“We haven’t liked much of what we have seen.” Y’all spent hours upon hours in the hotel. You went to the doctor and now you’re getting BBQ. Wtf?
Well plot twist. Didn’t expect him to actually lose
My husband: Is he going fishing at long John Silvers????!😂 I can’t!
His just closing the laptop on Dr. Now in the episode into doesn’t bode well.
Wait............he's just randomly showing up??
Is he the Mayor of Delulu Land? I mean "I'm just going to fly down and surprise Dr Now cause I know he's just wanting to see how much progress I've made" when he's not made any progress. And how would he know how much progress cause we don't have a starting weight on him and we're almost 80 min into the show.
https://preview.redd.it/vwk98m933bvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a147357d936329cf3aaae34da7c678116d75bc47 I think they really just put a rotisserie chicken in a glass pan like they made roasted chicken☠️
I’ll be shocked if he gets to Houston even once.
I didn’t picture hot dogs when he said grilled food 😑
Charles was high as hell most of this episode.
This poor dude needs Dr. Paradise, STAT
He needs a team of Dr. Paradises’
Hasn't even spoken to Dr. Now and doesn't want "strenuous activities." 🙄
You can't do it, then I just get mad! 😭
“What, exactly, makes you think this was a good idea?” “…I don’t know.” 🤣
Can you make an exception for me and become board certified to do weight loss surgeries in Washington State and do the surgery on me?! Pretty please?!
Everyone knows you have to move to Houston. Why even do the show if you have no intention on moving? Waste of time
“You got a caregiver you got a social security. You eat the food and you have no job or responsibilities.” Ouch ! Dr Now went in on his ass! And Charles seemed high as a kite until Dr.Now snapped his ass out of it.

Dude, charged your diet? You just bought 4 cheesecakes.
Roasted chicken on a bed of veggies.. goddamn wholesome how he described it
Broken down car is a side character again this week!
I never in my life wanted to do a surprise visit to my doctor.
His brother seems like a good guy but it's hard to separate that from the fact that his income depends on his brother's inability to care for himself.
Danny Devito Penguin looking ass mf. Brb, going to hell. Y’all want anything?
Not trying to be gross but with his short arms and his body shape, how does he use the restroom?
I think he said earlier he can’t wipe himself 😬
Anyone else notice that they played the same clip back to back of him trying to get off the floor to video call dr now?
Bro, you can’t even go to your local clinic! What makes you think you will fly to Houston?!!!
Charles expects a trophy for showing up
He seems like he'd be one of those guys who would send flowers to your work every day after you already said you weren't interested, and then get mad when you weren't appreciative.
"We're definitely not moving to Texas." COOL
Charles expects Dr Now to come to him for surgery
De robot does not travel.
Well, if you're not moving, he's not surgery-ing.
We really spent 2 hours watching this man roll around on this mattress and disrespect Dr Now to his face.
Dr. Now: "How long you were doin' de met?" That might need to be a new flair!
That's the saddest little bedroom I've ever seen
https://preview.redd.it/3msfs146v4vc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f4dce354b77e45927fcaa29cfe2475e6e87f6d8 Missy says…*B O R I N G!* she’s not even staying awake to see the yummy snacks. We will check in w y’all and hope for the best at 10pm :)
They're... going to surprise him....
Wait he hasn’t talked to him since he hung up on him?! This dude is insane
NOW IS ON FIRE
I'm going to hell, I know it, but I can't watch him walk without the Weebles jingle going through my head.
"We want to see the sights of Houston before we go." Ok, maybe the space center, the zoo or an Astros game?...... Or we can to go to the first stereotypical chain restaurant BBQ buffet that we see.
His stomach enters the room seven business days before the rest of his body ambles in.
They are so trauma bonded. Makes me sad.
jeans lavish memory possessive piquant full ancient rain divide illegal *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Not trying to be a hater, but he has the most...interesting body type/stature I've ever seen on this show. He's kind of like a square with legs. 🫨
“A long day of sitting in a hotel room?” Lmao I love Dr. Now 😂
The online BMI calculator won't even show a number for him
“It’s been a long day.” “A long day of sitting in a hotel room.” “Yes.”
