Weight.......


I noticed during the Newlywed game episode, all of the older kids except 1 are really overweight and the wives are all as well! I wonder what has changed about their eating habits in the last few years that they've put on so much weight? Maybe I just didn't notice it before.

reply

Well, their diet is horrible. Plus, they are not active. Best believe, the younger kids will be overweight.

You've never noticed they are overweight? They had an entire season about their weight. Christine is the thinnest she's ever been - someone said she stopped eating sugar. Janelle has gained all her weight back - she looks terrible, but she's trying again with her new company. Robyn has gained a little weight, I think she looks fine. Meri has been fat almost since the first season. The kids look the same to me. They've always been overweight. Aspyn seems to try and keep her weight down and Mykelti is just big. If she gets pregnant at this weight and doesn't do anything afterward, she's going to be huge. Maddie has been at a normal weight for years.

Janelle has gained all her weight back -


When did she really lose any weight? During her "health kick" I was searching to see some weight loss. Now, she's gotten bigger. I know she didn't lose any weight, because she was only exercising and dieting. I remember she saw a nutritionist or the coach talked to her about her eating habits.

Meri has been fat almost since the first season.


Meri was never fat. In fact, she and Robyn have been the wives that were the slimmer ones. Now, she has gained and lost weight. I would say she is more of a yo-yo dieter.

The kids look the same to me. They've always been overweight.


Looking back at a lot of pics, the kids were not big in Utah, but I guess the Vegas buffet lines did them in, well the girls. The boys are pretty much at a healthy weight. This pic shows them in Vegas at the Brown's commitment ceremony.

In the above link, Aspyn was slimmer than Aspyn who had a pot belly with pounds. However, now, Aspyn is huge -- not big -- huge. If she gets pregnant at this size, she could possibly be battling more than pounds.

Janelle lost a ton of weight, about 2 years ago. She was running every morning & she ran in a race. Are you up to date on the episodes? Meri is huge. She wasn't at the beginning but she is now. The kids have grown and changed. Mykelti looks really cute in that photo and Aspyn is huge, but they switched places.

I remember when Janelle lost weight a couple of seasons ago. She was seeing a personal trainer and eating better. She commented that she could buy cloths in a regular department store for the first time in years. Sadly, she has gained it back. It just shows how difficult it is to lost weight and keep it off after your early adult years.

Most of Kody's daughters have always been on the bigger side of normal, at least since their teens. The only slim ones are Robin's two older daughters.

reply

Ysabel and Gwen aren't big - yet. Remember how cute Mariah was during the first season?

reply

True, and I guess Savannah is not either. I think of them as preteens but I guess that isn't true anymore. I didn't mean that the others are huge or obese, but on the heavier end of normal. Nothing wrong with that.

reply

The last time we saw Savannah she did not look petite. She looks like she's built just like Janelle. Right now I think Ysabel is the prettiest and smallest Brown girl. Gwen is just big - I mean she and Paedon have the same genes. Maybe she'll just be tall.

reply

Prettiest, I'd have to say Aspyn. Ysabel maybe, but still not fully grown.

reply

That's why I said right now - she's not grown and has braces, but that is kind of a precursor - the Brown kids have pretty good teeth but her teeth will be perfect. I think Aspyn is really pretty.

Cin: Janelle lost a ton of weight, about 2 years ago. She was running every morning & she ran in a race. Are you up to date on the episodes?


Yes, I'm up to date, but I didn't hink Janelle lost a "ton of weight." I was scratching my head, when she was on that health kick. The problem was that she was not eating right.

Meri is huge. She wasn't at the beginning but she is now.


I wouldn't say she is huge, but she is bigger than usual.

The kids have grown and changed. Mykelti looks really cute in that photo and Aspyn is huge, but they switched places.


LOL. That's true.

I sure wished to see Mykelti pursuing a fashion career.

reply

I don't remember what Janelle was eating. I just remember the photos of her at that 5K race she ran - she did lose a lot of weight. I think she lost most of it when they weren't filming and started gaining it back just as fast.

Maybe Meri has lost a little weight or she has started dressing differently. I scrolled her Twitter and Instagram. She's now wearing those clothes she sells, leggings with long sweaters. It does look better than those plastered on jeans.

reply

I don't think Janelle has gained all of the weight back though. Watching some of the older clips shows that she was still heavier then than now. You can see it especially in her face.

"Two gin and Frescas"
"Shaken, not ridiculed"

reply

I don't know - maybe she is losing again since she started this Strive company. She is walking (again) however when I saw her at Maddie's wedding I nearly fell off my chair. She was huge.

reply

Meri is huge and even when she was saying she was losing a lot of weight during the dreaded catfishing crap, she still looked huge to me. She has always been big.
Janelle was looking good but I noticed she has gained much of it back. She still is beautiful but I wish she would really be able to lose enough o be healthy.
Christine looks really good now.
Robyn....well, everyone here knows how I feel about her so I will refrain for any comments about her so fat or thin makes no difference to me when it comes to her...

reply

Meri carries most of her weight in her lower half. To look at her head and shoulders she looks average, but her butt is huge. She was thin when the show started. Janelle and many of the girls carry weight in the middle. Janelle looks like Jabba the hut when she is sitting on the couch. I think she eats her pain.

reply

Janelle has one of the oddest bodies I've seen. Sometimes when she is sitting down I wonder how she can get up and stay vertical. I worry for Savannah and am glad Maddie was so thin when she got pregnant. So far, she's all baby.

reply

Meri is a pear, when she gains weight it is mostly on the bottom. Janelle and Christine are apples, so weight gain goes more to the middle. Robyn is more of a rectangle, but not overweight.

reply

Janelle is a melon.

Janelle was on a local Las Vegas show talking about her Strive program. She said there were no resources for people like her, ie people who are morbidly obese and/or obese all their life. She said she couldn't even find a trainer. When people have TV shows that are recorded, they need to be careful when they LIE. Also, considering, that 1/3 of the country is overweight, 1/3 are considered obese and 6% morbidly obese, I think there are a lot of resources available. Plus she said in the interview and I'm paraphrasing, it's just a matter of moving which is correct. What resource do you need for that? Plus she said she plans to live to be 100. She just hopes Kody dies before then. I said the last part. 
