Anyone Watching This Is Us?



Recommended Posts

My sister has been trying to get me to tune into this show for a year now. Anyone watching this show? I'm only on Season 1 Episode 4--but right now, it makes me very uncomfortable to watch it. I can so relate to the character, Kate...and watching her storyline, really brings things home for me. I also kinda picture my sissy watching the show and thinking that Kate reminds her of me. Anyone else experience this?

I love this show. I have it recording on the DVR because I like to get to bed by 9:30. I am going to watch last nights show tonight.

I think the flaws of this family are one of the things that makes this show so great. Everyone can relate to the characters in one way or another. We all have things about our families that we might not like, but they are still family.

Hurry and catch up so we talk about it on here..lol

Anyone NOT watching This is Us is more like it. It's my favorite. I can definitely sometimes identify with Kate, but then at other times, I'm like come on.

Really good show though.

Yes! Chrissy Metz is amazing!

Randal (Sterling Brown) is my favorite character on the show, but they are all great. His father was so good!!!

I think Kate's struggles really help anyone who watches to understand the feelings of those who have struggled with their weight since childhood. Is your sister overweight? Maybe she will gain compassion. Keep watching. The show has the best writers ever!!!

Wait till you hear her sing!

And yes he's amazing too. Whole cast is really. We just rarely see women of size on TV and she's so brave and real and vulnerable.

I love that show, but I rather watch it recorded.. is to much drama about how the father died.. I guess they will keep us like that till the last season of that show...

I love it too... The relationships between the siblings just feel really real. And I like having a show where a person of size isn't portrayed as the funny-fat-person. Don't get me wrong, I loved Mike & Molly, but fat jokes can only last for so long.

I did NOT like the way Kate was portrayed the first season. It felt like her storyline was to be fat and maybe a little grief, but nothing more. I'm liking her much more this season. Hate her boyfriend though, hate the story of their courtship, and don't think they have any chemistry at all.

Aside from that, though, I love the show! Randall and his wife are the best TV couple ever. Adorable, totally believable chemistry, they play off one another seamlessly.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
