    Fat Girl Spread Thin (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 5, Part 2)

    If we could say one phrase to describe this week’s episode, it would be “don’t drop the soap!” Poor Whitney blows her back out in the shower - whether it was reaching down for soap or something else, she’s out of commission for the Charlotte St. Paddy’s Day Parade and doesn’t know how she can coach the Big Girls when she can barely move! Especially because, as usual, we’re down to the wire on practices before we’re ready to perform. Will Whitney’s back injury ruin her chances of participating in her (alleged) first parade? Or will the “luck of the Irish” (aka Mattie) save the day as usual with a “jazzy” entrance?

    Fat Girl Spread Thin (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 5, Part 1)

    When Whit starts at the radio job (internship) she is quickly thrust (emphasis on thrust) into a situation (of her own making) where she's getting a little too cozy with a coworker. In radio, as Whit tells us, everything goes and you can get a lot more personal and explicit with radio folks than you can with other lines of work! Along with the workers comp issues - Whit threw out her back and it was "exacerbated" by the bagel run she did for her bosses - she also is having auto issues. The car she's been driving since the beginning just about burst into flame, totally preventing her from being at the LAST rehearsal before the St. Paddy's Day performance in Charlotte.

    Losing at Love (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 4, Part 2 Recap)

    This week on The Plot Thickens, we’re confronting some hard topics - everything from old fashioned views on how relationships should work to how well couples should know each other is on the table - and don’t worry, none of it will be drama-free! First, we’ve got Whitney telling Glenn that she wants to move in with Lennie -spoiler alert, y’all: Glenn does NOT like the idea of his baby girl living in sin! Then we’ve got a disastrous couples game night with Whitney and Lennie and Buddy and Heather - Whit gets competitive over which couple knows each other better and she’s not going to like it when Lennie guesses her favorite food incorrectly! Finally, Whit’s heading out on a bike ride with the guys from Recycles and she’s learning that going for a casual couple miles with Lennie in the park is very different from a coordinated 10-mile ride. Will she make it through or embarrass herself in the process? Tune in to find out!

    Losing at Love (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 4, Part 1 Recap)

    This week, we've got an episode of new opportunities for Whit. Whit's heading back to the gym with Will - after her first stair-stepping Rocky moment last week, she's back in the gym and weighing in. Also, Whitney's interviewing for a radio job - but it's not just any job, Whitney's going back to internship level! We took a deep dive into Whit's radio-rife past, and it turns out she was a big time producer back in Greensboro at a small local radio station. Looks like Whit got used to a lot of personal probes at her Greensboro radio job, and she's hoping to use those skills in her new job as Intern Whit. Babs is aghast - and has serious concerns about Whit's "comportment." Whit has the motivation to go back to radio? And at the entry-level, grabbing coffee and bagels? But what about those early hours and the long commute to Charlotte, NC? Whit's surprisingly game for this internship (even with the 3 AM wakeup).

    Speechless (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 3, Part 2 Recap)

    It may be the 2026 Winter Olympics, but our focus is fully on a show that took place about ten years ago - My Big Fat Fabulous Life! Recapping MBFFL is OUR Olympics. We start off this week with another update from Ryan Andreas' "Ask Me Anything" segment on instagram, which received a lot of excitement from the MBFFL community (and a lot of boredom from Ryan's wife)! Episode 3 was another packed one in Season 3 of the show - we had to break it down into two pieces. Last time, we saw Whitney beg Will, her former trainer, to take her back and Will accepted Whit with open arms. In this half of the episode, Whitney's back with Will and she's possibly starting to regret that decision as he puts her fitness to the test in a bit of a challenge to assess her current level. Will Whit falter at the challenge or rise to the occasion?

    Speechless (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 3, Part 1 Recap)

    Welcome back to an extremely tense episode - there’s heart-pumping, cardiologist-rolling drama left and right! In this first half of Episode 3, Whit makes a speech at her Alma mater, Appalachian State! Will she be crushed by questions she can’t answer, like “you’re not a doctor! What entitles you to an opinion on health at any size?” Or will she rise above by telling stories we wish Babs and Glenn didn’t have to hear about intimacy issues while being overweight?  Whit also visits her cardiologist for the first time, and begs for  Will, her former trainer, to take her back as a client.

    A Brush With Death (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 2, Part 2 Recap)

    Never have I ever: Attended my own FUNE. Have y'all ever attended your own fune, and what would you wear? We're here at Whitney's FUNE (how many times can we say "fune" before Whit actually coins in the term in Season 13?) and she is PISSED. None of us would want to be in that room with her, even once she takes her MBFFL headshot off the altar! Hot pink? For a funeral? Interesting choice! We're all holding our breath to see how Whitney absorbs the news that she's died (spoiler alert: it's not good). But at least Whit, Lennie, Buddy and Heather have a fun way to recover: a fun-filled couples trip to Boone! Don't worry, though, this is the first of many couples trips the show covers that ends in much more drama than happiness.

    A Brush With Death (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 2, Part 1 Recap)

    This episode: Brace yourself, because we’re having an intervention! As all previous efforts to convince Whit that (eating-related) crime doesn’t pay have failed, Babs and Glenn are taking things to a new level. With Tal at the helm of this rapidly sinking ship, Whitney’s family and friends decide that throwing her a phony funeral (a “fune” for those who have meowed ‘Amazing Grace’ with us in Season 13). Will attending her own fune be enough to kickstart Whitney’s weight-loss journey once and for all? Or will it make her so mad she backslides to spite her fake-fune-throwing friends and family? Join us and find out!
