But Brandi and Kandi are at a crossroad right
now. They've done just about everything together
and most time even lost the same amount of weight together. But their paths are about
to be very different from one another. So this will be hard for both of them. And Kandi will have to decide if she is
determined enough to keep moving ahead on her own now. So both of them have a lot to
figure out. My twin and I have an absolutely miserable
life. We're getting so big we can barely take care
of each other. Everything's a burden. It makes me hate myself. I don't want to have to rely on anybody
else, but I have to. We know that it's getting close to our final
days and we need to stop it before we get any worse. But it's hard to stop. It's an addiction. You guys want some pancakes? I've tried to stay a part of their lives, and
they told me if I stopped drinking, they'd stop with the food. But I can't break my cycle and they can't
break theirs. Hi, Grandma. Hi. How are you? I know you're afraid to go
see Doctor now because that means that you would have to live in Houston. And I'm here to help you emotionally and
financially. I love you. I love you, too. Amazing. It's scary to think about leaving, but I know
this is our chance to get help and try to take our life back. I can tell that the girls are very stressed
and I'm concerned because any sort of additional stress will send them right back
to relying on food for the comfort. We finally made it. And I'm getting really nervous. I'm scared to see how far I've let myself
go. I'm embarrassed of. How much are we seeing? How much she weighs was hard. So I'm really anxious right now. Between both of you, you're over half a ton. Your weight is out of control. Kandi and brandi hide and go to food
together. Break in. A dynamic like this is hard, but
as twins, this is going to be much harder to address. We've been doing everything we can to follow
the doctor's diet. Just a little extra cheese, please. I'm kind of a cheese person. My sister and I have worked really hard this
past month. We need this surgery more than anything. I'm glad you all lost some weight. And this is very good. My concern is your test results. Their heart may not be strong enough to
survive the procedure. Waiting to hear the outcome of the test has
caused all my anxiety to come back to large number two's. If we don't get surgery, we're just going to
keep gaining until one of us dies. Kandi. Your EKG was abnormal. If you continue not to lose weight, your
heart failure is going to be imminent. Randy, because of your lack of progress, I'm
not approving you for surgery. Hopefully the next time we see the doctor,
the numbers on the scale will show how much we're committed to this new lifestyle. Over the past month, my sister and I have
done everything that the doctor has asked of us. I just really hope that we've lost
enough weight. And this is good. You show me you understand the importance of
sticking to the diet. Brandi, I'm going to approve you for weight
loss surgery. And Kandi, you can get there, too. Brandi and I are back at Dr. Now's to see if we've lost enough weight to
hit our goals and finally get approved for excess skin removal. And Dr. now said we both need to get below
300 to be ready for that. But it's been four months since our last
appointment. And he said we have to stay on track and
lose £60 by today. 288. I can't believe I'm below 300. That's awesome. I'm glad to see all that progress for candy. Hopefully that means I did the same. I've been feeling a little rundown and sick
lately, so sticking to the diet hasn't been an issue. I was at 337 last time, so if I
hit my goal, that means I should be at or below 277. 261. That's incredible. Not only are both of us under 300, but we
both hit our 60 pound weight loss goals. So I'm hoping that means that we finally get
approved to get our excess skin removed. So I know we're both excited right now. Hello. Hi. How are you all doing? Good, How are you? All right. So it's good to see you, too,
again. And to see that you both are making good
progress. Yeah, you to ask for some extra time. And that usually mean some weight gain. So I was a little bit concerned, but it
looked like you to have done well. And Kandi, you're down to 288 pound and
that's pretty much the same weight loss as Brandi, but just 1 pound short. So you two just do the same thing and stick
together, huh? Well, that's great. And I'm proud of how well you both did. And I told you, you need to get below 300 to
be ready for skin removal surgery. So, Brandi, let me take a look at an extra
skin and see what it looks like. All right. And this is becoming a sort of
problem for you. You got a lot of extra skin and also you
still got a lot of fatty tissue. So that's the hanging skin hurt a lot. Yeah, I can see how this is bothering you. And we need to get your body contour back. How about you, Candy? Do you have the same memory access scheme? All right. Let me take a look at yours and
see. And so look like you got some rashes from
your skin rubbing against your body, which has to be very uncomfortable. Yeah, but the issue is that you have a bit
more fat with your excess skin. So what would be the best is if you lose
another £30 before your surgery And we do brandy surgery first. Okay. Okay. So, Brandi, I'm approving you
for your excess skin removal surgery today. And, Candi, I want you to lose weight while
your sister recovers. And if you do that, once she's healed, we'll
do your surgery. Okay. Good. Scrambled. Good, sis. Yeah, that's fine. Jenny and I have been working hard this past
month. Our appointment is in a few weeks and we
think we're on track to hit the goal we need then. So we're feeling good about our
progress right now. And we've also been focusing on getting out
and doing new things together and on our own. And it's all been exciting. Because I've been going out more and meeting
new people and I've also started dating, which is a whole new world again and
something I've given up on. But in the future, after I'm done doing what
I need to be doing for myself, I want to find someone and settle down and have a family
and start a life with someone. It's what a lot of people dream of and it's
what I want to. And I feel like I've already missed out on
so much of my life that I don't want to let any more time slip past me. So I'm not just going to sit around waiting
to hit my target weight to start living again. And I'm not missing out on one more
thing. But Kenny's a little more hesitant and isn't
feeling the same way as me about it. She thinks we're both not ready for a lot of
change. And we've been talking about it because
we've always done things together no matter what. No. You already inhaled. No. It's weird to think about, like, losing
weight and getting healthy and stuff. It opens a lot of doors, and dating is
possibility now. I mean, it's getting easier. Yeah, like dating. I've met a couple acquaintances, but I think
I'll wait till I get home. Yeah, but, like, what if we, like, fall hard
for somebody down here? It'd just be hard to move or have them move. I don't want to expect them to move to
Washington. If they don't, then that'd be like
heartbreak. But in the future. Yeah. I want to have a kid at least. We're getting old. Got to get the ball
rolling. I'm such an idiot. I know. Taking care of herself first is most
important. When I was at my heaviest, I used to think
about things like moving in with someone I love. I didn't think that it was possible. No, no, no. We agree that our focus right
now has to stay on getting our excess skin removal and taking that next step. So we'll see how our next appointment goes
and hopefully we'll both be approved. I took a pregnancy test and Candy and I have
been waiting to see what it says. And the test just showed a positive. So I'm pregnant. Positive. I'm sorry I said it. I don't know what to do. And I'm so scared right now. Obviously, that means I can't move ahead
with my skin removal and I don't know what it means for my weight loss. And if I'm going to be able to even stay on
Dr. Now's program. So I'm really upset. I'm just in shock and I'm scared. What are you going to do? A lot of thinking. I do. I'm feeling. I don't know. It doesn't feel real. It's just horrible
timing. It really is happening. I think I need to make a doctor's
appointment, though. I have to tell Doctor now. And Mom. Yeah. I had no idea this was even a possibility for
Brandi. So I have a lot of mixed emotions right now. I'm upset because Brandi and I were supposed
to be doing this together, and now that's all ruined. And I don't know what it means about
our weight loss and how it's going to work now. So I have so many questions and I don't
know if either of us are going to have any answers any time soon. It doesn't feel real. It's scary. No matter what, you know, I'm here for you. Hello. Hello. How are y'all doing? Good. You? Well, you're all back in a bit early. You said you want to talk to me about an
issue, and you brought your mom, too. So this seems serious. What's going on? There's a change of plans. I'm not going to be able to have my surgery. All right. So what will be the reason for
that? I'm pregnant. You think you're pregnant, or are you sure
you're pregnant? I am. Yeah. That's a good reason not to have
surgery. So this was an unplanned pregnancy? Very. Are you happy about it? If the father knows about pregnancy, is
going to be involved in the process. Okay. You have a lot on your shoulders right
now because there's a lot of unknown in the picture. And I know that's scary, but you
have your family here and you're going to get through it. But that doesn't make this all
any less scary or easier right now. But we'll work with you to help you stay on
track and minimize your weight gain during this. In the meantime, Kandi, if you lose
that last bit of weight, then we can move ahead with your surgery. But there's been two weeks since you were
here last, and you're exactly the same way that last time. But I know there's a lot of emotion in your
home right now, but you need to work to stay on track. If you don't, then surgery won't
be an option and that could lead to you gaining again. But we make sure you both
keep moving forward. Okay? All right, Candy, we'll set up your
next appointment for two months to hit your next goal. And if you want to join her, then
Brandi, that's great. But you will come out the other end of this. Okay? Sometime. Even an unwanted pregnancy doesn't mean it's
unwanted. Child. That's a different story. I've been home from surgery for about four
weeks now, and I've been healing well. I haven't had any issues aside from the pain
that's part of an operation like I had. And I'm getting used to having all the extra
skin off my body. It's been an adjustment having a flat
stomach because I don't think I've ever had one. But now that I'm just about recovered,
I've decided to go back to Washington with Brandi. And we're starting the packing
process now because we know it's going to take a while. We're planning on moving in 5
or 6 weeks or so. I know Brandi needs to go back and I agree. She can't raise the baby here on her own
with all our family half a country away. But we've never lived apart. And it's just too much change for me. And I don't think I'm ready to do this on my
own. So I just need to go with her. But I don't know what Dr. now is going to think because I don't want
to quit the program at all and I'm still dedicated to getting to my target weight. I'm going to take a break. Yeah. And after this surgery, I know I'm very
close, even though I need to have some excess skin removed from my arms and legs. So I feel like I'm close enough to do this
right now. And I just hope when I see a doctor now, I'm
at my next appointment here soon that he agrees. All right. So how is everything going on with
you guys? Doing good. Great. Kandi, do you feel fully recovered
from the last surgery? There's not really much any more pain. That's good to hear. Well, you're down to 214, so you're getting
close to your target of 180. Yeah. And after one more final access candy
wall, you'll be very close. You got at least 20, 30 pound of extra skin
that need to come off once that. Come on. So we're going to be down to 180
and that's going to be a normal weight for you. Great. But you lost almost 400 pound in
just under two years. So that is incredible. So you're going to be at your target in no
time. All right. So how are you doing? I'm doing. So your weight is holding up
pretty good with the pregnancy, huh? How far along are you now? Four months. Four months. So after delivery, wait about four months. And then you can have your skin surgery. So if you're able to stay on track until
then, we can see if you want to pick back up where you left off. Sounds good. Okay. But we're actually moving back to Washington
soon, but we're both willing to come down to keep doing this. I see. Well, you both have come a long way,
and I understand your situation. And since both of you together have lost
nearly 700 pound, I'm willing to work with you on this. Okay. That's a lot of weight, isn't it? It's crazy. But you have to stay focused and
realize you both still have some work to do. Yeah. So all the craving and all the
psychological element that drove you to eat will come back and you're going to have to
be prepared for it. So when you go back home, first thing you
want to do is get a scale because both of you are smart enough to use a normal scale. Now it's a good change. But candy makes you that. You're losing at least 2 pound a week. And definitely that's going to be a goal for
you. All right. I hope to see you both soon. And I'm proud of both of you. Thank you. Thank you for your help. Good luck with the baby. And send me a picture. I will. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Have a good. Two. Bye Bye. Bye. I'm really proud of Kandi and
Brandi. They both work hard and made good progress
for almost two years now. And they're both very close to their target
weight of 180. Kandi will need one more access in round
one. And once she has that, she will practically
be dead. And if Brandi is able to stay on track, she
can pick back up where she left off here in about nine months. So despite everything they have going on in
their life, they both manage to stay on track and have done well. But there's still some more work ahead for
them, and I have no doubt they will make it through it all and keep doing what they need
to make the changes they have made for a lifetime. It felt good to hear Dr. Nelson was proud of
us, and I'm really happy with all my progress and how far me and Brandi have come this
past two years. It's been incredibly hard for both of us,
but we've stuck with it. Brandi may have to wait a little, but I know
that we're both going to keep working hard and do this and get to both our target
weights no matter what.
