The Plot Thickens

This episode, we’re covering some explosive moments - and we’re not just talking about the fit Glenn Thore throws when he finds out Whitney is pregnant. Maybe it wasn’t just finding out the special news, but it was the fact that Glenn Thore had to find out from none other than COUSIN ALEXIS?!? Oh, the humanity! If you’re going to spill some tea, serve Glenn a cup before you guzzle the whole thing...

On today’s episode Whitney is flabbergasted. Not because she’s pregnant - nope, she’s finally in a place of acceptance about that. Whit’s breaking the news to the baby’s father, Lennie, who she “backslid” with after their breakup. When Lennie asks to see the positive pregnancy test, Whitney isn’t exactly thrilled at the implication that she could be lying. Does Lennie not believe her? And if Whit...

This week, we’re recapping a big (pun intended) episode in MBFFL history - Whit confesses to none other than “Boo Bear” (her CURRENT best friend, Buddy) that she’s pregnant. Buddy doesn’t exactly take it how you’d think… Then the confession goes from 0-100 real quick when Maney, Roy and LauRen attempt to encourage Whit to take a pregnancy test LIVE on the air! Will Whitney do it? I mean, the show...

We ended Season 3 of MBFFL with a BANG - or was it a whimper on a couch between Whit and Lennie? Regardless, we're coming on really strong with Season 4 and no one is going to be disappointed! Because we're opening with a (the first of many) pregnancy scare that we did NOT see coming (this time around)! Whitney is feeling "nauseated" and can't even seem to keep food down these days - she's tired a...

This episode follows the newly single and newly BLONDE homeowner, Whitney! As is customary, just when all the things in Whitney’s life seem to be falling into place with her new home ownership and blonde ‘do, everything else falls spectacularly apart - Whit not only has a pregnancy scare that goes beyond just a missed period (she’s got the multiple pregnancy tests to prove it!) and she also works...

FINALLY we are FINISHED with The Skinny - but don't worry - we're polishing it off and eating every last morsel up for your enjoyment and listening pleasure! Finally, we're bringing comedian Kerrin Feehan onto the love seat to discuss her views about fat people, and SPOILER ALERT: they haven't changed since her episode! Kerrin shows up rough and tumble and ready for a fight. But will she get it? O...

This week on The Skinny, we're dealing with some discomfort. There's not only the looming question of whether Whit and Lennie will rekindle their romance next season, but there's also the question of whether a workplace romance is lingering in the not-so-distant background. While Whit contends with some stunning confessions (Lennie still has feelings for her, Roy - not so much), she must decide wh...

This episode covers The Skinny, the summary episode that we love to hate! We’ve not never-before-seen clips, like Whit humping the snow on the ground (why?), Lennie saying he’d be ok with Whitney buying her own engagement ring (ew…) and more! We also recap the St. Paddy’s Day Parade, where audience members (allegedly) say they’ve never seen a fat leprechaun, Caitie threatening to take over BGDC, a...

This episode, Whit is recounting some of her favorite moments from Season 3! It's The Skinny! This year we've got a brand new host who's not shy about digging into some of our burning questions - does Whit really think she can be fat and fit at the same time? Did Whit and Buddy ever have a connection beyond friendship? And will Lennie try to work his way back into Whitney's heart post-breakup? All...

It’s the night of the big dance competition! This episode has us questioning everything - where will Whitney and Todd fall in the pecking order of dancers in the competition? Are Whit and Lennie going to be ok? Is Roy interested in Whitney as more than just a friend? Is Whitney ever going to climb those elusive stairs? Will it be enough to win Will back as a trainer? Tune in today to find out beca...

Get ready, because this week’s recap of My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 3, Episode 9 is serving drama, determination, and a whole lot of Whitney realness. In this episode, emotions run high as Whitney continues pushing toward her goals—but not without hitting a few bumps (okay, maybe speed bumps) along the way. From navigating complicated friendships to proving—once again—that she’s not here for a...

Back by popular demand, we’re reloading some of our most successful podcast episodes of all time - they’re on one of our other favorite shows from the TLC Universe, 19 Kids and Counting! As much as we live for the Whitney updates, we also are ten toes deep on the Duggar updates, and mostly are living for any accountability that comes Josh’s (and others’) way! We’re bringing you all back to the bac...

We've got an exciting new announcement this episode! It's news about the future of My Big Fat Fabulous Life - and that future might be starting sooner than we thought! Also, we've got word from a Whit Watcher who tried No BS Active and has lots of things to say! this episode, we're focusing on Whit's relationship with Will - is Whitney finally going to show her commitment to Will and their trainin...

On this episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney gets a chance to make a dance DVD! But will her backup dancers fail, putting her reputation (and portfolio) at risk? Will Whit be able to put aside her fears when it comes to Caitie and actually pick the best backup dancer for the job? Or will she go with the safe (less ambitious) choice and suffer the consequences? In the workout side of Whit's...

This week on The Plot Thickens, we’re recapping another landmark event in Babs and Glenn’s life as a married couple - their joint 70th birthday! Whit and Lennie (begrudgingly) are working with the dance coach Gulia and are doing their best to keep up and keep their relationship together at the same time. In the meantime, Will is pleading with Whitney to start sending him photos of her food - even...

Are you ready for the biggest face-off since "down goes Frasier"? Good! Because Whit is going head-to-head and pound for pound with a skinny comedienne who thinks fat jokes are the funniest thing since Bugs Bunny. Whit thinks fat jokes are lazy and lack creativity. Either way, we're in trouble when the comedienne comes on the Maney Roy & LauRen show and makes her opinions known. Whit's also ha...

On this second part of a noteworthy episode, we’ve got some big moments, tense confrontations, and lackluster responses. As we know, Whitney stopped by Lennie’s house on the way to her job at the radio station in the wee hours of the morning, and his truck was nowhere to be found. This week, Whit is putting her situation on the air and asking the hosts of the radio show their thoughts. Spoiler ale...

Something is rotten in Greensboro this episode, and it's not the super boney fish that Will asked Whitney to cook and eat for a healthy dinner! With her back still in the healing process and her relationship with Will on the line, Whit gives swimming a try with crowd favorite, Mattie! And make no mistake, though she's harboring a "Happy Meal," Mattie is all woman and knows her worth! In complainin...

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 prac...

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 w...

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...

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...

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 on...

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...
