Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

[Twinkie]

Okay, fine, but what if she never claimed to be on any kind of weight loss journey? Wouldn't people at least respect her more?

Amberlynn has probably over a thousand videos about weight loss on her channel. Are you saying what if she never did weight loss videos? I still believe the answer would be no. She still would've garnered most of her following in the same way, with the exploitation "watch fatty do a thing" clickbait and grotesque mukbangs and all the drama would still be there. Honestly what is there to respect? The fact that she has no self respect and keeps it pushing to make her checks? If she was just exploiting herself without pretending to want to lose weight (like, say, Hungry Fat Chick) I think she'd get less "hate" but only because it would be less fun to follow the trainwreck. But less hate isn't really the same thing as more respect. She'd just have a lower profile.

I had to read that plaintive post of hers several times to pick up every last bit of whining & gaslighting. A barrage of bullshit!

"I'm sorry to those who were looking forward to the POSSIBILITY of it" - referring to the mythical half assed promised weigh in. Boo-boo - what farmers were looking forward to was what specific excuse you'd choose this time to wiggle out of it.

"If no one can see it, that's fine.I won't show it to you!." In other words: "Mommy & Daddy bought me a unicorn for Christmas but if you don't believe in unicorns, that's fine. YOU don't get a ride."

People wanting something, (allegedly for her to weigh 600 lbs), terrify her to no end. But her current weight doesn't. Man, I wish I had that kind of power over every human I encounter!

"I'm done trying to win validation points..." Boo-boo, you keep playing your little games. But if you ever stop to look at the rest of the table, you'll see the other seats are empty.

'Creating a narrative about her life that entertains them." (Referring to Haydurs). Please... there's a wealth of good film, reading matter & sports/hobbies that provide better quality entertainment. Perhaps she's projecting. When she's squatting on Pillow Mountain, no doubt fantasies about her own life provide her the only form of real entertainment she can handle. Me at worst, YouTube has tons of great cute kitten videos that are far more appealing.

But more to your point, it's fascinating to me that she's got this urge to insulate herself against people (allegedly) wishing her ill. Like, why would it be "terrifying"? The haydurs don't actually have the power to do anything here. Though AL does, of course...

She's scared/terrified of everything, according to her. Like outside. WTF? Get over yourself and find more appropriate words to describe your feelings. (We know she won't, since we all know her crutch words - hell, my name is made up of several of them.)

And even if you weren't engaged full-time in avoiding responsibility for your actions, I could understand you saying you're dismayed or put off or offended or whatever by people being assholes on the internet -- but terrified? I can't wrap my head around this (and thus suspect it's nothing but a particularly sloppy manifestation of Victimlynn).

It's a trifecta: VictimLynn, SympathyLynn, ManipulationLynn.

Additionally, I don't think she really understands (or at least, manages to deny) how much of the freakshow element there is in her channel. Yes, yes, she's got an intuitive feel for how social media works and how to leverage that into viewership (I hesitate to call her a 'savant' because that implies a lot more competence than she actually shows, but her ability to grow her channel borders on something like that).

Definitely not savant status. She has that evil, manipulative sort of "smart" that many narcs do, and once she abandoned the whole "this is a weight loss channel" thing years ago - even if she will never admit it - she used all those different incarnations of herself to gather people to her channel.

But for all that she goes back and forth on whether it's a weightloss channel or not, stringing people along who actually care about her diet attempts for whatever reason, deep down she really thinks people are tuning in for her. I mean, she's got a weightloss channel and has never lost weight. I can see how a simpleminded narcissist could interpret that to mean that people just find her riveting to watch no matter what she does (when the reality is that people are just watching to see how bad it can actually get).

She thinks people actually care about her Walmart hauls and her opinion on Danielle Steele. If she lost weight, she'd do exactly the same things she does now, film it, and wonder why views were dropping off. Her entitled arrogance would get in the way of her doing anything else, just like it has in her real life.

But man, she could make bank for awhile if she really devoted herself to losing weight. But since she's lazy and doesn't want to work, and the trainwreck brings the coin in, we'll continue to get what we've got.

I've always thought that if Amberlynn was less narcissistic and more willing to be honest and open about her life it would make for some compelling viewing. Shows like MSHPL show WLS from a very skewed perspective; what the viewer sees is very much about what the TLC production and editing teams chose to show. There's a lot of the really typical 'lazy-stupid-fat-pig' bias at play in the show, and while many of the show's participants definitely fit the tropes, it's a shame that they chose not to delve into the relationships that many seriously broken and damaged people have with food addiction,
I would enjoy watching a show about a person who is genuinely struggling with these issues and how they approach the process of dealing with trying to mitigate the effects of super-morbid obesity following the route of WLS and physical and emotional therapy. Unfortunately, Amberlynn is both too stupid. lazy, and obnoxious to do this. She lacks any real insight into her actions and behaviors and is unwilling to be honest herself and anyone around her. If she was a nicer person she could make a lot of money from telling her story honestly though.

This is the truth. Even if she did lose weight, at the end of it all, there would still be a stupid, shitty person there.

Amberlynn has probably over a thousand videos about weight loss on her channel. Are you saying what if she never did weight loss videos? I still believe the answer would be no. She still would've garnered most of her following in the same way, with the exploitation "watch fatty do a thing" clickbait and grotesque mukbangs and all the drama would still be there.

But less hate isn't really the same thing as more respect. She'd just have a lower profile.

She's been pimping (or whoring, take your pick, Farmers) herself out for a long time. If she owned up and admitted she didn't want to lose weight, she wouldn't get so much shit from people, that's for sure.

People tend to forget or underestimate, or just don't know that the birth and growth of the Haydur (emphasis on the 'dur') Nation is what drove her subs up.

Prior to MichaelBeTarded and Zach, and the 300 dozen half-breed haydur imitators they spawned, her subs were around 50k. She's now at 151k. They are responsible for her ballooning bank account and bell bottom ankles.

It's their hate wank that buys Brain Dead Becky's coloring books and Hamber's Torrid tarps and endless buffets. They are the ones that increased her presence and drove people to her channel with their inability to use adblock and pathological need to click the subscribe button.

Dipshits. The lot of them.

 

[Cloven hoofed sitchuashun]

Get out your seatbelt extenders; this year's cycles are gunna make you nauseous to the point of nausea.

She's usually just a cunthair more optimistic this time of year, I dont think we got yelled at until post-optavia. I personally can't wait for her to blame rude comments for her being bed bound.

Indeed.

OMG. She's right about it being the haydurs' fault - for once! Lulz.

What's interesting to me is how different she is on other social media versus than she is on YT. There's an really easy path for an ambaby to become a haydur in no time at all: catch her on twitter (when she isn't deleting the thing) or her snapchats, versus watching her attempts to be the quirky fat chick on YT.

 

[L. Ron Hubbard's Cat]

She's been pimping (or whoring, take your pick, Farmers) herself out for a long time. If she owned up and admitted she didn't want to lose weight, she wouldn't get so much shit from people, that's for sure.

Yep. And if she did that, her channel would just die a slow(ish) death. It would be an even more surefire way to kill her channel than for her to actually lose weight.

Her being fat is perhaps a necessary, but insufficient, reason for people to hate her the way they do (and remember, hate = popularity in this weird hellscape of current year). If she gave up on the lies and the delusions she'd get less hate because fewer people would be driven to comment on how fucking idiotic she is. People love pulling their hair out and beating their heads against a wall, and her dishonesty and stupidity (calculated or otherwise) give them plenty to lose their shit over. The fact that her dishonesty and stupidity manifest in her managing to gain 40-50 lbs a year whilst on a public "weight loss journey" is just gravy (heh).

It's pathetic that she exploits her body and health the way she does for views, but I don't even have a word to describe her whoring out what passes for her mental faculties, dignity, or integrity the way she does. Fat or not, intentionally trolling or not, she's built an entire life around being a punchline. Without that, her channel is nothing.

I guess the tragedy is that no one's ever cared enough about her to stop her. People let her weigh 300 lbs at age eleven, they let her leave school without a diploma or any marketable skills whatsoever, and then they let her make a fool of herself online for half a decade as she killed herself with orange chicken.

On the bright side: The scale saying "Goodbye" that time was pretty funny.

 

[Red Mask]

To be fair, it's pretty difficult to care about someone who has revealed herself to be an awful person. I've been thinking "Let her die" for quite some time.

[Pog Mathoin]

Was just watching the most recent episode of my 600 LB life (Lindsey) and heard her utter the words..."but I know what my body needs and what's gonna work for me" and I mentally added the words "BOO BOO!" and burst out laughing. The delusion is universal it would seem.

 

[Strawberry Pocky]

I can't believe she actually returned to the "wonky batteries" scale excuse. I get that her entire strategy is Exploit The Rare Newbie/Exploit Haydurrs for views, but.. I wonder honestly if she possessed the mental capacity to remember she pulled this one already back when she lived in Casa Cats Can Shit In The Extra Room.
Kiwi Farms remembers.

lmao, Shaquana Jefferson used the autismic MUH BROKEN SCALE / MUH WONKEY BATTERIES excuse for like eight goddamn months or something outrageously ott like that as well, when she was massively overweight again but sveekishly dodging every single promised weigh in or diet update. Amber's vast and ample herd of lolcalf followers really are just like her.

It requires such an incredibly low view of your audience's intellect to believe that they will buy "battery is broken". Fat Ladies.. noone believes your scale has a fucking rechargeable lithium battery or some shit. You have four burned out AAs.
Amber, you spend four hours a week in Dollar Tree. Problem fucking solved.
Even if by some chance you did have some fucked up rechargeable scale, you're telling me $10,000 a month can't buy that shit on Amazon with 2day delivery? You look like a poop emoji. Everyone knows you just don't want to admit you've hit that frankly incredible 600 pound mark.
But that's not even close to my favorite scale-related lah. Not tare, either. My favorite is when it takes fifteen goddamn minutes for the scale to register the weight when Amber is supposedly standing still and not at all desperately trying to balance her shelf ass on a stool she dragged over which is undoubtedly suffering total structural goddamn collapse.

Edit: fucking autocorrect

I, for one, am shocked.

Not really.

TL;DR: Haydurs were meaan, so I'm denying my viewers any interesting content. Amber is a business genius.

This exactly. I'm so tired of people claiming that it's mandatory to care about every single person on this earth. We can't. It's impossible. And there ARE such things as piece of shit people that you are allowed to hate.

 

[Your_Fairy_Wish_Prince]

I forgot she said she wants to walk one million steps.

So 0.73 miles a day for a year?


Congrats gorls I know all of us have accomplished that!

Best part is when she said it, she was on her second day and already 3000 steps behind her goal.

 

[DefCon Dumb]

It's hard to be certain but I doubt she can take a step with a stride length longer than 18"; the fat on her thighs & her hips can't allow for any truly free movement. 3,945 steps to a mile at 18" per step so yeah, 3/4 of a mile a day is what she's "aiming" for.

No way, no how - even if she takes the easy way of counting every step from the time she heaves her carcass out of bed to crawling back in for the night. Considering her size & inactivity, few could fault her for that until she started losing weight, (IF that was happening), but my money is on her talking a good Fitbit game if she feels she has to address this & a bigger side bet on her avoiding the topic completely.

 

[a llama weighs 450lbs]

she doesn't even really walk, it's more like one stump steps forward, drag the other stump, repeat a few times a day
