Pete and Gretchen start out introducing their usual glass of wine and have a little debate on how to pronounce the thing. Spoiler alert - they don't do well.
The FMC Rewind includes a "discovery" that Pete can be an idiot while discussing Big Brother. Gretchen's views from the couch continues into a bit more on reality shows before they turn to some weight loss talk. They wrap the segment with an update on Pete's training including his dose of reality from a fellow Sub-30 Club and Team E4E member.
The Topic of the Day is based on a Chicago Tribune article (link below) that discussed the fat shaming and fit shaming of women. Women have a different experience when it comes to weight gain, weight loss, and society's treatment of them as they go from fat to fit. It seems women are a bit damned if they do and damned if they don't. They delve deep into subject and try to find a way to make sense of something so frustrating.

Music - "You Got Me Wrong" by Sifar

I was TOTALLY fit shamed by a family member (in-law but non the less) and now our "relationship" is by far what it once was. It's crazy because even after I lost weight never have I thought of myself as "fit" yet she thought shaming me was ok and now as I think back I can guarantee she wouldn't see it that way. It's fine. I'm like Elsa and #LetItGo lol! Awesome chat guys!!
