Hi everyone..short update and fun poll.....

  • Hi all...
    Well..I'm officially back in the saddle again..yeahhhhhh. Ever since my "fainting spell"....I've been not exercising and not eating the best either...ugggghhhhh. I kind of got back on it and then jumped off again BUT...it's on now baby!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have re-committed 100%!!!!! I have not lost 70 plus pounds for nothing and I know I have a ways to go yet so therefore I have no other choice but to carry on!!! I am still looking forward to being 140 pounds when we go to Country Fest in late June....I can do it. If I don't get "all the way there" by then....it will still be ok...I'll still be way better off than I am right now. I'm excited about this again....I've been counting WW points, got a little bit of exercise in today,etc. Yeahhhhh for me.

    Oh...now for the fun poll..... Someone at work the other day said that I reminded her of Mandy Moore....she said our face shape and bone structure were similar. I was sooooo happy because I love Mandy...she is beautiful!!! I think maybe that's what inspired me to get back on track. I would love to look just like her.....I know I'll never be as pretty as her...but what the heck..I can try right? I struggle so much with self esteem.....that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.....I could have just kissed that gal...LOL

    So..now for the poll.......which celebrity/famous person do you most look like and/or who would you most like to look like?

    I know everyone is their own person and that's what makes them beautiful...and believe me....all of you here are beautiful!!!! I just thought it might be fun.....join in if ya' like.....

    Luv
    Round


  • Oh I just wanted to add something on the other end of the spectrum...kind of peeved me!!!! A different gal at work accused me of not eating...she's all like "well...you probably aren't eating and that's why you passed out". Geesh....some people just know how to beat ya down when you're already feeling bad to begin with. I assured her that I DO eat and that she was very wrong to say that.....errrrrrr....that's how ugly rumors get started. I'm sure everyone at work thinks I'm anorexic now or something. Anyways....as you can see....we have very sweet people at work and then some not so sweet people...yeeek.
    hugs,
    round'
  • Someone once told me Traci Lords. Miss Denise will have to tell you who I look like. I think she looks like Dana Delaney.

    Oh & because of this new medication I am on, I am in the bathroom 10 times/day & a few weeks ago I was vomiting & had to call into work.

    Now there is a rumor going around that I'm pregnant.
  • Well when I was thinner it was Mira Sorvino or Meg Ryan. Hmmmmm...I WILL look like them again!
  • I don't think I've ever been accused of looking like any famous person, well... besides Angelina Jolie of course, but I'm sure all of us luscious fat chicks have been likened to her at one point or another, right?? Oh wait, was that just wishful thinking on my part?? Oops, sorry!

    Geez, how rude of your co-worker! You're right, that's precisely how nasty rumors get started, as if you needed even more to contend with! Some people! My dad did kind of the same thing at a family Thanksgiving dinner a few years back. It was right after I had reached my goal and he hadn't seen me in a while, so of course, he proceeded to blurt out, "OMG, you're anorexic!" right in front of all of my morbidly obese family members who were already skeptical enough about me doing this on my own. Nice, huh? Dads... what're you gonna do??

  • Geez, the only famous people I've been compared to are Liv Tyler (when I was about 15) and Pocahontas! There aren't many 6'1" Native American women celebrities out there. But I would LOVE to look like Catherine Zeta-Jones!!
  • I don't really think I look like any celebrity but I have one friend who swears I look like Jann Arden.

  • Lol, I was told alot when i was younger that i looked like the oldest sister on full house Candace Cameron, but my mom still thinks i look alot like her just a bit chunkier lol...

  • In my thinner days, I was told I looked like Glen Close.
  • My daughter once told me I looked something like Kathy Bates. At the time, that didn't strike me as a compliment. Some of the roles I had seen her in ~ she didn't look very attractive. I know my daughter didn't mean it in a mean way. I think she thought it was a compliment because the lady was a famous actress.

    When I have thought somebody looked like a famous person, that made me not know whether to mention it to that person or not. What if they did not think it was a compliment to be likened to that person?

    One of my patients at work right now ~ looks just like Jessica Tandy (Miss Daisy) ~ so much so, that several other of my coworkers think so too ~ somebody else told her ~ I was hesitant to.
  • I get told all the time I look like Christina Ricci but I would LOVE to look like Angelina Jolie.

    Same here! I had someone tell me I looked like Bette Midler in,somewhere around the 80's when she was heavier.I was like because back then,I didn't think she was all that attractive...and I was only in my teens.hmm...must be the nose though now that I look at her picture.I wouldn't mind looking like her now.
