Hi shoegirl... I am going to try the trimspra contest.. Is anyone else going to do the contest too??? we need to keep track of each other.. so let us know if you are doing it too.. Why is everyone dishing Anna Nicole Smith??? She has lost alot of weight, and if you look at her now.. she is starting to exercise.. She is very pretty now.. a little too thin,, but who wouldnt want people to tell them that they are too thin??? rather than too fat.. As to the way she acts.. to each his own.. not everyone is the same.. Evidently she is doing something right, because she looks really great and has lots of money..
I sure would like that..

Yep...she's doing something right, alright.

Taking advantage of a rich, lonely old man...making most of her money by taking off her clothes (Playboy centerfold and videos-plus being a stripper in her younger years), her tv show where all she did was get paid to make a complete fool of herself...and now signing a contract with a diet pill company-my guess is that Trimspa "chose" her because her weight problem is very public-and her motivation to lose that weight was a big load of cash. The only "real" modeling contract she had that was worth anything was with Guess Jeans...and she screwed that up years ago.
Yep...I could have a lot of money too...if I threw all my self respect out the window as she has done.

Anna Nicole Smith in one word: BIMBO - although that might be considered an insult to all the other bimbos out there...

I did watch a couple episodes of her E! show...she does have a pretty face once a professional makeup artist spends an hour on it. Without makeup she just looks like worn out trailer trash.

And her 'presentation appearance' recently on the music awards show (I think it was the Billboard Awards - didn't watch the show, but caught her 'wasted out of her mind' um, performance on the news SEVERAL times the next day) didn't exactly make me think any more highly of her...not to mention her public accusation of accusing the judge of taking a bribe when her $88M judgement was recently overturned by the Court of Appeals...yeah, that's real classy...NOT.

ANS is definitely a train wreck...it doesn't surprise me in the least that a scuzzy diet pill company would use her as their spokesperson...any publicity is good publicity I suppose!

Sorry but Anna Nicole couldn't formulate a coherent, drugless thought if she really tried. Her drugged out, classless behavior is WAY over the top! Her whole persona and rumors of gastric bypass alone doesn't make me ever want to try Trimspa. Never mind the fact that it doesn't work.

You may have your opinion.. but like i said everyone is different and that is what makes the world go around.. but to dish someone you dont even know.. most people who put other people down is just jealous of them and I guess maybe it makes them feel better about themselves by doing it.. Does it matter how she lost the weight.. that is why there are so many kinds of diets people are on and each one of them think that their diet is better than the others.. but what counts is that the weight is off and hopefully she will eat healthy to keep it off.. but like i said everyone is different and chooses the way they live, and act but that is their choice.. and i still think she looks great.. and I would still love to look like her.. she maybe kooky but that is just her and her personalilty ... more power to her, and everyone else on the diet of their choice..and hopefully everyone will succeed..

Well, you know, that's the price people pay to be a 'celebrity'...no one is forcing her to go out in public and act like an idiot.

JEALOUS? ANS is the LAST person in the world I would be envious of (despite the TrimSpa slogan "be envied"). I'm not putting her down, I'm stating facts, as is Aphil. Even if I looked like Quasimodo, I'd still rather be Quasimodo than ANS.

Actually, YES, I think it DOES matter how she lost the weight. If she was being private about it, that would be one thing, but she's definitely what I would call an AH (Attention Ho). Kooky is a term I would give to people like Carol Burnett, Goldie Hawn, etc., but I wouldn't call ANS 'kooky' any more than I would call any other brainless druggie 'kooky'.

And I think I can safely say that MY diet is better than her diet - which according to her interview on Larry King, consisted of eating basically nothing all day, and not exercising. (hmmm sounds like a druggie to me...)

'Nuff said about ANS...

Just as an aside...you and shoegirl ought to hook up, since coincidentally you're both store owners who live in OK according to your profiles.

like I said everyone has their own opinion, and to each his own.. but you say you are not putting her down,, calling her an attenion ho, isn't?????hmmmm.
when people put other people down, it is usually cause they are jealous or envious of that person, to make them feel better about themselves.. I was just asking why everyone is so hard on her..gheeeezee..you may think one thing and I may think another,, but that is your choice and mine.. you sure know alot about her and what she has done... to totally despise her.. I think everyone is equal and shouldnt put other people down..when you dont even know them... you sure put it to people hatefully..great Attitude sure makes a person beautiful inside and out..... I did look at your profile too and your picture looks great..very pretty, congrads on your weightloss... weight watchers???

Well...for me-the reason I know so much about ANS is because every time I turn on the freakin' tv.

As far as "being envious or jealous of her" and that being why someone puts her down...NOPE. Here are the women I am envious/jealous of...and would like to be more like:

~Carolena of Fat Chance Belly Dance~
She is a one woman business owner who popularaized her own version of belly dance and costuming-called American Tribal Style. (www.fcbd.com)

~Dalia Carella~ She has made her own style of belly dance as well, called Dunyavi Gypsy-utilizing many dance forms taken from Turkish Rom (Gypsy) influences, as well as Indian influences. I had the wonderful opportunity this past fall of studying with her and performing in a show that she was also in. (www.daliacarella.com)

~Trisha Biggars~ She is the costume designer for the newer Star Wars movies and does some astounding costume design-I have also had the priviledge of taking a costume seminar with her, and seeing her astounding work in person.

These are just a few...I also admire my mother greatly-who is a survivor of living with an alcaholic/physical and mental abuser. She has turned her life around-went back to school as an adult and is now a nurse.

I also admire actresses who have self respect and pride in themselves...and don't have to act like bimbos or take their clothes off to get attention. I like and admire women who are beautiful-but use their talents and intelligence rather than their looks to get where they want to go.

Sure-I can use my boobs to get what I want, but I would rather use my brain and abilities.

I also find it interesting that fribbit and shoegirl are both from Oklahoma...both joined 3FC this month...both are ONLY posting on the Trimspa thread...and promoting the Trimspa contest that was never mentioned here before now...and both are store/boutique owners in their profiles. Wow...that is one HECK of a coincidence, let me tell you.

It sure and the heck matters how ANS lost her weight! I'm willing to bet a months' salary it wasn't from Trimspa OR exercise!

Obese folks are vunerable to rapid weight loss product scams that don't work. I'm tired of seeing these scams profit off of the millions of desparate people that are willing to try anything to lose weight. Anna Nicole has no morals or scrupples whatsoever. She doesn't give a rat's behind about the health and well being of obese people. All she cares about is a quick buck in order to buy more drugs to stick up her nose. I sincerely hope she gets help for her blatant chemical dependecy problem.

My initial feeling was that she either hired a special trainer/cook/etc to lose the weight or she got WLS. As far as she being too thin? That is a pretty funny statement as I think she is still chunky but that is alright for someone to be a bit chunky. I happened to see one of the Trimspa commercials, they look pretty sleazy, when she says something like "like my body?" I can't help but think she is scummy. It is sad for these companies to prey on people who are looking for real solutions to weight loss.

ANS annoys me. I don't think she used trimspa to lose that weight (since she lost it so quickly). I also don't believe that exercise alone was the miracle for her either. I believe that she has surgery and drugs (not legal). But thats my own thoughts no proof or anything to back that up. The reason I think is because she was SOOO big and went so small SO fast and there is no saggy baggy skin that a lot of people seem to get when they lose lots of weight naturally.

aphil---You call yourself a moderator????? what kind of site is this.. I thought maybe this was a site to help people with weight loss..no matter what kind of diet you are on.. I thought this was a site for support,, not name calling or putting other people down.. I thought this was a site that supports people...

so stupid is stamped on your forehead????? I got on this site and pulled up the search on trimspa.. come upon this thread.. and shoegirl posted and wondered if anyone was going to do the contest.. That is when I responded on the site about trimspa and the contest.. I am not promoting any contest.. was inquiring if anyone else is entering it.. and yes I thought that was cool that shoegirl too was from oklahoma and a store owner too, that is why I private messaged her too.. let me tell you something I wanted to try trimspa.. that is my choice I have done weight watchers and have lost 69 lbs on it.. It does work.. but i am getting burned out on it, so thought a change and a challenge would do me good.. there is nothing wrong with that.. I will not defend myself to someone that thinks she is soooo (suposably) knowledgable about weight loss issues, seems to have one herself.....hmmmmmmmmmm... lets see I find it INTERESTING that 2001 became a member of this group..but has only lost 47lbs since then..hmmmmm...4 years...(I dont think the belly dancing is working..i would find another weight loss diet..) maybe a change is due!!!!!!!!! or practice what you preach..Maybe you shouldnt judge people that you dont know.. maybe you should look in the mirror first..
