Think Oprah has given up?

[Carrie_C 9]

My question is why is everyone SO surprised that she gained weight back? Hasn't she done this her entire life? Why all the surprise now? Everytime I turn on th tv, someone is mentioning how she's up to 200 pounds, like it's never happened before.

Well I'm not surprised.... does that count? :wink:

So, I'm confused... Kirstie Alley had WLS?

I don't think it's surprise so much as amazement that with a doc hanging on her coat tails all the time, a personal trainer and chefs, she still can't keep it off. As for why I started this thread, I was annoyed with Oprah's attitude towards WLS considering how she herself failed time and time again.

I hadn't heard Kirsty Alley had WLS. I thought she did the Jenny Craig diet.

Me too. Last I heard that since finishing with Jenny Craig she was planning to develop her own weight loss program for people to follow.

[Donna113 2]

If she followed Jenny Craig and lost, how can she create her own weight loss program and claim it works? I'd think Jenny might have something to say about that!

Here is an article on it...it explains it better than I could. Apparently she has Jenny Craigs blessing. Kirstie Alley Launching Her Own 'Weight-Loss Brand' - Bodywatch, Kirstie Alley : People.com

No offense, but if Kirstie wants to start her own weight loss brand, shouldn't she start using it now and lose some weight before she trys to sell it? Just a suggestion...

[Donna113 2]

Has Kirstie gained back the weight she lost on JC? I haven't seen any pics of her recently.

[Jodi_620 37]

Last time I saw her she looked pretty good.

[Carrie_C 9]

The last picture I saw of her was a few weeks ago and she looked like she had gained it all back plus more.

Kirstie or Oprah?

I don't know why Oprah doesn't just get WLS. I can't believe anyone would choose to yo yo diet as long as she has and not look for an alternative.

[Carrie_C 9]

I was talking about Kirstie. She had gained it all back last I heard. I was trying to find some pictures, but I haven't been able to find any yet.

She hasn't had WLS, but she has "hated" on some folks who have. Knowing how she's struggled, you'd think if she couldn't muster some sympathy, then she could at least keep her big yap shut.

I didn't know that about her but I did know she was planning to open her own WL center and when I heard that, I laughed and laughed. Does that make me mean? :blushing:

Yes. Yes it does. Welcome to the club.
