Yeah, me too. How are you supposed to diet with all the bowl games on? No beer, chips or pizza? Pleeease.

consumer reports had an interesting article on all these diet ads on tv, in magazines etc. apparently these people are in many cases supplied with personal trainers and other means (in some cases gastric bypass surgery) to get their results.

Makes me wonder if Kirstie Allie really had gastric bypass :idontno: instead of calling "Jenny."

I think she'd have lost a lot more weight by now with gastric bypass surgery. Regardless, I don't think I could find her commercials any more annoying. I don't know about celebrities and weight loss plans - seems to me that it's got to be a whole lot easier when you can hire personal trainers and people to cook for you.

Same here! Kirstie Alley is so annoyingly tacky. But I like the way her figure is, as opposed to when she was on "Cheers." She was too skinny back then and even though she's probably still a good size 14 or so now (even with "jenny") it suits her. Despite the constant barrage of commercials claiming you have to be a bitty size 4 to be happy, it doesn't work for the most of us.

I hate the commercial that say's "I went from a size 10 to a size 4" FTLOG..WTH is wrong with being a size 10????? Put some meat your bones girlfriend....It just makes me sick to think that a size 10 is not good enough. What are they teaching the young girls that are watching these commercials????

Here, here! That's what my husband always says to me--if you had a trainer coming to your house every day and someone cooking all your meals, you'd have to lose weight and be in shape!

Well, especially considering that the average size of the American woman is 14. At least, it has been for years, haven't seen any really current stats. So, you have a woman who's smaller than the average woman advocating getting even smaller.

If the camera really "adds" ten pounds, are these people invisible in real life???? Go on a cruise...you can even let your tummy out!!!

I always enjoy watching the commercials for the various contraptions they are selling. My favorite is this thing shaped like a stick that you shake back and forth for exercise. :floor: WTH?

I'm dying of hunger right now. Having visions of pumpkin pie and lots of bacon. I probably won't make it until dinner.

Oh Jdarg! I will never see pumpkin pie again without thinking of you!!
Again, if you like bacon, try some of the recipes in "Sweet Potato Queens Big A$$ Cookbook". Lots of bacon recipes!
