Wow, Wyonna lost 60 lbs and told Oprah that she talked to God when she lost her weight......Meditative walking.......

Well, shes kinda been thru hell in the last few years, so if she can lose that much under unbearable stress, theres a chance for all of us..

    I saw the episode and to be honest. She didn't look like she lost that much. She looked very uncomfortable in her seat, like she had on the tightest Body Sculpting Girdle, they could get her in. Now, I'm not one to follow her, so I don't know what she really looked like, but just looking at her face and neck, she didn't look much different than her "fat pics".

    Maybe I was just Seeing too much, But it looked like she was having trouble breathing when she first sat down across from Ophrah and she even said... "i'm nervous, I have to calm myself down" :huh: Isn't this an Entertainer that has performed for years and years live!

    Just my .02

    BTW, I do believe people can achieve a loss of 60 lbs. walking and healthier eating. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks for posting. I've always been a fan of Wynona's and found a new respect for her after reading her biography a few years back.
    I've also found that talking to God while I walk has been very productive at reducing stress. I love to walk at a local state park but there aren't always other people around. More so a safety measure than anything else, I quit listening to my Ipod when I go there to walk so I can hear approaching cars and people can't sneak up behind me. I've found talking to God while on these walks is a lot more productive than thinking of all the things going on at home and work.

    Such a beautiful person and voice. She gets trashed all the time for her weight. Being overweight is hard enough, being over weight and in the media's viewfinder has made her a hero and pillar of strength in my eyse. I couldn't, wouldn't, subject myself to that.

    I kinda thought that 60 lbs would be a huge huge noticable change on anyone, especially her, but there is one photo of her where she is really big...........really really big

    then when I compared the 2, you can see where shes lost lots of it.........in the face, and in her waist

    again, maybe she put on ever more, then kinda went into seclusion, and then decided to take it off..........I think shes done great, but its pretty obvious that she needs to keep going

    I know that mother of hers has been after her for years, and shes not one to hold her tongue, but on one of Oprahs show, the sister and mother had an intervention and confronted Wynonna about her weight issures and the fact that she was close to dying......lots of drama to that show, esp from the mother...

    But hey, 60 lbs is 60 lbs.........Hope she stays on track.,like the rest of us as well...........Good Luck Lloyd

    I kinda thought that as well. It was like her boobs were in her throat. I thought she did look better than some of the "fat" pictures but still she looked uncomfortable as well.

    :laugh: Seriously.
    I've lost 80 pounds while talking major sh** to myself every time I wanted to stop exercising mid workout.

    I'm glad she's found something that works for her.

    She did look very uncomfortable sitting on the edge of her seat. She looks like she has lost weight for sure but maybe because she is a big girl (height,bones) you can't tell as much?

    Pooooor Wynona - STUFFED into multiple pairs of Spanx! Hey man - not judging - I am right there with her stuffing my fat into Spanx! Seriously - she looked like she couldnt sit AT ALL. How can you NOT do a "sit test" before appearing on National television??? I do a sit test whenever I buy a dress or pants for ANY occasion.

    My comment is one of concern for her and hoping she doesnt lose consciousness. I think it was mean of Oprah to not interview her standing up. The best interviewers make sure their guests can get air.
