Paula Dean's weightloss

She looks great! I read that she's 5'6.

My mom says 15 pounds is one dress size.
I've lost 31 and lost only one dress size, but all clothes are made differently as someone has said and I know the last 5 pounds I lost mainly in my legs, so...

I wonder how many lbs came out of her clogged arteries.

Ba-dump CHING!!! The old drum beat hits after the joke!!! LOL :laugh:

I bet she bleeds butter, lol...tut tut, I am kidding, I bet she found it harder to eat well than any of us.

I am 5'4" and I have lost about 40 pounds form my highest weight. I was almost too big for 20's and Old Navy XXL's now I am in 16's and 18's and 1 14 dress and no more 1X tops mostly XL and some L

It is weird how losing the same amount of weight as someone else doe not necessarly translate into the same size loss. But great job on your loss so far keep it up.

I don't like her for two reasons:

1. The way she treated her son when he wanted to start cooking healthy southern food. It was rude and done in a very public manner.
2. How's she's in deep with the Big Pharma

Congrats to her for losing the weight but I'm not a fan. There's so many other celebrity chefs to follow.

From Anthony Bourdain: She's "the most destructive person on the Food Network" and said in an interview: "She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. If I were on at seven at night and loved by millions of people at every age, I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."

This is addressed to the first lady who started the topic.
Are you doing any weight training? You might just need to do that to tone up and firm up. I've lost 37 lbs, but I've lost 8 pants sizes. I'm an Independent Beach Body Coach if you have any questions about using weights or exercises, and no I'm not trying to sell you something. I believe in paying it forward and helping people before the mighty buck Another coach helped me so I'm trying to reach out and help others. That is why I became a coach.

She looks like a size 10 to me, she's more of an apple shape like me. I wiegh 147 and wear a size 4.

I am so happy for PD losing 30 pounds. She says she has gone for a size 18 to a 10. I have also lost 30 pounds, and was at a size 18 as well, but I am still in that size range. I was wearing 1x-2x tops and am now in XL . I was in size 18W pants and can now wear my regular 18 misses or 16W's. Maybe it's my height at 5'2"? I have no clue how tall PD is. Thoughts?

I just Googled and it came up she is 5' 5"

Great! now maybe she'll come out with some kickin meals I can eat!!

Where are you shopping lol??

What's that supposed to mean? I am the same. I weigh 155 and wear a ladies 6 or a juniors 7. I'm pretty muscular.

She can say what she likes, I don't believe she got into a size 10 from a size 18 by losing 30 pounds. I've lost a grand total, here and off, of 50, and I went from an 24w to an 18w. And I lost 50 pounds!!! An 18 to a 10? That woman does not look like she's lost that much. She looks great, granted, but she's no size 10. :noway:

I agree! Jennifer Hudson was saying that she wears a size 0, NOT!

According to this, it's only six months post-diagnosis.

She knew for 3 years.

I agree. I find it very hard to believe that dropping 30 lbs. sent her from an 18 to a 10. However, I guess it's possible depending on the weight distribution. I have lost close to 40 lbs. from what I was last year at this time and am down four sizes. An 18 to a 10 would be 5 sizes technically, but it still seems odd to me that she would be that much. Of course, I believe a lot of people in the entertainment industry lie when it comes to these things. I remember when Kirstie Alley said she weighed 175 lbs. Yeah, right! Not in those photos and at that time. I recently read something that said she lost 100 lbs. on DWTS, so I guess that means she only weighs 75 lbs. now. Why aren't these celebrities honest? The rest of us know they are lying, and they make ordinary people feel that much worse. Way to go to all who are doing this on their own and being HONEST about their true weight loss!

Agree agree agree. Another thing he said "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later." 100% true.

This article also says 3 years.

Right and each size change is 10 pounds so she would be down 3 clothing sizes, not 5.
