Then and now, pt. 2

Abbe Buck (Abbe Buck, PR/highviz.net) goes from 367 to 207 - 212 and may be still going (I hope so! Just hit that BAD age!)

Then.

Now.

............
REF: These are headshots, but they show a 150 pound difference. It's almost funny. I am still me, I just feel better. I can use some plastic surgery, I hate menopause (wouldn't you?) But hell, I am not a diabetic, not in a wheelchair, do not need a knee replacement right away and am NOT dead at 52. OBESITY, MASSIVE OBESITY KILLS.

No, I did not have surgery. I did once, in 1985 and gained all of the weight back when I became pregnant (a license to eat addictively). This time around I (starting Nov. 11, 2005  and every single day), I treat certain foods like a drug or alcohol I had to put DOWN. If you would like to know more about my story, please e-mail me at highvizpr@yahoo.com. I will then lead you to www.radiantrecovery.org . That is where I go, plus another program or two. Plus books you may read, along with "Quit digging your grave with a knife and fork" (the '12 Stops') by Former Gov. Arkansas Mike Huckabee.

Thanks! (scroll down for more pictures)

Kirstie in on Oprah--not me...but I digress

http://showbiz.sky.com/kirsties-thin-vow 

Opinion: She will not make this lofty a goal. She, like me is at that certain age. And she does not have to kill herself. But maybe...just maybe...I want 20 lbs off by November, gal.

As for Jenny Craig. It was a great PR move and a damn good try but food addiction is food addiction any way you slice the pie (no pun intended!- or was it?)

Kirstie's Thin Vow

Kirstie Alley and Oprah Winfrey Kirstie Alley has embarked on a pretty hardcore diet incentive.

The actress has made a vow to get ripped by November.

And the brave lady made the ambitious promise on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

So there's no backing out now, Kirstie.

The Cheers actress revealed she has gained 75 pounds, but now plans to lose it to fit in a bikini.

She told Ope: "It's humiliating."

Referring to how she used to be a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, an American weight loss programme, she said: "The most painful thing for me is that I have all these people that I inspired and I let them down." 

Kirstie in her slimmer days

She added: "When you're a spokesperson for a weight loss company... somebody weighs you every week. It's pressure, but it's good pressure.

"I do better if I have some pressure on me. When I didn't have that anymore... I just said 'I'm going to cut myself some slack.' Big mistake."

The 58-year-old revealed negative feedback she has had from the media: "This (paparazzi) said to me 'Fat ass, turn around so I can shoot you.'"

Nasty.

But on the bright side, Kirstie is planning to get in shape again and is working on her own weight loss line.

She told Oprah: "By November, I have to look ripped."
