A plea to parts of my body that I'd like to see reduced.
I'm trying to lose 30 lbs. so I can revert to my college weight. I need some good vibes, peeps. Send them my way, okay?

My plea:

Thighs - we have been through much together. How many a bike have we ridden? A mile we have run? Please shed that extra on the back end, okay?

Buttocks - I hate Jennifer Lopez. Let's be a little less like her, okay?

Hips - nice 'n round but my gods do I want to fit into my jeans! Shrink down a bit, okay?

Bust and stomach - stay the same, okay? Don't change!

2. Well,
Good luck on that...:) I hope you reach your goals, but in my experience, I have yelled at my gut to lose weight, and shape up, but it usually doesn't listen....:silly:

5. Well I've been punishing them for their indiscretion.
How dare they grow in size! I started cycling and am getting back to doing weights. I'll teach them a lesson! ;)

3. One of the things you don't mention are legs, and I REALLY hate mine
I can't seem to get them toned to the point where they look like normal legs at all....I refuse to wear shorts in the summer because of it

12. I LOVE to run, but my I have bad knees.
Hey - would your dog enjoy a walk by bike? I heard Huskies need lots of exercise.

13. I tried biking with him last spring
but I'd had him for only a couple of months and he was still pretty uncontrollable, making for bad biking.

I'll try again tomorrow. He's way better now. What a great dog! And yes, he needs LOTS of exercise.

23. Have you seen leashes that attach to bike seat posts?
I have seen dogs trotting along next to bikes, held a safe distance from the spokes, using this type of leash- there is a video here on the "walkydog" website.

18. I'm lost on your message, sorry, no intent of harm here
I don't care to look like a model of anyone. I need to lose weight but for my health. Are you really 30 lbs overweight, or just want to look skanky or thin?

22. Hi There
I have seen many of the female persuasion think they need to lose 30 lbs, but didn't really need to do so. Sorry if my message offended you, but truly, many young females (obviously, I am not) feel the need to be thin because they see Paris Hilton and other Hollywood stars.

24. Might Add
Diane Keaton was the model in my college days, but I never wanted to look like her, but I liked the Annie Hall look, which is back in fashion. I had upper body parts, just wanted fashion makers to fit their clothes to folks like me. They sort of listened then, but don't today. Sh**ty

25. i gotcha
i understand and agree with what you are saying, i just thought it was funny the way it was written.

one example that comes to mind is Thora Birch. in my opinion she has always looked great. some people may say she was chunky, but i thought she looked very natural and attractive. now she is blonde and extremely thin and it just looks weird. Hollywood messes people up that way i think.
