Bluesky,
I've talked to you before via MMH's message system...remember me? Did you ever try Oslin?

I remember you, it's been awhile. Haven't been to Dr Oslin. Consulted with Guyuron but he had different ideas about my nose than I do. I really think I need a premaxillary implant so I am currently researching drs that have experience in that area.

She doesn't look healthy at the weight she is at now....she may be healthy now because she is young..but, if she doesn't lose the weight she will most likely have health issues down the road.

I don't believe that she is at a healthy weight.

Hmm, I tend to agree w/ the tone of the article and most of the comments IF this situation actually went down as the rags said it did, I could easily see this being "reported" to sell magazines/newspapers/stories/whatever.

165 lbs. does not sound too terribly bad to me depending on how tall she is and ol' girl looked like she might have been topping that before. No disrespect to those at or over 200, that's just what I was assuming as a starting point when she was heavier but you really can't guess someone's weight by looking at them, nor is weight the be all and end all of a person's health, etc. but BMI isn't perfect, either.

Statistically you're absolutely right, but individually it can vary a lot. What's interesting in this case is that Adele is looking better (to some) and feeling better (the latter based on statements that she's made herself about not being ill anymore) but has also said she's not interested in any more weight loss, nor, apparently, any advice about it.

I think that's perfectly reasonable (It's her body, her life, etc.) and when someone makes that sort of statement you need to honor it regardless of your personal opinion. On the other hand, when you're a celebrity you open yourself up to a sometimes unwelcome level of scrutiny. Personally I think she looks great and doesn't change her look to be more appealing to the masses, as that's part of her appeal to some folks, IMO, but I could see her caving to the pressure and doing the same as Hudson, who used to say that she loved her shape, etc. etc etc. too, before her weight loss.

The other issue that the article brings up about Hudson Weight Watching her...I can't help but wonder whether that's a real issue or something drummed up by the tabloids to make news out of non "news."

Yikes!!

Really? I think there's a dramatic difference between the pics of her in the black dress at the awards show vs. the pic Anastasia posted and some of the other older pics that (I think) Laura and/or Nancy posted.


I'll take the beer, though:)

She does look like she lost quite a bit of weight. But the dress on her recent performance is very flattering, lots of pleats which makes the waist look slimmer, so it's hard to see her actual body shape. I am not sure how tall she is, but I've seen articles that say she's 5'8"-5'9". Not sure if that's true but 165 lbs at that height, above average for women.. is not that bad. I think many celebs lie about their weight & height thou. If she is really that tall, I think 165 wouldn't look so plump. She looks much better than before of course, but still looks overweight.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I always thought that extra weight on a singer helps the resonance or tonality of their voice--something like that.
For example, in opera, the baritone males are large. Think Pavarotti. So are some of the major female singers in the performance. There is some kind of relationship to size and voice range and in some circumstances (like in opera), large size is beneficial.
