has anyone seen the article in the daily mail today about pauline quirke, well done on her for losing weight but I thought she looked a little ill in the pics

[ummmm]

It doesn't suit her. Or maybe we're just use to her over weight.

Articles like this annoy me, says she has lost seven stone, which would take her down to 12 stone - then goes on to say she is under 8 stone.

Well done to her though as you say she has lost a lot from her face.

[cazzz1975]

yes I thought that, maybe we are just not used to the new her

[anneasquith]

she did say she felt healthier, so thats good .

[ummmm]

I just showed Jay....he picked the thinner person. He didn't know they were the same person though.

[Prudie]

Yes, unfortunately one of the pros of being overweight is it keeps the face puffed and wrinkle free. Once the fat's gone the wrinkles show up and it can be ageing.

I think she looks good, just not like Pauline.
Can't see where it says she is under 8 stone. She has lost 7 stone and wants to lose a total of 8 and a half stone.

The author of the article says she is under 8 stone, so Pauline has lost the equivalent of a person her size.

They seem to have printed a photograph of Ken Dodd by mistake.

Sorry, I misread it.

wait till it goes back on - thats a bummer - she does look different - i saw her on Emmerdale the other week & said to the wife she( P Q ) lost weight, she didn't really notice as she is a regular watcher (not weight) :-)

[cazzz1975]

mind you I thought the same about fern britton, now I am used to her slimmer look and think she looks fine

[cazzz1975]

im not a big fan of these crash diets (lighterlife) I hope she manages to keep the weight off once she starts eating normal food

I lost 5 stone when in hospital for 12 weeks with transplant (nearly died then had to learn to walk again- I was very stubborn), but have since put 4 back on-agree with Cazzz,Pauline looks different-hope she keeps it off, or only puts stone back on-its hard when you eat properly (or eat at all in my case) to keep it off. I'm still not very mobile-which is my problem... hope when she leaves emmerdale she stays active

[mickrog]

i know you put it back on bagpuss but know you are not well.....plus jaffa cakes..lol

[bagpuss63]

Shut up mickrog-I have excuse-and lost 8lb since last clinic day anyway-you haven't hee hee

[riptide]

She looks fantastic, well done Pauline, it must have been very hard for her with a family to feed. Shame all the other fat people do not follow her example.

[whiskeysheri]

I lost five stone a few years back now and people still say I look gaunt! I'm a size 10; I think it's just what people get used to. It probably is more noticeable with age, though.

[missprim]

The only problem when losing all this weight is you are left with saggy skin, I know this 'cos I've seen it on those TV progs, so has Pauline and Fern etc had to have tummy tucks etc? It's ok for them as they can afford it but some of us can't. Even with excercise I think the skin will still look saggy.

[vodkancoke]

She looks amazing. I tried Lighterlife and couldn't do it so I applaud her for it. If she puts it back on again, so what? She is only human!

[funnygirl]

Have you seen her on Family Fortunes, she is gaunt!
I think she mayhave overdone it.
