What do you look like?

[Janet]

Alright, here is my ugly mug...you have my permission to frame it and put it under the sink...................

[Amber_lv]

Shut up you are beautiful! And you have amazing blue eyes!

[Janet]

Those are my daddy's eyes, but thank you very much...

Doesn't it sound weird for a 51 year old to say "daddy"? Anywho....I lost him when I was 19 and I look a lot like him.

[Janet]

You guys stop it and stop it this instance...I'm sitting here crying like a big baby..lets look at someone else's picture now!!

[Marilyn]

Okay, here goes. Hope this works. Janet, you are beautiful, and you look like you could be a member or our family.

[Janet]

What a beautiful setting for a picture. You are very pretty! Once I go to Weight Watchers and get an awesome bod then I'll post a body shot. Don't look for it any time soon...lol You do look like you could be my much younger sister or cousin.

Marilyn and Janet, you are BOTH SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Your kind souls definately reflect in your beautiful pictures.

[rivermom]

My gosh Janet, you are lovely! You are just too darn hard on yourself. I think you have the warmest prettiest eyes ever!!

Gosh girl, you have the most beautiful blue eyes!! Don't be so hard on yourself, you are lovely!!!!

[Janet]

You ladies are just too awesome for words. Marilyn, did you put your age in here somewhere? There is no way you are old than I am!!! I don't mind getting older, I just hate the way I look. Maybe I would feel better about it all if I was thinner, so I'm going to give it my best effort. I don't see why you are not handling it very well...you're so pretty....I'm going to check again and see how old you are.

[Janet]

Okay Marilyn, I just went and looked. I was born in March of '55. You are one year or less older than me, but you look so young!!!! How do you do it? I honestly thought by your picture you were in your 30's at most. If I were you I sure wouldn't worry about it any longer!!!! You look great!

[Marilyn]

Janet, you revealed my age in an open forum!! I pm'd you!! It's okay, I'll forgive

Hey, clean livin' plus in my job I have to look good. I sell valves to men.

Actually, I try to take care of myself because cancer, heart disease & alzheimers all run in my family big time. My father had his first heart attach at 52. My cholesterol was up for a while, but I was able to get it down by modifying my diet. Several of my cousins have passed away from cancer. I've had a few cancer scares myself, as a result, have had a total hysterectomy and breast lump removed. I see my oncologist again next week. I don't have cancer, they are just making sure I don't get it. I just heard on the radio today that a study was completed that shows that women who workout regularly are 26% less likely to get breast cancer. Working out supresses the production of estrogen which they believe is a leading factor in breast cancer. I'm fortunate that we have a very nice gym not far from our home, and it only snows here about every 10 years or so. No problem getting there. It's a little expensive, but hey if it helps us live longer, healthier, what's a few extra dollars a month?

I know this is long, an may be in the wrong thread, but oh well, it's late & I'm too tired to edit.

I am so sorry, but I checked out the "Introduction Quiz" forum and found out before you PM's me. I feel so bad! But you look great.

You're doing all the right things. I wish, with my family history I would be more motivated. My father died of his first heart attack at the age of 60. My older sister died of cancer 3 days before her 40th birthday in '81. My older brother has had 3 heart attacks and he has congestive heart failure at 59. Not a good track record for my younger brother and myself.

I'm hoping once I go to Weight Watchers tomorrow that I will like it and that it will help me. I've tried everything else and I'm praying this works. I am also getting back on the treadmill. I'm starting that on Friday. I know I should start today, but I've always had to gear myself up, so please wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
