<p>I am the same height & basic body type/facial structure as Cyndi Lauper but my hair ( red blond)doesn’t change as much & she is thinner. Plus I am from Seattle, I don’t have an accent- although some people think I am from the UK/European. 
</p>
<p>That’s great news, Thumper! Doesn’t it feel good to slide those pants on and feel them button in place (without having to fold over unwanted body parts, lol.)?</p>
<p>I have NO idea who I might look like! Hmmm…</p>
<p>Finally broke through my plateau! Have been hanging at -21/-23 for two months, and now at -26.</p>
<p>When I saw y’all 26S, I thought maybe there was a new source for plus-sized clothing I should investigate. Oh well!</p>
<p>I am officially an apple, but I think I resemble Big Bird. It’s all in the middle. Not much cleavage, no butt, no hips, skinny legs, big bones. Have been like that since I was 11, even in the days when I was height/weight proportionate.</p>
<p>Best appetite suppressor… is your DH reading an MSNBC article titled “Weapons of Mouse Destruction” as you eat breakfast. :eek:</p>
<p>My H’s former boss thought that I looked like Meryl Streep. I dunno about that one…</p>
<p>So, CountingDown, does that mean the Big Bird is the celebrity that you most resemble? </p>
<p>And congratulations on the breakthrough!</p>
<p>

<p>She played Bob Newhart’s wife! don’t you remember her saying, “Bob” in that patient tone of voice?</p>
<p>I am having a hard time keeping up with what is on this thread and what is on Dressing Young.
J Crew cords-For those who have bought them recently, Is the sizing the same as in their jeans?
I bought a pair of GAP jeans last spring at the advise of someone on one of the other threads. I have been pleased with the quality of the denim and I like the fit of the style I purchased. They are not old lady jeans but they also don’t show my butt. I need to order a pair down a size from what I am wearing. The butt is getting baggy.
I am fitting comfortably into a pair of jeans that I used to reserve for evenings out with my Dressing Young friends. Meaning they were pretty skinny and tight fitting. Now they fit like regular jeans. I have reached the end of my low sized jeans in my closet. For the first time in years I have made the decision to get rid of all the pairs that are now too large. I am making the committment to not let myself slowly put on those extra 5 lbs each year.</p>
<p>LOL, Mom60. This reminds of when my friends get together and there are eight different conversations going on at one time!</p>
<p>I know. We are mixing threads, and I am one of the prime culprits. I will speak strictly to myself, and try to eat more lettuce today:).</p>
<p>Well, Bunsen, then I think you and Gourmetmom might resemble each other - although Meryl is so versatile that even her face seems to change depending on whom she is playing. </p>
<p>Me - I have been told that I remind people of much shorter (5’6") Geena Davis (I don’t have her smile- ooh maybe when the braces come off!!). It’s those high and wide chubby cheeks.</p>
<p>I also used to be told Hayley Mills. When I was young. Lord knows now, but my photo is easily obtainable due to my blog.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This needs to be thrown down on the CC best one-liner thread.</p>
<p>Haley Mills and Natalie Woodhave a lot of Doppelgangers.</p>
<p>I’m a pear. I tend to look like a weigh less than I do since I’m not very busty and my face is long and narrow. Turned up nose and freckles. My hair is auburn and wavy. I have no idea what celebrity I might look like. </p>
<p>(I can’t believe I’d typed pair for pear and hear for hair the first time round - how weird is that?)</p>
<p>Mathmom,</p>
<p>You sound as if you look like Genevieve Bujold. Auburn hair. Lucky you.</p>
<p>EPTR – yellow is not a good color on me. :)</p>
<p>I wish I looked like Genevieve Bujold! I don’t have her big eyes, pouty lips or pixie shaped face. More like Sigourney Weaver.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I suspect it is because we both are half Asian…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or even 2 pounds/year. When I think about it, that is how I slowly went from being slim to dumpy. I think staying on point is a different challenge than losing weight. Because I have been at my target weight (actually it is lower than my original target - I had given up on ever getting back to this weight) for about six months, I have started to reintroduce some foods I had essentially abandoned. Crackers, for example. I know I have to careful, however, because it is easy to buy a box and discover the whole thing disappears in a day or two. Well, not disappear really, just relocate to my body. So, I need to remember that a serving is fine, but if need be, just pitch the rest of the box after we entertain.</p>
