A classic example of those baffling celebrity clothes sizes. Five stone is not the difference between a size 16 and a 12, and she was not a size 16 when she started. I would judge that she has dropped from a size 20 to a 12/14.
So do I - and I don't understand all the comments like "I had to lose my weight the hard way" big frigging deal - who cares how someone loses weight, its not a competition!
I know. Although the cost of replacing the fat clothes won't be cheap.
Ama-a-zing as Craig would say.
Aww, me too. Though I am starting to lose weight. Though I wish she wouldn't have misled people about her band, I don't think it matters how she did it. Personally I wouldn't like to go down that route hence I'm trying to do it the old fashioned way, exercise and watching what I'm eating .
True, but I doubt she would have been comfortable doing strictly when she was a size 20.
I don't care what means people use to lose weight but I do think they should be honest about it. And Fern was marketing Riveta at the time so it was really bad that she lied and instead of being gracious about being found out, behaved in such a sneery way to the people she was supposed to be inspiring.
I've disliked her since then. Oh, and also when the papers were publishing bits of her autobiography...from the snippets I read, she came across as a bitter and unhappy woman and generally the total opposite of the "funny fat friend" stereotype she's made a living off for years.
She leaves me cold. Sorry.
So true, I thought there is no way she was a size 16 to start with.:eek:
When i lose weight every stone I lose I drop a dress size.
I would say Fern at her biggest was a 24/22.
I'm trying to convince hubby that £5000 is worth it
Fern was bigger than me when I was at my very largest and I was a size 20 at one point (which I sadly am again due to having a very bad year
Why do these silly celebs lie about their dress sizes? The only people they are fooling is themselves.
The "cheating" bit is only relevant because she was flogging Ryvita and promoting a healthy lifestyle at the same time. However, it's a personal choice if someone wants to get a band fitted. I do think she looks great.
I'm with you LilyRose. I'll always remember her speech on TV (next to a red-faced Philip Schofield) when she said "we girls like to have some secrets". What she meant was, she thought she'd got away with it and if she'd never been found out, we would have all believed her (and her old man's) claims about healthy eating etc.
So, "we girls like to have some secrets" and then a few weeks later she was absolutely interrogating Kerry Catona who was clearly very unstable and ill about her alcohol problems.
I know KC is not very popular but Fern, as a "girl" and as someone who is supposed to have depression and crashed a car while over the limit, could have shown her some sympathy. That was a very painful interview and Fern was very cruel to allow it to continue as she did.
My guess is she's had further surgery on her underarms and chin, because there's no way all that amount of loose skin could just tighten up again following such a big weight loss. Especially in a woman of her age.
Remember, she's been off our screens for a long time (supposedly because she wanted to see her sons through their GCSE's
If you look at pics of her the summer after she had her op when she was wandering around in a white linen mini-dress she had loads of loose skin then.
Having recently lost 3 1/2 stone I went from a size 16/18 to a size 10/12....Now I'm 5 ft 3 - from 13 stone 10 to 10 stone....I'm unsure of Fern's height but isn't it possible? So if she lost 2 more stone than me surely she could have gone down to that size?
I do definitely agree she was never a size 16 when she started dieting though. 18/20 I would assume....
However..... there is no way she was a size 16 before her op!! And frankly what plastic surgeon would give a size 16 woman and Gastric Band? Even privately?
You do know you have to do that even if you have a gastric band? It is meant to do 30% of the work for you.
I used to work in a pharmacy and Fern would often drop in with prescriptions and I don't like hearing anything about her. I've chatted with her loads of times and she is a truly lovely lady,
She was lovely looking larger and lovely looking slimmer.
Her weight has never affected her personality.
Why lie? You've lost the weight now - surely saying you were bigger than you were would make the weight loss more impressive?
