720.0. "Cher's Forever Fit Book" by DPDMAI::HUDDLESTON () Mon Feb 17 1992 14:41

    Just a side note re: Cher's new book "Forever Fit".  I know, I know. 
    She's skinny.  But the book is good.  The first day I started it (this
    past Saturday) I lost 3 pounds.  Its basically low salt, low fat, and
    complex carbo's.   Plus exercise.  I walk BEFORE I eat my lunch, and am
    kept full until dinner.
    
    
    Just wanted to share.

    You lost 3 lbs the first DAY?  WOW.
    
    As long as she doesn't recommend everyone get their lower 2 ribs
    removed like she did so she could change the shape of her body ;-)
    
    Sounds great

    I thought that was Jane Fonda who got the rib removed.  What ever. 
    Thats rather drastic if you as me.

    Rumour had it that Cher did this, but her doctor denied it - it would
    be bloody stupid after all.
720.4Still going strong!DPDMAI::HUDDLESTONWed Mar 04 1992 14:4820
    Well, I'm doing very well on this program.  So far I've lost 6 pounds,
    and next week will be the 1 month mark.  I hope to have a bit more off
    by then.  2-3 pounds is about the average amount you should lose per
    week, and for the most part I'm keeping up with that.  I have a
    compulsive eating problem thats pretty much under control, but its nice
    to know that if I go off the program a bit its not going to be
    disastrous.  I'm still on the schedule that I've set for myself.  I've
    always thought 2-3 pounds a week was too slow, but it seems to be just
    right for me.  By X-Mas I should be at my goal weight, and its just
    slow enough to not scare me.  I don't know why I get scared when I
    start to lose too much weight all at once, but I do get that way
    never-the-less.  The slower/safer way seems to be working.  And of
    course I'm walking 1-2 miles a day.  When I stop doing that, I start
    maintaining the weight instead of losing.
    
    
    Gotta go,

RE: Cher's rib.

That's not true....crazy how rumors get started....

I don't think there's an operation to have a rib removed!!!

I saw an interview with Cher a while back and said denied the 
rib operation too.  I'd believe Cher before I believe and 
tabolid.
 
720.6Rebate coupon for CherFitness (tm)RANGER::PESENTIOnly messages can be draggedThu Apr 23 1992 14:0011
I hope I don't take a ribbing for changing the subject, but...

This morning I found a mail in rebate coupon for $5 on "Cher's NEW fitness 
video, CherFitness (tm)" in the bottom of a box of Equal.  TO get the $5, you
need the proof of purchase seal and the cash register tape.

If anyone wants this coupon, send e-mail to RANGER::PESENTI.

Don't reply here, though.

720.8I think this is more rumor than factMILKWY::ZARLENGAany dead poet will doMon Jun 01 1992 02:333
    Where did you read that?
    
    Removing a rib (from each side!) is not minor surgery, by the way.

    Downright dangerous, too.

    What was the reason for her removing a rib?  I can't imagine what kind
    of quack doctor would do that just for a better figure....this a very
    dangerous operation.
