I’m Rick James, Bitch!

Rick James, Teena Marie, and Morris Day will be in Dallas this month. What in the world? Big D isn’t ready for this concert! LOL I won’t be at that one…can you imagine the superfreaks that will be there?

My latest dilemma…wrote a song about it…like to hear it? here it goes…

UNTAMEDFIRE was kind enough to bring to my attention this weekend that she thinks I’m taller than 5’10”. She is close to that figure and I finally realized (after knowing her for 10 years…LOL) that I am indeed taller. The conversation also made me mentally compare my height to Kyle. He’s 6’4″…and isn’t that much taller than I am. I know you all are thinking:

Why does all this matter? What does this mean? Get to the point, heifer!

The last time I was officially measured was 9th grade…and the magic number was 5’10”. I’ve been listing that as my height for years. Well..I think I’m in the neighborhood of 6’0″ (all I can think about when I say that is the part in Deuce Bigalow…”that’s a BIG bitch!”). When people hear how much weight I have left to lose, they question where it’s all going to come from. I’m not slim by any means, but apparently I don’t look like I need to drop 40+ additional lbs.

The max healthy weight for 5’10” is 174 and I set my initial goal at 170 lbs. However, the max weight for 6’0″ is 184 lbs…14 lbs heavier than my goal. I have no plans to change my goal weight at this time, but I’ll definitely get measured at WW tomorrow. Height is a major factor in the weight loss game. The true test will be once I get under 200 lbs. I decided awhile ago that I’m not going to fight my body to get to 170. My doctor prefers 180 lbs. I also need to figure in the loss that will come with excess skin surgery. Good Lord, when did this get so complicated?

Anyway…I felt the need to share the height issue. I was actually worried about receiving negative feedback if I changed my goal weight. I know it sounds silly, but I’ve seen a few people get flamed for it. Like it’s a copout…or admitting failure, in a sense. Whatever. Baby Mama talked some sense into me this morning and all is well again. 🙂

So…tomorrow I’ll hopefully post a loss…and my new übermodel height. LOL

Until then…

Girl, I’d like to see some bitches leave negative feed back on your diary! They’ll have a hooker on their ass they won’t know what hit them! You do what feels right to you and forget everyone else. They just hatin hooker bitches! YOU’RE RICK JAMES BITCH! **HUGS**

LOL- see there is a reason why you keep me around! or its the exciting drama i bring, hmmmmmm dont answer that =)

Who could possibly hate on you after how far you have come?

“I’m Rick James BITCH!!” C, YOU KILL ME!! I’m laughing out loud for real!! Oh goodness!! But for real, I HATE you!! You are tall and BEAUTIFUL!! I’m 5’6.5. That .5 is VERY important. You have super long legs and yeah…let me stop hatin’. C, you do you! If you need to change your goal, FINE! It is NOBODY else’s business anyway. You are just being nice by informing us. Smooches…

RYN: My new theme song is by Usher “Burn.” I can see very clearly now! I wanted to kick him out of my place C!! I was so glad when Monday morning came. I woke him up two hours early so he would not forget ANYTHING and so he would be out of my place ON TIME!! LOL!! Smooches…

Of course you should change your goal weight if you are 2 inches more than you originally thought…anyone who flames you for using common sense is a turkey. Congratulations on being closer to the target than you realized. At your current weight you have lovely thin cheeks and collarbones to die for so you probably don’t have that much to go. Yay Courtney.

Hi C, I am 6′ also and after I saw your pics, I was wondering what everyone else was. I think you should definetly change your goal if you are 6’or maybe even if you aren’t, because you know those charts are not “one size fits all”. When I was in the Air Force I got down to 174 and I looked sickly. You will know your goal weight when you reach it, so go for what you know and ignore the charts! AW

hey you can lose an inch in aday from gravity. try to get measured in the morning. And I think yolook great in the size you are now. Go for the weight closer to your doctor

^..^Kat

But it makes a HUGE difference! I’m 5 ft. 2 1/2 inches, and the max healthy weight for that is 135ish. Imagine yourself at 135! It would make a big difference. Play with virtual model and see what you get!

When I started dieting I was in the same boat. Always thought I was 5’10” then I checked my height while I was caculating my BMI and I am actually 5’11” It actually excited me because it brought my BMI down and my goal weight up. You shouldn’t feel like a copout, facts are facts, if you are 6’0″ then you are spreading your love over 2 more inches and can’t expect to have the same goal!:)

Damn right I would change my goal too.

Girl you are so funny!!!! I love when David Chappelle plays Rick James!!! You know they are in talks with him to do a movie about the life of Rick James!! Tontoy 242.2/205/160

Definetly change your goal weight if you are 6′ – my 17 yr old lists her self as 5’10” – her dad is 6’3″ and she is fast approaching him. I think she is more like 6′. Go with the doc..180 is healthy for the tall supermodel hottie that you will be. We will take numbers and kick major butt of any flame throwers. I live close enough to come to your meeting. YOU AREN’T A COPOUT BY ANY MEANS

All I can say is that no matter how tall or short, you’re a beautiful, funny (really funny!), and amazingly inspiring lady! Thanks for your comments about my site on PDTD, and I look forward to reading more on your site and here on your journal! – LadyDeLaLuna (www.ladydelaluna.com)

Diva you are just too fun! You are my Saprano’s I can’t go a day with out checking you sight to see what funny stuff you going to say. Wrote a song about it wanna hear it, it hear it goes!! Your Kill’en me man, Kill’en me! If you wanna change your goals I say change them! It’s your would we’re just trying to get a nut……well not like that 🙂

I’ve just recently discovered that I’m actually taller than I thought I was too. About 1 in taller. I found out that I’m no longer 5ft (ha! I’m a midget) but I’m actually a towering 5’1! Lol.

…”that’s a BIG bitch!”) lol, you had me LMAO girl, and then picturing her big arse feet. I think you look absolutely GREAT the way you are now, but it’s your body, your hard work, and your goal should be YOUR goal and now what some chart says it should be.
