Three

Jeans'

Sizes

My jeans are all stacked in three groups From slim to the wide hoola-hoops While diets are tedium I’m back to a medium My fasting would shock our brave troops With nineteen pounds lost in three weeks I smile when I see smaller cheeks I credit V-8 juice For making my jeans loose My butt receives better critiques *February 11, 2021 For Anthony Biaanco’s “3” Contest

V-8 Juice actually speeds up our metabolism and burns fat. A great dietary aid!

Oh how cute, good for you my friend, I have just been on this trip myself! I just starve myself, its the only way I lose weight, cream cakes, waffles, apple pies out the door! Got to me desired size, but is was torture. I love this poem and have to fave it. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I hate starving. When I visit my sister and use her pool, I burn lots of calories and can eat more. I actually lost 33 pounds, but it took three years. LOL

A delightful double Limerick dose, Carolyn. At least you are capable of sticking to a diet...many start but give up too quickly. ~ Hope you are keeping well; I've been too busy, and even my writing has had to take second place. ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul

They say get rid of only the size you want to wear so that you have to stay one size. LOL..Most of those tricks don't work for me. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

I'm just afraid to do that, Sara, though it might encourage me to continue dieting forever. LOL Thanks for reading!

Clever take on the contest theme Carolyn. Always a struggle to keep watching weight--V8 is a good friend. Your ending line sums the major benefit.

Haha great limericks Carolyn, I've heard people who go on cruises take different size clothes because they eat so much. Good luck in the contest. Tom
