Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Three Groups of Jeans

My jeans are all piled into three groups
From thin to as wide as hoola-hoops
     Diets are such tedium
     Finally back at medium
Efforts to get there would shock our troops

With nineteen pounds lost in just six weeks
I’m once again proud of my rear cheeks
     I can credit V-8 juice
     For help making my jeans loose
Thin jeans require costlier techniques

Andrea Dietrich June 12, 2011 at 9:00 AM Look at Nikko bragging about her shape. hahaha. Nikko, you are cute!

Andrea Dietrich June 12, 2011 at 8:59 AM Yes, you are right. Some people love v8. it just would drive me nuts if I had to drink it a lot. I am NOT a veggie person, as you have guessed!! And I am sure for people that enjoy that stuff, it is a good metabolism increaser!! well, off I go to church now. Have a good one, Carolyn!

Kabuteng P.Ink K. June 11, 2011 at 10:25 PM haha! thank you for the vote of confidence, Carolyn :D-- yes I have a great figure, a perfect oval shape methinks -- HAHAHA. oh gosh, lol. 0_o enjoy your weekend!

Andrea Dietrich June 11, 2011 at 9:16 PM PS. I know you don't eat much except drink that nasty V8. I am the "live to eat" kind of gal so I am always looking for ways to "beat the system" and be able to eat and not gain a lot. I found out that using natural thyroid (herbs at the health store) is helping boost my metabolism to what it used to be. I hope I can keep the progress going!!

Andrea Dietrich June 11, 2011 at 9:13 PM great job using your own diet ordeals in the contest post, Carolyn. Are you feeling better now? Great to see you commenting. Luv, Andrea
