I am fatter than Carnie Wilson

I watched the premiere of "Celebrity Fit Club 4" last night and realized during the show that I am fatter than Carnie Wilson. Now, of course, Carnie is nowhere near what she was before her gastric bypass surgery years ago -- she's starting the show at 188 and they said her low after the surgery was 145. She was over 300 when she had the surgery. But still, given how much Carnie Wilson is associated with overweight people, (I feel for you on that Carnie), the fact that I am only an inch and a half taller than her but nearly 20 pounds heavier than her is a sobering thought.

I'm going to be interested in watching her progress on Celebrity Fit Club -- some celebrities like Tina Yothers were eager to lose more than the show had targeted for them. Carnie acted more like I expected a veteran of failed diets would -- she thought the target was great, but she didn't promise to lose any more than that -- she already knows how hard it's going to be.
