To think that if Kim Kardashian can, I should be able to do the same too and yet can't?

Apparently Kim Kardashian lost 16 pounds/7k in under a month. Reportedly she wore a sauna suit, ran, and cut down sugar and cards and ate vegetables and protein. I may not have the sauna suit but I can do the rest, right? And yes I don't think I could lose that much weight in a month (I'm a size ten, about 5'4). AIBU to think that while on paper I should be able to lose that much weight, it probably wouldn't happen? I usually watch my weight by calorie counting and that works for me - but not that quickly!

She is a beautiful woman, no doubt about that.

I thought she looks too hard for this look though. The dress was the wrong colour for her complexion, it didn't suit her look. The makeup was too harsh as well.

Talking about the dress, I do agree with a PP who said that in MM's case she wore the dress, whereas in KK's case it was the other way around. It could however also be because today we identify that dress with MM. I wonder: had KK worn the famous green dress Jennifer Lopez wore, would that dress also have worn KK? Possibly because for many people that dress is so intrinsically linked to JL?

She looks like a blow up doll. I doubt there's much left that hasn't been under a surgeon's knife:

I'm reading elsewhere that she wore a replica. When they said she 'borrowed' the dress they meant borrowed it to have a copy made, not to wear it.

That makes sense to me. As mentioned above, the dress was so tight Marilyn was literally sewn into it. No way, even with the alleged weight loss, that KK could have squeezed into Marilyn's actual dress.

in that case she could have had it made a bit bigger

She wore the actual dress and then changed into a replica. As someone said, they tied the real dress as it wouldn't fasten, hence the fur.

Losing weight too fast is how you get loose skin. Google it.

She'd have skin removal surgery if she needed to. Although I believe it only happens if you lose A LOT of weight.

Apologies if already said as I have not read everything but she didn't fit into the dress, that's why she wore the stole, she spoke about it on instagram.
It's a crying shame how Marilyn has been so disrespected in life and now death. I mean Kim now owns her hair, how sick is that!

I've just watched it and she can't even walk in it . Isn't flattering on her at all

Fimofriend · 06/05/2022 07:28

Usually when celebrities lose a lot of weight that fast it is liposuction but they never want to admit that.

Yabu unless you can take 3 weeks off work and make it your full time job.

She’s probably a liar, she won’t have list that much. If she did it’s probably through dehydration. Plus she had a TEAM of people ready to snatch ‘bad’ food off her and make her exercise.
That dress looked terrible on her. She’s a completely different personality/shape/colouring to Marilyn.
