Okay, I LOVE to watch "The View", but as i listen, I'm MAD at Joy Behar!!!

She's sitting there trashing Atkins as a bad diet, because you don't learn how to eat smaller portions! "Eat all this bacon for five hours! Atkins says...You never learn to eat normally, and that's why it doesn't WORK!" she claims....

I remember the weight loss challenge they had last year, and they PUT her on Atkins. She failed at it, because she refused to give up her wine and bread!!!! Now she loses weight and brags about Nutrisystem or whatever plan she's on, and meanwhile admits they paid her BIG BUCKS to use their plan and lose... I'll watch, and in my mean-spirited way, I hope she gains it ALL back....

"The View" has been notorious for bashing low-carb. Those women annoy me anyway and for that fact I won't watch them (my husband feels the same way!)

Be cool if Star suddenly lost 100 pounds on Atkins. That would blow a lot of people away!

I really don't think Star is interested in losing weight. I think she is afraid that people will "view" her in a different light. Look at al Roker.
Starr makes it a point all the time to say how happy she is with her body.
I know that I used to say that too lol. now I say I am happy with the size I am too but I still want to lose more weight. I am happier with myself now then when I was 219 but not as happy as I will be at 150. Joy Behar is just not my cup of tea. I stopped watching the view after the 2nd time Joy was supposed to go on a diet and failed. sorry to ramble.

I was always happy with myself too...until I started lsing weight and feeling better...now I am ok with where I am, proud of hoe far I've come and I can SEE where I am going.... it's almost like I had blinders on then... very weird.

I dont really like the view either...but it is what its supposed to be...very opinionated women! lol

You must remember "Joy" is a paid spokesperson for Jenny Craig. She lost 60lbs in the summer off season. On the first new show they brought her out and made a big deal that she lost it "the Jenny Craig way"
Here in cincinnati during the view there are Jenny Craig comercials with guess who in it???????????

She knocks those that dont pay her

IMO I think that the way we all are losing we will keep it off. I never did jenny craig but I did do nutri systems way back when. Yes I lost but I gained it all back and some. We are now eating for life not just for now. we might eat a little more carbs here and there but not the way we used to. I know for myself that I have weeks that I eat more then I should with carbs but then I go back to atkins way.

I got really sick and tired of their low carb bashing, so now I don't "view" them anymore. I turned on Ellen she is much more entertaining than that bunch!

even sharron Osborne I think is more of a real person.

Ever taken a good look at Joy? She is no toothpick. Nuff said.

Well as you can tell I havne't watched the show lately...so I didn't know she'd lost weight on jenny craig. Well here's my question...if Jenny craig and nutri system or so great, why do they offer prescription appetite suppressants with their program???

Things that make you go hmmmmm

Joy was at it again today! She said Atkins Diet will never work because you learn nothing about portion control. "They can eat all they want - eat this much bacon for 10 hours and lose weight." Merrideth asked why they lose so much then-it seems to work for people and Joy says -"I bet they don't keep it off for long because they never learn how to eat-it's portion control."
It will indeed be interesting to see how long she keeps HER weight off.

It also surprises me that the self-claimed "I've tried every diet" is so hard on Atkins. She obviously never read the book.

AS reported in the NY Post:

"Star Jones, co-host of ABC's "The View," is going to get gastric bypass surgery, according to the New York Post.

Jones, who has battled her weight for years, hopes to shed pounds the way Al Roker and Carnie Wilson did. "

Please pass the steak!

WOW I can't beleive that one. I am almost speechless lol.
