Apparently, Oprah declared she would lose 15 pounds before Barack Obama's January 20 inauguration. She gave trainer Bob Greene a whole five weeks to whip her into shape (he said it's possible) and with one week left to go, I wonder how the talk show superstar is doing. I mean, I want to believe the girl can do it, because in years past, she has done it. But she's also undone it. So there's no telling what Oprah will reveal on the big night -- a quick slimdown or a slow status quo.

For a peek at Oprah's weight-loss ups and downs, check out this OK magazine slide show. Then tell us in the poll below how you think Ms. O will look when her favorite Democrat is sworn in.

She is surely not a simple woman, and neither is her life, especially her weight loss. I read at http://www.projectweightloss.com what she believes to be the best solution for weight loss. Exactly twenty years ago, Oprah was a happy woman, after she managed to lose 67lbs. Even then she wasn’t a Hollywood size 2 kind of star, but the wheel barrel packed with her ex-67lbs of fat parade became more famous than, for instance, a fabulous celebrity dress on the red carpet.

Oprah has announced that she is hypothyroid. She has quit her meds and I think she will find it harder to slim down than she has before. She claims she is cured...if that is so then I doubt she was hypothyroid in the beginning...and if she really does have some cure for sure I wish she would share it with the rest of us hypothyroid patients!

Best wishes to "O" on her quick diet. If I was given one dollar for every pound that she gained, lost and then re-gained; I would have enough money for a two week vacation to Monaco.

"O" should remove her false eyelashes and trim her hair. Then she is half way to losing 15 lbs. for the inaugural.

Go get'em Obama girl.
