My fantasy list for Dancing with the Stars

And on that note, here is one of my fantasy lists for celebrities I would like to see on Dancing with the Stars.

1. Leslie Nielsen
2. Tiger Woods
3. Any of the members of Boyz II Men
4. Larry the Cable Guy (for the Would he actually DO it? factor)
5. Romeo (for real this time!)
6. Mary Lou Retton
7. Ellen Degeneres
8. Lara Flynn Boyle
9. Reba McEntire
10. Kelly Ripa

I've noticed there is a sort of pattern to the people they choose for this show. There must be a) one male lead who has a lot of charm b) one big goofy guy c) at least one man from a former boy band d) at least one really hot looking younger woman and one hot looking older woman e) one athlete of both genders. The rest are filler.

My other picks were such people as Warren Beatty, Annette Benning, Jack Nicholson, and Robert Redford. Chevy Chase could pull it off except for the severe back injuries he has suffered throughout his career. Lou Gossett, Jr. would also do a good job I'm sure. Can't use Christopher Walken because he actually studied ballet. I'd sort of like to see Jackie Chan dance. But then again, we all know I"m evil.

I love this show, although I'm getting rather sick of Master P mentioning his HOMIES every damn week. This week he added a little sympathy plea for his grandma's sister dying or something like that, and all I could think of was "you know you can't dance for crap, and you gotta go begging for votes out of sympathy! Be a MAN, take your lumps and get off the show!"

but I'm just a hater because I thought Giselle was a better dancer than he was (so was Tatum for that matter) and I thought the whole point of the show was to actually have a DANCE contest, not a POPULARITY contest.

What are you prepared to do?

It's the first day of a new year, and I have made a goal for myself to get under 200 pounds in the next 12 months. At my current weight, that will require me to lose at least 6 pounds a month, or 1.5 pounds a week. That's actually fairly doable. The question becomes, what am I prepared to DO to lose this weight?
First, I am prepared to get my butt to the gym more often. I've had a serious problem with sinus infections this last year, so I've not made it to the gym much at all in November and December. My husband has suggested we get up earlier and go to the gym before work. That's fine with me, I can actually get up early and be fairly alert, but he's got problems with mornings...they start too darn early! So I will do my best to motivate his butt out of bed and get us to the gym.
Second, I am prepared to plan my meals better. I know that most of my problems with eating is that I am not planning my food intake and therefore I find myself eating garbage. There are two fast food restaurants and three places I can order food from right near where I work, and I tend to get quickly prepared fatty and salty food whenever I go there. My doctor has ordered me to not eat salty or fatty foods, so in order to feel better physically I will plan all my meals, and snacks, and stick to it. In the long run, this will be less expensive than eating out 5 meals a week.
Third, I am prepared to keep a daily log of my food intake so I can catch myself when I do eat improperly and keep myself back on track.
Fourth, I am prepared to cut myself a little slack. If I screw up for one meal, it doesn't ruin the whole damn day. It's just one meal. I need to remember that.

The infamous BEFORE picture

This is me at 280, which was not my highest weight. I eventually was 295
