Talking Picture

Now I am REALLY going to crawl under a rock! If you go here quick you can see me gurning my way through a wee story about blogs on Sky News today. Crikey!

They included a screenshot of those Old Fat Jeans photos, which prompted Gareth to say, "Woohoo! How's it feel to have your erect nipples beamed across Europe!?"

CRIKEY! your 15 minutes of fame continues! Good on you Shauna! What a feeling you must have to know that so many people look up to you for inspiration through your blog! Amazing!

That is good work Shauna, both the dieting AND being on Sky News. :-D

Wow, you're a mini celebirity aren't you?
It was so weird having the aussie acsent to go along with the picture!!! When I read you blog, all there is is a plain Canadian voice.

[5 · Posted by M. · August 20, 2006 at 06:37 PM]

haha, ditto what the one above said. I'd heard your voice before (on that radio thing), but I'm still surprised at the accent. All I kept thinking was "How can it be hard to lose weight when you have such a cute accent"? Haha, stupid, I know, but it somehow makes it more lighthearted than with a regular Canadian (or American) accent.
And, Congrats!

Woohooo! Wow wow wow! I llllike it I lllike it-alot! Different necklace ey? :-D

I so dig you, it´s good to be back in the city where one can ACCESS INTERNET after the loooong, hothothot summer which was brilliant btw. And continues, Finnish summer really is putting it´s best effort not to give in for the chillier nights of autumn. Anyway, keep up the good work in being a celeb I can say I "KNOW"! ;-)

I came here from your WNP blog and spent last night reading your archive (sorry, it's sounds a little creepy but I'm in Argentina so you're safe).

You've made me realise that I don't have any excuses left (the big one being 'but I've got sooo much to lose').

I'm going to try again and learn from you so please keep writing, I really enjoy it. Many thanks.

PS congrats on the fame thing - the fact that you're not doing any of this for money gives hope to the rest of us.

Oh hey, I just noticed that you "un-blurred" the first pic (with the brown shirt). Good thing I noticed in the video. I was wondering when you were going to do that. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your erect nipples on Canadian TV. You know it's gonna happen!

as some one working towards goal herself. you are an insperation to me. I have recently had some down falls this past week. And have used them as an excusse to eat my weigh back up to almost my start weight again. well no more. I have been reading your journal off and for the past two years now. I started my own blog do to a nother girl online. without this journal and the help of you lovely ladies I would have given up long ago so hats off to you and keep up the good work. I read your journal all the way from canada. keep writting and stay stronge angie

[10 · Posted by YP · August 20, 2006 at 08:40 PM]

Woo hoo! Fame! And you couldn't really see the nipples...

[11 · Posted by Chris B. · August 20, 2006 at 08:46 PM]

You are a huge inspiration, and you look great in the photos.

[12 · Posted by Ros · August 20, 2006 at 09:45 PM]

Wow! You are quite the celebrity nowadays. I had been wondering why there wasn't more media attention about blogging- particularly weight loss blogging as it is such a useful tool, but I see the media is catching on to it now.

I got all excited- you have the same computer as me.. now I'll be hearing your voice when I read your blog!

Take Care.. and enjoy your fame :D

oh and you looked lovely on sscreen. :D

[13 · Posted by Marshmallow · August 20, 2006 at 11:38 PM]

Way-hey! You'll have paparazzi springing out from behind bushes in no time!

I agree with Ros, you looked lovely on screen AND, you sound so sweet! I always coil in horror whenever I hear my voice since I expect a relaxed, laid back Kiwi accent yet I end up sounding like a cross between an English corgi and an Indian street merchant. Ack!

This is the calm before the storm, soon you'll be mobbed in shopping malls! [heaven forbid!]

[14 · Posted by PastaQueen · August 21, 2006 at 02:15 AM]

Heh, I was thinking the same thing as the other commenters about your accent. I sit here and read your blog in my head with my American accent, but maybe now I'll have to add an Aussie twinge to it :) Congrats on the news story!

[15 · Posted by joc · August 21, 2006 at 03:02 AM]

You're getting so famous now, today sky news, tomorrow world domination ;-) LOL

Loved hearing your voice, all these people keep saying how Aussie you sound, I disagree, now that you've been away for so long I think some of the Aussieness has been a little diluted :-)I expected you to sound a lot more like me, instead of ever so slightly British!!

Cool!

[16 · Posted by Ails · August 21, 2006 at 03:53 AM]

That clip was just unreal! You look amazing in it! Embrace those fat jeans photo Honey - you're a star :)

[17 · Posted by Brad Lucas · August 21, 2006 at 05:07 AM]

Haha! You are losing your accent along with the weight! You don't sound quite like the Shauna I once knew (although she's still in there slightly) :-)

[18 · Posted by Adam · August 21, 2006 at 05:24 AM]

WOW! Those photos were really inpirational. Nothing like a good set of erect nipples to get ya motivated! LOL

Just kidding of course! What an amazing weight loss! You are one of my real inspirations!

Peace,
Adam

[19 · Posted by Narelle · August 21, 2006 at 09:17 AM]

Congrats DG!! A true inspiration to us all. You look and sound fabulous!!

All hail the media star... From Scottish papers to Sky News - what's next?

Seriously, you deserve all this attention because your blog has inspired so many people.

[21 · Posted by Barb · August 21, 2006 at 06:22 PM]

Really terrific. It is fun to see what you're really like. After reading your blog for over a year, I feel like I know you, but it's very different than the real thing. You're a great writer, very entertaining, so please continue.

[22 · Posted by Jovey · August 21, 2006 at 07:11 PM]

I think when you start your own official fanclub it should be called "The Morsel Monitors" after that clip.

You do your homeland proud luvvey.

[23 · Posted by iFitandHealthy · August 21, 2006 at 08:43 PM]

Nice, very nice. Congratulation!

[24 · Posted by Videl · August 21, 2006 at 11:50 PM]

I just took another look at your side by side progress pics and I just noticed how slender you hands have gotten. They don't even look like they belong to the same person. I encourage everyone to go over there and take a good look. Who would have thought that hands could get in shape too!?!

Ahhh there's still hope for my pudgy fingers!!!!

[25 · Posted by sandii · August 21, 2006 at 11:54 PM]

awesome interview, you look great and sound exactly as i expected, Aussie through and through!

well done for getting to the 70's as well, i'm not sure if i have commented since you did.

[26 · Posted by blubbah · August 22, 2006 at 09:29 AM]

I wonder if they were going for a Sex and the City thing there, in the beginning... Do you know good diet, and aren't afraid to ask?

[27 · Posted by CKK · August 22, 2006 at 11:59 AM]

How cool's that??! You looked great, sounded equally as brilliant (what's wrong with sounding "Oz"??!) and you were far, far, FAR more interesting than the other bloke in the clip. I hope you've been taking all these opportunities to promote your up and coming book!

[28 · Posted by Sybil · August 22, 2006 at 04:14 PM]

It's great that you decided to do the interview. It's so cool to hear you talking and see how great you look. Maybe now that you're getting so much mention, a publisher will approach you next.
Congratulations!
