Colleen has looked as she does now for quite some time. I often tune in HSN and see Colleen frequently and she has been in great shape for quite some time. And I couldn't agree more about her hands .............. they are really lovely and do a great service for all the jewelry shows. She looks just fab for being 53 (or thereabouts) and she does have such a gracious and charming style about her. I have always liked Colleen.

I like a lot of HSN clothing. I don't buy too much anywhere online these days but some of their designers give me great ideas to look for locally. I have come to realize that as we get older, if you can still adapt to current trends, adjusting them as necessary for size and/or age, it can really make you seem even younger than you are.

I get so many compliments on my style of dressing, often from gals that are in their 20's/30's who will say "I wish my Mother would dress a little more updated and current like you do." They tend to think of me younger than I really am because I prefer wearing more current and updated styles.

I didn't check out their TSV today but love leggings ......... oh, just remembered they are by Heather Thompson, aren't they? I don't like shapewear leggings and that's what her brand is all about. I do recall seeing her pitching the upcoming TSV when watching Stacie a little yesterday. Well, didn't really need anymore leggings anyway. As cold as it is for so much of the country, our temps are running warmer than usual and there may not be months left for wearing leggings here. Sure wish it would get a bit cooler here.

I sure wish it would warm up some for all of you suffering from such dreadful cold.

Hi Wackers. First of all, thanks for the wishes about our weather warming up. LOL It stinks!! It was negative 5 or 6 this a.m. when I woke up. I'm so over it. Trying to do this sales job in this weather is so difficult and uncomfortable.

2nd-I bought those leggings. I'm not big on shape wear, but I love leggings under long jackets or some of my logo tops. I bought the navy and brown sets. I hope I like them, and I couldn't decide which size to get, LOL. It was a toss up.

I'm not a big fan of Colleen's hands, but I know they are without blemish and her skin tone is lovely. I just think her hands look a bit pudgy-it must just be me. She's a lovely woman though, and she does look like she's lost weight.

I'm not a fan of that Heather Thomas or whatever that yummie tummie lady's name is, but I do think I'll like those leggings. They were a great value.

Hope you have a great day Wackers.

Colleen is my favorite host of all the shopping channels. She looks great!

It's been quite a while.......but when they got new management......ALL the hosts went on a diet/health "kick".......and those who needed it, had facial enhancements (face lifts).

It's been over a year, I think, that I read where Colleen had written that Jennifer Stallone had helped her w/ weight loss tips. One was taking a spoonful of vinegar w/ meals and she also talked about Skinny Cows and not eating a full meal late at night ~ just a salad. She looks awesome.

Wow, I didn't know that, but had thought Shannon looked like she'd had one. Did you read this somewhere?

[ladybuglainie]

I agree ladies.....Colleen looks fantastic! She's always had a very pretty face, but her weight loss has made her look years younger...she's got to be every bit of 52 or 53 by now. The other one that looks fantastic is Connie.....her butt and hips used to be HUGE....she even stated she absolutely hated not being able to sit down behind a table for her shows....she hated when she was in a full length camera shot.

you are so right; now that I think about it. Bobbi Ray has had face lifts for a long time now. Robin, Colleen and Connie Craig Carroll all lost weight. Connie seems to have had work done on her face; don't know about Colleen but she sure looks young

Shannon Smith and Helen Keaney lost weight.

Callie and Shannon and Carrie Smith, Suzanne's eyes look different.

I love Kathy Wolf and Lynn Murphy; don't like Lynn's hair extensions; she doesn't need them; they look fake.

Colleen reminds me of a Miss Perfect; always dressed to the nines with an immaculate house; nothing out of place.

She really does look great. She wrote a blog about turning 50 and realizing she was 25 pounds overweight, had a haircut she didn't like (remember the Sami fiasco) and really wanted to change a few things.

I think her weightloss program has been all over the place, like many, until she found out what worked for her and what she was comfortable sticking with. I know she mentioned giving up dairy and gluten and at one point said she drank apple cider vinegar in water per Jennifer Stallone to curb her appetite. Now during one of Andrew's visits, she mentioned doing the 5/2 diet.

She said she lost 25 pounds and it was a very slow go. I thought she looked find before but she really does look fabulous.

Colleen mentioned last night that she didn't have time to change between the Yummie Tummie presentation and Hot in Hollywood as she only had 60 seconds. That is why she had the leggings on under the jeans.

I believe at the time, the scuttlebutt was that they were all on the HCG shots/diet (which will make you lose weight FAST). Plus many mentioned using the exercise equipment (like rebounder and such) to maintain the loss. Didn't Rachel have something like lap band? You never know what's true on the boards, but that's what was going around at the time.

[Lipstickdiva]

Rachel said she lost weight through calorie counting and exercise. She also wrote about her weightloss journey on her FB page because so many people asked what she did.

Way back when all the hosts lost weight like Chris and Suzanne, it wasn't HCG shots they were rumored to be getting, it was B12 shots but who knows if that was really true or not. Kathy Wolfe said she lost weight using that Michael Thurmond diet.
