Chaka Khan, How Did You Get Your Body Like That?

I am a HUGE Chaka Khan fan and have been since I was a little girl. My parents were really into music so I grew up listening to so many different types of sounds. Rufus and Chaka Khan were always in heavy rotation on my mom’s record player. Tell Me Something Good, Sweet Thing, and I’m Every Woman were tunes that I would two-step to while my mom would play it during our Saturday cleaning house activities. Chaka was (and still is) a part of my life, musically!

So when I saw her a few weeks ago in some pictures that surfaced online, my jaw dropped. Chaka had battled drug abuse in recent years and was a little heavier than she used to be. But girlfriend was looking flawless and super svelte. My jaw dropped. She looked like she had dropped major weight.

And when more pictures were showcased on her Facebook page of her on the red carpet at an event as well as during her performance on the American Idol finale, I instantly looked at my stomach and sucked it in. Chaka, at age 59, is killin’ em! She’s making my 36 year old tail look geriatric.

Chaka, what is your weight loss secret, girl?

With all of these celebrities making major dough with weight loss campaigns (see Mariah with Jenny, Jennifer Hudson with Weight Watchers, and Janet with Nutri System), I’m wondering why someone hasn’t tapped Chaka, who is obviously doing something right.

The last few weeks has been a little un-epic with my weight loss, but seeing Chaka is making me step up my game and get back on the ball.

{Ain’t Chaka FINE? YES!}
