Today, I'm a size medium and living life larger than ever!

Study Proposes New Obesity Definition

A new study suggests that though belly fat or extra weight distributed around the mid-section of your body is worrisome and can contribute to a variety of health conditions, any excess weight is not healthy.  So pear-shaped men and women, who carry weight in their hips and thighs and of course, people who have deposits of fat around their... Read moreChevron
