Skinny VS Curvy

Age: 48

Height: 5′4”

Weight: 132 lbs (once 172 lbs, lost 40 lbs in 9 months with Jenny Craig)

And an interesting part of the interview:

And so – after about a year of exercising on her own while losing weight, primarily by walking 10,000 steps a day – she hired a personal trainer in December. Before long she was running up to five times a week. During what she calls the bikini “homestretch” – the last three weeks – she trimmed her daily caloric intake from 1,700 to around 1,200, and gave up her regular “splurge” glass of champagne. “It was crunch time,” she says, “like getting ready for your class reunion!”

The result? Bertinelli says she is now in the best shape of her life. “I never, ever, ever had deltoids!” she says. “Oh my God, when I’m doing exercises and I see them pop out, I’m like, Yes!”

Furthermore, People Magazine’s Galina Espinoza tells Extra that the cover pic is not deceiving, but admits to minimal airbrushing.

Just earlier today we admired a skinny girl in a bikini, namely supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. Now it’s curvy girl’s time! And what curvy girl can do a better job in a bikini than Kim Kardashian, who was kind enough to post all these pics on her blog for our delight.

I’ve been recently asked to re-post Kim’s measurements – well, according to the same source (Kim’s personal blog) her voluptuous figure measures:

Height: 5′2” and 1/2 (157 cm)

Weight: 117 lbs. (53 kg)

Jeans size: 27

Bust: 34 (86 cm)

Waist: 26 (66 cm)

Hips: 39 (99 cm)

Lots of pics after the jump! Enjoy!

Now Magazine reports that Cheryl Cole is planning on gaining weight for Girls Aloud’s upcomming tour:

The singer-turned X Factor judge – who was recently criticized for her skeletal appearance – has hired a personal trainer and is seeking advice on her diet so that she can regain her curves. A source tells Britain’s Now magazine, “Cheryl knows that she looks too thin and wants to get in the best shape possible.

“She’s a size 6 (UK) at the moment, but aims to a size 8-10 and weigh around 8st (112 lbs.), which is healthy for her 5ft 3in frame. She struggles with her weight, but with help from her trainers, she hopes to get it under control. She wants to bulk up sensibly, so she’ll be eating lots of complex carbohydrates such as potatoes, wholemeal bread, pulse and rice.

So this means that she’s around 105 pounds now, since she plans on gaining around 7 lbs.

Demi: 46 years old, 5′5”, allegedly 115 lbs, ruler body shape.

Jennifer: 39 years old, 5′5”, allegedly 130 lbs, pear body shape.

Who Is Hotter? Demi Moore VS  Jennifer Lopez!

P.S.: And I think that Jennifer has officially lost ALL her baby weight.

Here are Gossip Girl beauties Leighton and Jessica, apparently freezing on set.

Remember when Dan characterized Blair (in one of the first episodes) as: “95 pounds of girly evil”? She might have been a little lighter at that time, but I highly doubt she was ever 95 lbs. at 5′5” (BMI 15.8). Anyway, regardless of weight and BMI, they’re both looking great!

P.S. Leighton’s hair is blonder every time we see her. Is there place for 2 blondes on the show?

2 more after the jump!

Here’s slim & healthy Hilary Duff the other day, looking a little “I just rolled out of bed” on the left and all styled up and leggy on the right.

She has said in the past that her highest weight was 130 lbs (59 kg) and her lowest was 100 lbs (45 kg) – at 5′2” (158.5 cm). Looks like she’s somewhere in the middle now and she’s been maintaining her weight for a while, so good for her! And another plus: she says “No, thanks!” to fake tan!

Say your thoughts!

In a recent interview, Oprah (who recently said that she reached 200 lbs) opened up (again) about her weight – here’s what she had to say:

It’s not about the food.  It’s about using food – abusing food. Too much work. Not enough play. Not enough time to come down. Not enough time to really relax.  I am hungry for balance. I’m hungry to do something other than work.

I’ve been hiding my body because I didn’t want you to see it.  Here I am, one of the most visible people in the world, trying not to be seen on the cover of my own magazine.

This is the year of hopefulness.  My goal is to be the weight that my body can hold and be healthy and strong and fit and be itself. One of the things I had to learn to do is to embrace this body that I have and be grateful for what this body has given me.  God blessed me and this body. I mean, I could weep right now thinking about the love and appreciation I have for this body. For that, I am truly grateful.

Here are the details of the weight loss story:

“I feel like a 12-year-old!” Alanis Morisette tells OK! of losing 20 pounds on her vegan diet, inspired by Eat to Liveby Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “I’m back to what I was born to be, at my best. I used to get out of bed in the morning and things were aching, and I just thought, this is what happens when you get into your 30s. But now I jump out of bed and have so much energy; I feel very alive.”

“I wasn’t interested in some fad diet that was unsustainable, like ‘lose 10 pounds in two weeks,’ ” she says of why she chose to go the vegan route. “I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster.”

“When I’m out on tour, my shows are so physical that that really takes care of it,” Alanis explains of her exercising regimen. “When I’m not on tour, I do between a half hour to an hour of light weights, running, biking, swimming, probably five times a week. I also love to kickbox and dance.”

As for her boyfriend, attorney Tom Ballanco, he’s always been there for the svelte rocker. “He just cares about my well-being. He thought I was sexy at whatever weight that I’ve been. I’ve never felt loved in that way before.”

When 5 girls gather together (especially in a girl band), you can’t help comparing them and picking a favorite. So, here’s a bunch of thin (if not skinny) girls in their pretty little dresses.

And I say “skinny” because Kimberly is the heaviest member of the band and she weighs 126 lbs (9 st / 57 kg), so yeah.

Check the girls in individual pictures after the jump!

Oprah recently opened the old and overly discussed subject again: her weight. Here’s what she had to say:

“I’m embarrassed … I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?’ ”

For starters, the fact that her thyroid was out-of-balance gave her “a fear of working out,” she says. “I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted – and that’s never good.”

Having slimmed down to 160 in 2006, she admits, “Yes, you’re adding correctly. That means the dreaded 2-0-0…”

Choosing a gown for the Barack Obama inauguration coming up in January, however, made Winfrey realize her self-image was no longer jibed with the person standing on the scales – though the real low point occurred last April.

“I felt like a fat cow,” Winfrey writes of the occasion when she sought to skip out on a Las Vegas show taping with Cher and Tina Turner. “I wanted to disappear.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Winfrey’s weight and height rank her as obese, with a body mass index of 31.8 – putting her at “at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol,” says the CDC.

Winfrey intends to address the issue on The Oprah Winfrey Show, which will kick off “Best Life Week” Jan. 5.
