The Truth About Weight
Charts
Weight can be deceiving, and weight charts don’t account
for individual variation. Too many women and men have
developed eating disorders because the weight charts
told them they were overweight, and no matter what they
did, they remained off the charts.
Editor's Tip:
Don’t Skimp on the Right Fit & Support Sports Bra
It’s no secret, intimate apparel and undergarments make a difference. All women know that the right bras, panties, and shapewear on the inside will make your clothes look better on the outside. A proper fit and support sports bras, with the proper materials and technology, can add comfort and style that will make a difference during your workouts
Too many women wear poorly fitting bras and panties, and have plenty of room for improvement in this area. With the nearly endless selection of styles and colors for bras, panties, shapewear, and loungewear available, it would be a shame for any woman to not flatter their individual shape as much as possible!
Whether your petite, average, or plus-sized, find a sports bra that supports and flatters your shape.

Scales can also drive
you crazy: most diet experts recommend only weighing
yourself once a week, since weight can fluctuate dramatically
from day to day. Your weight is not necessarily a reliable
indicator of your muscle tone, fat levels or fitness.
In fact, muscle is heavier than
fat, so people who start working out may even gain
weight at first, as the muscle builds up before the fat
has melted off.
But muscle also takes up less room on
your body than fat does. For example, five pounds of fat
take up the same amount of room on your body as three
large grapefruits. Five pounds of muscle takes up as
much room as three tangerines! That makes a big
difference when you’re trying on bathing suits!
Forget weight charts, and pay attention to body fat
percentage, a much more reliable indicator of fitness.
