Men attracted to hourglass women
Studies have shown that no matter WHAT your weight is, if you have an hourglass figure, men will be attracted to you.

Weigh in 3 lbs more than day before, discouraged
Hi, I keep weighing myself every day, and sometimes I will lose a pound a day, (I'm on Atkins), and sometimes I will weigh 3 pounds heavier than the day before. This is very irritating.
