Mme.'s Links | My OurHealth Interview, Weight Watchers Hiring Discrimination and Proud Curvy Celebs




1. I was given the opportunity to share some details surrounding my weight loss journey and living with MS, with the awesome OurHealth Movement blog! OurHealth is an amazing group of women of color who showcase exciting fitness adventures, inspirational stories, delicious recipes and much more. It was absolutely an honor. You can check it out here: Healthy Role Model: Paula

2. I came across this story via tweet by @WGNikki: "Is Weight Watchers Biased Against the Overweight?" Lynae Remondino found success following Weight Watchers, losing over 118 pounds on the program. However, when she applied to be a representative trainer for the organization, her BMI was the only negative, in an otherwise satisfactory job interview. Ouch. [Full Story]


3. CBSNews compiled a slide of the leading curvaceous celebrities of our time. Highlighted belles include; Crystal Renn, Toccara Jones, America Ferrera, Kate Dillon, Mia Tyler and Mo'nique. While most have lost weight or attempted, these women have truly exemplified beauty, at any size. [Full Story and Slideshow]
