For well rounded ladies, Lane Bryant - the store, not the mail order catalog, has good trendy stuff for gals size 14 and up. Their new ad that I got in the mail is sexxxy. Also, I like Mode magazine, for women size 12 and up. The women are nicely rounded (like our nicely rounded vocal tones) and very pretty. This magazine encourages self acceptance and self worth at any size. They often get letters from men who enjoy reading their wife's magazine or just pick it up off of the shelf because the covers are so striking. I have never had any trouble getting men and my husband has no complaints :-) and the smallest I've been is a size 12 at 5'7" tall.
For the record, I don't think Atkins is the only way to lose weight. :-) You can do it on an extremely low fat, primarily vegetarian diet, too. There is an advantage with Atkins in that you are not hungry while losing weight, you see results quickly and fairly steadily, etc. This is just me, but, I used to be a veg and was hungry a lot and very tired. One can lose weight by a program of exercise, including walking, weight lifting if you have the time and energy. I cannot run... too much bounce if you know what I mean, and knee pain... my mother used to say that running wasn't good for women because it can damage the reproductive organs due to the impact. Probably an old wives tale. :-)
