    Kim is so beautiful and she looks amazing. My oldest sister just passed away from a heart attack at 54. She was morbidly obese. Her death is another wake-up call for me to remain vigilant about my health. 54 is too young to die.

    Stop making excuses about lack of good foods in the hood. We can drive over a hr to bring Gucci and Prada back to our neighborhood but won't drive 20 minutes to trader Joe's for healthier choices.

      You need groceries multiple times a week. What poor black people do you know who are driving over an hour every few days to buy Prada and Gucci?

      @@cynthiaholland13 you don't need groceries multiple times! Maybe fat people or people living in a home with grandmom, pop pop, auntie, cousin and uncle. You see nothing but fat girls wearing all that expensive clothes. U can only buy it at expensive stores away from the hood. So stop making excuses. Go to the airport and see how many obese sistas walking with Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga etc.

    This is a prime example of the culture of "it's never my fault" and "zero personal responsibility".
    Your first point was black women tend to have higher levels of cortisol that causes weight gain. Assuming that is true, we know white women have higher rates of cortisol in their bodies than males of all races. Yet white women in the US have the lowest rates of obesity.
    Lack of access ? Gimme a break. There wasn't an obesity epidemic among black women in the 1960's and before. No one had a 12 pack of sodas in their fridge or a pantry full of honey buns and snack cakes. I'm old enough to remember when my town got it's first McDonald's. Today I can't even begin to count how many fast food restaurants are there. It's not the lack of access but rather the massively increased access to processed foods loaded with sugar and flour. This has affected every race and gender.
    I've lost 80 pounds since last year and now I'm at a perfectly healthy weight. I became fat because of the terrible terrible eating habits I had. Stop blaming everything else. It takes discipline and introspection to get healthy. It is you who chooses what you put in your body.

      Accountability is a MASSIVE issue in our black community. I completely understand why black men in America date outside their race now like wow.
      When will our women take responsibility for ANYTHING??????

    Every sista I see these days is almost 2X my size and I'm 6'0" and 195lbs. ACCOUNTABILITY is highly lacking, we're always looking to blame it on white people, if not then the system, and if that doesn't work then we resort to blaming the black men (oh the wanted us thick etc)
    ACCOUNTABILITY/RESPONSIBILITY is very much lacking in this conversation

      It’s not rocket science but it certainly IS a science. It has been scientifically proven that eating less is ineffectual without considering menopause premenopausal and post menopausal HORMONES . these thing reek havocked on the metabolism. I
      Lost nearly 20 pounds by eating once a day and my weight loss plateaued for three months! It wasn’t until :
      1. Learned WHAT to eat to combat hormonal influences
      2. Practiced consistent STRESS management
      3. Changed sleeping habits
      4.Customized exercises to combat sluggish metabolism and to burn fat instead of muscle , that I actually was able to lose the remaining 15 pounds.
      I surely wish it was a cookie cutter way to weight loss but it NOT especially for WOMEN over 40. What YOU do every dam day as a MAN simply doesn’t work for women
