    One of them, i think the red one, is more structured, and has a straight almost pencil skirt. The blue one is more relaxed, with a cowl neck, and rouching around the middle, softer fabric.

    I was doing some digging around on the internet
    Women carry more fat than men
    Description Women Men
    Essential fat 10–13% 2–5%
    Athletes 14–20% 6–13%
    Fitness 21–24% 14–17%
    Average 25–31% 18–24%
    Obese 32%+ 25%+
    Also, due to water retention around ovulation and menstruation, this can make the scales tell women they have gained weight, when its actually just the weight of the water.

    I found an interesting article below that says it is harder for women than men to lose weight:
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifest...fd1_story.html
    And if its true that muscle burns more calories than fat, then my idea of doing some toning exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups might actually work!

    Up 1lb this week. Last two days have been particularly bad on the diet and exercise front so I am not surprised.

    Don't forget that changes in cycle and hormones also contribute...
