A new study has revealed that Americans have been trying hard to lose the extra pounds by reducing their food intake, exercising,drinkingplenty of water and trying out new diet butthey were not reaching their goals.

As per federal survey report the number of people who tried to put down their weight was 34% during the period 1999-2000 and it increased to 42% during the period 2015-2016. The average BMI was 28 during the period 1999-2000 while it increased to 29.4 during the period 2015-2016. The people surveyed were in the age range from 40-64 years. Dr. Lu Qi, senior researcher and director of the Tulane University Obesity Research Center in New Orleans, said that although the efforts for weight loss have been increasing, obesity is not decreasing as expected. Qi said that the reason for this might be that people are not trying out their diet in an effective way.

Qi said that the most famous weight-loss strategy was eating in lesser quantity. But by doing this people tend to include fattening foods even though they reduce their food intake. There was decrease in food intake but no decrease in calorie intake. The chief of obesity surgery at the Lenox Hospital, Mew York City, Dr. Mitchell Roslin, said that research has shown that reducing food intake and exercise was not enough for a long-term weight loss plan. When one eats less, it signals the brain that one is sick. When the brain realizes that one is sick and has lost weight, it does work to put that lost weight back. So this does not help in shedding the extra weight. So eating right is also important for maintain a healthy heart as well as to avoid diabetes.

The director of Obesity, Metabolism and Nutrition Institute at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Lee Kaplan said that true care for this condition of obesity may require therapies or medications which will assist on the self-regulation of fat in the body.

The women interviewed for this piece are only referred to by their first names for the sake of their privacy.

Taylor pays careful attention to every detail. Tanned and unbelievably slim, she practically floats through the crowd, attracting the eyes of all around her. Girls like her are omnipresent; you see her at every house party, fraternity function and, despite her hangover from the previous night, at Brick Street Bar & Grill on Saturdays.

Everyone knows someone like Taylor. She embodies the Miami University image that so many strive to reach. But obtaining this image has a price.

Taylor starves herself until her hands shake, even under thick mittens. Her face is broken out from purging every White Claw and Trashcan from the weekend before. Her chapped knuckles, sore from forcing herself to vomit, sting when she applies Neosporin to them. As she walks to class on Monday, her skin has an almost translucent, greenish tone in the frigid Ohio winter.

Eating disorders like Taylors are common at Miami.

Rose Marie Ward, associate dean of the graduate school and a specialist in eating disorders and party culture, explained that one in five students at Miami have an eating disorder.

Not only do Miami students exhibit binge eating disorder (BED), the most common eating disorder in the United States, they also experience anorexia nervosa, a disorder that causes an individual to refuse food to lose weight, and bulimia, a disorder characterized by a compulsion to vomit or over-exercise to lose weight.

Even more common on college campuses are undiagnosed disordered eating behaviors. Among these is drunkorexia, a behavioral pattern of starvation, purging, or both that occurs before pre-planned binge drinking.

An eating disorder is something totally different from drunkorexia. An eating disorder is a pervasive part of their life that [sufferers] feel they cant control, Ward said. An eating disorder has to be diagnosed by a clinician. Drunkorexia is more related to alcohol disorders and alcohol use.

With the spread of unattainable body ideals across social media, there has been a rise in disordered eating behavior among college-age people. Miami students are feeling the impact, especially at an intersection with the universitys reputation as a party school.

I do think the label and the celebration of [disordered eating] is more common now, Ward said, explaining that Miami has had the reputation of a party school as long as she has been teaching at the university.

Ward said Miami is an ideal place to study the convergence of disordered eating and party culture because of the so-called Miami image.

You have to come off in a certain way, pass off as a certain way, have to be good looking, Ward said. People are going to make choices about their food, their exercise, because the other part of the Miami image is that you party with no consequences [i.e. weight gain].

The effect of eating disorders extends outside of a clinicians office. The prevalence of disordered eating at Miami is evident at parties and bars. Many women are not afraid to speak openly about these behaviors.

Emerging from a stall in the Brick Street Bar bathroom, the smell of spilled alcohol and vomit fresh in the air, Maddie opened up.

Oh yeah, its pretty normal, the first-year said, gesturing to the toilet behind her. Ill [intentionally vomit] a few times depending on how much [alcohol] I have.

I [intentionally fast] almost every day, Maddie added. Just to make up for [weekend binging]. You have to eat more not to pass out, but you also want to look hot.

Annie, a first-year, nodded as she stood next to Maddie with her eyes locked on the mirror.

[I vomit] to not bloat, she said. You dont want bloating [from alcohol]. I dont drink beer because of that.

Annie admitted that she struggled with an eating disorder beginning in high school and was working on her recovery process.

Its hard here [at Miami], she said. Everyone does it here, so I get triggered, like, all the time.

Others in eating disorder recovery have reported the same feelings.

I relapsed in my first semester, said sophomore Olivia while fumbling with a White Claw in each hand at a Miami fraternity party. It was fucking brutal. If anything, [the disorder] got a ton fucking worse.

Olivia said the culture in some sororities at Miami perpetuates a slim-body standard that requires unhealthy fasting, restriction or purging to maintain.

She admitted that the party culture at Miami has altered her path to recovery.

Olivia now suffers with drunkorexia and deliberately vomits after binge drinking in an effort to prevent weight gain. She acknowledged that her destructive habits have affected her both mentally and physically; even coughing can trigger her to vomit.

Its literally everyone, Olivia said, referring to the number of eating disorder survivors at Miami who relapse.

Shruti Ram Shankar, a Miami clinical psychology doctoral student specializing in eating disorders, said theres a reason that students are struggling with the combination of a drinking and disordered eating culture: people dont acknowledge theres a problem.

Clinically, [drunkorexia] is a real diagnosis which is actually called comorbid eating and substance use disorder, Ram Shankar wrote in an email to The Miami Student. Drinking and dieting are both common in college and pathological behaviors such as abusing alcohol or drugs, restricting your diet or binge-eating can go unnoticed or [be] seen as socially acceptable.

Despite common belief, she explained, drunkorexia and eating disorders arent exclusive to women. The pervasive nature of this issue across every demographic on campus may contribute to the difficulty in acknowledging a problem.

All groups, all gender identities do it to conform [to party culture], Ward said.

Ward identified that disordered eating habits do not differ between men and women, but the factors that lead them to develop disordered eating behaviors are usually different.

People who identify as men are more likely to say theyre [using disordered eating behavior] to increase their buzz, and so theyre not going to drink a lot because [they] get drunk quicker, she said.

Ram Shankar acknowledged this occurrence as well.

Males are less likely to engage in traditional disordered-eating behaviors like vomiting and using laxatives and are more likely than women to engage in bulking, increased caloric intake in order to build muscle, or cutting, which is restricting calories to reduce fat and achieve a more leaner body type, she wrote.

Although many suffer from disordered eating or exercise habits, there is a notable reluctance among men to speak on the issue. The Student reached out to five men in bars and at fraternity parties around campus, but they either did not respond to the questions or did not recognize a problem with disordered eating behaviors among Miami men.

Because eating disorders and drunkorexia are so common at Miami, it can be difficult to recognize when healthy habits become disordered behavior.

Miami Universitys Student Counseling Service and psychology clinic offer support services to students dealing with an eating disorder and mental health issues, including substance abuse. However, Ward doesnt believe its only the administrations responsibility to handle the situation.

As a culture, we need to stop valuing this, she said. [Shifting attitudes is] really us changing the norms on campus. [We] need a culture shift.

GEMMA Collins showed off her slim downed figure in a pair of leggings after using weight loss jabs once again.

The 38-year-old, who has lost three stone in total, struck a pose as she spent last night at Claridges hotel in London.

In the shot, the Diva Forever star is seen wearing a pair of leggings with a matching top and black jacket.

Revealing her natural beauty, she went make-up free and wore her blonde hair lose around her shoulders.

Captioning the shot, she revealed that she wanted to always live in fancy hotels.

She wrote: Sundays @claridgeshotel absolutely beautiful .... theres a magic here. I would love to live in London hotels just like Marilyn Judy and all the big movie stars.

Gemma credits her weight loss to controversial skinny jabs to help her lose weight, especially after the "temptations" of her trip to Dubai last month.

The star recently told her fans: "After the numerous temptations on my holiday to Dubai a few weeks back, I've been desperate to get back on track with my weight ever since!

"Which is why I'm back on the @skinnyjab programme and feeling more determined than ever to stay in shape!

The jabs claim to work by "removing hunger from the equation", while regulating blood sugar levels and helping the body turn excess, stored fat into energy.

Dieters inject an insulin pen-like device into their bellies every day, which is supposed to make them feel more full.

Butexperts have told The Sun the jabs are dangerous and could trigger deadly conditions.

Meanwhile this morning, Gemma headed to Good Morning Britain where she opened up about her tumultuous relationship with James Argent.

Piers Morgan probed her and asked if they are together, to which she replied: "We are. Last time I spoke to him we were. Last night.

"Everything's good ... It's very much on Piers. James are you up out of bed yet? Christmas is coming."

Two-and-a-half weeks after elite runner Mary Cain aired allegations of forced weight loss and public shaming in a Nike-supported running program, she is still calling for a third-party investigation into the matter.

Her op-ed video I Was the Fastest Girl in America for The New York Times had more than six million views as of Monday afternoon. Cain, who signed up with the now-disbanded Nike Oregon Project in 2013, claimed the programs coach Alberto Salazar publicly shamed her for not being thin enough and bred an eating disorder culture. She exited the program in 2016 after allegedly telling Salazar she has been cutting herself as a form of a self-harm, essentially getting no reaction and phoning her parents to share her problems.

In late September, Salazar was handed a four-year ban from the U.S. Anti-Doping Association for orchestrating and facilitating prohibited doping conduct at Nikes Oregon Project. Nike Inc. executives initially stood by Salazar and then back-peddled days later, cutting ties with the former Olympian. In response to Cains video, Nike challenged Cain in a statement issued earlier this month for not raising her concerns in April when she was looking to rejoin the program. The company also announced plans to launch an immediate investigation to hear from former Oregon Project athletes.

But Cain said Friday, I havent heard much more beyond [that and] they dont seem willing to do a third-party investigation even though I called for it. There really hasnt been much change from their platform and position, so there really hasnt been from mine either.

Should Nike commit to a third-party investigation, Cain said she would happily cooperate. As for whether there will be any legal ramifications against Nike, she said, I dont really know going forward. The truth is a lot of that Im keeping closer to my chest.

A Nike spokesman did not acknowledge requests for comment Monday about the status of the investigation, with specific questions including whether there will be a third-party investigation.

Speaking in broader terms, the recent Fordham grad said she is a big believer in Corporate Social Responsibility in that companies are not people. They are made up of people. The individuals within a company should step up in situations like this and really demand change. If they really believe in a product that they are trying to sell, then they should make sure they are doing it responsibly. And they should make sure that the people they are using for advertising and to sell that product are being treated properly.

She added, In situations like this, a brand should step up and say, Hey, we messed up. Lets do a third-party investigation and make sure that we get this right for the future. Thats the responsible thing to do.

From her perspective, internal investigations inhibit athletes from speaking openly because thats their sponsor and how they make money. Cain said. The company has kind of victim-blamed me in a lot of their statements so that will breed mistrust and a little bit of confusion as to what they plan on doing within an investigation and whether it will be taken seriously.

On a typical day Cain runs between six and 14 miles. Her 30-hour weekly training schedule is comparable to her training at the Oregon Project time-wise, but it is more balanced. She spends 10 hours running with the remaining 20 hours related to recovery. Back then it was 30 hours of heavy training. Now there is more recovery work, physical therapy and things that are less intensive, but that are still time commitments, she said.

Asked if she has signed any new endorsement deals, Cain said, Oh, no, no, this is not why I did this. But after the op-ed broke, various brands sent her running gear. Cain declined to identify any of the companies. She said, The biggest thing that Ive appreciated is that a lot of brands have stepped up and sent me stuff. As a professional runner, for many years Ive been given Nike clothes. Its been kind of cool and fun to try something new and to do something that I havent done in six years train in non-Nike gear.

In a study of Division 1 NCAA athletes, more than one-third of female athletes reported attitudes and symptoms placing them at risk for anorexia nervosa, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. Non-athletes are also suffering from eating disorders more than 10 million American women alone. The issue has been an area of great concern in fashion where models livelihoods are tied to their physiques. Council of Fashion Designers of America first zeroed in on the problem in 2007, by circulating its Health Initiative.

All in all, Cain said she never imagined her story would break past the track world, she said. I just honestly assumed that most people were so ingrained within the system that the reaction would be 50-50 positive and negative. I just genuinely did not expect it to have such an international and national reach. Its really hopeful that it did, because it means theres more opportunity for change. But its almost sad that it did, because it shows how systemic it is and how broadly people can empathize and sympathize with such and experiences. It really does transcend sport.

Allowing that being lean and strong can be desirable for performance, Cain emphasized that taking arbitrary numbers just to be skinny does not create strength and power. And it doesnt make a good athlete. The issue with my story was not the fact that I had a coach who wanted me to lose weight. Sometimes athletes are expected to lose weight over the course of the season. But usually they work with a professional nutritionist. Theres not some arbitrary target thats trying to be reached. Its more go through the process train hard, eat well. Maybe weight would fall off, maybe it wont. Rather than almost targeting a look, she said.

Competitive sports like gymnastics, wrestling, long-distance running, figure skating, diving and dancing may have greater risks of eating disorders, since body size is highly scrutinized among some competitors. With figure skaters, ballerinas and runners, there is very much a picturesque view that the coach will put on the board to say you have to look like that. Genetics dont work like that, Cain said. Societal pressures can really force girls to look one specific way, when in reality theres not one way to be good.

Kara Goucher, Yoder Begley and other world-class runners substantiated Cains claims and pledged their support earlier this month. Goucher offered to share her own experiences via social media. Cain has yet to meet with any of them in the past few weeks, due to geographical challenges. It is really cool to know now that I have this almost second team. Ive obviously made a lot of great connections through this, said Cain, adding she periodically receives texts from supporters to see how she is doing.

While some in the media and via social media have challenged The New York Times for not recognizing Cains struggles when she was profiled for a 2015 magazine piece, Cain defended the new outlet. I was so in the system. They kept the door closed on the reporter [Lindsay Crouse], who I worked with so tightly. I was in college at the time and they made it so difficult for her to get in touch with me. Any time they were going to sit down and talk, a coach or somebody had to be in the room. The process was very difficult. The truth is it was a cult and we really didnt let people in behind the closed doors ever, Cain said. I absolutely dont hold anybody accountable for having not known what was going on. At that time, I wasnt even fully vocal with my parents let alone a reporter I didnt know.

She continued, In any situation like this, theres a tendency to cast blame whether its on the victim, family, friends, the sports world, media anything. But its most important to reflect on the fact that this is systemic and yes, in my case, there were certain bad eggs. But the truth is so much of what I went through so many people do. Its about rewriting the general, societal and cultural pressures that we put on people to make sure this doesnt happen again.

Cultural awareness, as in high school and NCAA coaches discussing the issue with their teams to make people feel comfortable about being more open and talking about their experiences, would be a good starting point, according to Cain. Longer-term, educational programs for coaches and athletes are needed, perhaps along the lines of sexual abuse awareness ones that have proven to be effective, she said. By doing so, athletes would recognize instances of abuse before they escalate to remove themselves or to cause the abuser to be removed sooner.

With an undergrad degree in business and having completed her premed requirements, Cains short-term career plans are to pursue running. On a broader sense, she aims to take on advocacy roles for women in sports with the hope of changing the system. Longer-term, Im not quite sure. In so many ways, I just love athletics. It would be really hard for me to pivot outside of the sports world. But I have so many aspirations in that regard that Im just going to let the next few years play out and take it one step at a time, Cain said.

As for whether Cain has any regrets, she said there are always regrets after situations like this. But she reminds herself that some of the issues that she suffered from at the Oregon Project are systemic throughout running. I cant say with confidence that had I not been in the NCAA or gone to another program that some of these issues wouldnt have still been a problem, she said. Based on the reaction of my piece, its really clear that a lot of girls on so many different levels within the sport go through this. My experience was particularly egregious, based on the nature of it being a professional program. But nonetheless, that does not mean it was a one-off take. Its easy to look back and say, Oh, I should have done something sooner or I shouldnt have listened to them. But I believe that everything happens for a reason. Its incredibly sad to reflect upon what happened. But I cant live my life with regret because then you can never move forward.

Regardless of her diet, it's imperative we all remember that Kendall Jenner is naturally thin. Yes, she works out. Of course, she eats brown rice and grilled chicken before fashion week. But regardless, she's able to "cheat" (anyone else find that word cringe-worthy?let women live) and eat pasta, pizza, and fried chicken because her fast metabolism allows for those foods not to immediately show up on her long, lean body.

She deserves credit for looking great and working out hard, but don't beat yourself up if the below information is infuriating to you. Because by no means are we suggesting changing your diet to mirror hers will yield the same body type. We're all differentand that's a good thing. It's why we practice positive affirmations, research food that helps curb anxiety, indulge when we want to, ignore outdated diet tips, and even choose not to weigh ourselves. Even so, it's interesting to hear what she chooses to put into her body.

So here it is: We rounded up a few sound bites and quotes of Kendall Jenner dishing on her favorite foods and how she stays satiated throughout the day.

And says drinking a lot of water is her beauty secret. "I have low blood sugar, so I definitely need things to keep me going (aka lots of food!)," Jenner writes on her app. "Here's what will forever and always make my list: Twix, Justin's Peanut Butter, chips and guac, and hummus and carrots. See, pretty simplejust feed me and I'm ready to go!"

Justin's Classic Peanut Butter ($5)

"I hate cardio," she told us with a laugh. "I'd rather just stand there and lift some weights than run in place." She paused for a moment. "But I'll do it!" Jenner discussed how she mostly favors exercises that work out her abs and her butt, like squats and planks. When she's being healthy, Jenner eats a lot of grilled chicken with rice. "But I love everything unhealthy," she said. "Pizza, fried chickeneverything."

She tells Harper's Bazaar, "I typically eat lean chicken and brown rice, and am always snacking on raw veggies with dip and hummus. I wish I had more time to do grocery shopping because I like picking out my own vegetables."

"I usually start my day off with a cup of [Kusmi] Detox Tea," JennertoldE! News. "I have like 12 cups a day."

Kusmi Tea Detox ($15)

"I'm also obsessed with frozen yogurt," Jenner reveals. "I could eat it every day, but I aim for twice a week to treat myself. I usually get the classic tart flavor from Go Greek.

Jenner's trainer told She Finds the model's breakfast usually "consists of avocado over eggs and a big bowl of oatmeal." Then she snacks on almonds and juice throughout the day.

"I don't cook that much besides my standard eggs, avocado, and toast breakfast, but when I do, I have a few super-simple recipes that I consider my 'specialties,'" Jenner wrote on her app. She says she could eat fettuccine with peas for every meal because she usually has all the ingredients on hand (they include garlic, peas, grated Parmesan, and pasta).

If she's eating out, Jenner loves "Nobu for sushi or Craig's, where I order the vegan spaghetti Bolognese or Margherita pizza. I always make sure to have one or two nights a week out with friends, where I'll get dressed up for dinner and be social."

"People always find it funny that Kenny is on the anti-model diet," Khlo wrote on her app. "She loves burgers and pizza and goes to In-N-Out all the time. Kendall is my go-to girl on cheat day!"

NFL star Tom Brady and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, both have careers that require a healthy body. In order to maintain their figure, the couple notoriously follows a rigid diet with several rules and restrictions. But how does that impact the biggest eating day of the year: Thanksgiving? Do Bundchen and Brady cheat during the holiday or do they remain devoted to their diet?

The whole Brady-Bundchen family, including their two kids, eat a totally organic, vegetable-heavy diet. Allen Campbell, a private-chef who used to work for them, reported to Boston.com that 80 percent of what Brady and Bundchen eat is vegetables.

That also means lots of whole grains, brown rice, quinoa, millet, and beans. The other 20 percent of their diet is lean meats. According to Campbell, he cooks with coconut oil, Himalayan pink salt and uses lots of nutrient-dense foods.

The football star and his model wife also follow several food restrictions: Absolutely no sugar, white flour, dairy, MSG, coffee or caffeine. Surprisingly, Brady also stays away from nightshades because theyre not anti-inflammatory. That means no potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, or eggplant.

The list of foods that Brady and Bundchen avoid is rather long. It would be a challenge to follow a diet like this. So its no surprise that they enlisted a private-chef to help.

Bradys diet is a little stricter than the rest of the family. For example, the kids will eat fruit, but Brady tends to avoid it except for his morning smoothie. However, for the most part, the entire family eats the same foods so that theyre able to sit down to a meal together.

One aspect of his diet that Brady takes very is water. According to Business Insider, he consumes 2.5 gallons of water every day. Brady described his hydration routine in a book detailing his diet, which he called TB12.

Drink at least one-half of your body weight in ounces of water every day, Brady wrote in his book. Thats the minimum. Ideally, youll drink more than that, and with added electrolytes, too.

With a career in the NFL, sometimes Thanksgiving means game day not family meals. But this year, the Patriots are playing the Sunday before. So Brady will be able to spend Thanksgiving day with his family.

But many of the traditional Thanksgiving meals are off the table for Brady and Bundchen because of their strict diet.For example, dont expect to see mashed potatoes or pie on the menu. The former is nightshade and the latter usually has plenty of sugar.

However, turkey is lean meat that Brady shouldnt have a problem with. Other favorites like roasted vegetables, salad, whole wheat bread would be fine as well.

In fact, most Thanksgiving favorites can be made in a healthy way with a little creative thinking. Just dont count on any marshmallows for the sweet potatoes.

Campbell is no longer working with Brady and Bundchen, so he wont be preparing the holiday meal. But considering that they have a combined net worth of $580 million, they certainly could hire one to cook their Thanksgiving dinner since its such an important meal.

However, they may also decide to just make it themselves. It seems thats exactly what the family did in 2016. According to a social media post from Bundchen that year, the couple is very capable of cooking for themselves. In fact, she shared a photo of Brady with a pan of biscuits and wrote that it was Grandmas biscuit recipe.

The biscuits seem to imply that the couple may occasionally cheat on Thanksgiving since white flour wouldnt normally be allowed. When Brady spoke with Mens Health, he admitted that he used to be pretty strict about his diet, but has relaxed a lot in the last couple of years.

If Im craving bacon, I have a piece, Brady said. Same with pizza. You should never restrict what you really want. Were humans, here for one life.

According to Bundchens post, the whole family participated in the meal. In another photo, the kids were shown helping with food prep. They seemed relaxed and laid-back, and its likely that 2019 could be the same way.

There's a reason that the lyrics of Miranda Lambert's biggest hits are all about heartbreak and revenge. Seriouslythe 36-year-old country singer has been through it. But after surviving a very public divorce with Blake Shelton and finding love again with new husband Brendan McLoughlin, she finally realized that "it all comes out in the wash."

Now, Miranda has a noticeably different attitude that's a little less "Kerosene" and a little more "Holy Water." Again, the proof is in her musicbut you can also tell she's happier by the way she looks. In a recent interview with Health, Miranda explained that she's healthier than ever before after reaching a "comfortable place" with her body. Here's everything to know about her diet, exercise routine, and new outlook on life.

You wouldn't know it by looking at Miranda's stunning figure on the red carpet, but staying fit hasn't always been easy for her.

"My whole life, Ive struggled with ups and downs in weight," she said. "Im only 5'4" so weight shows quickly on me."

But now, Miranda is finally at peace with the way she looks.

"I've hit a comfortable place; this is pretty much my size," she continued. "Im a size 6, give or take five pounds, depending on the day."

A lot of celebrities credit their weight loss to certain diets or exercise routinesbut Miranda admits that she's kind of all over the place. And, for her, that's what works.

"I don't have any rhyme or reason to my fitness routine or dieting. Ive been on every diet. Every time I did low-carb, I would gain [the weight] back so quickly," she explained. "Sometimes I have a couple weeks where I just drink beer and eat cheeseburgers. And then Ill go, 'That was fun, but my stuff doesnt fit.' Then Ill spend a month doing Pilates or riding a lot and running."

While Miranda admits that she's "not a runner," her six-pack sporting husband Brendan helps motivate her.

"He does a pity run with me, and then he does his real run. Its sad," she joked. "These days, I just try to feel good about myself and know that Im trying."

Getting up and singing in front of a huge crowd isn't easybut it's even more difficult if you feel bad about yourself. For Miranda, establishing self-confidence has made it easier to perform at her shows.

"It's so good to find your place," she said. "I dont like being onstage worrying about my body. Thats the last thing I want to be thinking about. I don't give my best performance when Im distracted by my insecurities."

Since letting go of heartbreak, Miranda has adopted a new mindset about the way she looks: "Whatever state you're in, youve gotta rock it."
