Nicci Gilbert is the co-executive producer of TV One's top rated new reality show R&B Divas starring Nicci, Faith Evans, Syleena Johnshon, KeKe Wyatt and Monifah but is Nicci about to get the boot...?
She is according to Radar Online. Apparently Ms Nicci is too much a diva and TV One is looking to replace Nic with Kelly Price.
"Despite doing interviews with her whole message of positivity, Nicci was a terror to work with on the show," a source says. "Publicly, she says she wanted this show to be the anti- Housewives, but privately her actions made her a fit for Oxygen's Bad Girls Club."Sources say TV One plans to pay Nicci a producer credit and cancel her talent contract.

Just goes to show that there is alot more that goes on with these shows than meets the eye. I thought Nicci was cool because she was 'under stated' if you will. She admitted that she didn't have the passion to sing, she was spending down time with her husband and that dress that she wore to the baby shower....initially I thought they were playing a game at the baby shower and that she was dressed up. I felt silly when I realized that that was her actual outfit.
I love this show...I hope they work it out...
[her comes the BUT in..5,4,3,2,]
..but I can see totally this report being soo true! LOL! Nicci just gives off "that my-shit-don't-stink vibe!"
I can really see the truth in this post. Her attitude is the filthiest on the show, she's a true control freak. I can imagine the dynamics of her former group Brownstone-I now feel bad for the former members.Smh.
Ewwwwww! Fat, ugly AND dark? YUCK.
@9:08am
You P.O.S!
There is ALWAYS at least one with a nasty uncalled for insult.
HATER!
i hate her energy, i hope its true go away horse mouth bitch!!
I have NO IDEA who this Tub of Lard is…..
She needs to call Jennifer Hudson ASAP
@927..She was the lead singer of the group Brownstone
I wonder...does it make people feel better about their pitiful so called "lives" to degrade and put put strangers down???
I actually like Nicci on the show. KeKe Wyatt and her husband are the most annoying. I can do without them.
@9:38AM I wonder...does it make people feel better about their pitiful so called "lives" to degrade and put put strangers down???

@9:33
Hahaha – Yes yes, I watched one show and they ALL Heavyweights now. This one had the nerve to talk shit to Her Husband about how “Fine” She is…. My jaw hit the ground when I heard that shit. Listen, if your body ain’t right you BUSTED. I’ve said it time and time again, I don’t how you can have your Hair 100%, Your Makeup 100%, Your Show Game 100% Your Clothes 100%, Toes Done, Nails Done and be 70lbs OVERWEIGHT. It just doesn’t compute to me. Eat sensible, healthy and exercise regularly. Who wants a Woman that fills up a dryer with 2 pair of pants??!! You’re not “THICK”, You’re not “HEALTY” You’re not “BIG BONED” YOU’RE FAT. Know your BMI and what it’s supposed to be, make it your business. Take the initiative to changing your life style for the better Let’s stop acting like there isn’t a problem in America with Obesity & Black Women CDC says in 10 Years 82% of ya’ll be Overweight or Obese (Tops Among all Women) Right now 60% are Overweight or Obese (Tops Among Women)
#TruthHurts
OH SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
giving advice when you probably look like 10 miles of bad road in the face.
butta face!
total package, my ass and you're most likely dumb as a box of rocks and manless!
folks KILL me feeling all "superior" chile please!
I have to say it but to done extent RNB THUG is RIGHT... How do u focus on all that.. Hair, nails, shoes and clothes but U bypass a gym??
I'm confused ....
No one is saying be skinny bit damn every big girl is not THICK!!! and we as blk ppl need to stop... Hit a gym
*some
she does need to make friends with an Elliptical machine.. That thing helped me lose 40 lbs.. AND if you lift weights and stop eating sugar and meat, u will be CUT THE FUCK UP.. just put down the doughnut, walk away..
@9:56 "Woman that fills up a dryer with 2 pair of pants" -- funny as hell.
@10:06 "look like 10 miles of bad road in the face." -- Even funnier.
@10:35 "she does need to make friends with an Elliptical machine" - the funniest of them all.
It could be because they're in their early 40's and the weight doesn't come off as easily. But, yes, they've ALL gained a ton of weight and them being in the industry they're in / were in - doesn't make it any better.
Good luck to these women and this reality show...
In the middle ages and through much of the 19th century, being "plump" or "chubby" was considered a sign that you were of the pampered upper classes. You see paintings of both wealthy sitters and unknown models, lingering over their "so fully packed" figures.
There is an area in Africa where heavy women are prized. While women here put on girdles to look skinnier women there pad their asses to make them look huge. In Polynesian society, large women are considered very desirable.
Peter Paul Ruebens (1577-1640) is famous for painting women who are plump and overflowing. Their corpulence showed that they were well-fed, didn't have to do manual labor, and had leisure time. Being fat was equated with being rich. The term "ruebenesque" comes from his name.
The classical cultures of Greece and Rome very much looked down on being fat, though the Romans in particular mention plenty of fat people in writing. The Romans inhereted the Greek idea that physical beauty mirrored inner beauty, and that there were definite ideals of this beauty. Check the art of the Greek classical period (pre-Alexander) to see precisely what the ideal physical form was supposed to be.
Though it isn't a part of the question, having a large penis was in classical times not seen as a gift at all; it was viewed as a gross deformity and a sign that the person so equipped was more animal than human. Hesphaetus/Vulcan is mentioned with this (as well as the additional deformity of a club foot), and the satyrs in Greek art are normally so depitcted along with ugly mashed-in faces and goat horns and legs.
In reference to more modern times, I have heard it said that a little extra weight was percieved as good in that it helped the person tolerate physical stresses like the numerous common diseases and childbirth. Thinness was conncected with frailty and the inability to endure hardships or work.
‘Corpulence’ has always been with us. Just walk through any art museum and check out the chunky chicks that were the sex objects of their day. During the mid-19th century, a woman with plump arms and shoulders was considered beautiful. If your collarbone was visible, you were obviously undernourished. The most consistent desireable shape was that of a female who was plump. No bony protrusions, no obvious muscles, and certainly no ropey veins exposed through the skin (a la Madonna)!
Until the 20th century, women needed CURVES to be considered lovely. And then that scrawny Frenchie Chanel and her ilk went and spoiled everything for us with her shapeless stick clothing and her nasty tan lines!
Granted, being so large you cannot move easily is an issue. But being comfortable in your own body without feeling a need to apologize for your very existence shouldn’t be something imposed upon women who do not fit the artificial, unrealistic physical ‘ideal’ created by marketers to force us to lose weight – in our wallets.
After all, if we were all happy enough with ourselves to just live our lives, who would buy all the diet paraphanelia – the books, the videos, the equipment, the gym memberships, the medical treatments, the spa treatments, the over-the-counter supplements, the special ‘diet’ foods, the special underwear, the tummy-tuck jeans? The anti-fat industry is a multi-billion dollar a year racket. Fashion magazines pimp themselves out to promote the anti-fat industry for one reason – to make money off of women’s (industry imposed) self-loathing.
@10:48
Hahahaha what a foolish excuse. They had NO IDEA about High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Heart Disease etc etc etc. I can’t believe you would even bring up Statues in a Museum!! They also use to burn witches at stakes, stone people to death, Fuck their sisters & brothers, Think the Earth was Flat and other Uncivilized, Uneducated and Unbelievable things. We have the resources, educated and wherewithal in the 21th century to live healthier lives. Please, don’t ever talk about Fat Women from Ancient times please….Hahahahahahahaha
#StopBeingLazy
Nicci may be overweight but she has more talent and business savvy than the assholes talkin sh** about her on this board. Nicci has a husband and children do you? OK she's a diva but who isn't. KeKe's attitude can drive a man to drink DAMN! I hope they go to couples therapy.
With the way the show is formatted around an CD, different singers can be added to the cast for different projects that.
And 10:35
@9:56 if you are a man you are probably fat and plus ugly.. only fat,ugly,and bald men degrade big girls.i bet you have plenty of fatness in your family.. i would not be surprised if the lady who birthed you was or is fat. no offense.men that degrade women for one thing or another have a mama who fits the bill.
Rnb thug...go away you black woman hating cum stain!!
@rnbhomothug
Whether you want to admit it or not, certain societies, past AND present, find bigger women to be beautiful and desirable. Everything else you mentioned is irrelevant. But since you're reflecting on historical health, people of the past were 10x more healthy than we are. Shocking, I know, but in certain parts of the world people of all shapes and sized had no high blood pressure, or insulin resistance (diabetes) or auto-immune diseases because they ate healthy fats and cholesterols, fruits and vegetables were loaded in vitamins and minerals, and there were very few grains (even though the main staple in a far east asian's diet is rice, they consume seaweed and other plants to counter the phytic acid found in rice and other grains, not to mention they soak them), and there were NO genetically modified foods designed to fatten people up.
Hop off your man's penis and do some real research. You might learn something contrary to your sick and twisted views on women and their figures.
I hope not . Nicci doesnt bother me. Just Nicci being Nicci. I love/ respect/ admire these SUPER TALENTED BEAUTIFUL black women and wish them the best/ longevity and much success. They deserve it !! I cant wait for the album!!...
That being said: As a woman who works out 5 days a week for the obvious reasons they do need to insert a workout plan. Being a diva is about being the VERY BEST you can @ all times!!
Also my heart <3 goes out to KeKE. I kno how it feels. Everybody just dont "get over it" ( as a cancer i sure as hell DONT ) when u love truely and deeply with ALL ur <3 and its not returned/ you are betrayed the effects can/ will be overwhemely DEVASTATING as she DEMOSTRATES w/ her obsessive behaviors. I feel her . Its everything BUT EASY. BIG KUDOS to her hubby, Micheal, it takes a very very STRONG / SPECIAL /PATIENT/ " BETTER THAN GOOD MAN " to love her thru her PAIN !! GOD BLESS THEM...
@11:12
Ummm we not talking about certain parts of the WORLD We talking about THE U.S. Ya Fat Fuck. Listen, stop with the EXCUSES, If you could lose weight like you make excuses for being fat we wouldn’t be having this debate.
Lets Talk FACTS, not Bullshit excuses or other parts of the world, ancient times or whatever other flights of fancy or delusional thoughts the come across your pea brain
Y'all need to stop ...
Women in the those centuries also died at 40
And I'm sure being overweight didn't help the cause
I'm a former card carrying member of team chunk
Ive watched my family be hit by high blood pressure
Diabetes and breathing problems...
No one said be RAIL thin, but damn there are yearly issues associated with the weight...
Ppl up here copying and pasting articles... STOP!!!
What was true and perceived to be accurate 500+ yrs ago is BS AND U KNOW IT...
I'm sorry I live circa 2012 and being overweight ISN'T HEALTHY!! especially in the field they are in...
10:47/10:48 lovely history lesson. however, society's beauty ideal changes with time, so a standard of beauty that predominated antiquity is of historical interest but not much else.
beauty is only beautiful because of what it represents AT THAT PLACE AND TIME. a ruebenesque figure no longer represents affluence, so it is no longer beautiful in that sense.
if anything, a physically fit body these days represents wealth and good health, but more importantly discipline.
overweight folk are unlucky, because all of us are at least a little undisciplined about something in which we indulge, but for people who overindulge in food, there's no hiding that.
Big is big and thats what they all are. I hate watching big women eat. So nasty.
And just so ya’ll know, most the Women in My family are FAT. You know why? Cause they have the same twisted sense of reality just like all you Fat Bozo the Clowns. Stop finding comfort in a Twinkie and get off your ass and lose weight FOR YOURSELF. Weird how I get attacked for telling the truth. That’s it, Kill the messenger
so you can hurry back to your Hamburger.
#TeamGrimace
RandB Thus is right about this one. However, what he missed is that it goes both ways.
A lot of our men, women and children are way too over weight. It's like he said, with all of the available information, there is no excuse to not knowing what we should not be eating or drinking. You don't have to go to a gym to work out, take a daily walks, do yoga, etc.
I'll admit depending on where you live, you may have to travel to get healthier food, but have to travel to go to the mall.
Awe....
RnB's boyfriend didn't fuck his ass and suck his mushroom dick as hard as he used to. Say, did your brother finish you off before you did him? I know your incestuous ass loves family dick.
And that's why your mother is cumbucket whore. She can't stand the fact she raised two faggots who fuck each other.
LMAO @AnRnBThug. That 11:52am comment is classic and true. Hahahahahaha!
#TeamGrimace Hahahahaha! Thank you for the laugh.
Moreover, why does AnRNBThug have to be a woman hater because he is telling the truth about obese black women? Is it because he is talking directly to some of ya'll? It is amazing how some folks lie to themselves day after day. If you are fat, go for a damn walk. Stop eating all the damn time. And, stop eating small meals in front of folks then later on go into a dark room and pig out by yourself! You are not fooling anyone. We all know you didn't get fat by eating like
a bird.
#BlackGirlRun
@12:05 True, men and women both...
Co sign 12:05 and RNB thug....
Why when someones disagrees it's always hate or just a gay man who hates blk woman...
Sorry but get over Urself!!! No one has to hate a gender because vein overweight is a problem in our country... Period!!
And like 12:05 said it effects all sides men, women and kids.. So save the lectures on how great it is to be fat or comfortable ... I'm sorry but if Ur 5'5 and weigh 180+ ... Until I see a pic of said person f2f I'm thinking team fat..
Sorry I'm 6'1 and weigh 185... We shouldn't be in the same weight level with a 7" height difference... Something ain't right!!!
#TeamRnB
@12:08 You just let us know you are a fat girl. Put down that hamhock, bacon and mayo sandwich, get off the Internet and go outside for a walk.
@AnRnBThug...why do you care if someone else is fat? Stop judging people based on their weight. Nope, I'm not fat but I wouldn't down a person because they are overweight. Did you ever think some people have medical conditions that cause constant weight gain?
@ANRNBTHUG you talk big shit to not have a pic of YOURSELF in your avi to be so critical you better be a 10 I bet you couldn't even pay a big girl to sleep with you
Here's a question....
Why is it always hate for the blk woman...
But blk woman have no problem going IN on blk men
Usher, TO, Chad or any other famous blk man
Don't believe me read the comments...
So is it safe to assume blk woman who hate on blk men and unloved disgruntled butch lesbians who can't anyone to eat the box??
Being overweight does show a lack of control and can be found unattractive and is unhealthy but at the end of the day you have to be comfortable with yourself --I am fat and rnb comments don't bother me b/c I need to loose weight but while I am working on it / I have a man and I am happy with my life --Im not going to slit my throat b/c some judgemental ninja had something to say... I am well recieved everywhere I go
Good for you 12:25!! I know you'll reach your goal.
in rnb's defense he did not say BLACK WOMEN I find that alot on this site....someone makes a general comment and someone will isolate it to black women/ men...not everything was a racial issue at first until somebody flips it
@12:27 thanks for your support ...I'm trying
@ 12:25... Keep it up, I know how tough it can be to lose the weight
I was 255 before and I know what it's like to push even when Ud rather not!! Keep Ur eyes on Ur prize... Ur goal weight!!!
U will hit it!!!
@12:19
More excuses? There is NO EXCUSE for being Obese
I’m here on Wall Street, I will walk out for lunch at 1pm I GUARANTEE you I will see More Fat Black Women than any other, It’s quite disturbing. I might see ONE Black Woman in (gym) shape in an hour of seeing hundreds of Black Women. But a shit load of White Women in (gym) shape.
Sad part about it is I’M RIGHT, so because the truth hurts so much all the Chubby Checkettes
wanna call me Gay. Ha, nah I ain’t Gay by a long shot, I just don’t like Fat Lazy Black Women.
It does affect me, It affects all the Fat Women in my Family who get diagnosed with all types of
diseases, it affects my insurance rate and it affects our culture.
As far as it going both ways….
I’m going by the CDC Stats. It’s Def Con 4 For ya’ll. and I don’t give a fuck about another Man’s belly. I care about my Sistas :o)
@12:25 I am overweight, too. I think I am about 20 pounds over. I have adjusted very well to a low-fat/carb diet. I am trying a new low-fat, low-carb recipes and enjoying what I eat - IN MODERATION.
But this last 20 pounds is not coming off, and I think that's because I DO NOT EXERCISE. So now that is my new challenge: to walk, swim, dance, whatever I can do.
I just don’t like Fat Lazy Black Women.
12:37
___
Just a quick comment - not all fat black women are lazy. May are hard working women and a lot of the food that's affordable and available for a quick meal is not very healthy and makes it difficult to develop good habits.
@12:44
even more excuses...keep em coming
RnBThug ur message is on point... I took my kids to Sesame Place the other day and I couldn't believe my eyes!!! These chicks had the nerve to have on 2 pieces... I'm a female and being 5 feet even any extra weight looks funny on me... So I found a comfortable weight (115) in my BMW chart and I stick to it... I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink water instead of sugary drinks... I also do NOT drink any alcohol! Come on sisters lets be healthy. I have 3 kids and I want to be around for them and their children...
@ 12:41, change up Ur whole routine...
U have to shock Ur body now because it's used too change
So U have to change it again... I know it sucks
Try an exercise Uve never done or do some research and change up the reps and the intensity... The last 20 will start to slide...
Now for the last 5, Ur on Ur own.. I'm still there too!!! Lmao
Lawd my BMI I meant stupid iPad...
@rnbhomothug
You simple dunce. The point I was making (but completely went over your and your stans' heads) is that beauty comes in all different sizes and shapes. Everyone is not meant to look like a broom with a head you nutcase.
Just because this woman or any woman that doesn't fit the standard simple-minded Americans like you have been brainwashed and conditioned to believe in doesn't mean she is unhealthy, unfit and has low-self esteem.
I know plenty of women (and men for that matter) who are "overweight" and are in the best shape of their life. Because they eat healthy and excersize weekly/daily. The BMI index has changed at least five different times over the course of 20 years. The criteria has changed so much that anyone is considered "overweight" if they are just five pounds out of their supposed "weight range".
You clearly have deep seeded issues with women in general,not just black women. It shows in every single one of your posts. You need to find a couch to lay on and relieve yourself to a shrink because how a woman looks should not affect you...unless you are desperate to be one.
RNB I'm so riding on Ur team
I live in NYC as well and u know
That better food costs more money
Not an excuse... It's a fact
So I agree 12:44
That also means though that kids shouldn't have on designer everything overweight and walkig down the street drinking a pepsi and cheetos at 8 am either..
U can't have it both ways...
Take the Jordan money buy some cheaper sneakers and hit up the Farmers Market with the Jordan money...
I live in Detroit, and I find that if you go to the farmer's market or an ethnic area(i.e. Middle Eastern) grocery store, you can find better foods for cheaper prices. Their markets (that they shop at) are made primarily fresh produce, herbal teas, nuts and very little processed foods.
@12:51
Fatso, so 60% of Black Women are “meant” to be overweight? and 82% a decade from now?
You sound stupid.

FYI I'm not advocating for anyone to be morbidly obese. Everyone's body type is different and what works for some will not work for others. Some people can carry more weight in their lifetime while some can stand to lose a little. I just hate the ignorance from homothug and people like him demonizing ALL people who don't aren't up to his or society's standard of beauty.
@anrnbthug so what do you do to HELP those women in your family? and why does it have to lazy BLACK women do you like lazy women of any race? That is why you get the feedback you get. We can never go anywhere as a people until we enrich ourselves first how can we combat the hate of the world when we hate ourselves?

----------------------------------------
Actually, Faggo, I didn't say anyone was meant to be overweight. What I implied is people have DIFFERENT body types. And some includes being "overweight".
Please seek therapy for your issues. Clearly this pent up anger isn't being relieved by your thai lady boy you ordered off craigslist.
#imdone
I am so glad to see these black posting about living healthy lives b/c we are out there!
Getting back to topic...
Nicci was in one of those early TP plays that made it to DVD. In one of the Extras, Tyler was interviewed and said that this was one of the most challenging casts he ever had (or something of that nature) and that some people would NEVER work with him again. I believe it was Meet the Browns and we see how that turned out.
Folks, we also have to read labels on our food. If you see a bunch or words that you can't pronounce, high amounts of sodium and corn syrup, put that ish back.
The same is true for beauty products. Do some research on the stuff that they push at your local beauty and barber supply. There are natural lines that work great on black hair.
@anrnbthug....who gives a damn? Why do you care, if you aren't dating them or they aren't in your space, what is the big deal? Close your eyes when walking on Wall Street. You think obese people like being that way? I think people can be so harsh and cruel at times. As long as they are law abiding citizens then it shouldn't matter. If they want to live an unhealthy life style then so be it. There is a way of getting your point across without being harsh. No, I do not have a weight problem am 142, 5'6", but I don't let what the next person looks like bother me. I'm pretty sure there is something about you that isn't physically pleasing to everyone's eyes.
There are too many posters on here protesting too much. The facts are the facts: Black women are eating themselves to death. It's just sad to see my Sistas talking about how fine they are being Obese/Overweight.
The truth is, many Black women are emotional eaters, are addicted to food, or a mixture of both. Food addiction is no different than any other addiction with the exception that you actually need food, so it's an issue of moderation instead of cutting it out altogether.
Overall, YOU ALL KNOW YOU'RE FAT!!! Stop the madness. I've been working in health policy for almost two decades. My colleagues and I saw this epidemic of overweight and obesity coming over ten years ago. I told them, Black people are not going to give up their food. It's a serious thing with us.
Unfortunately, type 2 diabetes is going to get you all. No matter how much you talk about loving your fat, how fine you are being overweight, or how offended you get at people stating the obvious. Diabetes will make you come to your senses. Probably through one of it's complications (like heart disease).
You have a problem with food because you're overweight or obese, period. Who do you all think you're fooling?
@ 1:07 since when is this about beauty? Or livin up to societies standard of it??
No one ever said be rail thin or unhealthy...
What I think most ppl are saying is in our community we sometimes wait until we are diagnosed with any disease or condition before we act an do what's necessary..
The catch is alot of these things are preventable... So
Screw society and their standard.. Sit with Ur doctor and figure out a great goal weight and go from there...
We as blk ppl.. Need to hold the mirror up and say "I WILL DO BETTER, cause I KNOW BETTER... it's 2012, we have more information at our finger tips than any other generation yet we are lazy and fat cause we choose to be... It ain't all medicines making us big...
Face it kids aren't active outside, adults use the I'm overworked excuse... Five minutes here and there help..
Sh!t, if U hold Ur stomach in for 10seconds and hold like a crunch.. Ur working out Ur abs right there... And u can watch tv an do that.. So let go of the excuses and get off Ur ass
Daily dosage, read ALL of rnb's post and they stink of hatred for women, more specifically black women. The man has issues, sure he makes a point but he's extremely hateful and you dumb cows encouraging him is not helping...unless this psychotic mother fucker has been co signing himself.
@AnRnBThug
Get 'em homie! The truth hurts.
I used to date a girl who was thick when we started. When she started to put on weight I tried to help her, offered to buy her new clothes if she just worked out on the regular, to pay for part of her gym fees, etc. Nope. She wanted to remain independent. At her age, mid-20s with NO kids, there was no excuse for putting on pounds. So I dropped her. I took one look at her obese mother and saw my future. What man wants to marry a woman with no self-control.
I give a pass to women who have at least two kids. Pregnancy will wreck a woman's body if she is not already in great shape. But even those mamas need to hit the gym if they want to look attractive.
I hate those men who convinced fat chicks that they were thick. Btw, this has nothing to do with color. Truth be told, most other races refuse to date fat girls. Black men are the most tolerant of weight, to our detriment and sometimes shame.
Face it kids aren't active outside, adults use the I'm overworked excuse... Five minutes here and there help..

You never lied! My friend's daughter is nine and has high cholesterol. I'm sure that there are plenty of others out there.
Do you know what I see popping up like liquor stores? Dialysis clinics!!!! If you've ever known anyone with kidney disease, it's no joke.
I believe that a lot of this is the result of bad diet and lack of any type of exercise. I know it's not easy, but we have to do better.
See 1:39 I'm not here As an adult to call ppl names... I'm here hoping that if one person male female gets off their ass and starts incorporating some type of exercise in their daily regime than great...
I don't judge RNB thug or overweight ppl.. He'll check my comments, I'm former team chunk... So I'm speaking from my experience and life.. I cringe when I see young brown kids with soda and doritos on the train at 8 am.. And they too are overweight..
So yes I maybe a dumb cow for encouraging a conversation on health issues... Cause heart disease is real and is also one of the top killers in women.. Blk, white and yellow...

The fluoridated water destroys thyroid function thus slowing metabolism. Fluoride calcifies the the thyroid and stops the intake of iodine, which is the food of the thyroid. High fructose corn syrup causes insulin shock and fatty liver disease, artificial sweeteners disrupt proper sugar metabolism and excitotoxins like Monosodium glutamate (MSG) destroy the brains ability to signal that hunger has been satisfied resulting in overeating.
If you cut those things out of your diet (along with GMO) then you have a chance.
There are 2 types of Cholesterol: good cholesterol (HDL). This is the big and fluffy cholesterol that helps cell growth and maintanance, clear skin, healthy hair, and strong bones. The "bad" cholesterol (LDL) is heavy and dense. It's not so bad in that it acts like the "garbage man" on the blood stream and picks up debris. However it becomes a problem when it's not the right LDL and it cakes up on the walls of the arteries and causes blockage, leading to heart disease, stroke, etc.
HDL's come from healthy fats. The healthy fats are saturated fats from animal fats and naturally occurring oils (coconut, palm, olive, tallow, fish, flaxseed).

5’6 143lbs is overweight. That weight for a Woman contains at least 20%+ Fat. To be healthy you need to be 5’6 125.
Side Note – Any Woman who says 143lbs really means163lbs just something I picked up on in my life,
@1:39

And some of these women walk right into it!!
@rnbthug...what exactly do you do on wall street?
@1:55, I commpletey agree. Everyone please re-read comments at 1:55. Those chemicals are found in most process foods on the market.
Please drink more water. Straight water is the only liquid that flushes out toxins and fat from the body (Google it). Drink less alcohol and upgrade your palate to naturally made and sophisticated low calorie cocktails and wine. They actually taste better. Start with researching your favorite junk or comfort food. The things you will find about your favorite foods would be shocking. Did you know that during the slaughtering process of animals their bodies release toxins into their flesh? Well we take in the toxins every time we eat meat. If you are meat-eater spends the extra money and eat only organic.
RNB Homo Thug...is angry because he has really bad odors coming from his mouth and ass. He is mad because not one women will give him a chance after smelling the funk of forty thousand years permeating from his orifice
To all of the ladies, after a certain age women will have a challenge with maintaining their weight. It is mostly because of hormonal issues which is not your fault. If you have a hormone imbalance, say your body is producing too much estrogen then this may cause weight gain as well. You should see your doctor about having your hormones check out. By using natural progesterone cream found at most health food store (Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe) will help as well. Another contributing factor is your thyroid. If your thyroid is off you will gain more weight even if you eat healthy and exercise. I would suggest consulting your doctor to find your thyroid is working properly. Something as simple as adding Iodine to your diet will naturally correct the problem. Please Google Leptin. It is a natural hormone at all humans have that lets you know when you are full when eating a meal. If this hormone is not working correctly you will be hunger at the time, hence eating more. The processed food that the FDA says is safe to eat has added chemicals and additives that suppress the Leptin hormone. Even foods marketed and healthy or diet have these issues.
Cns ... I heart that Ur a plethora of info... Keep it coming
lol @2:47
If rnb is not a homo he definitely has issues with women. Notice he shares his contempt and hatred for fat WOMEN. Men, women and children are fat all over the world, yet he throws so much vitriol towards women and specifically black women. He claims to be only for "the sistas". He needs show concern for all fat people if he "hates fat" that damn much.
And rather than words of encouragement or sharing information about types of foods, diets and exercise like 1:55 and 2:45, he calls women out of their name as if he knows all (black) women are shoving twinkies and hamhocks down their throats...
@ both 2:57, thank you. It is better to share knowledge than spread hatred.
It is also a good idea to know your BMI and because of recent adjustments the BMI index is a lot more flexible in the weight suggestions and because Black people tend to have bigger and heavier bones this allows us to weigh a little more than other groups and still maintain a healthy body. See Venus and Serena Williams. Based on weight alone they would be considered obese but because of their muscle tone that are actually considered athletic Goddesses. Btw, most doctors and pharmaceutical industry people will not readily share thing information. You are worth more to them when you are sick that when you are healthy. Black women arm yourselves with knowledge and treat your bodies like it is a prized possession.
@cns
I agree about certain types of meats. I think it's important to promote eating free-range chicken and grass-fed beef than grain-fed for the meat-eaters.
Speaking of grains, for those that don't know, grains if not prepared properly can do more harm than good. Grains contain Phytic Acid, a mineral blocker that prevents absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, copper and zinc. This phytic acid is found in the bran of all grains (including cereal, oatmeal, etc) as well as the outer coating of seeds and nuts. Grains can also spike insulin production which can cause the body to hormonally go haywire, and eventually lead to blood sugar imbalances and diabetes. It's important to reduce grain consumption or at least prepare the grains to be consumed (soaking in vinegar is one way).
Ok getting back on point..... It just seems to me that Nicci's attitude stinks to high heaven all day long. It would not surprise me if she is no longer associated with the show. I remember on some of the other board/blogs that it was said that the reason Brownstone broke up was bec of Nicci's foul ass attitude and seeing her on the most recent show, I can see why. She is def a legend in her own mind!
For God sakes, even Faith who rode with Puffy through all her trials, tribulations and Puff stealing all of the Bad Boy money from his money makers back in the day, seem much more extremely humbled!!!!
Nicci, pleae get a clue bec not too many people are going to buy Curvato. Just ask Sheree Whitfield!
@ 1:55... I love you. I do the same thing.
To morbidly obese people...women because I'm a woman. I am thick. I have a 25 inch waist and thick thighs/round butt. Even though my waist says size 5, all of my pants are either 7/8's or 9/10's. That's thick and curvy. I as a person who stays in the gym no matter how much I hate it and works very hard to limit my intake of simple sugars, sugary drinks and eat more fruit veggies, absolutely hate when super obese gargantuan women call themselves "a little thick" or "I'm just curvy".
I sympathize with them but they need to find another cutesy name for being a mountain. Real thick girls never want to be confused for people that look like they're own islands. When I describe myself as curvy its because I'm not skin and bones. I have a healthy athletic body with some boobage and a juicy bottom.
Watching Nicci and her stankness calling her line Curvato...again something that should belong to people like me. When I wear a 9 there is such a huge gap at my waist and the pants fall down until they reach the outermost point on my butt. I would love pants for real curvy girls whose waist is much smaller then their hips thighs and they are nothing close to being fat. Serena Williams is curvy. Gaborey Sidibey is disgustingly grossly fat/overweight.
I think its great to make clothing lines for people with who are extremely fat. I feel sympathy because they are wearing their weakness for bad food outside. When people see fat Black women they automatically assume low income, mcdonalds diet, low class. Being fat is the worse thing you can do to yourself. Unlike RnB thug I know its not all the Black Women's fault. You are raised how you are raised and you only know what you know.
Its not Black Women's fault that the foods they eat are frankenfoods, gmo's and laden with chemicals that inhibit the bodies natural functions. Not to mention the chemicals cause diseases to manifest like cancers, heart disease, IBS and they make you addicted to the food like nicotine. Sugar is an addictive drug. I tried a YMS free diet for candida and I actually had withdrawal symptoms like a crack head a few years ago. Again people don't look at something as innocent as buying a bagel with cream cheese as some criminal activity. Its not. Black Women shouldn't be beat up for having confidence or self love.
However there is a large issue of denial and part of it is just ignorance as to what's really in the foods they grew up on. Once you teach someone about MSG, artificial sweeteners etc...They began to realize its not all them and its not about will power. Habits that take a lifetime to build that you in engage in without thinking can't go away over night. Just because you had your epiphany doesn't make it the same for everyone else at the same time.
That poster @1:55 had the best suggestions...just start there. Its not about will power for the obese. Its about educating and offering solutions. Contrary to popular opinion..Food is a helluva drug moreso then cocaine. So many people die lying in a hospital bed with their death's linked directly to what they consume. Once Black people learn what they are up against and realize its not something that's all their fault or something they should feel guilty about they can educate themselves through the changes they need to make to be their personal best.

Wow while I was yapping on the phone and typing my own mini novel...CNS came in and added lots of value to this thread and echoed many of my own thoughts. Good stuff from Daily Dosage, Whoever added that value packed paragraph at 1:55 and CNS.

People were saying that Nikki was with Sheree's ex husband. Was she? Cause the man I saw looked nothing like that monster that was married to Sheree. As far and Nikki being bitch I could see that. And she is a COW!!
There are yoga poses that will balance out a woman's hormones and activate the thyroid and adrenal glands. The cobra pose, bow pose, locust and fish poses are great for this.
There are also simple twist poses to cleanse the organs.
There are many sites and videos that demonstrate how. You will not master the poses right away, but that's the beauty, you will always challenge yourself. Another tip, always inhale through your nose and let the breath expand your abs. then concentrate on pushing from you abs to exhale through your mouth.
Here's a site to start: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yogapractice/postures.asp
@2:14 Good info, but HDL is the "high-density" and LDL is the "low-density" form. The definitions are reversed in your post. Also, HDL and LDL aren't the actual cholesterol, they transport cholesterol around because it doesn't dissolve in the blood.
Thank you to all of the reasonable commenters above, with love.
There are so many things wrong with the food that is processed in the US that is marketed as safe to eat but is actually causing almost all of the health and weight issues in this country. Btw, the United States cannot even export food products to other countries. You know why, because they won’t allow the chemically laden foods in their country out of fear of all the health problems that come with it. I would suggest reading more food labels and learning what those unpronounceable ingredients actually do to your bodies. You may have a change of heart regarding your favorite foods. Also check out blackgirlsguidetoweightloss.com. A lot of the things I mentioned I learned from her site and she has some really good recipes too. Best wishes to all.
LOL..I knew this post couldn't be this popular..
Nobody wants to work with a person with a bad attitude, unless they're at the top, top, top of their game.
I love the comments on weight and diet!
I have found it VERY helpful to know how many calories there are in the food I eat and how much energy the body utilizes in different activities. For example,
1 tbsp butter: 100 Calories
1 tbsp olive oil: 120 Calories
150-lb person walking at a normal pace burns 5 Calories per minute,
That's the cold hard truth: you have to walk 20 minutes to burn the equivalent of 1 tbsp of butter! Damn!!!
I LOVE cooking with butter and olive oil, but I don't just slap it in the saucepan the way I used to. These days, I keep it at 1/2-1 tsp (3 tsp = 1 tbsp).
Keep Caloric intake < Calories used and you will lose weight!
Knowledge!

Good Cholesterol
Around 1/3 to 1/4 of our blood’s cholesterol is carried by HDL. The higher density lipoproteins carrying this cholesterol are known to be “good” because they actually work to protect against heart disease by counteracting the buildup of LDL. HDL carries cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver where it can then be passed from the body.
Bad Cholesterol
There’s no further gloominess needed to describe bad cholesterol. It’s a major problem due its nature. LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood and slowly builds up on the inner walls of arteries, slowing down blood flow and increasing your risk of heart attack or stroke if a clot were to form. LDL can form thick, hard deposits called plaque which narrow the arteries and make them less flexible – called atherosclerosis.

People who lack will always find another group to pick on. Black, fat, big nose, fivehead, bald-headed, dark, piss-colored, broke, bastard(born out of wedlock) etc. As much as the intended victim may disagree, name-calling hurts. What does ANYONE gain from making someone feel like crap? It speaks volume to one's character. While there are many reasons a person could be overweight, over-eating is likely the #1 issue. As much as blacks are stigmatized, you'd think we'd be a bit less critical of others' perceived shortcomings. Ask yourself: "How does that harm ME?" Frankly, if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem.

5:55 again
...oh and I think Nicci is gorgeous. So does the man who married and had children with her.
@4:41 thanks for sharing the article. i see now - they seem to be using the terms LDL and cholesterol interchangeably. it's a common thing people do when they talk about this stuff, but they should have gotten it right. however, LDL is a protein complex that transports cholesterol and deposits it at cell walls; it's not the actual cholesterol molecule. -4:07
I agree with the posters who call bullshit on R&B Thug. He's been around here for a minute and NEVER misses an opportunity to spit the foulest venom at or about black women. I think he gets off on it. It's disgusting and reeks of emotional issues. I couldn't imagine that he's in a healthy relationship with a woman. He hates them too much.
Anyhoo, calorie counting and tracking your food intake is the easiest and most fool proof way of losing weight. There is a free app called MyFitnessPal that works extremely well. If you're on a weight loss journey, check it out if you have a Smart Phone. If you don't, you can still use the site for free online.
Nikki is Attractive
But we aren't here for cute
This is health related...
Nikki and her husband both
Can stand to lose a few lbs
Especially when U have children
I look back at my weight gain..
It came from depression
My mom is extremely healthy and growing up
We always had salads and veggies
Water was always in the fridge and bottle form
When I decide to have children. ( like age 50)
I want to teach my children that junk food is a treat
Not A LIFESTYLE....
I see ppl are still on looks when majority of the comments
Are here to better our health in our community
R&B was it you or Elove or both who had the mommy issues? I can't remember now, but I do remember one of y'all bitching and moaning on here about mama issues kinda like you are doing now.
Question...
If so many that RNB thug is mysognistic in his dealings
Why entertain him and throw him so much energy??
I'm new here and not sure of his or others ways
It just seems so unnecessary to fuel his fire if U already
Formulated Ur opinion...
@6:41
I actually didn't address him at all, but I did bring up his constant put downs of women. I can't speak for everyone, but many people find it disturbing and unnecessary. We all have fun on here gossiping about celebrities, but he takes it to a whole new level. He makes it very personal and considering that there are MOSTLY black women commenting on this site, of course many of us are going to be offended.
Even if his message is overall 'positive' (which hardly ever happens) he has a way of delivering it in the most hateful, backhanded way. As you said, you're new here - but you will see what I'm saying soon enough.
RNB HomoThug, why won't you just come out of the closet already? Maybe if you were honest about your TRUE sexual orientation, you wouldn't be so angry and hateful towards Black women.
People that keep saying that being so fat your body is deformed looks good is trying to build themselves a bubble to live under where fat people can just be and live happily ever after. You are doing yourself a disservice with that attitude. Especially fat women. Men can somewhat get away with it sometimes but women are harshly discriminated against when morbidly obese. You get lower pay, lower raises and less job offers. You also shrink your dating pool considerably.
You think that every person who is not grossly overweight has a bad personality. Why not be able to choose from a larger pool of gentleman for a potential mate. Why deal with slim pickings or guys who nobody else really wants because of all of their baggage just because you stay super fat. My idea of superfat is anything over a size 18 for Black women because depending on body type because some just carry weight very well and could possibly be in a healthy range though this is still fat.
A little fat or chunky is size 14-18. Average is 7-13. Thin is 3-6 and Super Skinny is 00-2. Anything over size 18 is where you are distorting your natural human make up. If we were supposed to have 2 or 3 necks or 2 or 3 backs, we would have been born with them. Please don't lie to yourself anymore and don't feel alone. Every women at every weight is watching flaws on their physical and looking at things they can improve. Start small. Eliminate sugary drinks and drinks that contain artificial sugars, and walk or dance for 45 minutes just to start. Join sites that teach you how to cook your favorite meals with more veggies and a ton less calories.
Take small steps to arm yourself with knowledge. Don't build a fat bubble to crawl under and live there. Saying you are fat but you're a good mother or some other irrelevant compliment is just creating a false reality for yourself where weight doesn't matter. When you hate your body day in and out or your sitting up in a wheel chair at a young age because your foot was amputated due to gangrene caused by diabetes...you will go back in your mind to all those 2 liter sodas you downed daily and those butter fried fish and chips plates and do things differently. Why spend decades not wanting to go to a pool or beach in an actual bathing suit for stupid food? Why have to ask for seat extenders when you fly? Why be ashamed to eat in front of people outside your little circle? Why keep the quality of your life sucky and then end it early because of stupid food. Find a way to eat what you love in a better way. Use zucchini as pasta or do 3/4 zuchinni/1/4 whole grain whole wheat pasta. If you must drink soda...drink Zevia. See a counselor to help you deal with the mental aspect of making life changes.
Anyone even SUGGESTING that one shouldn't love him/herself if they're overweight may go eat a dick (low-fat one since you're watching your weight). This discussion reeks of ignorance from some of you. Like you REALLY care what a fat person goes through. If you really did, you'd not be here talking sh**.
Absolutely *DEAD* @"go eat a dick (low-fat one since you're watching your weight)."
RNB has issue though. His post whether they hav a "positive" message come across as negative. He sound angry all the time. If I recall he was also the 1st to call people names like "fatso". He has issues with women and to those of u who are new here you will eventually see it.
Instead of providing the necessary information to help people get in good health and shape, he goes of on a negative "I hate this and that" rant. He seems to forget that there are also plenty of black men whom are over weight but that just flys over his head.

14-18 is "chunky"
Hahahaha - THAT'S FUCKIN FAT!!

Uh, that was the point. (minus saying it as a put down with curse words)

It's funny to me how people have all of the advice and thug mentality or screen names and probably can't pay their rent. I bet most the people that look good have not a pot to piss in. People gain weight, people lose weight, at the end of the day it's all dust in the end. Love who you are and worry about yourself. No one has any authority to say what people need to do. In the words of HOv "What you eat don't make me shit" So worry about yourselves and run because stupidity is fleeting and contagious.
Why are we even talking about her size?? Or her being dark skinned. She's ignorant for how she acts towards other people on the show i.e always wanting to be contrary to every idea or thought that isn't her own. But the comments in here are crazy.. Personally I like faith , syleena and keke( even though she has issues) but I dig the there raw honesty . Monifah to me in the finale lost me with how she and nicci were talking to keke.. This chic has not had a single or appearance in forever so she needs to get rid of that diva attitude.
In my opinion, I think that maybe some women unconsciously gain weight, because perhaps, in the midst of them living their everyday life, they have stood back and observed... just how many beautiful, slim and trim, good looking women there are already out here, who seem to have everything good, going on for themselves, & yet.. THEY are STILL SINGLE THEMSELVES, a lot of them!! AND WE STILL DON'T SEE ANY MEN rushing TO really LOVE OR MARRY THEM, or be faithful to any them EITHER!!!
And THEY... are supposed to be the sexy, top of the line, it don't get no better than this, FRESH from the gym type Misses- rich, or not so rich! & even IF some of these TRIM women ARE married...a lot of their husbands...STILL CHEAT on them or mistreat THEM, with "OTHER SLIM and TRIM SEXY WOMEN"!!!
& these same men, don't LOVE OR MARRY the OTHER WOMAN, either, in most cases!!! So the women who are watching, are amazed! & as a result, the side effect causes the women to feel like... why should i even bother! So, maybe secretly, these women feel, that they are better off not having any sex! And they find new joy in gathering together with their girlfriends, who also notice& feel this way too, and then eat & drink & laugh and enjoy each others conversations & company (& NOT in any sexual way either!) and they learn to have fun among themselves, and then unintentionally gain weight due to their pain. & they are
NOT worrying about, or responding to, a man, with his fake interest, & ulterior motives, his bad intentions, and his negative desires, comments or issues and insults! The women may then ask themselves...
Do I want to die emotionally & mentally, OR even from disease (if he is not going to be faithful or satisfied with me), In my efforts to try to please a man, who cannot be pleased?
All women (and men too),should stay physically fit for good health and well-being! But, as women, we also need to realize, that certain types of most men, CANNOT BE PLEASED by ANY woman ...BECAUSE HIS TYPE WANTS to be selfish& stingy, HE WANTS to Sleep with all the women he can, HE WANTS to be mean, evil and cruel! And it is good that he shows this part of his character, because it really is who and what he is!
We need to ignore & do not speak with such men, who feel the constant need to insult us or have a constant weird urge to attack us. Their mission is to keep you in a bad controllable state of mind anyway!
