I know this is from May but I still found it interesting.

Basically, being 5-10 pounds overweight will actually let you live longer than if you are the 'perfect' weight or underweight. Obviously, obesity is still a killer....but not as big a one as they originally thought.
So ladies don't worry about those last 'vanity' pounds. Just laugh and know you'll live longer cuz they are there.
