People Interview April 09... Stevie Size 8?

[Janis_no1]

Hi All,

Just online at NicksFix and link to this People interview http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20269012,00.html


The secret to staying slim is finding a healthy weight you can maintain, says the "Rhiannon" chanteuse, who is now a sleek size 8 and is touring with Fleetwood Mac for the first time in five years. "You don't have to weigh 105 lbs. Weigh 125 lbs. and stay there."

About Stevie being a size 8??? What the! Come on! The only reason i find this wrong is because its false, I don't care that she is not, but i do care about crap being published, however, I think it is the journo saying that, not Stevie... So all is forgiven.. lol

I dunno...she was TINY when I met her last week...and looked AMAZING!! She has lost ALOT and toned so maybe she is a size 8. When she isn't wearing her stage dresses she looks really thin. GO STEVIE!

[Josh2003]

Agreed...watch "Stand Back" from Live in Chicago...she's wearing that short skirt/long blouse and tights...very slimming look for her.

[Regina]

What size do you think she is? And why does it offend you that it's published?

For all the sized -0.2's in Hollywood, I think it's great that a "normal" sized woman is not ashamed to admit it. And she is no more than an 8. Actually, I would have given her a 6.

[flickersticked]

There's no way she's any bigger than an 8. she's really really tiny when you see her in person. I personally think she's gorgeous at any size but she's definitely really small right now. I say good for her for being happy and healthy.

[jedw]

US sizes are obviously VERY different to UK sizes :rolleyes:
not that I know much about either.
I'd have said UK 12 at LEAST, whats that in US sizes ?.. :shrug:

Why am I talkign about this at all. LOL.

new topic, how big are Micks feet.

[Chrislit18]

I'd say she looks smaller than an 8 now actually. I agree with Regina, about a 6 would be right IMO. She is no way a 10/12, as it would show on a tiny woman like Stevie. She looks about the same porportions as a normal sized woman - which would be around a 6.

I'm sorry, I laughed right out loud at "normal sized woman" bit.

A US size 8 is a UK size 12. I can believe she's a UK 12.. she has curvy hips and she is very short

So a 'normal sized woman' is a size 6 (that's a UK 10) ??!! Hmmm...

Get to the gym, Stevie, & start lifting free weights. Don't use Karen as your spotter. Go for smaller repetitions & bigger weights for muscle gain. Try to get rid of some of that flab around your tush by alternating weight lifting with aerobic/cardio activity at high intensity. Make sure your doctor approves of your new regimen before you start. If you feel dizzy or severely out of breath, step off the machine and sit down with your head between your knees until you get your equilibrium back. Practice polite gym etiquette by wiping down the machine after you use it.

Well, according to People Magazine's article, she already does this, with her "Power Plate" machine!

Stevie Nicks is 60 but she still feels like she's on the "edge of 17," thanks to super-efficient Power Plate workouts that have whipped her into incredible shape

[Regina]

So, what is a normal size, huh?
A 2?

Get back to us when you're 60 and see if you feel the same way.

[bellagypsy79]

I used to be a size 8 and I weighed about 135 lbs. I am still trying to get it back.

[darla]

Totally agree Eric,
When I met her last week, she is tiny. When she wears all the layers, Stevie
makes herself look heavier. She does look a size 8. Tiny woman and
beautiful...

[Chrislit18]

I think normal or averaged size is between a 6-10. anywhere in there. Apparently though the average size in the US is a 14? Idk, maybe my ideas are off because I go to highschool with a bunch of anorexic size 2 chicks. :shrug:

Anyways, I don't think Stevie looks THAT big. so yeah, a 6-8 would be about right in my opinion.

Was that directed at me? I wasn't suggesting that a 6 (UK 10) was in any way too big. I was wondering if people really consider a 'normal woman' to be that size. I hear the average size in the UK is a 14 (US 10)

Average in the UK I think is a 14 which is a US 10.

Actually, it wasn't directed at you. But, I probably misunderstood whoever posted originally and then the other poster who laughed at the idea of a size 6 being normal. So, I am sorry.
It's just that I hate when I hear people who are size 2 over here call themselves "pigs." The lowest I've ever gone (in my adult life) was the now-defunct size 9.
And it seems that if you are a normal size (which, I actually would imagine would be a 12-14 in the US), you are somehow a failure as a human being in the self-control department.

Touchy subject but it was just one of those days and I didn't mean to take my snarkiness out on anyone else.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I believe Stevie's a size 8. When I met her last week she is even more smaller in person then on TV and videos. She seems more toned. Also, so what if she is or isnt a size 8?! The world is so bent about weight and sizes and its so annoying.

[Nikolaj]

I was very close at The Mohegan Sun, front row left side, so every time she walked off stage between songs, I really got to see- for certain- she has made tremendous strides in reducing her 'hips'-- i want to say butt, so i will. Her butt is much, much, MUCH smaller, she looked fantastic. She carried a lot of weight there, and whatever her newest regimen is, it is working far better than anything in the past zillion years. Very petite now.

Just wanted to say I laughed because I don't think is a size a "normal woman" is. I think "normal women" come in all shapes and sizes.
