“I WANT SOMEBODY WHO IS KIND AND MAKES ME LAUGH.” FOUR YEARS AGO, SOFIA VERGARA appeared on a Shape cover, and while she may be older now, and is most certainly wiser (wait until you hear what her friends call her), she has also never looked better. Of course, the 42-year-old Colombian-born star has long been the embodiment of sexy—a point illustrated most recently by her much-discussed turn on a revolving pedestal at the Emmys. Today, though, as she struts around a pool in the Hollywood Hills in 6-inch heels and a series of revealing swimsuits, she exudes confidence of a different kind. It’s not just that her legs and derrière are slimmer and her waistline tinier; it’s her demeanor—cool, calm, and happy—that truly grabs the spotlight. Why the transformation?…

{Trends} 1 CLUTCH CLASSICS The vintage-inspired floral cosmetics case in the Paul & Joe Beaute Makeup Collection ($54; b-glowing.com) doubles as an evening bag. Plus, it comes with a shimmery eye shadow that can also be used as a highlighter or bronzer, and an orange-tinted color (not pictured) to give lips and cheeks a hit of hue. 2 LUSH BRUSHES Made with ultra-soft, densely packed fibers (so pigments sit at the surface for streak-free, even coverage) and featuring long, mirrored handles, the Artis Elite Makeup Brush Collection defines luxury. Try the Elite Oval 10 ($62) to sweep on powder, the Elite Oval 6 for eye shadow application ($42), or the Elite Oval 4 ($36; artis brush.com) to seamlessly blend in concealer. 3 SUPER SOAK Break open the bubbly!

Who hasn’t wished they could change something about their looks? These Shape readers realized that their “flaws” are what make them unique. Inspiration “I love my big hairlm” “As a W6, my hlir was so thick and wavy that my grandmother would combth rough the knots with olive oil,” says Roberta. “It took rever, and I hated it.” Her tress dissatisction intensified at puberty, when her hair became curty too. “The girls at school ail had beautifullpng, straight hair—like Jaclyn Smith on Charlie’s Angels-and they called me ’Mop Head.’ So I would set my hair in big curlers, then sit for an hour and a half under the dryer we had at home. Afterward, I’d blow it straight withabrush, wrap it, and sit for another half an hour to keep…

But if you only go slow and steady, you may miss out on a technique that could make you a more efficient exerciser—plus help you burn more calories in less time. “Speed and intervals aren’t just about going faster; by pushing you close to your max heart rate, they also help you work more economically,” says Roy Holmes, a performance specialist at EXOS in San Diego, who’s trained collegiate and professional athletes. “This way, your body will adapt to last longer before maxing out, no matter your sport.” Turn the page for three quick plans that will help you get fast, efficient, and slim.…

GO TURBO {Work It, Mom!} Cool Moves To stay active when the weather outside is frightful, Stephanie Ruhle gets her family in on the fun. PLAYGAMES I’ve been wearing a Jawbone Up tracker for a year, and my sons recently started using my husband’s.

{Slim Pickings} pie Going overboard on this classic holiday dessert is as easy as, well, pie-and some varieties can set you back a whopping 500 calories. But they’re not all total diet-killers, says Isabel Maples, R.D., a Virginia-based dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She suggests choosing pies with fruit fillings—or, if you simply must have a richer one like pecan, cutting yourself a smaller piece. Need help narrowing down your choices? Check out the stats on these favorite Thanksgiving slices.* By Mallory Creveling SLIM DOWN YOUR DIY PIES Use super-ripe fruit to keep your pies sweet without tons of added sugar.

POSTURE PICKME-UP SIT TALL The ergonomic Herman Miller Sayl chair (from $470; hermanmiller.com) ofers fexible support, to help you sit pretty all day long. {Every Day} Feeling blue? Straightening up may help. German researchers had 30 depressed adults sit upright or slouch, then showed them positive or negative words like “beauty” or “exhaustion” and asked them to relate to each one (by imagining a time they felt beautiful or tired). Later, the droopers recalled significantly more negative words than positive ones. That means that when you’re hunched over your desk, you’re more likely to focus on not-so-pleasant memories, like a critique from your boss, than happier moments, such as when she praised you, leaving you feeling discouraged. “Instinctively, when something good happens to you, like getting a raise, you stand…

When Jennifer Parkinson’s doctor broke the news to her in 2005, he didn’t mince words: She had early-onset Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative, incurable disorder of the nervous system. (“The irony of my last name was not lost on me,” she says wryly.) Within 10 years, he went on, the 32-year old mother of two would be confined to a wheelchair, unable to care for her children (then ages 1 and 4), or even for herself. In the face of such news, many people would simply collapse in despair. But Jennifer sat up straight and gave the doctor a diagnosis of her own in return: “I told him I just knew he was wrong. I didn’t listen to what he had to say.” What she did do was learn how to…

WHAT’S THE NUMBER-ONE KILLER OF WORKOUT RESULTS? Boredom, aka the dreaded plateau (where your muscles are yawning, even if you aren’t). We’ve all been there: At first, you’re excited to show up, you start seeing your body change, and then, one day, you can’t motivate yourself to pick up that weight, take yoga, or do another crunch. Any good trainer will tell you that you have to keep changing it up or your attention-challenged muscles will start dozing off in class. To inspire a little kick-in-the-pants action, we asked three top trainers to breathe new life into your yoga, core, and strength routines. With fun gear (some you’ve probably seen, others may be new) and creative moves that will firm you up all over, your brain and body will be…

“ There’s no denying that something that has a chance of reducing wrinkles, tightening saggy skin, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, strengthening bones, and boosting mood, while giving you plenty of energy, is... at the very least... irresistible. ” When the famed Dr. Oz asked his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right now?” and, after referencing the SeroVital®-hgh clinical trial, added, “I have been searching for this from the day we started the show. I’ve been looking for ways of increasing hGH naturally because I don’t like getting the injections,” the sales of SeroVital (the patented hGH-boosting oral supplement) skyrocketed. The belief that injections of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) may help reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten…

Give Thanks Thanksgiving is upon us, the time of year when our thoughts turn to the gifts for which we’re most grateful: family, friends, and (because we took our own fitness advice) thinner thighs and flatter abs! But at the risk of sounding greedy, there were a few other goodies we wanted—and knew you would too. So we tasked ourselves with finding a host of time-saving beauty tricks (including an easy way to discover your perfect red lipstick on page 37), a bounty of delicious recipes featuring seasonal super foods (page 158), a wealth of slim-down secrets (page 65), and a killer calorie-burning workout (page 88). Considering that heart disease is the number-one cause of death among women, it also seemed important to address the topic in every issue. So…

Yea Sofia Vergara hit the genetic mother lode; killer curves in all the right places, jaw-dropping beauty, and that hair! But that doesn’t mean she coasts. “Sofia trains hard and lifts heavy weights,” says Jennifer Yates, a Lagree Fitness master trainer and owner of Studio Metamorphosis in Pasadena, CA, who has worked with the Modern Family star for a year now. “She understands that you have to challenge yourself to see a difference.” The duo works out five or six days a week for at least hour. “Sofia likes the Lagree Method because she sees results quickly, and it’s easy on her joints while still being high-intensity,” says Yates. It’s a Pilates-inspired workout that uses an amped-up reformer called a Megaformer, a machine with a sliding platform that’s outfitted with…

COUNTRY BOY Nature is a major source of inspiration for Yadim, who says he fell in love with “majestic and lush” Wyoming (above) on a recent visit. “The pace was so much different than [my hometown] New York City, so it really helped me to disconnect and refuel my creativity.” MAGIC WAND “Brows are having a moment right now,” states Yadim. “Don’t be afraid to play them up!” His arsenal contains the ergonomically designed…

Beauty 1 QUICK CLEAN Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush ($90; clinique.com) Bells and whistles: This gadget offers a thorough sweep in 30 seconds with its dual-sectioned bristles. The green tip boasts stiffer, shorter fibers and is slanted for hard-to-reach areas. The soft, white bristles are ideal for delicate spots, like your cheeks. Road-test report: Those who had used other brushes— which generally shut off after one to two minutes— praised the time-saving aspect: “I wasn’t used to washing my face so quickly, but my skin still felt clean,” says senior designer Alan Boccadoro.

Roll Away Flab Even on the best days, your exercise routine occupies a precarious position on your calendar. Once November hits, it becomes an almost constant battle among parties, family commitments, travel obligations, and some good, high-quality sweat time. We’ve all heard that inner ’voice whisper, “How can I miss my workout again?” This year you won’t have to, thanks to the speedy plan designed by master trainer Tami Reilly, associate athletic director for fitness and wellness at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. You can do it at home, and all you need is one fun prop: a cushiony medicine ball (Reilly is a master instructor for Ugi, the ball shown here). Why go soft? “Unlike the hard-rubber versions, you can sit, stand, and kneel on it, so it’s more…

Busted! , 3 Top Workout Mistakes Don’t let these common exercise slipups sabotage you r results. My easy fixes can help you avoid injury and tone all over. MISTAKE #1 Being afraid of “men’s” weights Many barbell and free-weight moves mimic everyday ones (carrying bags, picking up a child, opening a door) the way machine-based moves that tend to isolate a single muscle can’t. Don’t worry about bulking up: Most women don’t have near the amount of testosterone needed to build big, bulky muscles. THE FIX: Grab 12-pounders instead of 5s (but don’t be afraid of 20s if you have the strength!). Try deadlifts with a barbell versus dumbbells. It’s okay if you need to do fewer reps. Adding weight will tone you up in less time MISTAKE #2 Bad…

Protein Power FOCUS ON FRESH FOODS. S-L-O-W D-O-W-N In findings that give new meaning to the phrase “fast food,” two studies show that the speed at which you eat can affect your diet’s bottom line. And—you guessed it— “fast” is not the favored rate. Eating slowly helps with weight loss in two ways: 1 You’ll eat less. It makes intuitive sense, and a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition confirms it: People who spend more time with their food end up taking in fewer calories. The authors speculate that tasting food for an extended period of time may trigger satiety hormones— and thus make people put down the fork— whereas fast eaters may wolf down the whole plateful before a sense of satisfaction has time to set…

Vitamin O HELP YOUR HEART The more you orgasm each month, the greater your heart-rate variability, a marker of cardiovascular health and overall physical fitness, found a study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. (Men only get the effects when they climax during sex; for women, an orgasm by any means will do.) TAME TENSION The region of the brain that controls emotions like fear shows decreased activity during climax, according to researchers from Groningen University. What’s more, the surge in feel-good neuro-chemicals that occurs during your big finish can help encourage lingering bliss. SMARTEN UP Using functional MRI scans, Rutgers University scientists found that when women get off, blood flow to all areas of the brain increases. “Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to neurons, and that nourishes the health…

{Success Story} Michelle Maig ret-Lefstein thought her weight had hit an all-time high when she stepped on the scale at age 29 and it read 175. Over the next 15 years, though, as she battled one setback after another and her weight continued rising, she recalled that “high” with nostalgia— and wondered f she would ever reach it again. LOST 73 lbs NAME: Michelle Maigret-Lefstein AGE: 45 HEIGHT: 5’7” HOME: Fort Lee, NJ STARTING WEIGHT: 210 pounds CURRENT WEIGHT: 137 pounds Thin as a child, Michelle started packing on pounds in junior high school, when she lost interest in gymnastics, swimming, and basketball. She took up running in her 20s to slim down but still found herself stuck in a cycle of losing and regaining the same 25 pounds—in part,…

Winter Squash BENEFITS Squash may taste candy-sweet, but it’s quite nutritious. Like other orange and yellow vegetables, it’s a great source of carotenoids, which help protect against heart disease and some cancers. Thanks to almost 6 grams of filling fiber per cup of baked squash, it can also help keep your digestive system running smoothly and your weight under control. SERVE Delicata is sweeter than acorn squash, and you can eat the peel. Try steaming and roasting different varieties and adding them to salads or grain dishes. Save the seeds! They’re delicious and rich in healthy fats. Chili-Roasted Squash With Queso Fresco Serves: 4 Cook time: 25 minutes Total time: 35 minutes 11/2 pounds acorn or delicata squash 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon maple syrup…

“I love hair products that make it easy to create a nice, simple, not-too-done look, because for me, that’s what it’s always about. I like using the Living Proof line, especially the new Instant Texture Mist-it gives that beachy wave but still leaves hair healthy and silky, not sticky.” “When I’m hosting a dinner party, I often do a pizza night-we set up a station where you can make your own pie, and then we throw them in the big oven. I also do Mexican buffets, which are delicious. But if’s more about the fun of just getting a great group of people together and entertaining.” “In Hollywood, you can gets wept up in a world of ’yes’ men-and that’s very dangerous.

KISS OFF Applying red lipstick makes women feel more confident, sexy, and in control, according to a British survey Find Your True Hue Beauty Ready to reach for red? Avon global celebrity makeup artist Lauren Andersen shares the four most important things to consider before biting the bullet. SKIN COLOR If your skin has warmer undertones (think yellow or olive), reds with a hint of orange tend to be more flattering. On the flip side, those with cooler skin tones typically look best in bluish or pinkish reds. TOOTH SHADE Warm tones bring out yellow in your teeth; cool hues make them look brighter. If you have a stained smile—even if your skin is warm—move toward the cooler side of the spectrum. LIP SIZE A shiny formula creates the illusion…

No matter how joyous your pregnancy, it is impossible to not ask yourself the question, “Will my body ever get back to normal?” Generally, my answer is “almost.” So many women ask what can be done about the little belly they just can’t seem to lose after childbirth. I can find no scientific explanation for that persistent bulge of abdominal fat that can’t be dieted or exercised away; it’s one of those things that “just is.” As we age, women and men alike have the tendency to accumulate fat in a horizontal figure eight pattern, but pregnancy speeds up the process. Obviously, there are a host of other physical changes secondary to pregnancy, but the post-pregnancy pooch is perhaps the most ubiquitous of all. It is also, believe it or…

BUILD YOUR BROW ARSENAL Not all brow-enhancing products are created equal, says NYC-based celebrity brow expert and makeup artist Ramy Gafni. If you have thin brows with very few fine hairs, build them up with a tinted pomade or wax: “Both are dense and pigmented, and adhere well to skin,” he explains. “You can create a brow, even when there’s little hair to work with.” Bonus: These formulas also have the most staying power. Try (1) Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade ($18; anastasia beverlyhills.com). For those whose arches are thicker but require definition, a powder or pencil is the best choice for natural-looking fullness. Our pick: (2) Kelley Baker Brow Powder ($20; kelleybakerbrows.com). And for those born with bushy brows, a clear gel, like (3) Sonia Kashuk Brow Gel ($6; target.com), tames…

Master Classes GO STRONG Just getting in the swing of things? A racket made for power versus control can help you hit more forcefully. GEAR UP Don’t worry about buying new “tennis whites” before you hit the court—the Williams sisters are proof that you can wear anything. But do choose your gear carefully: The right racket can make your aim more accurate, and tennisspecific shoes prevent slipping during lateral movement. A. SOLE MATE The stiff, grippy tread on these New Balance 996 sneakers ($100; newbalance.com) helps you shuffle laterally, and thin rubber on the upper keeps your foot in place. B. SWEET SPOT If you already have power in your swing, the Babolat E-Sense Comp racket ($99; babolat.us) has weight shifted toward the handle, adding control and helping you place…

{Cardio Fast Lane} USE YOUR LEG STRENGTH Press into the foot pads as you straighten your legs, lean back, and pull the handlebar to the base of your sternum.

ACID TEST Preserving veggies with vinegar is a natural-and colorful-way to keep them fresh. {New} The Virtues of Vinegar Scientists and chefs alike are lavishing attention on the tart liquid these days, thanks to both its nutritional and culinary assets. Turkish researchers recently published a review of studies on vinegar, detailing its high antioxidant levels, antimicrobial properties, and potential weight stabilizing effects. (Some research suggests that adding it to a meal may improve insulin response and increase satiety, which could help ward off diabetes and extra pounds.) As for vinegar’s kitchen uses, in addition to its pickling power, a drizzle from a high-quality bottle can make flavors pop in the same way salt does, without the added sodium, says California Health & Longevity Institute nutritionist Paulette Lambert, R.D. “It’s an…

A happy person by nature, Summer was anything but when it came time for her daily wardrobe decisions. “It was terrible,” said Summer, who described herself as an “ugly duckling” during her most awkward phase. Terrible, that is, until Summer had finally had enough and decided to do something about it,…

See Clearly, Now FIGHT THE FOG Choosing contacts with a yellow or orange tint can help you see more clearly in the snow—and therefore dodge spills on the slopes. Best for… Skiers & Cyclists Contacts need to sit on a film of tears in order to be worn safely and comfortably, so sports that dry out the eye—like skiing and cycling—can pose a problem. If you struggle with dry eye while doing these activities, optometrist Graham Erickson, a professor at the Pacific University College of Optometry in Portland, OR, says to ask about gas-permeable contacts. They’re made from a more rigid plastic than soft options and don’t absorb moisture, which can ease dry eye. If you prefer a softer lens, Erickson suggests trying out a moisture-retaining type (like 1-Day Acuvue…
