The results show: her 5-ft. 8˝-in., 127-lb. frame has only 8% body fat (a woman of average size carries about 20%). "Men have always loved my body," says Donnelly. "My boyfriend loves to show it off.

A schoolteacher in Los Angeles developed herpes blisters on her genitals and legs a month before her scheduled wedding. Her fiancé, who had given her the disease, walked out. So did a later boyfriend. "Now I don't tell anybody, and I won't unless I'm having a serious relationship," she says. "What am I supposed to do, say 'How do you do, my name's Ilene, I have herpes'?"
