Default Favorite Women's Health Magazine?

I subscribe to all of these, but I was wondering what is everyone's favorite and why. I also subscribe to many other magazines, but I'm curious to know why everyone chooses one over another.

I love Self! Mostly because it includes health and nutrition, plus other things about overall happiness and wellness. It kind of has the perfect balance! Also, a lot of the fitness models are real readers, so that's kind of cool!


And it sort of bothers me that all the cover models for Shape and Fitness are always in bikinis. Nothing wrong with a bikini cover now and again, especially in the summer, but I think it gives the wrong idea about overall health.

I like self too. It seems geared more towards, "normal people" then some of the others. It's always bright and cheerful and an easy read. It's not to intimidating.

My magazine choices tend to be home based (martha stewart living, house and home, canadian home style) or cooking based. I do love a glamor or cosmo mag every now and then - shhhh don't tell!

I find that Women's Health tends to have more information that I can use/didn't know, as compared to the others.

I love magazines... I don't subscribe to quite as many as you Jules, but I get a bunch every month. It's like a little present every month in my mailbox....

I like Fitness and Self. In fact, I just got a new subscription to Fitness. They have really good recipes in them. You can also get their recipes online without a subscription.
