It's not so easy to dissect Patrick Swayze's style. We recall him mostly as he looked in movies, the paparazzi not quite so ubiquitous during the height of his career in the late 1980s as they are now.

We remember him in tight T-shirts, the slightly high-waisted jeans, leather jackets -- really not even examples of good 1980s style.

But, damn, he somehow made it look cool.

The waves of hair and the toned body probably had something to do with that. So did the jawline and the smiling eyes -- yeah, he probably knew a thing or two more about life than you did. But he was pleasant and kind; your mother would like him, too.

What teenage girl in 1987 didn't dream about meeting her Johnny Castle, even if he was wearing sort of high-heeled boots?

There was a reason he was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 1991. We'll miss him.

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus acai "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using something different that actually worked. http://cli.gs/GrowLean . When I read about it I could see and understand the science behind it. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm looking younger and feeling better all day.
