I think its great that she lashing back against her critics and proving that you don’t have to be a size 2 to be beautiful. However, the sad part is that after all is said and done – and after she tells the world its ok to have curves, she will go and lose the 30 lbs.

!!!

TYRA IS NORMAL NOW! I bet you that she will lose weight now because all of this and go back to too skinny!

I really loved it when Tyra said she still felt hot at 161 lbs. I am close to that weight myself and when people say that I am obese or “porky”, it really hurts inside. It is so nice to have someone of her celebrity status defend girls of my wieght level! She is the kind of person that relaizes that innner beauty is what really matters. Tyra, YOU ROCK!!!

Tyra is not fat and looks good BUT TYRA SUCKS!!!!She thinks she knows everything!Her talk show is so bad! ANTM is good but that is because you don’t see her on the show the whole time

This story is the exact mirror image of the anorexic story all the tabloid rags but out. No wonder celebrities are so confused about how they should look. We are creating this problem by supporting the tabs that over scrutinize the boddies of the famous people. God help us!!

Liv

I think she looks great, as usual. She is a top model in every way!

The only way we will believe you are happy with your body is if you do not go on a diet and lose the weight. Stars always say I am heavy and happy and then they go on a diet. Actions speak louder than words. You are beautiful, do live it!

I think Los Angeles is a ridiculous, shallow city full of ridiculous, silly people. It’s almost laughable to see how much Hollywood celebs care about maintaining a stick thin body image. It shows true insecurity on their parts. They are maintaining an unrealistic and in most cases an unhealthy body ideal. They overdo it at the gym and resort to eating one salad a day or some utterly ridiculous amount of food. Why do they think it’s so pretty to look like you are starving to death? The common American woman does not look at those magazines with the deathly skinny celebrity on the cover and think wow she’s beautiful. Tyra is setting a good example for other celebrities to just be themselves instead of being what everyone else expects them to be. She is truly a confident woman, confident in herself and secure with who she is as a person. She shouldn’t try and change her body because of the recent tabloid garbage she should be true to herself and where she is most comfortable in her own skin, that’s all that matters.

I can not believe what I am reading. I am the same height and weight of Tyra. I am 52 years old and the Mother of 2 grown boys 20 and 24. I think I look great I almost fell out when I read they call her FAT. There is nothing fat about me. I also use to weigh 125 and all I ever heard was how skinny I was. Someone please tell me what is the perfect weight….
