She is getting a ton of free publicity and she deserves it. She's worked hard to reach this level. Some people say she's trying to be like Oprah. I hope that's not true. I don't want her to become so far-removed from 'regular' people that loses touch with reality. Somebody needs to stand up for plus-size women and I'm glad it's someone with clout, like Tyra. Full-figured girls have been the stepchild of the fashion industry for waaaaaay too long. And for those who don't have any love for us big girls... I say, "So What!"

She is trying to show that women are not stick thin normally and to be proud of the way you are. Then...I saw pictures online of the contestants for America's Next Top Model. For someone thats trying to show that you don't have to be stick thin...she's not doing a very good job. Most of those girls in the pictures were so skinny it was gross. I don't believe your thighs should be as big as your wrist. I think there were only two pictures that I liked and that was because they had muscle. They weren't just skin and bones. They looked healthy and active. I understand that no one likes to be called names while wearing a swimsuit and trying to relax. I understand why she would want to fight back. But the rest of what she's doing seems more just for publicity because everything else is telling me that she's just like all the others and promoting the frail, waif-like figure.

But I think that she really should be focused on educating all how to achieve a HEALTHY wieght and lifestyle. Instead of saying that it is just ok to be heavier she should discuss on her show that in order to be healthy you need to excersise and choose to eat foods that won't pack on the punds and still fill you up and give nutrition to your body. It is not a so what, that America is populated with so many overweight people. You can be underwieght and unhealthy but don't forget you can be overweight and unhealthy, it's all about willpower, what you choose to say yes to. Maybe instead of shouting to everyone, eat whatever you want you deserve it, your beautiful, she should be saying watch what you eat (don't just pic up that hamburger or fat burrito, choose something like a wrap, salad, or just choose baked foods instead of fried,low fat condiments etc... commmon sense) and keep toned by excersising or just keep active during the day. It's crazy how your metabolism can work with your body when you make these easy adjustments. It really isn't that hard and is still satisfying. Don't try to change the world around you but rather change the way you think of your body, if you feel insecure being a size 10 then do something about it, don't just blow it off, that's not ok. You could feel confident, and not be unhealthy rail thin, just a feel good weight, just by changing a few things. Treat your body with respect and learn to love yourself.

Instead, she is showing HOW MUCH she cares. It seems that she wants to prove that she is NOT fat instead of being at peace with the fact that she has, in fact, gained quite a bit of weight since her modeling days. Poor Ty.

Us big boned women who are tall and aren't supposed to weigh 100 pounds it a great vote of confidence that we are the way that we're supposed to be! People should be happy first and fore most with who they are and not what they look like or how much they weigh. I think that once you've achieved inner peace, the rest will fall into place.

There are so many women out there that need to hear it's ok to not be like a stick. It good to look like a woman and have curves like a woman should. It doesn't matter whether you are stick thin or thick, Tyra is saying it's OK and to love yourself either way. Go Tyra and keep it up. No she isn't trying to be Oprah because she also tries to help people. Is Oprah the only Black host that can help people? Ah No!!! I LOVE Tyra for doing this.

Do you guys, truly believe that layers of FAT and cellulitis are beautiful and sexy? Whom are we trying to fool? Ourselves? What Tyra does is a quick therapy that helps you feel better about yourselves, but what she also does with this show is that she kills your will and desire for perfection! I am an elephant, so what?

She did not come off as being "So what" about the issue. She kept inserting that she didn't gain as much weight as they were saying, only ten pounds. Didn't sound so confidant to me. I took it as, "I am not THAT fat, but if YOU are, so what?" And all this bull about it being okay for her to demand that girls be skinny on ANTM is stupid. Models initially did not have to be rail thin, that phenomena came about during the late 80s and early 90s. So if Tyra wanted to change the industry, she could at least try. Because the fact remains that it is not Tyra young girls are seeing everyday, nor is it Nicole Richie. It is the thin models splashed all over magazines. The ones who are all probably below the healthy weight for their height. Tyra's 160 pounds is healthy for her height. But she just now reached that point. After leaving an industry that is supposed to be in the business of selling physical beauty. I didn't see her saying so what then. And when she gained weight (which she did before 2006), she retired, instead of moving on to plus size modeling. My role model is not Tyra Banks, its the plus size models who decide not to become rail thin, but still pursue their dreams of modeling. They don't sacrifice their health for a bigger paycheck, because at the end of the day they do get paid less. Okay, so I saw the episode where Tyra went on the “Kiss my fat ass” rant.
