    She definitely looks a lot healthier now that she's gained a bit.

    I just hope that she's found a size she's happy at and can maintain it, as opposed to this being the start of becoming overweight again as several of the contestants do. It must be hard to go a show where you're paid to lose the most weight, to living a regular healthy lifestyle.

    I agree!!! Much better! Especially in her face, for me, is very noticeable.

    That is 20 lbs on her?? She looks healthy and radiant! No longer the skeleton she was at the finale. Hopefully she has found a size she is comfortable at and has a healthy relationship with food. I was getting really worried about her being that thin at her height. Good job, Rachel!
  • Waaaaaaaay better now!!!

    I think she looks a lot healthier. Hopefully she's happy with herself at that weight.

    125lbs is considered a "good" weight for her height and build. BMI even had her at 117lbs at LOWEST weight and BMI usually is very conservative when it comes to weight values.
    So yeah the 20lbs looks so much different on her. Now let's see how long she can keep it there. Practically EVERY BL winner has gained a substantial amount of weight back and look NOTHING like their finale. Like most dieting plans, 90% of all BL contestants have regained and the other 10% have keep most of the weight off. Realize there have been more than 250 contestants on the show now.
