  • I have to agree with you on this one. I cannot believe how amazing she looks.. Also, there is not 1 piece of sagging skin anywhere on her body!!! How did she do this?? Both of the guys had a ton of loose skin on their arms!! Hers.... Tight as Fort Knox!!

    Y'all DO realize that there is controversy surrounding her weight loss, right? They're saying that she lost so much that she's underweight, according to her BMI. People are not in agreement with the show rewarding her for something that is potentially dangerous to her health and well-being.

    Just thought I'd share that...

    Young women who were previously athletic tend to do well on this show. In my opinion she looked a bit gaunt, but if I were 28 and had a chance at $250K, I would have pushed it too. She can always add some back, and probably will. It really made me rethink my goals, though. Thin is great, but skinny looks icky on women past a certain age.

    Did we step into an alternate reality, or something? :noway:

    Agreed. I hope she gains a few pounds to fill out her face a little better.

    Dear Jillian Micheals,
    Me next! Do me next! Rachel and Jillian standing next to each other looked really similar. I love Jillian's shape and would kill to have it as well.
    :love:

    It's a GAME show for goodness sakes she was in it to win it, she had the most weight loss, so she deserves to win. She worked her butt off "literally"!

    Hee hee...alternate reality. That's a good one.

    As for the loose skin questions - me thinks it's called PLASTIC SURGERY.

    When she left the ranch she was 19% BF and had 121lbs of lean mass and 28.5lbs of fat. Now she is 105lbs. So she lost AT LEAST 30lbs of lean mass IN A MONTH. That is a HUGE amount of lean tissue that she's catabolized in a very short amount of time between the second last episode filming and the finale. Shes not somebody you should look up to, JMO. Losing 45lbs in a month is extreme for anyone, but its ridiculous for someone who was already in a normal weight range. She had to have had a 5000+ deficit a day.
  • I'm sorry. She looked awful. She was quoted as saying she did cardio all day. All. Day. She lost 45 pounds in three months. She lost a ton of muscle.

    That's not good.

    She looks a lot older now that all that fat is gone.

    This lady worked her butt off and lost 155 pounds and now she is getting nothing but negative feedback! Wow really!! Now tell me winning $250K and getting healthy wouldn't motivate you to do the same and WIN IT! Its a competition ppl and what do you join for if it not to win...come on ppl either your to fat or to skinny!! Good for her I support this girl she deserves praise but societys gotta crush her bubble! Well if more ppl would get their butt of the couch and put their time and energy into a great workout instead of knocking someone down after such a big accomplishment maybe obesity wouldn't be an issue in the world! Essshh!!!

    Although I applaud her for the hard work she has done, Lord knows we're all there and without the trainers and experts to tell us how to eat but I'm interested in seeing her a year from now. I don't think she lost the rest of that weight in a healthy manner after she left The Ranch. But I hope she can maintain and keep a healthy weight from now on for herself.

    YES! This exactly! I felt that she may have been unhealthy in losing that much weight in such a short time. I'm currently 154 and had trouble losing 8 pounds in 4 weeks! 45 in 3 months just seems ridiculous!
