the thing is she's really not fat at all. yea, she may have put on a bit of weight, got a few curves now even, but by no means is she "fat". Thats the thing with being famous though, one little ounce of weight gain and the public immediately give you the "fat" title. Its ridiculous! she's gorgous just the way she is!

IMO, I think it was meant to be ironic, in that the tabloids were calling her fat, yet she's standing there in a bathing suit and looks completely fine (well, great).
It's fantastic that she addressed that tabloid bullshit. There is great importance to being at a healthy weight/BMI/body fat percentage, but what a lot of young hollywood is putting out there is not that. It is unrealistic, unhealthy and just disgusting! I applaud Tyra for presenting a reality. I will admit that IMO a lot of the time Tyra really likes to hear Tyra talk, but in this case there was a good message.
This is not what young girls (or anyone for that matter) need to aspire to.....
There is also the issue of the media wanting to attack Tyra for being too fat, then they turn around and attack the above women for being too thin. There is no "perfect" or "just fine" for the media.

I think Tyra looks more vibrant and healthy than the social X-rays that Mac_Whore posted. I saw a pic of one of the Olsen twins, recently, and she was so drawn, and her skin stretched so tightly over her bones, I thought she was a post-menopausal woman (I'm not kidding!)
I was commenting to my husband the other day, and have come to the conclusion that the fashion industry is about molding women to look a certain way. And these same people are likely to have poodles with perfect haircuts, and topiary hedging. All these women are to them are topiary meatracks, who have to fit a certain form to carry the clothes. It's very dehumanized.
I think it's so sad that so many young girls (including the rolemodels) don't feel like they measure up. I'm glad Tyra is providing a different perspective. Especially when I see her now, with a really healthy weight and a healthy glow. She looks younger than all the skinny skinny girls in their twenties!

I'm more worried that she keeps dropping #s concerning her weight. I swear, she sounds like a cross between an auction and Powerball. OK, Tyra, you've gained, lost, was 150 during the VS era, 140 during the SI era, currently 160, wanna gain a few more....do we really need to know anymore?

The one thing I thought was cool is she said that she would not allow any retouching of her photos after her retirement... just good ol makeup and lighting.

At 5'10 and 160 pounds Tyra is not even fat! I think she's curvy and real looking. She's just not runway skinny anymore and that is okay. If she was a dude would the media make a big deal about her being 5'10 and 160 pounds? I don't think they would. Society puts too much pressure on women about weight and size. I had a surgery about a year and a half ago and i gained about 25 pounds and people treated me so differently. I became invisible. When i started going to the gym and dropped all the weight off i became visible again to certain people. I just wish people would realize that we as women are not defined by our weight and our dress sizes.

That is sad. I agree. You know what I'm thinking? The way she looks now should be what is considered runway-ready.

I thought it was odd how she mentioned her weight at various times, but I'm glad she addressed the absurdity.
Tyra can be crazy sometimes (like when she was doing her undercover reports), but I think her heart is in the right place.

i lo0o0o0ove Tyra...i dont kare if shes too over the top sometimes. Her shows inspire me....shes friggin gorgeous....she is a little on the thick side, but shes healthy and thats all that matters. But sometimes really big people put it out there that its okay to be big and stuff and really, the people that are bigger these days are lazy and unhealthy and stuff and it pisses me off when they say its okay to be big. I think its okay to be healthy and working out and stuff. If you just have curves and stuff thats kool, but being BIG is not okay for me, im sorry. Im into this whole new eat right exercise thing and hopefully i follow through with it. Im not even big to do this, but i just wunna get fit and feel better. Because even if i am a size 5 and look ok, i feel like shit most of the time kuz im so unhealthy, so id rather look and feel better than being big and tired all the time. Hard to explain i guess lol k thats it =-] I LOVE TYRA!

I have a lot of respect for Tyra Banks and have ever since I saw her on Oprah a few years back and she was being very candid about her body. She was talking about having cellulite and just real things that most celebs and models would never talk about. I thought it was very respectable that she was being so honest. Hearing that helps real women and girls not feel so bad about themselves. I think her stating her actual weight is also impressive. Hearing a number makes others not feel so bad about their numbers.
I was actually going to make a post on here about this same subject after catching a little bit of her interview on Larry King last weekend.
I think this whole controversy over her being "fat" is ridiculous. She looks amazing! Hollywood should make more of an outrage over these walking skeletons.
