I'm almost 5'4" and have bird-bones and a very small frame so my whole youth I was about 105 lbs naturally, without dieting. Now that my metabolism has slowed, at my heaviest I'm about 115 but you would never look at me and think I'm anorexic because my frame is small and I clearly have fleshy hips and a pooch and meat on my bones. When my best friend is 115 she looks like a toothpick, but when I'm 115 I don't at all...and while she might wear a size 0 at 115, I usually wear an 8 (I'm "hippy")...so a lot of it has to do with your body type and frame.

155 is not an acceptable weight if you are 5'4".

I'm 5'9" and 155 is not acceptable for me either.

However if one is coming from 200lbs 155 and 5'4" is a vast improvement.

LOL I'm 175 and 5'6" and it's unacceptable how? I still have sex and guys still flirt with me.

Its fat!!! However, men will sleep with anything, doesnt mean you are hot.

NP here. You are terribly cruel and unkind.
That's much, much worse than being fat. Much worse.

Sad for the stress something like this can put on a body and human heart, but also for the loss of her adorable dimples. Only to be replaced by a dozen wrinkles at age 24.

Also from the yahoo article:

And as for Harper and Michaels's official statement on Frederickson's weight loss, they issued a joint statement via a Harper tweet: "Jillian and I want to take a moment to congratulate all of the BL contestants on their hard work. We're not comfortable commenting on Rachel's journey because we weren't her trainers and weren't given an opportunity to work with her at any point. Any questions about the contestants on the Biggest Loser should be directed to the show's producers."

She says once she left the ranch, she followed the 1,600-calorie-a-day eating plan she'd been given on the show, and began working part-time so she'd have enough time every day to take as many as four exercise classes.

...w....t...f....she switched to part time so she could do FOUR exercise classes per day?

That's what it is supposed to do.

She probably does a lot of squats. I wish my butt looked like hers.

I would lipo it.

Fatty fat is not OK. If you are going to have an eating disorder-be anorexic. We shame the fatties, but we reward the skeletons!

Its not worse than the message they have been saying all along - you can lose weight - if you work out at a dangerous level and constantly, and barely eat. They don't seem to focus on helping people find a balance. Or at least they didn't when I watched it years ago, I can't stand to watch it now. Its always has seemed like a breeding ground for eating and exercising disorders to me.

I understand the crux of my eating problems. That doesn't mean I have good coping skills, even after years of therapy. I try to practice what I've learned. If some normal but upsetting life circumstance happens, I'm back to using the terrible ones. It's comforting.

Gee. Comments like yours are really helpful in a thread about a woman who has obviously developed an eating disorder.
