The way nature intended us to live

Jumping up and down on a box and running around it for 19 seconds at a time is not exactly natural

3 things that immediately stick out and make this unhealthy.

1: losing that amount of weight that quickly is ridiculous. I would not want to be looking under her shirt for big flaps of skin. Also imagine the crappy paleo diet she would have to eat to get there? her liver must be destroyed. If she continues to eat like that she'll wind up dying 20 years early like all those cross fitters .

2: she doesn't look 24. Maybe 36.

3: I love how runners on this form think her bodyweight is attractive. You've been watching too many distance runners and/or looking in the mirror. Her shape is NOT normal and NOT attractive. Gross tiny little butt ewwwww.

What I don't get is the outcry from the traditional media and from social media that she went "too far" in her weight loss. That's absurd. She's healthy now (and not to mention, attractive). If anything, being "too skinny" is ten times more healthy than being too fat.

At 5'5", her 105 lbs is not out of the ordinary for a young, healthy athlete. (She was a competitive swimmer prior to her getting fat.)

She looks awesome, good for her.

I never liked that show and never watched it, because it was all about being fat and out of shape losers.

Their reaction at her success does not surprise me at all.

Now this is skinny/fat

JR,

think you have horrible taste in woman. Her arms look like sticks with skin draped over them and her butt is disgustingly small. Her face is 10 years older than she is. only redeeming quality is athletic looking legs.

I hope you aren't passing on your tastes to your daughters, nieces, sister, female classmates/workmates etc. as they certainly don't need to think this gross looking stick figure is the standard.

It absolutely blows my mind how much your views and tastes can be swayed dependant on the small micro societies (distance running) that people are part of. Since JR constantly peeps and talks to (presumably fun and cool) but way too skinny distance running girls he has been swayed to think this emaciated look is actually attractive.

What a curiosity!

If you have ever had an Eating Disorder you should NEVER have an opinion about others eating situations.

It is like having a sex offender being critical of other sex offenders.

I think she is 5-10 lbs underweight, but that should come as no surprise. The goal of the game was to lose the MOST amount of weight by the final weigh-in episode. She did exactly that.

No different from hitting a racing or fighting weight for competition. She only has to be underweight for one day. My guess is that she will put on a solid 10lbs within the first week after her weigh-in, look healthy again, and she'll be $250,000 richer.

Good for her.

Her head is too big for her body. Some people can be the same height/weight and look proportional. She does not. With that said, she wanted to win and she did so let's hope she resumes healthy behaviors.

"commanding the big bucks"

are you kidding me? Professional runway models are notoriously anorexic and underweight. It is a running joke. I don't even know why I have to write this. Also are you attracted to these runway models? Granted they have pretty faces but disgusting bodies.

Also I don't fault this woman at all for losing all that weight with 250k on the line. I would have totally done the same thing. I would be looking like tom hanks from castaway by the end of it! Doesn't mean it isn't gross. She is way underweight and not attractive in the least.

The problem with runway models is two fold:

1. the designers are gay and prefer boyish frames

2. bodacious curves make the wardrobe look hot but also vulgar, something the designer brands don't want to have associated with their brand.

Agree with you partly here.

What I don't agree with is your stupid "sport" and associated pseudo diet and ridiculous bro cult.

crossfit has to be one of the dumbest activities ever. Hey lets all do very technical olympic lifts for speed and time until we sever our spines! Then we can go eat a bunch of fat and protein until our livers are damaged beyond repair! yay xfit!

(haha sorry not trying to jack this thread I just always have to take a moment to make sure people know how dumb this stupid fad is)

So you are saying that nobody is attracted to these supermodels, but out of the charity of the clothes designers hearts, they are just giving them a bunch of money?

Personally, I think she looks too thin. somewhere else it stated her bmi was 17.5 - if so, that's too low.

the bottom half of her body looks fine but her arms look too thin as does her face.

Also, and this is important, she was photographed wearing full make-up which makes people look a lot better and more well than they really are. The true test would be to see her without make-up.

In my opinion she took it too far, but it's probably better than being that overweight.

She doesn't look like a 10-year-old boy. She looks like a 12-year-old girl with a 35-year-old face. In other words, she'd fit right in on the starting line of any elite distance race.

Now *this* is a woman:

You appear to believe a woman has to be emaciated or a fat tub of s**t. I don't personally like either look. I like a woman who looks like a woman. A woman who weighs 5 lbs less than Shalane Flanagan is scary skinny. Have you ever wondered why women that thin lose their period? It's because nature is telling them you aren't healthy enough to have a baby.

What on earth is a "woman who looks like a woman?"

I'm 5'4" and 105lbs. I have been since high school, and I've never lost my period. This height and weight is normal for me, just as it is for many other women. Putting on weight will not give me "curves," since curves come from bone structure, not the amount of fat somebody has.

This woman (from the Biggest Loser) has curves and definitely does not look like a ten-year-old boy. However, it's worth saying that pre-adolescent boys are probably much healthier than the average American adult, so looking like one should not necessarily be seen as a negative.

I'm so sick of people telling women that they are or are NOT "real" women based upon a one size fits all beauty norm.

Frankly, I'm much more concerned with my speed and endurance than what some anonymous dude thinks about my body because I love running, and I want to be fast. Silly me for thinking others here share that philosophy!

The 5'4 105 sounds light. But she doesn't really weigh 105. That is probably 5-10lbs lighter than what she was 2 days ago. If I was getting weighed with 250k on the line, you can bet that I wouldn't have touched a carb for a week (don't want any water weight) and dehydrated myself like crazy before the weigh in. Anybody else remember the dumb things wrestlers did to lose 5lbs in HS?

"Kevin" on American Idol is actually a chick.

They are given money not because they look good but because they make the CLOTHES look good! Super skinny woman make clothes hang better. If they could show the clothes on hangers they would.
