1. she went from people fat shaming to skinny shaming people are so stupid. There are people that weigh 105 pds naturally and the same way the crowd looked at her when she came out is how they look at others.
2. "Healthy weight loss" should not lead to a below-healthy BMI goal weight, esp. for a young woman w/ no bone density issues (presumably). It was all about the cash payout in the end, IMO. I don't think that the BL is going to come back on again, but I would think that a smart 'rule' would be to disqualify any finalist who drops their weight to what is generally considered an unhealthy low.
3. she's smart. There's no way you can drop 45 pounds in 3 months without some crazy method. TOP from kpop's BigBang dropped similar number of pounds in 4 months, and during that time he ate nothing but zero calorie jelly(they exist) and long hours of working out every day. Rachel probably went breatharian in the last 20 days of the competition, and then quickly resumes eating after getting her money.
4. she's so hot! wow
5. She looks about 135 to 145 pounds here. That's normal. Definitely not 105 pounds anymore. Ideal weight and normal walking weight are not the same thing. Just like a bodybuilder during off season and during contest time.
6. she is my shero
7. I think she looks great and that people shouldn't be worried if she is healthy or not . If she is loving her God dam rockin body then that is her choice. But receiving all this backlash after such a hard journey is so messed up. Rachel has the right to live her life however she wants now she is off the show.
8. she deatroyed her metabolism
9. I had created tried many diets without success in any respect. But now I'm on diet program that is certainly complete. Celebrate people follow some processes that makes weight loss a breeze and efficient. The dietary plan link will be here https://twitter.com/JulietK52720636/status/803574231338512384
10. She looks amazing if you ask me
11. i lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks. i was incarcerated for 2 weeks due to failure to pay. we would be fed 3 times a day, breakfast at 5:30 a.m they usually served milk with grits or a pancake with syrup. then its back to sleep. lunch would be at 12:00 p.m served with milk anything from a hotdog with wheat bread then back to sleep. dinner at 5:30-6:00 always served with vegetables 3 cookies and with either chili mac rice taco or whatever. so we get fed just enough to keep us going through the day. but come around nightime i would suffer starvation. it was hell. i couldnt sleep because i needed food in my stomach. understand that we would be fed elementary school size portions or high school. and i would nothing but lie down because i had no energy to workout. its wasnt until the last 2 days were i began getting use to it and began working out. when the day came for my release i was checked out, weighted, check my lings and everything, and i saw that i had lost 18 lbs. in 2 weeks... after i got out i went straight to rallys bought a big bufford with large fries and coke. then i bought i bout a gram of weed a monster and jammed to my mp3. it was the greatest night of my life... lol anyways its all about how much you eat not what you eat
12. She gained some of the weight back and now is like 130 so she's good now but before was just sad.
13. Naysayers = jealous. Simple as that.
14. how old was she on this video
15. She looks better on this interview. Her face looks nice. WE don't want to get carried away people. Being too thin, is not good either. ~Jesus is Lord~
16. Fat is not beautiful...
17. She actually already looks thicker in this video by about 8 pounds than she did at the finale, lol.
18. here she is looking much better thank God
19. Give her a break! It is so hard to get into the mind set to loose weight and she not only did thiis but bared it all on TV and firmed up her skin by working out and building muscle. Why are people bashing this girl. That is hard, she looks amazing she is happy and We should not judge her. I lost over 50 pds recently and I am still going and when I get to where I am comfortable and feel good, I stop, not where you think I need to stop. That might be with some weight on me or more muscle. However, it is my choice and others should worry about you, not about what this girl is doing. She is 24 and in the prime of her life can enjoy it to the fullest and looks amazing. I am proud of her. You should be as well! Great Job! <3
20. please stop hating on her, I think it is awesome, Rachel is beautiful inside and out. GREAT JOB RACHEL!! LOTS OF LOVE!!
