Winner of 'Biggest Loser' Rachel Frederickson is Too Skinny & Thin (Looks Anorexic)

Winner of 'Biggest Loser' Rachel Frederickson is Too Skinny & Thin - She's the tiniest "Biggest Loser" winner in history. Fans' jaws dropped when Rachel Frederickson unveiled her thin, 105-pound frame Tuesday night — a drastic change from when she started on the NBC hit weighing 260 pounds. Now viewers are blasting Frederickson for her extreme weight loss, and wondering if the show let her take it too far. But the 24-year-old says her transformation was perfectly healthy. "I am extremely proud of the way I lost the weight on the show," Frederickson, a voiceover artist in Los Angeles, said in a conference call on Wednesday. "I followed the advice and the support of the medical team on 'The Biggest Loser,'" she added. That didn't stop critics — including former contestants — from sounding off on social media. "I thought she was shockingly skinny," Nicole Michalik, who appeared on season 4 of "The Biggest Loser," wrote on Twitter. "You could see her bones." Kim Nielsen, a finalist on season 13, said she was so disturbed she couldn't sleep after watching the show. "And I thought I was too skinny at 'The Biggest Loser' finale," she wrote on Twitter. "That was ridiculous!" Viewers went as far to label Frederickson "anorexic" and "unhealthy." It makes for an odd moment — the former swimmer, who once recalled being so ashamed of her weight she hid from her own family, now being chastised for shedding the pounds. Even trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper appeared shaken by the transformation — their shocked faces frozen in a screenshot circulating on social media. Frederickson, lost 60% of her body weight during about four and a half months on the show. At 5-foot-5 and 105 pounds, that puts her BMI at 17.5 — underweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She appeared on the "Today" show Wednesday, but didn't address the criticism surrounding her new weight. Instead, she talked about how her past as an athlete helped her push through and what she's going to do with the $250,000 prize for winning. "I have this brand new life ahead of me," she said. "I'm probably going to shop a little bit for some new clothes, but then save it and use it for something really special. It's gonna be a great life."

1. Imagine she died so they replaced her with a close enough model but she's too skinny.
2. Everyone who loses 20+ kilos will look older, the same amount of skin people had when they were obese will cover their much smaller bodies after losing fat. That's why even young girls like her will get wrinkles, saggy skin on thighs and stomach. There is not much anyone can do about it.
3. It's easier to gain weight than losing weight. So worry less pls 😂
4. I get why she did it. She was trying to win, and later was going to gain those pounds back the healthy way.
5. From 20 to 50
6. a healthy BMI is 19-24 that's the healthiest range her BMI is like 17 so yes she's not healthy and the show is about health. being underweight is just as dangerous as obesity
7. First people say she's to fat, then she's too skinny. Make up you damn mind.

10. omg will everyone leave her alone at the start of that season when u saw her u were probably in shock because she was overweight now that she lost the weight use are complaining what more do u want from her
11. She's a beautiful girl, and if she's happy that's all that matters, as long as she's not unhealthy. However, I don't think I"m alone here when I say, (Just an observation, I'm not shaming her, promise) but since she dropped most of her body weight off, it added about 15 years or more to her face. She looks much older and weaker. Almost feeble, like an elderly woman..and she's only 24. She's practically a kid. It's a shame. When you dramatically change your body to look like a supermodel's (After losing weight at a dramatic speed) it kind of sucks the youth out of your face. I think it's our bodies' way of saying, "Ok, that's enough. Stop." :(
    
    Update: Just looked up a recent picture of her. Thank goodness, she's back to a healthy weight, and she looks her age again, and much healthier, full of life. Good for her! She doesn't need to change herself to make others happy, but just out of genuine concern, I'm glad to see she's no longer at risk of health issues from being underweight.
12. She became a waliking skeliton
13. her bmi is technically underweight for her height and weight so people are right to think she went too far
14. 5' 5" 105 lbs BMI = 17.5. People aren't overreacting. That's technically underweight. She looks anorexic.
15. She honestly looks fine to me. As long as shes eating well and we can't assume shes not based on her weight. Just like you can't assume someone who is overweight is eating badly.
16. this is stupid, she is happy and her weight isn't overly skinny they are body shaming and it's wrong
17. She looks perfect. Maybe too skinny for America, what? Haters and jealousy everywhere, smh.
18. This is body shaming.. people always are quick to judge the negatives about someone
19. who cares, much of her weight loss for the finale would have been from water loss, after the show in a several days her weight will be back up 10-15lbs so its not as bad as media are making it out to be.  shes a little thin in her upper body but then marathon runners are just as thin.  i just hope she keeps the weight off.  i struggle with weight and fitness but can see the benefits all these biggest loser contestants, they are very fortunate.
