Tyra Banks Sheds 30 Pounds In Five Months
Retired supermodel Tyra Banks has lost 30 pounds in five months after photographs of her beachwear left her in tears on her U.S. TV talk show.
Banks insisted the shots of her in a bikini during a winter break were just taken from a bad angle as she launched a 'So what' campaign on her TV show and urged the tabloids to stop poking fun at stars' weight loss and weight gain.
At one point she broke down on her show, stating, "With all the self-esteem my mom instilled in me, the criticism still hurts."
But the terrible photographs forced Banks to take action - and, after months spent eating right and exercising, she has dropped 30 pounds, according to Life & Style magazine.
An insider tells the publication, "She's eating healthy foods,but they're ones she likes, so she's more apt to maintain her diet."
And she's completely revamped the food that's available to her and guests backstage at her show.

she's so hippocritical. When she was "big" she was bitching about being so confident at her weight. Then she looses weight anyways. Wonder how she's going to talk her way out of this one considering what a big deal she made of accepting your body and size.
It saddens me to be done with a fellow sista, but Tyra, i am done with you. It's funny how she wanted all this sympathy when others were calling her fat despite the fact that she has a show that labels women as fat if they are not 6'0 tall @ 110 pounds. So, she has a show where other women are displaying their weight on their chest. (PS - Tyra never displayed her weight that she claimed to be so proud of.) So, she talks women all over this country into loving themselves, but then she loses 30 pounds. HOW FAKE. I will never watch her show again, nor will I support anything affiliated with her.
Oh, stop the hate. When are we going to stop holding celebrities responsible for how we feel about ourselves? "WAH! I feel betrayed because she lost weight! WAH, WAH, WAH! She's a fake!" Whatever.
Part of loving oneself is TAKING CARE of the body one has. She took that step and lost weight. So what? Maybe she was having health problems. My point is that you know nothing about her or why she chose to go this route. Just because she's a celebrity, doesn't mean she isn't human. Let's face it; we all want to be in the best possible health. That could be what she was striving for and as a result the extra pounds came off. If you want to waste energy by sulking and boycotting everything she does, go ahead because you're just one tiny little drop in the bucket for her. Big loss, I'm sure. *rolls eyes*
Look, no matter what weight she comes in at, I'm gonna still love her, regardless. She's beautiful at 110 lbs. or 210 lbs. to me!! I love you, Tyra. Don't let the haters get you down, and from where I'm standing at, you never do. Sweetie, you are special no matter what weight you are, because weight doesn't matter. It's what you do, day in and day out for others is what counts. keep doing what you're doing, girl.
And you do look great, by the way.

I think it's good that Tyra lost weight. I used to weigh less, but then I gained weight. I keep saying I want to lose 20 or 30 lbs but am still not quite there. So to see a beautiful black female lose 30 lbs and still look healthy lets me know what I should expect when I get there. I expect to feel beautiful and look gorgeous, just as Tyra. So please stop the haterade and be proud of a sista. Good job Tyra, I appreciate you.
You know...honestly, I feel that the people on this blog who are pissed off about her losing weight fit the description of "misery loves company". I am making a bold assumption and saying that those who are angry probably are battling some weight issues themselves, and to see someone like Tyra Banks, VS Supermodel, a little heavier makes them feel redeemed about their body size. But, the minute she decides to lose weight, which by the way is her perogative, tjey criticize her, and label her a fake. How shallow are you ppl for criticizing her? Okay, she was not happy with her weight,so she aggressively took action and lost it, maybe you should change your thinking and take on the same "can do" attitude as Tyra, by being proactive and doing something about what makes you so unhappy!
I think that tyras weight loss is saddening because she went on that whole campaign and told people that she was okay that she was over weight but in reality she wasn't because she shed 30 pounds in 5 months.What does the little girl at home say when she sees that she has lost weight. she has to be skinny too she thinks.We are living in a society that is bombarded by weight loss and looking good.I just think that she shouldn't have done that so what campaign if she was going to loose weight.But money talks and bulls*** walks
I don't think she is fake, but I do think she spoke too soon. She may have been happy heavier, but the producers of "ANTM" were not. In Hollywood, as long as you are accountable to producers, you have to fit their image if you don't want them to walk out.
And, to be honest, I'm happy she lost weight! So many black women are overweight I am relieved to have a role model who isn't. I don't think Tyra considered that either.
Since when is exercise and eating healthy a bad example for a little girl at home, who probably comes home to sit in front of the tv, eat potato chips and not give a second thought to it...not to mention her parents. The fact that Tyra put on a little weight, continued doing her show, continued to be in the public eye, to battle the tabloids, to let people know it's ok if you put on a little weight, it DOES happen, you know. Tyra honestly didn't give a **** what people thought about her. But as a woman, who just like everyone else, has to look in the mirror SEVERAL times a day, she knew where (weight wise) she had once been(supermodel-not the healthiest), she knew where she was up until 6 months ago(about 30 lbs. OVER WEIGHT- AGAIN, clarification for the DUMB PEOPLE, NOT the HEALTHIEST), and Tyra is pretty smart, she knew what a healthy weight for her was....the self control she demonstrated is commendable. How dare people criticize her. How dare people point the finger and say they aren't going to watch her, or not going to support her, or not going to blah blah blah blah blah, shut up!!!! Wow, now we as a society are downing the stars who are actually doing the right things....sad...being over-weight is NOT a healthy way to live people, just as being under weight is not healthy. Tyra is one of the few people in Hollywood who gets it, be yourself, have a healthy exercise plan, eat HEALTHY, and you'll balance out just right...
