1. Whoa. This is a recent pic? Sure doesn't look like her commercials.

2. I didn't think she looked good on Oprah, if you are going to do it, do it for real. She had a "blanket" hiding her legs.

3. It is just a bad pic of her - messed up hair - no makeup just adds to the shock value of the photo. She wasn't that slim on Oprah - did a lot of covering up there with a shawl. Kudos to her for shedding weight, anyway.

4. YIKES !!! What the hell ? Man did she gain that weight back quick. I noticed on the Oprah appearance she was wearing " a BODY NYLON STOCKING ". It must have been " holding in the areas of FAT to make her appear " Thinner " Surly no one can gain that weight back that quickly. Looks to me like she's just gone back to her " old eating habits ". She's just one of those poeple who uses food like a "DRUG". Too bad she couldn't rub a little of that off on " Nicole RIchie "

5. No one over 50 pounds should wear those velvety pants. They add bumps and wrinkles and heaven knows what else.

8. I like her, and I don't give a crap what she weighs.

9. She's still beautiful....and all you ppl hating on her for looking fat are probably skinny. I would much rather look like her then nicole ritchie.

10. Maybe she should revist her old coke-snorting days on Cheers. That would keep the weight at bay.

11. This is an old picture...I've seen it in People magazine before.
I think someone is pulling your leg, saying this is a recent picture!

12. The woman is in her 50s,giver her a break.
Sweats look good on no one, except maybe Paris Hilton. But she is 5'8" and weighs only 110 lbs. On all others, this fabric is bulk-producing.

13. Kristie is a nice woman,i think that everyone shold just leave her alnoe.this is a bad pic. she has on baggy clothes.but who cares.everyone in the world isn' a size 0-5.

14. Would you rather she weighed 85lbs?? Who cares. I like her for her, not for what she weighs..why can't people just get over this weight issue.

15. KATHRYN:

You are sooo right!!! I caught A LOT of heat from other posters when I said she didn't look good (and wasn't at a healthy weight) on her Oprah appearance.

To reiterate for all the posters who got upset the first time around:

She is not at a healthy weight.

She doesn't look good.

If she IS in any way representative of the AVERAGE American woman, than that DOES NOT mean it is healthy to be her size. All it means is that the average American woman needs to put on a pair of running shoes and hit a treadmill!

IF you "kinda" look like her, you really should not be on the computer getting worked-up everytime someone tells you what you already know is the truth. You should be in a gym working out!

(That's also what your husband/MD/person behind you in line at the store/etc is thinking, by the way!).

BRING IT ON!
