18. Thank you "K" you took the words right from my mouth! I use to have an eating disorder and barely weighed 100lbs. Everyone kept telling me I looked like a little boy and guys DID NOT find it attractive. I am now 120 and get lots of attention. Skeletons are not hot unless you are still in the closet and like little boys.

20. Even if the picture is a "true" picture, I did like the fact that she said yes, she did put on about 30 lbs and she was ok with that and I admired her for that...but now that she's gotta prove it was taken at a bad angle or whatever, I am disappointed in her.....she's still a beautiful women and her honesty made her even more beautiful but now, just another hypocrite...

21. i totally agree with #2. The Media shows lindsay lohan and nicole richie and mary kate olsen like theyre starving and have to eat something and when they do its a miracle and when they dont they are stalking them like prey to observe if they eat! but some 1 like tyra banks who is gorgeous no matter what is considered a fat ass. wait isnt 161 lbs at 5 ft 10 healthy? omfg according to this bmi calculator: http://www.bariatricedge.com/dtcf/pages/bmi_calculator.htm?WT.srch=1 IT IS!

the media needs to stop making women who actually eat something look like there is something wrong with them

22. Tyra has worked very hard to maintain her body through out all of her super model years....but, now as a retired supermodel, and talkshow host....I think she is trying to ENJOY the simple pleasures in life, a second serving of pie etc.....

SHE IS NO WHERE NEAR FAT.....

And for the insane people that think she is......don't question why we have people like Mary Kate Olsen roaming the world......

161 at 5'10, is the weight she is SUPPOSED to be.....and if you look at both pictures, one of them is OBVIOUSLY EXAGERRATED.....

23. I can't believe that people really think that she's fat. I guess when you live in a world that people like Nicole Richie, and Paris the slut are in a person with curves is considered fat. I would give to have Tyra's body anyday over the skeleton looking Mary Kate Olson. I can't see why people think being pencil thin is sexy. I think they look like they are going to die any minute from starvation. Tell those bitches to get a burger and stop bashing women that look like women and not 12 year old boys. You go Tyra

24. First, let me say, women SHOULD have curves, ROCK ON! But, Tyra is a w(b)itch in person. She's self-absorbed and yes, she's totally fat compared to her heyday. She dissed my daughter, me and other fans at a local event and from what I hear, that is not the first time. She's not that sweet persona you see on television.

25. Leave the woman alone....She looks great and who cares if she put on weight..........This is why girls have issues with there body....Not all woman are a 0...And who would want to be....I love looking like a woman not a man.........

26. I saw Tyra on Larry King last night, it was a great interview. She has been very honest and forthcoming about her weight and size, unlike women like Kirstie Alley and Oprah who can't seem to admit that the scale is closer to 180lbs than it is to 150lbs; at their age they should know better.
Thank you Tyra, I hope you continue to have the courage of your conviction. Many of us women become slaves to the number on the scale, I am proud of her for admitting she was between 140 and 145 pounds on her first Sports Illustrated cover; still slim by normal standards, and just beautiful.
This proves that a women with curves will see it on the scale, it isn't possible for a 5'9 or 5'11 model to be "curvy or voluptous" at 125lbs. It's an illusion perpetuated by television and magazines through airbrushing. So many of these "celebrities" lie about their size and weight, it's tough not to get caught up in the hype regardless of whether we're a 12 year old or a 40 year old who should know better.

Maybe more celebrities will "come out"; Cindy Crawford, a beautiful woman with a great body, at 5'10' has to be at least 140lbs. Halle Berry, at 5'3 must weigh at least 115lbs. Ladies stand up and be proud of your beautiful healthy bodies and weight.

Imagine if Tyra Banks was 140lbs on the cover of SI, simple mathematics tells you that any model/ actress that stands 5'9 or 5'4 and brags that they weigh 125lbs or 110lbs would look extremely emaciated in real life.

28. Tyra -- a great big thank you from my family to you! I have two beautiful daughters, 10 & 12, and in our family we teach them good nutrition, how to eat healthfully, and make sure that exercise is part of the plan. What we don't teach them is "the skinnier the better."

Some of the very dangerously thin celebrities are not only a danger to themselves but to millions who look up to them for a role model. My wife was delighted to find a recent poster of Tyra up on our 12-year old's wall! TYRA -- THANK YOU for being a great role model. Thank you, too, Kate Winslet for all of your efforts. I wish there were more ladies like you.

29. Yum, Yum a second piece of pecan (?) pie. Sounds good to me, Great Dane (#21 above)! Tyra is not fat but she is not "posing" in the top photograph and the way she is standing in the water makes her appear heavier than she is.
I do, however, think her EGO could stand a DIET BIGTIME and if she is as smart as she thinks she is, she will realize she is getting older, her modeling days are OVER and she is at the age where she could start gaining weight very easily and having a hard time getting it off! Just like the rest of us!

30. I could care less if Tyra gains weight, it's her business. However, I am not buying that the picture was taken from an "unflattering angle". She is obviously heavier in the picture than on the show. Maybe if she wanted us to really believe that she is okay with her weight, she shouldn't have lost the extra before donning the suit for tv.

Going on national television in a swimsuit, not to mention her six pages in People magazine doesn't say "I'm fine with my weight", it says "I'm vain and need you all to validate it"!
