Tara Banks called FAT, IS THIS what some folks call FAT?

He Cassandra, It's nothing wrong with a bit of thunder on the thighs.......I would settle for that... N.

Part of my exercise plan is to make sure I keep 'da junk in the trunk' as well as my strong legs.....  We will never advance as a society until we friggin stop labeling people!!!  Especially gorgeous people!!

Chelle, You are so right!! and as one guy mentioned  his wife was had lost too much weight, but he did not want her to lose her butt....he mentioned it started to droop and sag...no wonder women are so scewed up with eating disorders... N.

I've read this issue, and I've seen the pictures and she's not fat. I think any women here would kill to have Tyra's body, shoot if I were that tall ( I would be considered too thin ) I wish I were that tall, being 5'1 doesn't help.

I was reading about this yesterday and just found it ridiculous.  I think she looks better now than she did when she was doing all of her modeling.  It seems to me that she has really taken (trying her best at least) to tell girls and women that healthy is important not skinny.  Good for her. 

Chelle, Exactly, and I might add she looks more approachable, like you wouldn't feel intimidated going up to her and talking to her. You know I remember Oprah did a show after she had lost weight ( they did a show on viewers mail ) A women got up and actually told her, You don't seem nice anymore, and I don't feel like I can relate to you anymore. Oprah was of course hurt ( who wouldn't be? )  In otherwords it goes both ways.

Good for Tyra! Great PR move! I wish more celebs would do this.

I Know I saw this at the store and I was thinking WTF? so I guess I'll   never be skinny in society's eyes..lol shoot she looks so  good, now thats a realistic view of what the majority of women who are not anorexic look like.... so anyway Naomi how have you been? I'm doing fine I'm hanging around the 190-193's lately but thats all good.. slow and steady baby..lol Wendy

Real women have curves, and bones are for dogs, and meat is for MEN.

This is craziness!  I would be happy at her weight and am 9 inches shorter.  I don't think that's just because I've always been heavy either.  Tyra could be gorgeous with 30 more pounds.  Maybe then she'd be a little "jiggly", but now she looks solid.  I don't see any cellulite.  She's got that hourglass many crave.  To get technical, her BMI is still below 25.
