Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
She could be 161....weight looks different on every person. I am 5'4, 120. When I am 115, I look like death. I think she looks good. I'm sure she's had some things airbrushed (cellulite, marks or veins, etc) but she's pretty and healthy.

Sorry, but in the modeling industry EVERYONE increases their height and decreases their weight to make themselves more marketable. When I modeled a longggg time ago my agency increased my height by 1.5 inches and decreased my weight by 10 lbs on my comp card...it's just the way it goes in the industry.
I didn't know you modeled!!! WOW!!! I want to see pics, woman! 
omg never. i was like 13 years old. dh laughs at the pics.

When I was 12 I modeled for a dance costume catalog. It was funny stuff. I did it for a few years and then when I got into my teens they didn't call me again. ha!

She looks great. I'd love to be 5'10" and 161. Shoot I'd love to be 5'5" and 161.
Let's be nice ladies -- damned if you do, damned if you don't it seems.
I agree!

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
I think she looks good. I can see her being only 161 and if if she isn't she is only fooling herself really. What reason does she have to lie? Everyone holds their weight differently. People just need to find fault and be so critical of other people's weight.

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
As for how Banks feels about her own 5'10" body – which she says is at 161 lbs. these days, about 30 lbs. heavier than when she landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue in 1997
Yeah, right!! No way is she 161, AT LEAST 180! And I am sorry to say, she hasn't been loking all that hot lately...

So, you're saying that she was AT LEAST 150 lbs when she posed for SI?
If I gave you a photo of me and told you my height, I GUARANTEE you are wrong about my weight....

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight

there was an older actress- the one in freaky friday- she went in people w/o air brushing
I think if you are going to make a statement like that- they you need to take it all the way
Jaime Lee Curtis.
I remember this issue....I agree that she should have gone anti airbrushing...there is def. a way she could have pulled strings to not have it done..IMO she also looked more than 161 in that "bad angle" photo.

She is smoking crack if she thinks she's 161 pounds ... or maybe she borrowed Kirstie Alley's scale.
I cannot weigh what I weigh at 5'4 and she weigh that at six inches taller than me and with boobs!!
I don't see why not? I know plenty of people who are different heights, body types, weights, and yes, I know people who weigh the same and have a good 5 inches difference between them.

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
Not sure why everybody's debating about the actual number . She gained, she admits it, she's still confident and happy and she still looks good....I say good for her!

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
That thing she is wearing on the cover of people looks almost like a girdle. Other than that, I think she could weigh 161 based on that picture She still has curves, her legs looks slender in that pic, she is curvy and her face has not blown up.
In another picture on the people website, her legs look big, but her posture isn't the greatest there and the angle of the picture is very unflattering.
If I had to guess, I'd put her in the 170s.
I bet she just looks like a normal person now.

I completely agree!!!  It is hard to assume a person's weight just by looking at a photo.

This is not true - Everyone's body type is completely different and everyone's weight is distributed differently - I'm 5'2" and people would NEVER believe I weigh what I do ........but that's the # on the scale . -
I thiink she looks fabulous !
same here...even I don't believe what I weigh   You prob wouldn't believe me.

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
Just my two cents, but when I do weigh 160 lbs. I am a size 8...right now I weigh 180 or so and am a size 12....and I am "only" 5'9".
When I weighed 145 pounds I was a size 0...just the way I am distributed.
Meaning Tyra could easily have been on the cover of SI at 131 pounds.
And I think she looks great!!!! Maybe more actresses and models should be as "fat" as her.

Exactly! ANd it's a really sad day when someone thinks being 5' 10 and 161 (or 171 ) is fat. She is confident, intelligent and a positive role model to young woman of today. I say...Go Tyra!!!!

Right, but SHE said that she's gained 30 lbs since SI, and by you saying she's at least 180, that means she was at least 150.
Whatever the case may be, she really should have no reasone to lie.

Re: Tyra Banks Speaks Out About Her Weight
Seriously who cares how much she weighs. She gained weight oh well. She's is happy with herself and she put herself on the cover of people magazine in a bathing suit. Something im sure most people wouldn't do.
If you think she looks FAT then you have issues

I saw the cover of People (was it?) that just came out and she definitely lost some weight since the infamouse bathing suit picture. Also, there was definitely a lot of retouching done. She does look great there though, very healthy and not at all overweight.
