The Biggest Loser: Season 15 Winner Rachel *link at bottom*

Sorry for any spoilers...

While I love this show, and I loved Rachel this season and was rooting for her the whole way through...

I (and many many others) were SHOCKED by the fact that she was only 105 pounds at the finale...  

 She seriously didn't even look healthy!!! She started the show at 260, and lost 155 pounds in the timeframe of the show. She lost over 60% of her body fat, which is the most ever for loss in a Biggest Loser contestant and winner.

I think it is important to understand that they go 'all out' for the finale, but to win with these drastic measures is a little bit insane... Even the trainers were shocked when she came out! The picture of Jillian and Bob's faces says it all. 


While she claims she was losing weight in a healthy way, the measures for her body % were actually showing her to be UNDERWEIGHT with a BMI of 17.5. She had literally no fat on her body, and you could see her raw bones and muscle... 



She was a firecracker ALL season and really worked hard! I only hope that she will be able to gain some weight back and be healthy. I personally think she looked great at the makeover week.

I won't judge her, or the process, because as long as she is happy that is what matters, but I just want the best version to be displayed for girls and women today, not feeling like they have to be that skinny. 



Nonetheless I still love this show, and maybe next season there will be a focus on making sure that the final weigh in is a healthy time. 

Rachel Frederickson, the latest winner of ‘The Biggest Loser.’ Fans criticized her for losing too much weight.


WAY TO GO RACH! Fellow Rachels, unite <3
