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.
WAY TO GO RACH! Fellow Rachels, unite <3
