Tyra Banks has Gained a lot of Weight

Submitted by Meg Wilson on November 22, 2006 - 10:02.

Here's a recent picture of Tyra Banks in a bikini. It looks like the rumors are true. She has gained a lot of weight, though she is still relatively slim, except by supermodel standards.

Banks retired from modeling last year. She no longer feels pressure to maintain an ultra-thin body. She has moved on to using her smarts instead of her body in the next stages of her incredibly successful business career.

See Tyra's talk about bathing suits, fat and tabloids.

well, she definitely has gained a lot more weight. and she isn't thin as she used to be. yet RETIRING means that she's done with maintaining a career of modeling, which requires a BMI of 16 on avg. so you can still take photos of her, but she is definitely not fat or even overweight. it isn't even right to be calling her these things anyway. i would like to take a picture of the photographer and post it up online so everyone could make comments on him or her.

First off who are you to say she's gained wieght? And why do you even care? What's from with you. Tyra looks better than almost anybody. Even if she weighed 200 lbs I bet for sure she would look a million time better than you. So you just need to shut your good for nothing mouth

TYRA, please dont turn into one of those anorexic celebs. you dont want to ruin your health like the rest of them. you are the perfect role model to every girl out there because you make the right choices in life. you are one of the most gorgeous famous women out there all thanks to your lovely curves.
you look better now than when you were way tooo skinny. when you were below your normal weight, you just looked like every other skinny model. every model should look like how you look now.

If there is one thing in the world I'm sick of - it's defiantly RUMORS!
Everybody is different and over time everyone is going to change. I think Tyra looks gorgeous. Infact, everyone is gorgeous no matter how tall or short or fat or skinny they are.
Tyra looks healthy and happy and that's all that really matters. Are you ever going to leave her alone?!

Okay Captain Obvious!?!? AND? So what she's gained a couple of pounds? She's not a working model any more-if anything, she looks more like a regular HUMAN. Even in her modeling days she's always been voluptuous, and apparently advertisers and consumers loved it and still do.

And if you're going to post her pic about her "weight gain", then hell, post pics of other former supermodels/actors/beauty queens/athletes who've gained a few pounds after their retirement BUT who are still healthy.

Jesus, you really need to get a grip on life. I'm sure the people who are criticizing her don't look HALF as good as she does on her off days.

YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO LEAVE TYRA ALONE.
all of the young girls and women that
look up to her for standing up for women
who are plus sizes and not what the world
or HOLLYWOOD believes to be "skinny".
shes got a body and if its not up to "model"
expectations then why are you waisting your
time trying to ruin someones life and if you
haven't noticed she doesn't care what you think
of her its not driving her to an eating disorder
so your waisting your time. Grow up and Get a life.
Why are you promoting unhealthy skinny. Tyra is
a good weight for her body type. shes ONLY 161 lbs
and if you haven't noticed no one CARES. They think
she is healthy. So I hope you feel great about yourself
saying that you have to be pencil thin to be skinny
or "model" standards. GREAT message your sending young
women across our nation, and the world.
