Remember Tyra Banks' "Kiss My Fat A**" moment that aired few years ago on The Tyra Banks Show?
Now, the famous model/actress/talk show host is telling critics that they can kiss her fit behind: She's shed almost 30 pounds since her angry 2007 outburst directed against tabloids that printed unflattering photos of her in a bathing suit and called her "fat."
So, how did she lose so much weight?
According to People.com, Tyra lost weight by working with a nutritionist, keeping a food diary, and switching up "unhealthy eating habits for healthier eating habits."
Tyra says that even though she's slimmed down, she doesn't want to lose her famous curves: she's maintained her 34DD boobs and (her words) "round booty."
I think she looks great, but I can't help but be a little sad that she seemd to cave to the pressure to be thin that she was so vehemently against a few years ago. Oh well, I guess what's important is that she's healthy and happy.
Do you think Tyra looks great?

I think she just didn't want to be thick anymore. I am dieting myself but I won't go below a size 14. I love my body and was most happy at a size 16. That is my goal now and I will remain a proud plus size girl!( i dont have high blood pressure or diebetes either at a size 20 now) Some people think Tyra is a sellout well maybe or maybe not.
Why are you dissapointed with the fact that she gave up unhealthy habits? Perhaps she wasn't caving to the pressure,but taking a step in the right direction to be HEALTHY. The weight loss was just a side effect.
People who are proud of their size BUT are completely unhealthy are to me no different than overly skinny people...who are completely unhealthy. See what I'm saying? It's all about being HEALTHY, no matter what your size!!
I think she looks fabulous, however, I really did enjoy her embracing her fuller figured self. Mostly bc she was still amazingly beautiful at that weight too. I think that after she enjoyed taking a break from all that she had to do while modeling, she decided to get back on a healthier lifestyle. Now...if I could lose that same 30 pounds! LOL!
She does look great. But so does Oprah and Melissa Peterman and Kirste Alley. There are beautiful women out there that have the same figures as most of the women in this country. I loved that she came out and said it's ok to look this way and I understand why she lost the weight because I too am changing my eating to lose weight. I just wish young girls had better people to look up to then some of these skinny minnies out there now!
I don't care what her weight is. She's healthy and happy, that's what counts in my eyes. Good for you Tyra!!
I think she lost weight because SHE wanted to... if she did it because of the tabloids, then she would have been shedding off those pounds a couple of years ago. Don't you agree?
She looks great!
i think she looks great!! and as long as she is happy who cares
I think she looks great. More importantly it sounds like she is eating a more healthy diet and exercising. Good for her taking charge of her own weight and choosing to be healthy. She is not stick thin looks very fit and healthy.

Well I wouldn't look at it as much as she caved to pressure...I had heard her talk just a little bit in the past about what she ate and it didn't sound very good. Hopefully it's just a step towards good health.
