She doesn't get enough credit for being smart, funny and interesting - and she's clearly got all three attributes in spades.

Pretty much anything she does I'll watch/read/listen to. She looks great, but I was puzzled when I read the Us magazine last year with her big weight loss story. She's clearly bigger than me, yet wears a smaller size than me. I think it may have even had something in it about her measurements and I was like, whaaat? I'm not knocking on her weight I'm just sincerely curious as to why that is. I love me some Ricki Lake! Pretty much anything she does I’ll watch/read/listen to.

It probably didn't even look good on the model. The pockets add unnecessary bulk, the top gives the illusion of sag, and the waist...I don't even know what is going on there. I've seen other pictures of her in clothes that don't look like crap and her shape is very lovely. That dress is very unflattering. It probably didn’t even look good on the model.

She should get another daytime show. Why do they keep looking for projects for Rosie? I still like her Hairspray performance best and her talk show back in the day was popular.

What's with her calves anyway? They look weird! I doubt she even weighs 130 lbs…that is one ill-fitting dress. What’s with her calves anyway? They look weird!

Good for her for working so hard and admitting, like all of us, that she may not be "ideal" forever. Also, I haven't seen her documentary but am very interested. I have been reading a lot about pregnancy/child birth and it truly seems to have been medicalized beyond belief, so I am not watching the doc yet as my ovaries already have too many ideas...

I think that the everyone posting negative crap here should worry about their own muffin top. She looks great and losing 140lbs without surgery or cocaine is really amazing.

She seems very smart and capable, and I applaud anyone who decides to change their life in a healthy, responsible way. I'm really interested to check out her documentary, but I'm afraid of the ol' ovaries gettin' ideas . . . That being said, I'm a little discouraged to hear you knock her weight, jenn. You make it sound like her accomplishment is all for naught because at the end of the day she isn't "skinny", she's just "average". Not everyone is built to be skinny-minis. And even individuals with "average" builds still have an unhealthy percentage of fat. 130lbs isn't average in the States - all told it's on the thinner side. And if she's lost all that fat through diet and exercise - a good percentage of that weight is most likely muscle, which weighs a lot more than fat. She doesn't look insanely thin - looks really healthy and appropriate for her age and body type. I like her a lot more now that we’re both getting older.

I mean it's great that she lost weight without surgery. But she isn't skinny or thin by anyone's definition. She's average. Maybe she's just short and it makes her look heavier then she really is. sooo…if my math is right she’s 130 lbs? I mean it’s great that she lost weight without surgery.
