Filling with dread as they watch their once fleshy icon deteriorate before their very eyes, portly Americans are holding on to America Ferrera tighter than the last slice of Meat Lover's:
“I feel like I’m a regular person. I’m a size 10 or 12, which is totally normal. But I do feel that since I wanted to get in better shape, there has been a bit of a backlash.”
Don't worry, guys, you've still got Harvey Fierstein.

She looks gorgeous and healthy. Looooove the curves.
i love this girl. if she wants to shed a few pounds that's her deal but i think she looks great just the way she is.
The girl was NEVER portly. When I think of portly, I think of Rosie.
I also wouldn't have called her fleshy, either. Fleshier than normal starlets, sure. But even when Ugly Betty began, they dressed her to look heavier than she was.
I agree, her curves look GREAT! This is perhaps one of the few times I'll gladly shout "I LOVE AMERICA!!!"
she looks FABULOUS!
she looks so pretty
I think she looks great! I wish I had some curves. I agree with evil…I don't think she was portly… Rosie, yes. America, no.
On a side note, I have shoes that look exactly like that. However, mine are Steve Madden and hers are probably not.
It really sucks that she's trying to be healthy and get in shape and has gotten backlash.
Talk about a lose/lose situation.
bwa ha ha "last slice of Meat Lover's"
she is starting to look a lil bit like Norah Jones
Yeah, she's not big at all. Harvey isn't even all that big, IMHO!
A friend of mine once told me, "To me, fat is when the skin from your thighs hangs over and covers up your knees."
Ewwww, a knee flap. On that note, I think of fat as when you have that extra fold that shows in your pants.
Semi on topic. I hate those lame weight charts. According to my chart I can go as low as 95 pounds. Yeah, if I want to look like, Skeletor (aka, Nicole Richie). Sure, when I was 16 but I've had 4 kids and 95 is crazy. I'd have to live on lettuce and air.
better cut back on the air, it causes bloat.
ps juju- right there with you at the whole "wht the fuck do yo umean i can weigh 95?!?" 95? There should be a law where normal adults HAVE to weight triple digits.
All I can say to the young girls out there is, enjoy your ass now. It's the best it's ever going to look.
I think she looks great. If she loses a few pounds in the process of adopting a healthier lifestyle, then so be it. However, I don't think it's fair that she be punished for losing weight. Likewise, I don't think it would be right if people made cracks about her gaining weight.
…fyi, it's ok if we say it about Britney though, I just thought I'd clarify that.
Thankfully America is not out there trying to wear her, Daisy Dukes.
She looks JUST like the jhorts-wearer's ex…but still gorgeous.
I weighed 90 lbs. in college…and then my metabolism decided it was tired.
I keep waiting for that magic pill so I can eat anything I want and not gain weight. But I understand it was more important for men to create a pill to keep their wangs up.
Weight charts are such a joke. There's so much to take into account other than age and height. By all weight charts, I'm considered hugely underweight and unhealthy. Bite me.
Luckily I have doctors who know how to check other factors for health.
I'ev been on a few of those magic pills. And if you don't mind life-altering depression or violent fits, they work out pretty well.
Sounds like Amy Winehouse, I don't think her thing is pills. Oops, don't scrutinze her.
My friend had a severe weight problem in high school, but it wasn't what you think - the girl was soooo underweight it was disgusting! She hated it and was very sensitive to it. She blamed it on being Korean, but I bed to differ. Anyways, she had to consume around 3K calories a day to pack on some pounds. She was 5'7 and was really excited when she tipped the scales at 100 pounds. Weird.
It would take locking me in a basement to get to that weight. If I miss up to 2 meals I go in a rage and eat anything in site. Luckily I exercise up to 3 times a day or I might look like a blob.
I think she looks lovely. America has "curves", as it were. This is what is meant by curves, not Rosie.
She's wearing a girdle. Her legs are telling a different story than her waist.
She has slimmed down considerably since "Real women have curves" in 2002. I think she looks lovely. She does have a little meat on her bones, but I think it looks great. More women need meat on their bones.
Yeah, I'm going to guess that, in 2 months or so, she'll attribute her newly-emerged collarbone and sunken cheekbones to "pilates and grilled chicken and veggies." Stay fat, America. Otherwise I'm gonna have to finally put down the pizza, and that damn Domino's Brooklyn is just too good to give up.
"Stay fat, America."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What? I have not seen that pizza. Damn you, Domino's and your tasty pizza.
I love pilates and I teach it, but I can tell you this. It will not make you lose a ton of weight, unless you control what's going on in your cakehole. It will help you tone up as you lose weight and improve muscle imbalances.
I feel like Domino's for lunch, thanks, Lale. NOw I'm going to need some spanx. Do you think those come in extra strenght?
They don't, Juju. Believe me, I've looked. Remember that Jennifer Lopez bubble dress fiasco? I do recommend the Brooklyn pizza, which is absolutely greasylicious. The Oreo cookie pizza, not so much.
And thank you, April, for getting me. It's good to know I can call a fat woman "fat" without dealing with people telling me she's "healthy" and "normal." Honey, if that was normal, we'd see all the TV actresses looking like that. Can I get a what what?
According to the charts, once a month I'm a big fat, fatty, fat, fatty.
I saw that Oreo pizza last night, I almost barfed, that's just too much cookie going on.
PS. WHAT WHAT
What what
That's 4, what, what's, it doesn't get better than that. Unless you add in some laser cats.
