The View’s Sherri Shepherd has lost 40 pounds with the help of a trainer, healthy meals delivered to her home and no surgery (take that Star Jones!) She’s on the cover of this week’s OK magazine and talks about the importance of exercise.
“I lost weight last year and started gaining it back because I wasn’t exercising,” Sherri explains in the new issue of OK!. “I said to my producer, ‘Why don’t we do something where I tell people ‘Let’s do it together!’ and maybe [up the ante with] a bathing suit.’ The minute I said that, I was like, ‘Gosh, I should take it back because I really want M&M’s!’ But I had to do it. Then all of sudden I had all these people doing it with me. I’d Tweet about going to the gym and how hard it was, and followers would write and say, ‘Sherri, I’ve lost two pounds!’ I thought, ‘Okay, people are getting into this.’”
Listen, Sherri looks great and losing 41 pounds is a huge accomplishment, however is this really what a size 6 looks like? Her chesticles are mammoth and maybe that’s what’s throwing me off, but she looks like a size 10 to me. I know, I know … size doesn’t matter. Except when on a date.
i agree, breast size can definitely be a little misleading. but she looks smaller below that! she probably has her clothes altered because she can afford to do it and have them be the perfect fit, rather than just buy them off the rack to fit the biggest part of her. She can buy the smaller size and then have it let out in the chest, maybe? Plus she is only 5’1″, so she’s really short!
NO way she’s a size 6. She’s done a great job losing the weight, but that’s not a 6.
ditto. NOT a 6.
I thought the same thing–doesn’t look like a size 6 to me. And her before pic looks like more than a 16 to me, as well. She does look great and should be proud of her accomplishment, but I think that saying she’s a size 6 is stretching it. I hate it when celebs do that, too-why can’t someone come out and say “I’m a size 10 and I’m happy with that” rather than trying to make themselves seem smaller?
she isn’t very tall. and a size 10 on a short person would look a lot bigger than on a taller person. anyone see celebrity fit club when countess vaughn was on? she was like 140 but because she was short it looked like more
Not a 6. NOT BY A LONG SHOT.
Why can’t she be proud of all the weight she lost without allowing BS to be spewed.
Size 6 my ass. The whole BSing about the size defeats the whole purpose of her supposed healthy weight loss.. She & all of AMERICA, let’s face it, still have an unhealthy attitude towards weight & size..
took the words right out of my mouth.
Damn Im glad if youre doing something to get healthy but I DO NOT need to see ths Weeble Wooble showing this much skin.
I dont give a donkeys nuts what size anyone is just keep your god damn clothes on. GROSS!
Please remember people, no one in the world cares about your big fat ass as much as you do. You may be sitting around thinking about yourself and your ass and what size you wear but I promise you, WE DONT GIVE A FUCK! LMAO!
Such a strange thing to even talk about. I would have never noticed how large she was to have beenin the first place becuase i was always distracted by how stupid she is on that show.
Is it just me, or does she have the distinct shape of a bobble head in that picture?
She seems very disporportionate (sp???).
She probably has PCOS. I used to look OK and now I look like a linebacker.
I’m an ignorant ass, so can you please explain what PCOS is? Thanks.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is when one day you’re normal and the next day you’re 80 pounds heavier, unbelievably hairy, and you can’t make babies anymore. One of the only ways to control the symptoms is by losing weight faster than your body tries to gain it. Birth control and metformin — a drug for diabetics with insulin resistance problems — may also help.
Incidentally, PCOS is why Kate Gosselin had fertility problems. OOPS
P.S. Google is pretty great too
P.P.S. OK, according to some dumb site, “apple shape” happens when a gal has more androgen than estrogen (in keeping with the horrors of PCOS and other hormonal problems).
Wow! That site is really useful. Thanks!
AMEN…ditto on that.
Having PCOS doesn’t automatically make you infertile.
She looks dead in the eyes. Give the woman some carbs. The smile is forced. This is not a picture of a happy woman… and you know it’s been Photoshopped to make her look even better than the original pic. I know everyone wants to be thin and gorgeous and whatever…but the eyes give it away. Just because you improve the outside, doesn’t mean all of your internal problems go away. Sherry, eat a tiny bit of something you like, do something you LOVE and quit worrying so much about the externals.
She does not look like a size 6 at all. And her before photo? Not a size 16 either.
that is a size six on someone under 5 foot 2. I have a friend who is 5 foot 1, and wears a size 5 or 6 but she is still obviously carrying extra weight for her frame and height. A person’s height can effect how much chunk they carrying at any given weight.
I have another friend that is 5 foot 11 and at 160 pounds is about 10 pounds away from skeletal, but she saw a new Dr a few years ago who only saw the numbers and not the state of her figure. He told her she needed to loose another 40 pounds without apparently noticing that would make her appear anorexic.
So yes, that IS a size six for someone Sheri’s height.
I agree that 150 lbs on someone who is 5’2″ will look much different than on someone who is 5’10”. However, sizes go on measurements of chest/bust, waist, and hips.
The measurements according to a U.S. Misses size chart for a size 6 is Bust:34.5″-35″; Waist:26.5″-27″; Hips:36.5″-37″.
I just find it hard to believe that her chest, waist and hips fit into those standards.
I have a feeling she’s size 6 everywhere but chest
did she say size 6 dress size? maybe she means pants size.
Wow. Hope this is responsible reporting. I’m thinking about all the young girls who would look at Sherri’s body at size 6 and conclude they need to be smaller than a 6.
I think it’s because her face and boobs still look so big … if you look at her from the waist down, she looks pretty small – I think her face throws me off the most.
She may be a 6 from the waist down, but why does her head look abnormally large and freakish? The same thing happened to Star Jones and Al Roker when they lost weight.
shit, wendie. your writing cracks me up. that last paragraph is hilarious.
We went to a taping of The View in early June- Sherri Shepherd is definitely a 6, at least on the bottom. The proportion of her chest to her hips is INSANE.
OK! is 50 cents? Wow.
That’s some really bad photoshopping.
I don’t know why they took that picture at such a terrible angle.
In other news, I just learned she’s 5’1″ or so, so really she definitely look like a size six. I think they’re talking about form the waist down.
Another possibility is that they’re referring to pants size?
I’m the same height and pant size as her…our only difference is she must have a completely different bra size. And she looks like me. Well I think so, that is such a terrible angle…
Since when does it take surgery to lose 40 lbs? Please! This woman is DEFINETLY NOT a size 6. I am 5’1″ & weigh 125 lbs & I’m not a size 6.
I’m 5’0.5″, and 136 pounds. And I’m a size 5/6.
Shit! Where the fuck do you shop at? I”m 5’3″ and 115 and I’m a 5/6.
(This is the same poster you replied to, I forgot to enter my name.)
I shop at Goodwill and Target and Walmart, mostly. How weird.
SHE WAS MUCH FUNNIER BEFORE SHE JOINED THE VIEW. I’MNOT GOING TO SAY IT’S PURELY DIET RELATED BUT I KNOW I’M DEFINITELY FUNNIER WHEN I’M FULL
I can believe she is a size 6 from her waist down. Her torso can not firt in a size 6, no way.
I believe she is an American size 6 which is really a 8 in other parts of the world. I am 5’2 130 and where a size 4-6. Bodies are different and muscle mass is different. She looks like a 6 to me….
