Did anyone else see The Wright Stuff this morning? She looks really old now since losing all the weight, I know she has personal ishoos and stuff. She just looked better before, or at least facially she did.

It's her hair. Her face is fine, it's the bad bad hair style that makes her look older.

fillybuster · 11/01/2010 15:09

YANBU - my dh was quite shocked by the pics and reckoned she looked terrible in the 'after' pics and 'normal' in the before ones...oh, he also said "losing that much weight in that time frame - that's just not right, is it?" Gotta love that man

pantomimecow · 11/01/2010 16:19

I have read that the skin continues to tighten up for 2 years after losing a lot of weight quickly , so perhaps she will look less haggard eventually.
To lose 30% of your body weight in 5 months seems very drastic

midnightexpress · 11/01/2010 16:20

Agree with butterball. The hair, esp the fringe is bad.

AnyFucker · 11/01/2010 16:21

yes, vbh

(very bad hair)

MamaLazarou · 11/01/2010 16:22

I think she looks fabulous.

her hair is awful, though.

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/01/2010 16:23

The advert where she bigs up her exercise DVD shows her with skin colour akin to a leather handbag.

Bless her and all for losing the weight but it will all pile back on anyway.

MamaLazarou · 11/01/2010 16:23

Ah, I see I am not an original thinker on this particular point

MaggieMnaSneachta · 11/01/2010 16:25

i think she's getting bad prss now for leaving her husband. i'm sure it was nothing to do with the weight. she just felt discontented and often as a result of that, people get the urge to change something ie, lose weight..... and then you feel galvanised into making changes while you feel back in control of your life....

ninah · 11/01/2010 16:25

is it hair? I thought wig
reminds me of an auburn Frankenfurter

MaggieMnaSneachta · 11/01/2010 16:28

You're all very harsh. She hasn't got a pretty doll face but I think she has a lovely friendly face and she is attractive. Also, she looks a few years older than 34, but not 54 as has been suggested!!!

not everybody is obliged to look like kylie or rachel stevens ykwim?? i like to see faces which are unconventionally attractive, and she is still attractive fgs!

(i'm not hannah herself btw, you'll all think that!)

Cyb · 11/01/2010 16:30

let me at her fringe with my thinning scissors...it is baaaad

fartmeistergeneral · 11/01/2010 16:33

Has she left the guy from Eastenders?

AnyFucker · 11/01/2010 16:34

maggie, I said further upthread that people were being mean as she seems quite nice

you have to agree about the hair though

< thinks everybody on MN except me and maggie must be perfect 10's with lovely skin and bouncy hair >

fartmeistergeneral · 11/01/2010 16:36

just googled this

shame!

I dread anyone seeing me jogging, let alone take a pic and put it in the paper! NO-ONE looks good jogging. Shame.

Thingiebob · 11/01/2010 16:45

I'm surprised at the mean comments on this thread.

She needed to lose weight and she's worked really hard to do just that. Why can't she be applauded for this? Personally, I think she's lost a bit too much for a woman her age and it has aged her but that's her decision. She'll probably pop a bit back on anyway.

I don't think she's ugly either. She has a nice smiley face.

poshtottie · 11/01/2010 16:47

On her dvd it says you can lose weight like Hannah in 10 mins a day. What utter tosh! More like two hours a day.

GhoulsAreLoud · 11/01/2010 17:07

Having a few times lost weight in the past (have been everything between a size 8 and a 14/16 after DD) I used to hate it when people praised me for losing weight and getting tiny because I knew I would never stay that way. My spiritual home is a size 12 and always will be and I sense that Hannah Waterman's is similar.

I thought the same about Natalie Cassidy, that it would all go back on and she would be slaughtered in the media.

I think HW would look lovely as a size 12, as many women do.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 11/01/2010 19:00

Ghouls I agree. It's sad that the lure of the DVD comes upon these girls, because when they do inevitably put some weight back on the headlines start all over again.

It must be terrible damaging to the psyche (allied with the fact that these girls often do the weight loss/DVD thing when they've undergone some major stress or life change).

Look at Vanessa Feltz ...

curryfreak · 11/01/2010 19:18

I think she's what my mother used to term 'a plain girl'
Not her fault, but losing weight hasn't done her any favours. Think she looks bizzare.
Would hazard a quess that she is in her early 4o's and not 34.
Lots of actresses doctor their offficial age. Would bet my bottom dollar she is one of them.

geordieminx · 11/01/2010 19:25

I was reading her article in Closer the other day - did anyone else think it was a big fat lie that she was 10st 4lb at her heaviest, and that put her at a size 16?

I know she is small, but she is the same height as me - and at 10st 4lb there is no way that A) I looked like her in a bikini, and was I a size 16.

IMO, she looked closer to 12 1/2 stone in the "before" pic, which would put her at a size 16?

Any thoughts?

curryfreak · 11/01/2010 19:28

What height is she Geordieminx? If she was 10.4, then i'll eat my hat!
Looked about 12.5 to 13 st to me!

whichwitchisthis · 11/01/2010 19:36

no way was she a size 16 if she actually weighed 10st 4lb, I was 10st 61/2 lbs when I started weight watchers and I was a size 12 and I'm no way tall (5ft 2)

And if she's a size 10 now I'll eat't my hat! More like a 6-8!!

pointydig · 11/01/2010 19:43

She had a huge big appley stomach before. She did not look better. She was a real gutlord. Her legs and arms were still pretty skinny though.

Considering the great girth of her belly, she did look a 16 round the waist at least.

geordieminx · 11/01/2010 19:52

She's 5"2

Reckons she is 7st 10lb now and size 6-8, having been a "disgusting" 10st 4lb, and a size 16 before
