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.

MaggieMnaSneachta · 11/01/2010 22:40

for the youngsters who don't remember him/her

notanumber · 11/01/2010 22:41

He was called James Harries. Now he is Lauren Harries.

MaggieMnaSneachta · 11/01/2010 22:43

god poor hannah W. she looks too fat, too thin, haggard, like a smoker, years older than 34, and now, the absolute clincher, like lauren harries!!!

Hannah, look away

AnyFucker · 11/01/2010 22:45

that is it !

Lauren Harries !

sorry Hannah, I like you really

MmeLindt · 11/01/2010 22:46

I guess that Slebs just have to accept that in the eyes of their adoring critical public they can do no right.

Did you see the article about Mischa whatshername in the DM? Critisising her wearing tight leather trousers, saying she was too fat for them. Not that long ago they were full of 'concern' when she was too thin. No wonder these girls have eating disorders.

toolly · 11/01/2010 22:46

Lauren was James Harries

MaggieMnaSneachta · 11/01/2010 22:54

I know, and has anybody ever mentioned Adrian Chiles weight for example!? I mean, ever, I don't think I've read even ONE reference to the fact that he is not the leanest person on tv... In that whole triangle news story his weight wasn't mentioned once.

fabhead · 11/01/2010 22:55

Exactly, the whole thing is just eating disorder central

curryfreak · 11/01/2010 23:04

I think she comes across as a nice person though,- but sadly I think she is being manipulated.A
Also saw her on Come dine with me and she seemed quite genuine. Thought sherrie Hewson was a moron,- and as thick as...

AnyFucker · 11/01/2010 23:08

maggie, and don't even get me started on Eamon Holmes

puffling · 11/01/2010 23:12

Pointydig - I like the term 'gutlord.'

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 12/01/2010 09:46

Adrian Chiles has a round face but quite a trim bod. He lost a fair bit of weight several years ago.

When celebs (however nice they are) set out to make money out of their weight loss, and advocate a completely unrealistic and unhealthy way of losing weight, then I think fair game, let the press and Mumsnet have a field day with them. They need to be scrutisined and picked over. It is not mean - we don't know Hannah Waterman, she has put herself out there for public attention and that attention is not all going to be supportive and positive.

S'wat I say anyway.

tispity · 12/01/2010 10:08

right here's the plan - Adrian Chiles should hook up with her and they can walk off into oblivion together

Oblomov · 12/01/2010 12:59

laughing at chiles comparisons, poor man.
agree with bobbity. groves said that she was obsessive. the company was really pushy. fitness bloke there every day, pushing her pushing her, to meet targets. she hadn't lost the weight one week and had a panic attack. now if they are that strict, do you really think that this way of dieting should be encouraged and supported ?
urr no.
if she pushes this dvd then she has to come under scrutiny. and then we all discover, quelle surprise, that it is all a load of tosh and we wouldn't want our daughters ( not that I have one) being taken in, by this kind of nonsense.
Hannah Waterman has to be held accountable.

BrahmsThirdRacket · 12/01/2010 13:18

She was too fat before - carrying that much weight around the middle is not healthy.

I don't think the body/face thing is true if you've always been slim. But if you were large and then lose a lot of weight when you're older the skin doesn't snap back and you do look older.

sweetkitty · 12/01/2010 13:26

I am 5ft 3 and at my heaviest was 10st 2lbs and a size 12, I have a tiny frame with skinny arms and legs and carry all my weight on my out of proportion hips and bum.

After last DC I was 8stone 8lbs and a size 8, fell much more confortable at that size TBH, still have huge hips though.

IMO Hannah has gone too much the other way, yes she needed to lose weight but she has lost too much, I doubt she will sustain, she could have lost a good stone and a half got done to 8 and a bit stone and still look good.

2babyblues · 12/01/2010 13:36

I think she is an attractive woman with or without the weight. I think her figure looks great now as long as she doesn't lose anymore. I don't know why people are calling her 'plain jane' and stuff as she looks pretty amazing compared to the average person in the street.

tiredsville · 13/01/2010 13:25

The claws always come out when a woman looses a vast amount of weight.
The nasty, spiteful comments left on the DM website tells me there are so many women who just can't handle the success of an overweight woman transforming into a slinky, lean chick.
Sure, if it was a man in the public eye then nobody would be interested.

BrahmsThirdRacket · 13/01/2010 13:31

Actually Stephen Fry looks about 10 years older since he lost weight.

Stigaloid · 13/01/2010 13:45

I went to drama school with her husband!

tispity · 13/01/2010 13:46

i honestly don't think she is attractive for a sleb who is also the child of a sleb and her father is probably the reason she was ever given the part on Eastenders. however, it is not asthough she has ever entertained going up against Megan Fox - she did well as a mumsy, dowdy type - it suited her colourings, facial and body type - it is prob the reason why people feel uncomfortable about her weightloss as she has transformed from an easily definable type into a 'body from Baywatch, face from Crimewatch'

mummytowillow · 13/01/2010 14:00

Poor Hannah, she has done really well losing that weight, give her a break, OK her hair is a bit old lady ish! But she looks great to me!

When I saw the picture on the front of her DVD I thought she had borrowed my belly!! (the fat one)!
