I was too.

I mean, she somehow lost all this weight by eating right and exercising and somehow got rid of the arm/shoulder mass that is so common (and apparent in her before pictures).
Given her person history she would be more likely to have some kind of eating/diet/weight issues- going either way.

Did she eat well? I haven't seen the show in years but the last time I did I remember it was fruits and veggies (good) and a whole bunch of sponsored preprepared low calorie, low fat foods. I suppose it is a matter of opinion but I don't feel that is a maintainable diet long term.
I just think eating/diet/weight issues are directly related to media messages. Maybe somebody said it and I missed it but yours is the first post that told me she was a competitive swimmer before all this.
I do agree with your bmi comment. I knew somebody who was rejected from the Navy because she had the wrong bmi. The thing is she is big boned, tall and has a lot of dense muscle. They lost a really good person because they based it on a number.
