Chrissy Metz's Shares Her Weight-Loss Journey in Her Own Words

She has [italic]lost[/italic] weight since she started the show???

Weight LOSS journey? The journey has been immeasurably short!

I'll share my journey-- just don't ask me to share my pie!

Her long and arduous weight loss journey began at 12pm and lasted until 2pm.

[quote]Show creator Dan Fogelman modeled the role after his own sister's weight-loss journey

His sister had a snack purse?

Is this snack purse fact or fiction?

[quote] Chrissy Metz was designing her own clothes long before she started collaborating with stylists and seamstresses on red carpet looks. The This Is Us star’s interest in fashion started at a young age, and she’s opening up to PEOPLE about how the lack of options available to curvy women led her to find other ways to express herself.

[quote]“I was the only chubby girl in my friend group. I remember Wet Seal becoming popular when I was in school, but the clothes didn’t fit me the same way they fit my friends,” she shares. “Only Lane Bryant had clothing I could wear.”

[quote]Metz adds: “I had to make [my style] my own, because otherwise you’d look like someone’s grandma and you’re 14.”

[quote] Instead of having clothing swaps with her friends, the star began trading accessories.

[quote] “I got super creative. [bold]I made a purse out of an old Baskin Robbins ice cream tub,” she shares,[/bold] adding that she also made bags out of old jeans and would bedazzle T-shirts she found at the local thrift store in her hometown of Homestead, Florida.

Whoever's styling you is overcharging and probably hates you.

In her own words? Of course they are in her own words because the lazy bitch has had no journey. What would the writer write? "Metz still struggles with her weight loss. There are days when Metz just cannot say no to a bag of Doritos - or two."

The only journey for Metz is to the fridge.

She is a danger to society. Promoting her as someone whose body we should embrace is just another reason why our lazy society continues to become more obese.

[quote] Weight LOSS journey? The journey has been immeasurably short

We’ll have found our way out of the desert long before her journey is over.

When does she plan on starting this journey?

Weight LOSS? Maybe from the time she drops one of her mammoth shits to the time she can hit Baskin-Robbins again.

If she’s legit “losing” pounds, girl must be shrinking because she’s looking much larger.

The media should be ashamed of themselves for treating her “weight problem” like she’s 20 pounds overweight. The woman is a truck. Like a semi.

how much this cow lose????? .05 lbs?????? good god, she huge

When you’re that big anything less than twenty lbs doesn’t really show.

She is the quintessential "But she has such a pretty face" overweight woman. There is a stunner under there.

A journey of a thousand snacks begins with a single bite.

Or 200 lbs R15.

200lbs would be a decent start for Chrissy.

She only weighs like 275 pounds supposedly

We all know she was contracted to lose weight, and the writer confirms that. She has not lost any weight at all, but god forbid they invoke the clause cause all the fatties would lose their shit.

I'm sure she's happy to work the "Woe is me, I'm trying to lose weight" schtick because it brings her attention and sympathy, but I doubt she has much interest in actually losing weight. So long as she's the first person that agents think of for the fat-girl parts, she's got a career. She's not going to mess with that.

I agree R16. She's very pretty.

She must eat A LOT to maintain that weight.

Toby her husband on the show has been working out, the guy probably got sick of wearing a fat suit

The girl has flawless makeup and hair but she is perfectly round in shape!

She has the same problem as other obese girls with pretty face.

If she lose weight, she loses her pretty face too + tons of loose skin requiring surgery.

That's why she won't lose weight for the time being. Maybe she'll do something after her first heart attack if it's not too late.

I hope the producers had fired her fat ass. She can be the obese girl with a pretty face in other tv shows.

She should invoke the spirit of Karen Carpenter. But , she would still be a Fat ass.

She's like the love child of an angry glee fan and a beach ball

She only has a career because of her size. The bigger she gets, the bigger her career will become. She must keep eating. She needs a feeder now.

Last time I saw her, I thought she weighed about 400 lbs. Has she lost weight?

I fe4el very sorry for her.

I feel very sorry for her.

I dont' know if I feel sorry for her.

If she's trying and can't lose weight because mental problems or others, I'm sorry for her.

If she doesn't lose weight because she doesn't give a fuck, I don't feel bad for her.

I didn't realize she was 38. She needs to get serious about this before menopause strikes.

Honestly I hope she just gets the surgery. I feel like that's the only hope for a lot of the super fatties, because regular diet and exercise is difficult to sustain for as long as it takes to lose 250 pounds, or however much extra baggage she's got. I know it's a crutch but if having that extra bit of help works and actually gets them to a healthy weight, it's ultimately a good thing.

[quote] When the show first aired, Metz revealed that she signed a contract with a clause requiring her to lose weight along with her character.

How can I put this nicely. This week on the show where Toby's now going to the gym makes me think they've abandoned this plan entirely.

Lmao at Kate being upset Toby is taking care of himself and she’s not and blaming him for her not losing weight.

I doubt that R30. Every chubby or obese actor that started her career "fat and proud" eventually gave in to the powers that be and slimmed down. Every.Single.One. Melissa McCarthy, America Ferrera, Mo'Nique, Gabourey Sidibe, Ricki Lake, etc.... All of these women were a lot bigger when they started out but lost the weight so they could extend their careers and remain employable. I was especially surprised when Mo'Nique slimmed down because I remember how proud and outspoken she was about being a big woman who wouldn't change for anybody. If Chrissy wants to continue working after This is Us, she'll probably have to lose some weight eventually.

R38 I think most of them did it for their health more than for their career.

“Just the one, dear?”

She’s waiting for that show to end and the have a comeback as a slimmer new gal ready to take on the world!

I find this woman exceptionally annoying and wish she would stop talking to the media because increasingly it seems the world is expected to continue to enable and empower her and it’s ridiculous. Being overweight is one thing, and being fat is another. This woman has crossed the line and morbidly obese and as such she is a danger to herself and now, given her high profile, she is a danger to others. She needs to stop with the fucking delusions. Glamour needs to stop giving her a platform to air these delusions. She is fat because she saw her mother go without eating as a child so that her kids had enough to eat? Okay lady, WHATEVER.

It would help if she seemed at all likeable but weight aside she genuinely seems like a horrible person. I’m over it. Enough with this person.

The latest story on Chrissy. All I can say to her is 'Sure Jan."

Maybe she should on a journey to stop being a such a cunt.

I lost weight and my career.

A healthy... and short life.

"The media should be ashamed of themselves for treating her “weight problem” like she’s 20 pounds overweight. The woman is a truck. Like a semi."

Exactly ! They don't address any of the real issues she has.

Chrissy is trying to normalise obesity.

All of this bullshit seemed to start in the 70s with Phil Donahue and then Oprah, justifying any behavior with psychobabble.

I really think the media is doing her a huge injustice by giving her a platform to say she's "healthy" at an "unconventional size". I have to look away when she's on screen, it's just uncomfortable to watch. Why do the people around her think they are helping her by normalizing this. If they really cared they'd be staging an intervention lead by a professional in these matters. I know you can't make people stop eating/drinking/drugging until they want to but at least the people around her would have a clear conscience that they tried if (when) she has a massive heart attack.

R50 "I really think the media is doing her a huge injustice by giving her a platform to say she's "healthy"

I agree. What needs to be discussed is the fear she faces that everywhere she goes there are going to be problems. Furniture she can't sit on, places she can't fit in, things that break because of her weight. It's real, not the fluff she's handing out.

Oh, god, will you fags leave this girl alone already?! Stop being such a stereotype.

^ Is that you, Pon?

That Power Women or whatever “interview” is terrible. She’s an awful speaker. It’s just a total hash, a word salad. None of it makes any sense. She seems barely literate. The mental gymnastics she’s doing to justify her fatness be hugely exhausting because she sounds like she’s impaired.

Will no one stand up for me?

"Weight-Loss Journey"? What Weight-Loss Journey? She just seems to be gaining.

For all the people wondering how someone on a weight loss journey can gain so much weight I recommend to watch "Foodie beauty" and "Amberlyn Reid" Youtube channels.

This is sick. Nobody would praise an end-stage alcoholic for their healthy lifestyle, so why are we doing it for morbidly obese people like Chrissy M.

Because there's a market R58.

More and more people are obese or morbidly obese. But those people buy food (obviously), clothes, furnitures, books, make up etc.

More and more people are ready to buy what Chrissy has to sell: "All is good, there's nothing wrong with you. You just have big bones, now buy my book."

Her weight-loss journey is a round-trip.

I actually find her a very compelling actress. It's her weight that's distracting. It's all I can focus on. It be fun to see her lose weight (and have loose skin removed of course) and see what she really has to offer.

Mmm lovely skin and extra-roomy hips..

Down from 490lbs in 2015 to 489lbs now -- such a brave, inspiring journey.

Wrong R63 I gained at leat 50 pounds since 2015.

The only journey I see evidence of her making is to the dessert bar in Red Lobster.

Good for her. I noticed she’s thinner in her latest pictures. She seems but still but In her case maybe the camera just adds 100 pounds on her.

Are you the Chrissy Fan Troll, R66? Who used to constantly be telling us that it was the camera that made her look big and that she was going to drop a hundred pounds any day now even though she didn't have to?

[quote]In her case maybe the camera just adds 100 pounds on her.

How many cameras were on her???

Good for her! At this rate she might finally get down from a size Pavilion to a size Gazebo.

Sorry! That was a typo. I meant to write weight GAIN journey!

She's not "curvy." Christina Hendricks and the late Anna Nicole are/were curvy. Metz is blocky.

R69 = Chandler Bing

I don't wanna see any fat gurls on my TV whining about not getting laid. Boo hoo. Now go find Gabourey Sidibe and ask her about her career.

She 'doesn't do' heels.

And heels don't do you, Chrissy.

"The only journey I see evidence of her making is to the dessert bar in Red Lobster."

WAIT !!! They have a dessert bar at Red Lobster ??

She claims to be working on a country music album. I hope it has some covers like:

'You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Ham)'

'Before He Eats'

'Harper Valley KFC'

'A Lesson in Eatin'

'I Never Promised You An Olive Garden'

'Coat of Many Acres'

'The Night the Chair Gave Out in Georgia'

And 'Levitate By Your Man' in reference to her famous 'is she standing? is she sitting?' pose.

[quote]The only journey I see evidence of her making is to the dessert bar in Red Lobster.

In addition to her weekly pilgrimage to Chick-fil-A.

R77 Some other titles could be:

Grave Diggers Daughter You Ain't WOMAN Enough To Take My Man

Every time emmy winning and This Is Us are mentioned in the same sentence I did a little inside. Schlocky broadcast dramas made for NBC should not be winning Emmys in a post-Sporanos world.

I think her journey is from the couch to the fridge.

[quote]“I got super creative. I made a purse out of an old Baskin Robbins ice cream tub,” she shares

In her own words.

R82 Flyover trash.

R74, those fat girls will tell you that straight men want all that fat to roll around with.

I used to work with a fat woman who used to complain that the only men who wanted to date her were “chubby chasers”. She had so much contempt for them and resented being fetishized. I didn’t understand that; someone’s attracted to you. Get it.

I can't wait to hear her cover of Charley Pride's "Burgers and Fries and Cherry Pies."

If her weight loss journey was a cross-country roadtrip (and God knows it would be) she would've made it all the way to Calabasas then made a pit-stop for snacks.

From four days ago:

This Is Us Star Chrissy Metz Reveals Her ‘Little Girl Dreams’ of Being a Country Music Singer Are Coming True

Thank goodness she didn’t have a childhood dream of being a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

Her face looks like a very bitchy pillow in that photo.

I love the quotation marks around 'little girl dreams' -- yep, 'little' being her own descriptor.

[quote]“I got super creative. I made a purse out of an old Baskin Robbins ice cream tub,” she shares

Chrissy, just because you carry one every time you go out doesn't make it a purse.

Lol lol R77!

Face cellulite at R82.

[quote]Her face looks like a very bitchy pillow in that photo

that made me laugh

[quote]“I got super creative. I made a purse out of an old Baskin Robbins ice cream tub,”

I still can't believe she actually said that.

People Magazine asked her her weight last year (when discussing her alleged weight loss) and she refused to say and had some Oprah-talk about how she doesn't go by 'numbers on scales'.

[quote]People Magazine asked her her weight last year (when discussing her alleged weight loss) and she refused to say and had some Oprah-talk about how she doesn't go by 'numbers on scales'.

She doesn’t know what she weighs. There’s no scale that can hold her.

There is a Chrissy Metz obsessed troll on DL. Yes, she's fat. Yes. she's enormous. Not really that interesting.

The Chrissy Fan Troll is back!

Does Chrissy live off salads and munch on carrot sticks for snacks, R99?

Hi, Chrissy (r99)!

Her weight loss journey will last longer than Moses.

Actually, all there really is to her is her weight.

Melissa McCarthy was at least funny and Gabourey Sidibe received some acclaim as an actress.

If Chrissy wasn't super-fat who'd be lining up to cast her in anything?

McCarthey was overweight but not to the levels some of you act.

She was pretty heavy for a while circa 2014. And it was part of her act.

Obviously she looked gamine next to Chrissy though.

She needs a cure but the medical won"t look for it. Chris Farley never found help. She might never lose that weight. She is probably in a lot of physical pain, and she lies about it.

I want every picture taken of me to be standing next to her.

An IKEA store looks gamine next to Chrissy.

This is a close second.

Three years ago.

I was looking at a yearbook with an old friend this week. We graduated HS in 1988 (so, yes, Elder). We had a classmate or two who were “fat”. In my mind, I remember this girl being absolutely huge, the fattest girl at school. My friend and I were sort of surprised to look at photos and see that she wasn’t that big, compared to today’s standards. She wasn’t obese, just heavy (by today’s srandards).

If that Ellen clip is from three years ago, she looks like she's gained weight, not lost it. It's a shame because she has naturally nice features, but they're obscured under all of the fat on her body. She has to be a candidate for gastric bypass, and I'm surprised she hasn't done it, as she clearly has an eating disorder. Gabourey Sidibe has lost a lot of weight since she underwent the surgery. There is really no reason for Chrissy not to; surgery is risky when you're morbidly obese, but at this rate she is heading toward a surefire death by heart attack.

She's out there living her best life. Recording a soon to be hit album (with covers like D-E-S-S-E-R-T, Appetizer No. 9, I Hope You Wheeze, Pantry Miner's Daughter, Whose Reinforced Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, She's in Love with the Pie, When Cardio-Fearin' Women Get the Blues), starring on a highly-rated TV show (and bound to win a pity Emmy any year now), and has hundreds of men dying to sleep with her (so long as she doesn't roll over).

What about you?

Melissa McCarthy was like a quarter of Chrissy’s size even at her heaviest.

Exactly r117 I don’t get why people always act like she was 500 pounds. She wasn’t.

Fat was part of her shtick.

^^ She was probably about 250 pounds. Chrissy is approaching 900.

250 lbs is still fat. And especially for a leading lady.

Which is proof Chrissy could lost 100, 200 pounds still be Hwood's go-to fat actress.

Melissa was definitely obese, but she is able to do a lot of physical comedy. There’s a scene in “Bridesmaids” where she hikes her leg up in the air and she is surprisingly flexible. Maybe it was a trick of the camera.

Not sure why I mentioned it. She’s not immobilized by her fat, is my point.

You don’t have to be a stick figure to be a leading lady. She’s proven that.

I like the look at R111, I HATE R112

She usually looks much worse. She looks best when dressed like a Vegas drag act.

That’s quite a journey.

Think she’ll find her neck?

Her story about growing up in poverty seems off. She had the money to move to LA at some point and live there pursuing her dreams despite the fact it would be a decade until she got any sizable work. What connection did she have to get a job as an agent? She might've had only 81c in her bank account (as she repeats constantly) when she booked TIU but she obviously was still managing to eat how much a week in groceries and eating out? $600 maybe?

Is she shoplifting sacks of sand?

Something nice at r126. That color is great for her.

I was going hungry when I booked THIS IS US. I was down to only ten, twelve thousand calories a day.

R126 Is that her leg sticking out there? It looks like two racks of lamb!

R132 - I actually think that's a stomach flap which means she's toast if she doesn't do some type of surgical intervention soon.

R133 Good God! That's even worse!

R128 I thought she had a job as a script supervisor. The problem with most entertainment jobs is that they are not permanent. You might work be script supervisor on one movie and then get nothing for a long time.

I don’t think she went to college. How did she become a script supervisor?

I threatened to eat the producer if she didn't hire me.

[R77] my first LOL moment of the day. Thank you!

Any weight loss less than 20lb won’t show?

Less than 80, more like it.

Back in season 3 they claimed her character had lost forty pounds.

Chrissy hadn't of course. They only got away with it because that's a drop in the ocean for her.

They fat character should have been played by someone, say, the size of Jennifer Hudson at her heaviest. ie obviously fatter than she should be but not morbidly obese.

She's obviously in denial and making excuses for her inability to lose weight and keep it off. I understand she had a tough upbringing, but she was handed the role of her lifetime with this tv show. Her net worth is estimated to be $7 million. Any sane person would realize that they had hit the jackpot and would put in the work to get healthy so that they stick around to enjoy that money.

She needs a personal chef, a trainer and a psychiatrist and not necessarily in that order.

R136 It was my #MeToo moment.

[quote]She is the quintessential "But she has such a pretty face" overweight woman. There is a stunner under there.

Yes, but the poor girl was killed instantly when Chrissy landed on her.

Chrissy so fat when anyone yells ‘Hey Koolaid,’ she comes crashing through the wall.

R145 Same shape
