The funny thing is that this info is on HealthyCeleb, 5’5″, 400 lbs.
Glad I’m not a cow like that!
Glad I’m not ignorant like you.
You might not be a cow but you are rude, crude and hate filled.
Amy you could never be a cow…cows are intelligent, sentient beings! Of which you seem to be neither. Chrissy Metz is beautiful inside and out. I will be praying for your bad attitude!
I just just saw Chrissy on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show and it looked like she had gained rather than lost any weight this year. She looked big enough to be uncomfortable when she sat down.
I know! She never fits in the chair!!
She has to fly 1st class and takes up 2 seats! Amazing she’s still alive not having any heart attacks. But her life span is shortened dramatically. Sad shes not on a major weight loss program.
I just saw her movie Breakthrough and she was excellent in it. However you can not watch her without think any minute she is going to have a heart attack.
Food addiction is a real thing and it sucks.
She’s killing herself.
She is beautiful, how would you like someone you don’t know pointing out your flaws for the world to see.
Well said ?
This woman is so fat. She should chew her food but not swallow it. She ate the whole thing. It is disgusting for a younger person to be so HUGE!! How in the devil does she manage to be employed. Oh well – to each his own. YUCK !!
She will die soon from a major heart attack.
I feel so sorry for her. She doesn’t seem to realize that her weight is going to drastically shorten her life. I wish someone would tell her that and also tell her the only true way for her to lose weight & keep it off, there-by extending her life at least health wise, is gastric by-pass surgery. It is not a fast or easy out, it takes work & discipline but it does make that work really pay off. Five of us in my family had this life saving surgery in 1996, including me. We had to do it the hard way, flayed like a fish. Now they do it laparoscopically. I know from whence I speak. My mom lived till 2018, passing at 93. I am 75 & going strong, my brother passed from drug OD, the other two are doing well and nearing their 60’s. She is so beautiful & talented. Please someone clue her in.
Shame on all of you to the ones being so cruel! Do you think she doesn’t already know how this affects her life? You think it is so easy for people to lose weight? Some people drink and some people do drugs, some people have a gambling problem and some have a spending problem and some have a smoking problem and yes some people over eat. No one knows what has happened in her life. I am so tired of people being so judgmental and so cruel. I think you cruel people should just worry about yourselves.
Amen! She’s a beautiful and talented actress. She deserves your praise and not your judgmental pity.
I wish others were well mannered and kind like you marylou.
KC well said!
Wonder what she is for Halloween
Probably a pumpkin Pete! Lol
She does not look like she has lost any weight. I fear she will not live a long life, really should lose weight, she is so pretty a shame.
It’s absolutely amazing to me how we overlook other peoples devices and feel sorry for them when they are alcoholics or drug addicts. But when it comes to people with weight issues, we’re so incredibly cruel as if this is something they can fix themselves, whereas people with other addictions need help. People who are overweight got that way for a reason, and it’s usually some kind of trauma or other psychological issue. If you really want to know how Chrissy Metz got that way, go read her latest article in guidepost magazine. The incredible thing about Chrissy Metz is that at least she’s making something of her life and sharing her experiences with others. You can’t really say that from most other people with addiction problems. Most people who are overweight had issues of low self-worth and feelings of in adequacy growing up and they turn to food just like drug adicts And alcoholic’s turn to drugs and alcohol. If you’re going to be cruel, at least be an equal opportunity cruel person. Say how awful it is that people are addicted to drugs and alcohol as well.
Spot on, Joanna! The most educted post here. I’m sure she has her personal trainer and nutritionist guiding her with her progress. Hell, her body is probably healthier than a lot of people that have previously commented. AND she’s successful!! :p #CarryOnChrissy
If she’s not careful she’s going to end up with diabetes and heart disease.
Let us be kind for the planet is getting smaller and smaller. If you saw Chrissy in movie Breakthrough you’ll know how gifted she is
I have dealt with weight problems since I turned 40. I was put on medication that had a side-effect of increasing hunger and weight gain. I still struggle with it and I am 66 years old! I look at Chrissy Metz and think she is a beautiful young lady with so much talent. I also think that if she doesn’t lose this weight, she may be diagnosed with Type II Diabetes like I am. My joints have also been affected. I wish I had the nerve to get weight loss surgery. I stay on a low-carb diet most of the time. My knees are shot and I now need knee replacements. She lost 100 lbs. once, I read, by eating 2,000 calories a day & exercising on treadmill 20 minutes per day. She could do it again! I just hope wanting to keep her T.V. role doesn’t hinder her choices.
So fat!
Sarah…you are not nice!
I’m glad I’m not you’re friend.
You’re comment is ugly and rude!
Chrissy is a beautiful, talented actress. I hope she also healthy because I enjoy her acting so much and hope to watch her work for many more years.
Chrissy is beautiful. For the safety and health of her future she must lose weight. It appears she continues to gain weight. Great actress and I love her and Toby together.
she Needs to consume approx 3500-4000 calories a day to maintain her weight. That’s a lot of food. If she cut down to even 2500 calories which is still quite a bit, she would lose 50 pounds which would make a difference to her health. I hope she tries something soo, she seems like such a nice person
I’d venture a guess that she consumes more like 5,000-7,000 calories a day …. mostly Starch and Junk / Fast Food. I whipped myself into shape with The Atkins Diet (tastiest foods you can imagine) and went from 260 to 180 in less than six months. I’m holding at 172.
