Is Carrie Underwood Getting Too Thin?
Is Carrie Underwood going too far with her weight loss?
TMZ recently posted a before and after photo of Carrie, but it appears to be altered:
When I first saw that photo, I was shocked at how thin she now appears. However, I found some other (although slightly blurry) pictures of Carrie’s performance from that same night, and she doesn’t look quite that skinny. It looks like someone got busy with Photoshop.
See the difference in the arms, near the elbow?
While Carrie does appear even thinner than before, I don’t think it’s gotten to the “scary skinny” category yet.

I think she looks really gorgeous here! I don’t think they’re photoshopped. She looked really thin at the Grammys too.

Shes still pretty damn slim! def lost loads of weight in comparison to the other pic but i think she should stop now, she doesnt need to be any slimmer.

She looks to be at a healthy weight to me.

I’ve gotta admit, I was shocked when she appeared on stage on AI last night, but as the performance went on i didn’t think that she looked quite anorexic…just a big change from where she was before. I’d say that she definitely has eating issues. I won’t be surprised if she is way skeletal soon!

her arms only look to skinny in the first pic to me. In the pics of her hold the mic they look fine to me.

That picture looks very photoshopped to me, especially her left upper-arm.
She was cute before but now she looks absolutely fantastic. She should stay at this weight and not lose any more.

well watching american idol last night that first picture looks pretty accurate to me. like her arms did look that skinny when she would move certain ways.

No, she looks great.

I think she looks horrible, she looked great to start with and now she has given in to this hollywood pressure to lose weight. Why can’t people be thier normal selves?

She doesn’t have eating issues, she has nose candy issues. I think she looks flawless, but she definitely isn’t the Oklahoma girl she used to be.

She looks older now, probably the lighting is different in both pictures.

She looks very thin in the arms but that’s not to say she’s skinny through out. Honestly she looks good.
By Erika on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
I saw her on American Idol the other night (this is the picture you have posted of her) and I was shocked how skinny she was. Especially her arms, they are bony. I agree with Sarah - I think she will just get skinnier and skinnier.
By tima on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
She looks good but she does look much skinnier than she did before. I read she is a strict vegetarian now and that she works out atleast 3 times a week.
By joanna on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
i think she needs to stop losing weight. i think she should actually gain some weight. she wasn’t in need of weight loss to begin with–to me it just looks like she needed to get toned. but instead she went to the “bony” side. Tsk tsk.

I dont think anyone should worry shes too thin, she looks good at this size.
By n on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
Whoa! She had some giant-ass arms before. I think she looks fine now. She’s like a prettier version of Reese Witherspoon.
By ln on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
not phototshopped… if you saw AI last night you would have seen how thin she looked.
By Jesse D on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
She looks like a damn skeleton. Such a shame - she would be a pretty girl if she had some meat on them bones.
By apricotmuffins on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
somewhere between the two would be perfect for her. she’s lost too much weight now.
By Cherry on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
I saw IA last night and when she came on I immediately thought I would see pics of her on this site today. That pic is real. She looks ok right now, but if she loses anymore I think her face will start to look bad.

She’s always been a vegetarian.
She looks good.

I thought that she looked super thin when I saw her last night. Esp her legs!
By Eileen on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
I liked her better at a higher weight, because it just added to her small town, not hollywood messed up look. I think the only reason she looks so thing is because she was on the bigger side before. They are plenty of people that same size and we don’t think they are too thin…it’s just the comparison that is making her look like that. I love Carrie and I think she is gorgeous!!

white trash no matter what her weight is..
By ThisGirl on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
Uh, what? The photo on the left isn’t photoshopped. I saw her performance on the show last night and she didn’t look overly skinny, but than again the camera does add on pounds.
The photo on the right, however, is very photoshopped. Her face and arms were NEVER that fat. She looks like a cow and it’s obvious that the photo’s been blown up. It almost makes her look like a pig.

Uh, if she’s not too skinny yet, she’s almost there
By elise on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
I’m still loving her new body but I guess it’s always alarming when an already normal weight person drops this much weight. Five more pounds and she’d definitely be borderline skeletal.
By katie on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
i think she’s 5′5″ and 115, so she is really thin - but she’s not skeletal yet. she looks good she’s soo pretty!
By goolia on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
i think shes at a healthy weight and looks really good
By Sassy on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
Yes she really was that size at the start of American Idol. You could see the weight coming off throughout the time she was a contestant. Now she is really skinny. Oh and she DOES kinda look like Reese but not prettier.
By laura on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
she looks older because when she lost all that weight, it came off her face, it always makes you look older.
her arms look not good though.
By Maxx05 on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
I watched AI last night, and she looked great. She definitely needed to lose the weight that she did, and now she’s an absolute knockout. Before she looked too hefty, and her arms were floppy without an ounce of muscletone. She looks much healthier now.
By anne on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
agreed, they did do photoshopping.
By Jenna on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
wow, she did lose a lot of weight though. she doesn’t look too bad though i almost prefer her before to after.
By Louise on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
It wasn’t photoshopped!! My sister and I saw the show and we both noticed how thin her arms and her thighs were!
By yowsers on Mar 9, 2007 | Reply
well, if TV adds 10lbs (as they say), she’s got trouble
By Ellie on Mar 10, 2007 | Reply
1. Not photoshopped, if it was you can’t even tell the difference.
2. She looks good. I don’t think she should lose more weight though.

she doesnt look that healthy… gain a few then yea
By Denise on Mar 10, 2007 | Reply
Dear God man her skin is not Grey, you might want to get to the eye doctor STAT!! She is at the perfect weight, I honestly think that you people are just bored and unhappy with your lives so you have to pick on someone about anything. Before everyone said she was to fat and now she’s to skinny. Maybe you should start looking at yourselves and try to improve on the mess you see in the mirror instead of wasting your life away worrying about someone else. Pathetic.

I totally agee with Denise, some people out there obviously need to pick on others who are much prettier to make themselves feel better.

It’s actually more pathetic when people post about people posting as pathetic when in fact they themselves are posting. eh. She looks Hollywood approved thin, and losing a couple more pounds could catapult her to nicole ritche fame.
By Trish on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
Way too skinny now, she looked good awhile back, now she has no meat or curves and is gross.
By D-Anna on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
i will admit it, i was watching american idol when carrie underwood sang. at first when she came out, because of her arms and everything i though she was really skinny; a big contrast to her full figure when she was actually on the show. but then, as she kept singing she didn’t look that skinny. i think its more the contrast from what she used to be to what she is now (average non-hollywood standard to very slim) that is the most shocking. (rather then her actual weight now).
By marebear on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
They aren’t photoshopped… if you go to gettyimages it has the exact same picture and it looks exactly the same. She is VERY thin and could probably stand to gain a few.

eat, girl!
By Jewel on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
I agree with D-Anna
When I lost about 10 pounds, the only people who commented on how skinny I was were the ones who knew me from before. People I met after losing the weight never thought I was too skinny because they hadn’t seen me before.
By Jewel on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
Oh yeah…point being, I don’t think she is too thin (yet)
By SkinnyBee on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
I also watched her the other night and thought she might pop up here- I think she looks great.
I don’t think she’s too thin.
And just so I don’t get accused of being pro-ana, I don’t think she was ever fat or needed to lose weight in the first place. I simply like this look better.
By Michelle on Mar 11, 2007 | Reply
She looks great both ways. Before she looked like your average girl. Not chunky, not fat, just average. Get with the times, people. The average size is what…a 14? And growing? Now she just looks like your average “hollywood” girl. Slimmer, toned, fit. That’s all. She looks amazing in both scenarios. As long as she’s happy it doesn’t matter.

That picture from May is definetly photoshopped. She was not that big.
By sowhat on Mar 12, 2007 | Reply
I agree with Joanna - I don’t think she was fat before just needed to tone up.
I think she is a little on the thin side now. Not skeletal yet but she is on her way. I think she is gorgeous but she should put on about 5 lbs.

I thought she was beautiful before & even more so now. My question;why for the love of god is it when women lose weight ,the boobs are the first to go. Is it worth weighing five or ten lbs more & have boobage or lose the weight & fit clothes better. Yes, I realize I’m vain. Am I the only one to go through this????
By Laura on Mar 20, 2007 | Reply
Prefered her before… Her face looked better.
And #64 YES! LOL! It is SO annoying! I can keep my c cup and look average, or be slim and have absolutely ZERO chest! Like I end up with Pecs.
By fi on Mar 24, 2007 | Reply
I was shocked when i saw her on american idol. i was eating at the time and she put me off my food! but i dont think shes too skinny. she looks completely different to when she was a contestant.
no.64 i know what you mean ive lost 10 pounds and it seems its all boob!! but now men dont just stare at my chest, and they dont get in the way as much. but if you loose too much weight they go completely.

Saw her her on SNL last night and the pecular thin was she didn’t look as thin, just normal. Pretty sure it wasn’t a repeat.
By rose-an on Apr 3, 2007 | Reply
she has said in an interview that she isn’t doing anything unhealthy to lose the weight. i think that she just appears to be too thin because of her height and stuff, but she seems healthy and well, so whatever…

No, Carrie does not look too thin. It wouldn’t matter anyway because, to me, she would still be smokin’ hot.

Who really cares how skinny she or anyone else is? This is the problem with modern society…people are so weight-obsessed and concerned with other people’s weight usually in order to take the focus off of their own image insecurities. Do you honestly think that Carrie Underwood or anyone else really cares about what total strangers think of her weight? I assume that she would have alot more important things to deal with…just like those people who criticize her weight should have.
It’s negative “criticism” about people’s weight that instigates image problems in young girls today. Are we all really that bored with our lives that we have to run blog about how skinny someone who we’ve never met, doesn’t really care what we think anyway, and is not a major influence in our everyday world? And by the way, I can say from experience that it’s usually the poeple who feel it necessary to rip other people apart for their weight who have their own weight problems that they should be dealing with instead.

By Peyton on Oct 23, 2007 | Reply
sure she looks like she dropped a couple lbs, but she looks good - healthy. not emaciated. and anyone can take a picture with a bad angle and pair it next to one taken at a more flattering angle and point out the differences. In the “before” she is laughing and as a result has a slight double chin. in the “after” her chin in thrust forward. its all about how you angle the camera folks.
