Is Michelle Trachtenberg Gaining Weight?
Is it my imagination, or has Michelle Trachtenberg put on a bit of weight recently?
The weight gain seems most noticeable in her arms and legs… granted, she still looks gorgeous and healthy.
What do you all think?

She’s pretty but who is she? She looks familiar but can’t place her. What is she famous for?

she looks great, its unfortunate the wieght doesn’t go to her chest but heck we can’t have it all
i think her legs look rather nice

Her legs don’t look defined at all. The girl’s quite tiny, but she seems to have cankles in those pictures.

She’s definitely gained some weight, but it’s normal for girls leaving adolescence. Just look at Mischa Barton! There is a vast difference between your teenage body and the body you genetically inherit as a woman. I don’t think she’s fat, I just think she’s filling out.

Yeah she seems a little heavier that in her Buffy days but still slim. Most likely just natural weight gain as she is getting a little older and not a kid anymore.
By Steph on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
She has, but as everyone else has said, that’s pretty normal once you leave your teenage years.
She’s got such a stunning face though.

She played Buffy’s little sister Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

i do not understand all these girls who have small waists and fat legs– it’s the opposite for me. how on earth does someone gain weight in their ANKLES for god’s sakes? what does that feel like!?
By Mek on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
gained but like people have said, in a normal-i’m-finally-popping-in-the-hips kind of way

I’ve always thought she was beautiful, and I love her coloring. I do not love that dress, however. I think it does unfortunate things to her figure.

she looks completely photoshoped like someone tried to make her look like she gained..or even lost. so i dont know if i trust this one

I agree — the picture looks ’shopped to me.
By Emily on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Photoshoped for sure, look at the arms and legs they have odd bumps that look to be caused by a crappy shop job
By salsa on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Not photoshopped. However, the lighting and shadowing in the image coupled with her lily white skin under a black shiny dress presents some really awful photos. Although she has probably gained, I think this photo-opportunity was not flattering for her.

She’s definitely filled out, but not in a bad way. She’s sooo much prettier now!
By Generosa on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
There are pictures of her at another event (this week) and she looks her normal and skinny self. These are weird pictures. I doubt she gained 20 pounds in one day.
I love how pale she is!

YES!!!!
Wasn’t she like SUPER thin in Eurotrip?? On that nude beach she was skinny as…
By Hunter on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Although I think she looks pretty, she does not look like she is physically fit (works out or eats healthily).
By Alice on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Photoshopped… Look at her arms and legs. They’re all blurry and bobbly. The person who photoshopped these didn’t do a very good job!
Having said that, she still looks amazing!
By daisii on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
yeaa i think they looked photshopped too
and in thes econd pic, doesnt it look like shes sucking in er cheeks to make her face more defined?
maybe its just me..
By turtlepop on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Holy moly, haven’t seen her since her Buffy days! She’s all growed up!. I agree that these are photoshopped (badly). She’s looking great otherwise.
By barney on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
mazz you are correct about her film called Eurotrip a few years back. I also remember her to be skinny at that time. When she was on the nude beach I was so impressed when I saw her beautiful rib cage. With her increasing fat legs, I would not expect her to display any ribs at all these days.

By Denise on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
She is heavier and her legs are very untoned.
By PoliteTia on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
OMG! She use to be so thin. She should wear stocking. The weight gain in her legs is not attractive, but she is so adorable.
By lala on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
completely photoshopped….like the people above said you can see it on her arms and legs, you can see it in her cheek bone too.
By Megan on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
That has to be photoshopped. And a poorly done one too. Her face is still very thin. She wouldn’t have ‘Miss Piggy legs’ with that thin of a face. Her arms look weird too.

She gains weight in her arms…she does look a little thicker than she has in the past, but not horrible. She should tone up though…she’s got mushy-looking limbs.

Photoshopped bigtime. Look at her arms - not her!

Definitely gained.
By Lawrence on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
the legs are not so elegant…she looks pear shaped, but her upper body looks slim
By Zahary on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
she needs
1. Sun
2. a gym
3. a mirror
I have always thought she was super super gorgeous -especially in eurotrip and buffy, but in these pics she looks… well… average.

She was also the character “Nona” on “The Adventures of Pete and Pete” back in the day on Nickelodeon
weight gain or not, whatever, she looks beautiful in these pictures.
By Daisy on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
I personally do not care for her looks and it appears that all the junk she assumably consumed as a teenager has haunted her hideous limbs. Eat healthy children
By lambman on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Um is it just me or does her arm have ripples in pic 2? This clearly is fake, also in pic 2 her face looks thinner than the last time I saw her but her body looks bigger.
Somebody messed with these pics I think, Michelle has always been very skinny, I doubt if she suddenly put on 15 lbs it would all go to her arms and legs and none to her stomach and chest.
By lambman on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
To thsoe who asked, Michelle was first on Pete and Pete (my fav show as a kid) and then was Harriet the Spy and then Buffy’s sister and in Europ Trip.
She is absolutely stunning and very talented

It’s weird. Her shoulders are slim, but then her arms just bulge out of nowhere. And I can’t believe her legs!! It’s not that they’re fat, but they just seem so out-of-proportion compared to the rest of her body!
By jackie treehorn on Mar 21, 2008 | Reply
she looked better when she was skinny like in eurotrip, in my opinion.
i’d be willing to bet these pics are photoshopped though, they sure look like it.

She is getting bigger. She should really get that under control, weight isn’t becoming on her - she’s getting a body like Mischa Barton.

look at her arms in the 2nd pic, that does look like a bad photoshop to me. but i think she would also look beautiful with that body, love her face

i like her first pic above. looks cute and pretty. i saw her rencently pics about her true life on intimatemingle dotcom which is a dating site for interracial singles. she is really funny on those pics, i love the girl.

Shes so pretty. I love her smile, she seems really pleased all the time, and she has a great body. She looked very weird when she was skinny.
This looks like the perfect weight for her.

Are you guys really that stupid, her arms looks te way they do in the 2nd pic, cuz the pic is sized smaller, and that makes it all *ucked up. C’mon!

Def has put on some weight. Her legs look like Mischa Barton’s…unfortunate.
By Kay on Mar 21, 2008 | Reply
It is possible to gain weight in arms and legs as opposed to chest/stomach. It happens to me. It’s the worst body type out there, imo.
By rebecca on Mar 21, 2008 | Reply
I’d say she’s one the MOST BEAUTIFUL celebrities out there. A face to rival kate moss’s. And at the moment real show stopping looks are all too rare.
She’s gained a stone in ‘woman’ weight and good on her! I wish there were more women around like this in the uk - Instead of posh and Girls ‘average’ aloud.

She’s a lovely young woman. No sex tapes, no nude pictures showing up on the internet, no getting out of cars with her twat hanging out, no drugs and alcohol stories and time spent in rehab. Who gives a rats ass what her legs look like? In my opinion, she’s absolutely beautiful.

I don’t know who this woman is, but I think she looks great. My personal opinion is not everyone has to be bone thin to be beautiful. She looks wholesome and natural and a normal weight.

She looks to be a normal weight, but her legs are awful. I am definately glad I did not get the cankles gene….

Yes, her legs aren’t sticks. However, I think she looks refreshingly healthy. I also absolutely love her skin color, she represents the beauty that pale brunettes have in a sea of fake tanned bottle blondes!

1/2 Lohan blended with
1/2 Kirstie Ally yields Michelle w/ cankles?
By stahravinne on Mar 21, 2008 | Reply
she’s really cute - i think her thighs and calves definitely look toned - perhaps that’s where people are getting the idea of ‘cankles’ from? certain body types look that way with certain kinds of exercise (think gymnasts and ballerinas for instance - majorly toned but kinda cankle-y). her arms look really skinny to me. i like her figure except that she’s majorly flat-chested… her face is really cute
nice cheekbones!
