Britney Spears Didn’t Lose 15 Pounds

Written on April 4, 2008 – 8:52 am | by Rian |

By now you have probably all heard about and seen the latest cover of “OK Magazine” that claims Britney has lost 15 pounds:

0402_brit_glamour_ok.jpg

The problem with the cover is that the photo they used is from five years ago, when she posed for Glamour Magazine!

I know tabloids are known for making up stories, but this is a new low.

Anyway, here are some REAL and NEW pictures of Britney Spears from just a couple of days ago. And it does not look like she has lost any weight…

    FIRST!! I think she looks good. I think she looks really great compared to how she has been looking for the last several years. Hey, does anyone know about how much she weighs in these pics??

    Gahhh. She looks like she’s been roasting for several hours and is ready to serve.

    Does she look “healthier”? Yes, sorta.
    Does she look thinner? Heck no. No change!
    The woman looks like she pigs out constantly and her tummy shows it. She isn’t fat at all, but she is very soft and pudgy.

    kinda funny in the before pic she looks thinner, and in the nre pics of her, she looks like she has gained a litle,.. but overall she looks much better

    p.s it’d be silly to think you could actually get real weight stats from any source, or anyone in here…everyone is differently built and weight fluctuates, so you don’t know and you won’t know unless someone steps on a scale for you.

    perhaps shes just found a comfortable weight for herself and chosen to maintain it. if thats the case than good for her! she has realized that striving to be pin thin among other things makes you crazy!

    I love how Okay doesn’t even care that her hair does not REMOTELY look the way it does now!! Especially ignoring the shaved head and need for extensions….it’s so obviously an old photo!! what a joke

    Compared to how she has been looking I would say she looks a whole lot better. Her hair still looks like a mess but at least it looks washed. She isn’t walking around showing her ‘britney’. She seems like she is possibly getting better.

    She needs to find a bra that fits.

    Yes, she does need to find a bra that fits properly. At least she is wearing a bra in these pictures.

    She doesn’t look disheveled anymore, I guess that’s a plus side. I don’t know why, but I want her to get her life back on track and get her kids back, her life back and career. I just feel sorry for her-it’s hard enough to be treated for a mental illness in private, never mind having paparazzi and everyone else watching every move you make.

    She isn’t slim, or fit, or looking good, but at least she’s clothed and upright. I too, hope she gets her life back on track — she has two little guys who need a moms.

    I love Britney, always have and always will. She may not be in the best shape of her life right now, but she is alive and trying to get her entire world back on track. Lets give her a break. I’m sure once she is completely mentally healthy, then she will focus on getting in shape. She probably cringes everytime she looks in the mirror and doesnt see that same body she had so many years ago, but who could expect her to? Shes had two kids and a mental breakdown. I think she is prioritzing correctly (or maybe I should say her father is )…She is taking steps to get her children back in her life, she is trying to revive her career, and become mentally stable. Once she is truly happy again, I would be willing to put money on it, that she will start respecting herself and her body and then get back into the best shape of her life.

    Rather than being completely heartless and talking about her choice of clothing and her size, and why she isnt wearing a bra, why dont we just rejoice that she is still alive and getting better???

  20. By Mouse on Apr 4, 2008 | Reply

    heavier or not, she’s getting her life back together and I’m so happy to see that. Yes suzy, this is a far better look than torn, stained and exposed.

  21. By Erin on Apr 4, 2008 | Reply

    Firstly, she does need a bra that fits. But give the girl some slack! She’s trying to get back on track from all the drug use. I’m sure weight loss is important, but it should be way down the list after getting herself sorted (healthwise), and getting her children sorted.

    i just can’t help but feel bad for her. a mother without her children is not complete, and i know it’s of HER OWN doing, and yes, they probly are better off……but still whenever i see a pic of her it makes me want to c. (btw-i’ve never been a fan of britney)

    why would any magasine want to report about such an insignificant story even if its fake

  24. By Vajney on Apr 4, 2008 | Reply

    I was never a fan of hers-except when she did a couple of songs that didn’t suck (I’m a slave 4 u, don’t let me be the last to know. do sumthin, etc..and her Blackout album) until she became mentally ill (i’ve been there before) and I realized how bangin and talented she was in contrast to a couple of months ago. That bing said, she looks increfible right now considering how rocky the past 2 years has been. The camera adds weight (I know this as I am about the same height as her and prob a little heavier-126 lbs. She is at most 120 lbs (she probably started working out 1/2 hour a day and eating like 1800 cals a day - (not bad, but not psycho hollywood standars) which is relatively good for a normal person, but it will take intense effort (as it would for everyone) to get back to her 103 lbs days (so she looks 118 in photos).

    That Britney is looking awful…
    She is fat, really, I mean when you see pictures of her you can see that big face, a total mess. She looks very average, like any chunky girl, nothing like a celeb. She lost all her shine…

    She looks to be pregnant - I could be wrong, of course, but her stomach appears to have more of a ‘pregnant’ look than a heavy one.

    She definitely has not dropped 15 lbs, but she really, really needs to. Maybe 20. If she tried hard enough I’m sure she could look as good as she used to, but she seems to have no desire to do so.

    i mean, really. i’m sure she could stand to eat healthier, but as far as body weight goes, i think she looks fine. far better than today’s average american; atleast she isn’t underweight / obese.

    It’s amazing more people aren’t outraged…esp Glamour magazine…
    this is why there are so many girls with eating disorcers…major media distortion…airbrushing, lighting, make-up, etc.
    I read in one of the gossip mags about all the “work” that was done on Brit for the How I Met Your Mother appearance and it’s incredible from hair straightening, lighting tricks, tanning, make-up, etc
    And her part wasn’t even very long!

    Too bad she just got together with the wrong guy and totally made her lose her cool for a bit.
    But I think she looks decent.. she is ‘curvier’. I wouldnt exactly call her fat because she does have a waistline. She’d be rockin if she took a little longer to prepare herself with a nice hairstyle and cuter clothes that flattered her figure.

    I think that as Sarah pointed out, Britney priorities are getting her life back, not worrying about her weight at this time. I agree with this one. Once she is more together she can focus on getting in shape, she’s been through quite a time of it. She doesn’t look thin or fit right now, but she can deal with that later, and she’s lucky that she didn’t overdose with all of the drugs she’d been consuming. I hope she continues to get well.

    it takes a while to get back in shape the right way, people. if the world didn’t put britney under the microscope, she’d look much thinner to us now that she does… because we’d see how far she HAS come in the last few months… i’d like to see anyone here be able to do that.

    As far as losing 15 lbs in 4 weeks, thats not even reccommended by a doctor to lose weight that fast…

    she looks healthy and normal but i agree i’d love to see her in a bigger variety of shoes… but also agree that other celebs are just as annoying like lohan with her friggin tights.

    also i agree, i dont understand her obsession with looking like her hair is longer than it is. go short. it could be cute!!

  57. By angela on Apr 4, 2008 | Reply

    ps… the qualify doctors reccommend an average weight loss of no more than 2 lbs a week…

    so my point was as many doctors as watch britney theres no way they’d let her do that.

    and besides if she got all super skinny again i wonder how many people would be on here going… oh my god britney has an eating disorder, oh my god, britney is doing cocaine, whatever.

    a lot of mental illness medications do make you gain weight. But she is looking better all around. She is not out partying every night, and she is covering up, not showing her vajayjay t the universe. Right now, she is trying to get her life back on track, become mentally stable, get her priorities straight. When it comes the time to start working out and geting into a routine again, then she will get more muscle. I still dont think she is fat or even chubby. So she doesnt have the abs and body she used to, well neither do many women why have had 2 chilren and a lot of mental difficulties before the age of 30.

    Keep it up Brit, on the way to success

    Regardless of her other issues…she doesn’t NEED to lose weight. She is not overweight. If she wants to get into better shape at some point then more power to her but it’s not like she has a weight problem (only by Hollywood’s standards).

  68. By Vajney on Apr 6, 2008 | Reply

    She is about 5′4″. The camera does add about 15 lbs. I had a body like her “don’t let me be the last to know video” when I was in highschool at about 116 lbs, so I am guessing she was like 103 lbs. In the 2001 rolling stone article, she was described as “really tiny”, and other sources describe her as being a size 0 at one point. Now I am 126 lbs and I look America Ferrara’s size in pictures. I saw Kina from Real World/Road Rules challenge, on tv she looks like a robust 6-8.but in real life she’s like a size 3-4. Britney’s dress from HIMYM is being auctioned off, and it is a size 6, probably closer to 4 with that designer, which I was at 120 lbs. For reference, Erin Moran is 5′4″ and 127 lbs on Celebrity Fit Club. It’s incredible that Britney is at that 120 lbs considering that’s what I weigh when i am actually in shape.

  69. By SarahK on Apr 6, 2008 | Reply

    I just really want to see her without the extensions. Wasn’t it a year ago that she shaved her head? Her hair has got to be at least 6 inches long by now (assuming her hair grows at an average rate.) She would look much better with a short bob than with that cheap fake hair.

    I think she squeezed into a size 4 or 6 in the recent photos (jeans), and her waist is bulging a little. Past 130 lbs for sure. I don’t buy the camera added 10 lbs b.s. myth, especially for a photo this straight on. Did it add 10 lbs to that glass she’s holding? How about to the cigarette disposal stand? Boy, the camera sure made her sunglasses look chubby… 10 lb heavier tree branches? Nope.. well, then how the hell would only the person in the picture appear larger? She needs to tone up. Period.

  74. By Amy on Apr 30, 2008 | Reply

    Vajney,
    Do you really believe Erin Moran actually only weighs 124? I don’t believe those numbers for a second, she looks more in the 150 range, which is a far cry from the 10-15 lbs the camera adds. I think she agreed to be on the show if they distorted the numbers, but who cares. If she does indeed weigh only 124 lbs then her body fat must be in the 80% range -when normal is 15-24% because she is absolutely fat.

  75. By Vajney on May 5, 2008 | Reply

    Whoa! Posts this late? I wonder if anyone will read this post. Anyway, the camera adds weight because light deflects off of different materials differently.Most inanimate objects are composed of one type of material, but living things, such as britney, are composed of fat, bone, muscle, etc. It’s the same way those body fat scales work, by passing wavers thru u, and seeing how long they take to come back. Britney definitley does have a body fat percentage nearing 30%, where most celebrities aim for 14-15 % If she had more muscle, she would appear closer to her actual weight on TV. I still stand by Britney’s weight at in the low 120’s range. Erin moran’s body fat percentage was 33%. If she wanted them to tweak the #’s, she would have had them tweak her face and attitude too….
