Jessica Stroup: Before & After

September 5th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Before & After, The New 90210, Jessica Stroup.

Someone emailed me this before & after picture of Jessica Stroup when she played in “Prom Night” (from earlier this year) and last month at the CW party…

jessica-stroup-2.jpg

What a major difference… and now she looks even thinner (see the post below this one).

I wonder when the tabloid eating disorder rumors are going to start…?

    Yikes. That’s a good 30lbs gone!

  2. püpiiii | 5/09/08

    omg cant believe thats the same person

  3. Hirsch | 5/09/08

    this is very sad

  4. meagain | 5/09/08

    if they haven’t already started…. were probably doing it now…. and GOOD. if she is sick, she needs to get help… if she’s not, then girls need to know that she is ABNORMAL and they shouldnn’t try to achieve this ridiculous look. i just can’t forsee a way to get this thin in any sort of healthy way.(assuming her before is her more natural weight, and not forced weight gain.) ew.

  5. Fashionista | 5/09/08

    That doesn’t look like the same person at all.. but I have to say, I do think she looks good now too…

  6. b.SL | 5/09/08

    She looks so thin she’s ugly. There’s not way she lost all of that weight by just not eating, and that’s disgusting too. She looked a little untoned now, but now she looks icky. At least Nicole Richie was kind of cute when she was tiny (not in her severly tiny stage, tho.)
    This is a ploy for attention, which sickens me, but also makes me really sad.

  7. b.SL | 5/09/08

    *sorry… untoned before

  8. ScorpioSmithGirl | 5/09/08

    She looked better before in my opinion; a lot better!

  9. Elen | 5/09/08

    It’s called COCAINE.

  10. Joanna | 5/09/08

    i agree she looks ugly now, and her current body and whatever she did to lose all the weight within such a short time cannot be healthy.
    interestingly though, she looks happy. Usually these girls with eating disorders look miserable.

  11. Ali | 5/09/08

    I think she looks better in the second photo, but the post below makes her look skeletal. She could have acheived an even better body just by working out more.

  12. StarSpy | 5/09/08

    I agree with fashionista…doesn’t even look like the same person!

  13. MexiicanGuera | 5/09/08

    anorexia
    body dysmorphia
    narcotic addiction
    A
    gift bag!!!!
    and the price of fame
    for a gullable and insecure little woman.

  14. hey | 5/09/08

    i think she gained some weight before Prom Night. because she was much skinnier in The Hills Have Eyes 2.

  15. Fliss | 5/09/08

    to be fair, she has never ever been fat. that photo isn’t particularly flattering, but she is still slim & fit in that film. but, i will admit she has lost a hell of a lot of weight this year! worrying!

  16. Kiss My Kiwi | 5/09/08

    OH. Wow, that is a major difference. I don’t actually think she looks too bad in the first picture -she would look better if her posture was better. Even her face looks softer in the before pic.
    She is definitely skinny now - bordering scary skinny

  17. Erica | 5/09/08

    She’s the most scary skinny celeb I’ve seen since Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth’s scary skinny days. Actually, she might be worse than them. She looks like she dropped from a good weight of about 125-130 in that before pic, to like 100 lbs or less!

  18. Persephone | 5/09/08

    she has lost a lot of weight. She will probably use the excuse that she lost a lot of baby fat.

  19. MEME | 5/09/08

    Wow she was the girl from “Prom Night”? I didn’t even recognize her in the newer pictures. She looks so pretty in the before. Now she’s an emaciated ghost.

  20. Lorie | 5/09/08

    I think she looks awesome now … which is probably bad.

  21. tim | 5/09/08

    anyone that says she looks good now, is insane.. poor girl needs some help… should of stayed how she looked before

  22. Ashley | 5/09/08

    I think you have to be famous to have an eating disorder tabloid story.

  23. AnnieJ | 5/09/08

    She would look best somewhere in between those photos.

  24. katy | 5/09/08

    oh no I like the skinny look but this poor girl looks awful; I mean I’m tempted to say she was fat before but this just opens my eyes to how much more appealing it is to be a little overweight than underweight
    it’s such a shame because she has such a gorgeous face; she could be just perfect with another 15 lbs

  25. Eeek. | 5/09/08

    It looks to me like she is on Clenbuterol..

    It’s a drug many celebrities in Hollywood have been known to use recently [within the past couple years], starting when Rachel Zoe became the Go-To-Stylist to the stars. She’d have them take it to lose weight. Basically Clenbuterol (or Clen) is a tranquilizer that burns fat at the same time maintaining muscles. You don’t even have to work out or eat really healthy for it to work. It’s rumored that Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have all taken it. They were also all clients of Rachel Zoe at one time.

  26. shawna | 5/09/08

    producers are going to have to make her gain weight otherwise its going to be a badddd thing for young viewers to see. immediately within a minute of seeing this broad on tv..i knew she had a problem. this confirms it. thanks

  27. Nique | 5/09/08

    It is so obvious that this skinny her is not naturla. Tho I have to admit she looks good

  28. anonymous | 5/09/08

    her chest disappeared. anyway, she looks fab now!

  29. carla | 5/09/08

    I love really skinny, but this is just really anorexic.
    She looks like a kid with underweight.
    And I agree with AnnieJ
    She would look best somewhere in between those photos.

  30. asicsgirl | 5/09/08

    i do not think she looked good before.

  31. Mhmm | 5/09/08

    sick, sick, sick. i can barely even look at her now.

  32. Cassie | 5/09/08

    if anyone wants to see some more pics of her in her normal weight days a fan site called jessica-stroup.net has some older photos of her. =)

  33. so | 5/09/08

    she’s on drugs… or anorexic.

  34. ema | 5/09/08

    wow. thats just like nicole richie’s “befor and after” pictures.

    whats up with them?!
    man.

  35. KillerLegs | 5/09/08

    Wow you never would have thought such a beautiful body could come from the 1st picture but it did!!!

  36. alice cullen | 5/09/08

    she looks amazing in the first photo but she looks just terrible now. far far too thin.

  37. KillerLegs | 5/09/08

    :::Edited for ridiculousness::

    Killerlegs, you are about to get banned permanently - ALL of you many screen names. So please stop why you are ahead!

  38. greenbird | 5/09/08

    that’s pretty scary…wonder if her agent/any producers on her projects have said anything to her–not to mention her family…

  39. 90210 | 5/09/08

    She looked dumpy before now she looks refreshed and gorgeous.

  40. bella | 5/09/08

    well,she must have some ED,it’s obvious.the difference between her and nicole richie(i love her)is that nicole drops the weight in 2 years(2004-2006)this one in few months…so I believe nicole when she says she has not an ED but I don’t believe jessica is healthy.

  41. lili | 5/09/08

    Another one of the fake-skinnies. Why do they bother? They can’t stay thin anyway and just end up messing up their bodies and damaging their health.

  42. Lisa | 5/09/08

    She looked so much better in the before pic, her face was a lot prettier then.

  43. Christina | 5/09/08

    Wow, that is quite a difference. It just goes to show that people confuse being lean, fit, and slim with being thin.

  44. christinaberry | 5/09/08

    There is something to be said for having breasts…

  45. Rayna | 5/09/08

    She looks horribly skinny! If she had lost a couple pounds she would have been fine but she obviously went overboard. She would look perfect if she gained just 10 pounds.

  46. lovely | 5/09/08

    :::Edited for ridiculousness:::

  47. 97lbs | 5/09/08

    yes coke kills your appetite even more than amphetamines

  48. Dude | 5/09/08

    She does look better. Before, she was cute but a little chubby, now she is stunning and beautiful.

  49. PRINCESSLALA | 5/09/08

    She looks good both weights-she’s pretty so she can carry off being super skinny. She was slim before-she just had boobs and bit of flesh she wasn’t overweight in my opinion!

  50. mars in velvet | 5/09/08

    she looks better thinner. but she didn’t lose all that weight naturally, ed or coke i can’t possibly know, but i think she looks better.

  51. kelli | 5/09/08

    if you look at other stills from that movie, she doesn’t look very heavy, her posture in that picture (before) makes her look a lot bigger. but she has still definitely lost weight.

  52. Lucie | 5/09/08

    it’s sad because even if she was a chubster, she was really cute, the weight suited her well.

    I watched the first 2 episodes of 90210 and they definitely all look like a bunch of skeletons, even to me (I usually love my girls skinny but THAT is too much). In the 1st episode you see Jessica “eating” fries… mwahahaha!!

  53. skinnyminny | 5/09/08

    She looks a 100 times prettier before. Poor girl. :(

  54. Lucie | 5/09/08

    @kiss my kiwi: “bordering” scary skinny? You mean, giving a new definition to scary skinny!

    And I can’t believe ppl are sharing tips on what’s the best drug to lose weight… :-(

  55. eva | 5/09/08

    so not true!

    nicole richie ,on the firt two seasons of the “simple life” was chubby. and than- boom! on the third season she was like…30 pounds less.

    and two years hadnt pass in bitween, so i guess its really simillar to this jessica person.

  56. kt | 5/09/08

    wow she looks a lot better in her before picture

  57. grace | 5/09/08

    i like the second picture better,it’d be a shame if she did have a eating disorder,hence the thiness.she may just have a willpower of iron,some people do.

  58. Jessica | 5/09/08

    I do not think she was cute before but now I idolize her!! Good for her, for recognizing the problem and taking steps to correct it she looks great NOW.

  59. Kiss My Kiwi | 5/09/08

    Lucie,
    I was referring to this picture alone and based on that, I maintain my comment. The next set of pictures are a different story, however….

  60. > | 5/09/08

    SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT

  61. Someone Who Knows | 5/09/08

    I think she looks so much better now - she was chunky before. She was told by her agent to lose weight after “Prom Night”. She did, she looks much sexier, and because she took that advice, she landed a great starring role that most girls would kill for. What’s wrong with that?

    And it’s not coke - you can’t do that every day, silly people. It’s Adderall, a very strict diet, and a lot of cardio.

  62. Kat | 5/09/08

    This is the only “fat” picture of her. I googled her and I don’t see any others where she looks this chubby

  63. never enough | 5/09/08

    I am 97 and 5 foot 7 and she looks much vmaller than me she must be under 90 I swear.
    She is so pretty though when she weighs a little more and I also agree the sharing thin drugs is bad.

    By the way drugs destroy your skin. If you want clear skin and to be thin coke is NOT the way.

  64. alex | 5/09/08

    I can’t believe how STUPID some of these posts are honestly talking about doing drugs to make you thin? hahah you people are just sad

  65. christina | 5/09/08

    I think she’s just perfectly skinny and im afraid i want her body. call me sick. hahaha

  66. Taran | 5/09/08

    I hate to say it but this is what Hollywood does to a person. They have such a distorted view of what beautiful is and I can say this girl was a lot healthier and more beautiful in the before picture then the after. Three years ago I use to think scary skinny was beauty but it is distorted mind set brought on by Hollywood publicity. Now having a much healthier view of what beauty is I can truly say that the “after” picture of this girl is not it! Most likely it is drugs or an eating disorder…eating less than 1000 calories a day is an eating disorder unless you are 10 years old or under.

  67. Taran | 5/09/08

    By the way my sister in-law randomly dropped 30 pounds and was a perfectly normal girl living in the mid west…at the time I believed it was an eating disorder but to come and find out two years later it was meth and cocain. Drugs do make you thin…but not beautiful.

  68. Victoria | 5/09/08

    WOW. When I lost a lot of weight like that and was severely under my body’s “normal” weight I was MISERABLE. Alllllways hungry. How can she even smile?

  69. mia | 5/09/08

    to the girls who think she looks “great”. she’s a very beautiful girl, if it werent for the clothes, hair, makeup, fake tan… wouldn’t she just look like an extremely sick and fragile little person? i think some of you are just in love with an image. the majority of us would look like death warmed up at this weight, and some of us might actually be dead or close to.
    i hate people preaching at me, but all this just upsets me, so much. this woman can’t be fertile. is this happiness?
    sigh. :(

  70. Sara | 5/09/08

    WOW!
    I didn’t even recognize her and I saw that movie…
    Wow…thats just gross

  71. bella | 5/09/08

    eva-
    nicole richie during the third season of simple life(end of 2004) was not 30 lbs thinner than season 1 and 2!!nicole started to lose weight around september 2004 and during summer 2005 was at her best-ideal weight,she became super thin on december 2005 and august 2006.
    but nicole gained lot of weight in rehab,if you look at her when she was 18-20 she was slim.her weight loss was gradual,she didn’t lose 30 lbs in 5 months!!

  72. Persephone | 5/09/08

    ROFL @ the drug sharing tips not getting moderated when the only thing I said was she will say she lost baby fat.

  73. BMIlawsShouldCountinTV | 5/09/08

    Taran-

    Well are you sure it wasn’t both a drug problem and eating disorder? Because often people with body image issues will resort to taking a controlled substance to get slimmer.

    The only actress that it was spoke about was tracy gold whom had anorexia and had to leave the growing pains set.
    but that was back when not as many people had eds as we do now in 93 so she stood out. then she played “For the love of Nancy” as/ just after her recovery - the eating disorder movie.

    I would sign a petition saying I feel her BMI should be at or above 17.5. sorry but glamorizing an anorexic weight is just not good to every weak minded person watching the show. They should be weighed with clothes on, at a bmi above 17.5 to be ok’d for work in such a part.

    i like her body - i know it is not a good example and the gaining 10 pounds to be at 115 BMI 17.5 rule should be implied.

  74. ilovesugar | 5/09/08

    woh thats dramatic!
    She wasnt even ‘fat’ in the first photo. She actually looks younger, and cuter in the first (that dress shes wearing is deceiving and would make thin ppl look tummy puffy)
    She looks TOO thing, aged a bit. She needs to be somewhere inthe middle of the 2 to look nice.

  75. Rian | 5/09/08

    Seriously you guys… I shouldn’t even have to say this but sharing tips about illegal drugs is not allowed on this site. The next one I see will get the person banned.

  76. mia | 5/09/08

    to !!
    that’s bad logic. you could be anorexic and eating 1,200 a day. as long as you’re burning more than you’re consuming, you’re losing weight. nobody can mantain a healthy weight at 1000cals a day. even if you slept all day and night and ate 1000cals you’d still lose about a pound a week.
    you obviously hang around with some serious under-eaters.

  77. katie o | 5/09/08

    “a lot of people eat less than 1,000 calories - i thought a starvation diet was under 800 and anorexic was 600 or less ”

    there’s no defined calorie amount for anorexia. I was anorexic and eating over 600, possibly over 1000, but not by much. I’m still sad I threw out my old food journals because it still shocks me to remember what I thought was an appropriate amount of food. Stroup needs some help, actually both girls on that show- they were gross in the premiere.

  78. purpleplague | 5/09/08

    “a lot of people eat less than 1,000 calories - i thought a starvation diet was under 800 and anorexic was 600 or less”

    WRONG. 1200 a day is considered “dieting”, 1,000 is considered dangerous, and under 900 is starvation.

    I was anorexic while eating 1000 calories a day. No, not just in mind, but physically as well. BMI 10.7. I understand though that some people would not reach that low of a BMI on 1000 calories a day. EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT. Don’t generalize. You can only speak for yourself.

  79. Jodi | 5/09/08

    Man oh man, there are so many sick f*cks on this website.

  80. Kimberly | 5/09/08

    People are going to hate me for saying this but I’ll say it anyway: She looks pretty either way but I prefer her skinny.

    :::Edited for stupidity:::

  81. paula | 5/09/08

    I usually only like naturally thin people, but I think this girl looks good. She looked disgusting in the ‘before’ shot.

  82. lady007 | 5/09/08

    I cannot believe someone would think that her weight now is normal and okay. Or she looked disgusting in the before picture. She should have just worked out and got toned. She is a beautiful girl, but something is wrong with her head. The girl needs to eat something, anything.

  83. Elle | 5/09/08

    Wow, that’s quite the dramatic difference right there. She has lost a lot of weight, her face has changed a lot. I wonder if she was asked to slim down for her new role…

  84. KJ | 5/09/08

    okay, say she is 5′6′’? I would guess about 105-110. She is skinny but not emaciated. Anybody else wanna guess?

  85. . | 5/09/08

    You should’ve posted the pictures of her with her back to the camera. THEN, people would stop saying things like “she’s skinny, but not emaciated” and “she’s just really fit”.

    Seriously, he back is sharp and jagged looking. At least some of the other skinny girls have a LITTLE bit of softness to them.

  86. purpleplague | 5/09/08

    I don’t know her height, but I’m guessing BMI in the low 16s/high 15s.

  87. MelodySoul | 5/09/08

    The responses here are making me physically ill. For anyone to say she looked disgusting, fat or even chubby in the before picture is so distorted. You don’t even know what’s normal anymore!! The after shot is not just skinny but emaciated. Scary and very unhealthy.

  88. lettuceLove | 5/09/08

    i’m always surprised by other people’s body ideals, to prefer a higher weight in any case just doesn’t make sense to me.

    now im inspired to begin an extreme diet/workout regimen too, i wanna show some bones!

  89. purpleplague | 5/09/08

    “i’m always surprised by other people’s body ideals, to prefer a higher weight in any case just doesn’t make sense to me.”

    You’re totally right, lettuceLove. I’d much rather bone a 60 lb skeleton than a 130 lb woman who actually has breasts and hips.

    …….not.

  90. Lenore | 5/09/08

    I’ve got to be the only sane one on here that actually believes she looked 100x’s better in the first photo. She was slouching in the picture, so it makes her look heavier, but by no means was she “fat,” that is just crazy to say that. She looked natural and healthy, and unfortunately, there is not one nice thing I can say about her body now, not one thing at all other than YUCK!

  91. Mel | 5/09/08

    I thought she looked chubby and average in the before pic. I never thought she was pretty enough to be a star on 90210. She looks so tiny now, it’s crazy!!

    I hope shes okay.

  92. purpleplague | 5/09/08

    “The responses here are making me physically ill. For anyone to say she looked disgusting, fat or even chubby in the before picture is so distorted. You don’t even know what’s normal anymore!! The after shot is not just skinny but emaciated. Scary and very unhealthy.”

    AGREED. But you have to realize, most of the people on this website either have eating disorders, have had eating disorders, or want eating disorders. We are not exactly good judges.

  93. carla | 5/09/08

    she wasn’t this chubby, this picture makes her look like that. She wasn’t as thin as she is now but she was stil slim-skinny.

  94. Natalie | 6/09/08

    I havent read the other comments yet, but here’s what I think.

    She definitely takes adderall and/or does cocaine. For sure.

    She also probably does not eat much (like coffee, salads, celery…), smokes, and works out a ton. Or she’s anorexic, purging type.

    Sadly, they probably asked her to lose weight and she took it too far…it’s very sad and for the love of god I hope someone makes them gain weight soon! Maybe its understandable for supposedly 14/15 yr olds, but thru HS you gain weight…so I hope if 90210 is a success, they won’t make these girls look like this the entire time.

  95. Amythestica | 6/09/08

    It’s all about attention - those fake smiles she flashed everywhere she goes. I bet she’s got some kind of competition going on between her 90210 colleagues - who can out-do each other in the weight department. Knowing how healthy she used to look, I think someone needs to help her… everyone has already said it but it bears repeating: she looks sick and medical attention is warranted right about now.

  96. wanttobelikethem | 6/09/08

    I RECKON SHE LOOKS GREAT IN THE SECOND PICTURE..skinnier

  97. Rose | 6/09/08

    I don’t think she looks disgusting at all in the first picture. Do you see any rolls of fat? Do you see flabby arms? Her arms aren’t exactly skinny but they aren’t fat either. She looks too frail in the second picture. Some people here have some sick mentalities on what is a good body. This is coming from a person who thinks America Ferrera is chubby.

  98. Alex | 6/09/08

    are you people stupid? clearly, you’re all a bunch of anorexics who can’t distinquish the differences between “normal” and “chubby.” She’s normal, curvier in the first pictures…she has boobs and she doesn’t have twigs for arms….in the second picture, she has no boobs and her arms are disappearing. It’s kind of sad if you find that to be more attractive…

  99. bella | 6/09/08

    she’s no way less than 100 lbs, if she’s 5′8 and less than 100 she must be very very sick.I think she’s around 105-110 lbs.nicole richie in her super skinny days was 85 lbs and 5′1 so jessica can’t be only 10-15 lbs more than nicole!

  100. Rian | 6/09/08

    FYI, the person leaving those “perfection” and other pro-ana comments was one person under tons of different screen names. She/he has been banned. So contrary to what some of you might think, this site hasn’t been taken over by a bunch of preteen pro-ana girls, it was one person who clearly has way too much time on their hands!

  101. mandy | 6/09/08

    she looks much better in the “Prom Night” movie! eat somethin sweet-heart!

  102. jordan | 6/09/08

    I know she can’t be healthy and her image is a sad representation of what society reduces people to but I can’t help thinking that she looks far better in the 2nd one … which makes me think I have a bit of a fucked up idea of good looks. oh well

  103. anna | 6/09/08

    I think she doesnt look good in either picture, however her ideal weight would be if she like toned up her arms or something in the first pic. …

  104. anna | 6/09/08

    however she defo looks better in first pic compared to losing all that weight..

  105. RONI | 6/09/08

  107. bosworth fan | 6/09/08

    i think she looks pretty and better now, good for her!

  108. Daisy | 6/09/08

    I bet from that first picture some of you would have said ’she needs to lose 30 lbs.’ Well, there you go! =/

  109. Jodi | 6/09/08

    Purpleplaque, it’s truly frightening that there are indeed people here who “want eating disorders”, as you say.

    Listen, you freaks. I had an eating disorder 30 years ago when I just started high school. Before it was fashionable or cool or whatever the hell it is now. It was a living, crying hell. I made not only myself miserable but everyone around me. This is NOT something you want. It is NOT glamorous or fabulous or anything good. It messes you up in ways you cannot even imagine.

    Having an eating disorder is NOT cute or adorable or admirable. It’s a sickness.

    I could say more, but I don’t want to write a thesis here on Rian’s blog.

  110. Erin | 6/09/08

    A bit underweight, definately should gain about ten pounds and she’d look great - some muscle little fat - best way its to train and start eating more. but who knows if she has an eating disorder.. then it gets alot more complicated
    love the dress. i think she could do to shape up in the before pictures but she looks nice anyway.

    It looks to me like she is on Clenbuterol..

    It’s a drug many celebrities in Hollywood have been known to use recently [within the past couple years], starting when Rachel Zoe became the Go-To-Stylist to the stars. She’d have them take it to lose weight. Basically Clenbuterol (or Clen) is a tranquilizer that burns fat at the same time maintaining muscles. You don’t even have to work out or eat really healthy for it to work. It’s rumored that Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have all taken it. They were also all clients of Rachel Zoe at one time. ”

    sorry for the rude language, but wtf are you talking about?
    is this a drug advertisement or what?
    shouldnt you may be talking about the consequences of taking an asthma medicament that is meant for horses and certainly NOT for diet reasons?
    and hoenstly, dont you have any other ambitions in your life than being skinny? is this all you are?
    gosh this page scares me…really does.
    so many comments are just sick! Im glad others are noticing the same, but to everyone who denies that this is very unhealthy, think….please, just think before you write!

  112. jazmella | 6/09/08

    That’s a shame. She looks perfect in the first picture. Way, way too thin now.

  113. mattie | 6/09/08

    Tragic how losing all that weight also makes a person appear sooo much older and wrinkly. Sad–SHE LOOKED SO CUTE IN THE FIRST PICTURE.

  114. AlwaysUltraThin/StaySuperSlim/aka:UltraSkinnyGirl | 6/09/08

    She looks wonderfulll in that orange dress :)
    I love the fabric.

    PURPLEPLAGUE: “bmi of 10.7″?? Give me a freaking break. You would be DEAD if that was your BMI

  116. edamame | 6/09/08

    ^Yah know, I don’t think that is necessarily the case.

    I’ve had a BMI in the 12s–and I know LOTS of people (with anorexia) who are or have been much thinner than me at my lowest weights–so I imagine it’s (sadly) possible to have a BMI in the 10s (or lower).

  117. edamame | 6/09/08

    ^I don’t know what happened to my last comment, but the short version of what I wrote is that (sadly) the above (low BMI) is possible.

  118. jess | 6/09/08

    that’s really sad. She looked really pretty before.

  119. greentea | 6/09/08

    She’s lost at least 40 lbs!

  120. purpleplague | 6/09/08

    “PURPLEPLAGUE: “bmi of 10.7″?? Give me a freaking break. You would be DEAD if that was your BMI ”

    Well being as how I’m sitting here typing this right now, I’m pretty sure I’m not dead. That isn’t my BMI anymore! I’m at a healthy weight right now, although I still have a lot of physical problems from my ED history. My low weight was 53 lbs and I’m 4′11″. BMI 10.7. It’s in my medical records.

    Also, it’s definitely not impossible, even if you don’t believe me..ever heard of Marya Hornbacher? The author of the infamous ED book, Wasted? Her low weight was 52 lbs at 5′0″. So..yeah. Possible.

  121. ValerieSara | 6/09/08

    Kudos, JODI.
    Finally some real life straight talk directed to so many here that are not deep enough to admit that they are shallow and sick. I sincerely hope that your poignant words will resonate in the minds of these women. They need a wake-up call.
    Listen to Jodi and just maybe you’ll live long enough to thank her later on.

  122. edamame | 6/09/08

    ^I’ve meet Marya Hornbacher (and have had dinner, etc, with her). I realize this is kind of off topic, but it’s one of my few bragging points in life; (Huge Wasted fan myself.)

    Purpleplague–glad to hear you are at a healthy weight now–hope you are feeling better too:)

  123. purpleplague | 6/09/08

    Oooh, I’m jealous! Marya is such an incredible writer.

    Thank-you :) You too.

  124. Maxx05 | 6/09/08

    She was too chubs in the first photo is my estimation/aesthetic opinion, but she took it too far and now she’s in trouble. Hope she gets help.

  125. Maxx05 | 6/09/08

    Uh, meaning that she took her weight loss too far, the intention was good, but she didn’t know when to look at her good work and say, ok, I’m done, I look great now, whoppee! Let’s go buy clothes!

  126. Elaine | 6/09/08

    She looked fat before. I think she would look better now if she gained about seven pounds.

  127. spanktacular | 6/09/08

    I’m at a loss for words. I like her in the orange dress pic but the more recent pics are somehat horrific. The difference is drastic enough to raise concern.

    I note a lot of ED references - if ur gonna comment and make reference to eating disorders perhaphs you refer to the DSM for the most accurate definition so the comment is educated and based on fact. I don’t mean to be rude but I’m in the field (mental health).

  128. anna | 7/09/08

    she should be shown numerous episodes of ’superskinny vs superfat’ on youtube to show the health risks shes at and how putting weight on.. (not all at once) gradually will actually looks much healthier and better..

  129. mill | 7/09/08

    man this girl needs to be on show.. ’superskinny vs superfat’

    then she’ll realise how putting weight on is healthier and much better in the longterm..and how much damage shes doing to herself by being severly underweight..

  130. Mel | 7/09/08

    Have any of you seen Prom night? she was skinny then and is skinny now, she’s just lost a little bit of weight but certainly not 30 lbs…it’s just a bad before picture!

  131. macca | 7/09/08

    Before was so much hotter. She looks like my pre-pubescent brother in the after shots.

  132. Shelly10 | 7/09/08

    These dates are way behind. Anyway, lets look at these photos and learn. MAXX05 said it best. Loose weight, but do not allow it to go to far. For more information go read the Karen Carpenter story. Sad. On another note, I have observed. Now I grew up watching the last 90210 and even from the very beginning. Most of them girls were at a healthy weight when they first began, and gradually lost all the weight towards the last episodes.

    Now we have all the female 90210 of a new season already starting at an unhealthy weight. I bet they compete within that show on who can be the skinniest. Let’s see if they even make it towards the ending of the last episodes, I mean make it 5 more episodes looking like this already. ANd we all know its not normal. At least one or two will faint from dehydration or something. BTW how can the bony females in the new cast remember their skits when they do not even consume anything but pills? I mean, don’t they mess up? Well, they are way too young for me to watch the new seasons(different generation), but again, I am thinking out loud-Shelly

  133. liz | 7/09/08

    she looks amazing now!!!

  134. wccheer | 7/09/08

    wow…i had NO idea that this was the same girl! i just watched prom night 2 nights ago and i seriously didn’t even notice that was jessica! you know, she might’ve been a little chubby before, but she was still really pretty. the girl wasn’t overweight or fat by any means…but she could’ve lost like 10 lbs. and looked GREAT. her after picture is just…crazy to me i guess. i want to know how somebody could lose so much weight so fast when she really didn’t have that much weight to lose in the first place? doesn’t it get harder to lose the weight when you only have like, 5 lbs. to go or something? i think she should’ve stopped like 20 lbs. ago, but i want to know how she got over that threshold. but still..the girl is pretty and she could wear anything she wanted without fat rolls hanging out…i do believe i’m a bit jealous, no matter how sad that sounds.

  135. me | 7/09/08

    She wasnt even fat in the first picture, not at all. If you check out her pictures on a site like Getty Images and google her name, you can see she lost most of the weight over a 9 month period in 2007, at which time she emerges looking about 30lbs smaller than before. Since that time, it looks as if she could have lost about another 10-15lbs.. every 2,3 weeks she looks smaller than before. I have no idea how she did it, but it would have required quite an effort… be it from an ED, external pressure, drugs, internal pressure.other, whatever. End result is the same. In all the photos her back is jutting out and her shoulders get bonier, jawline more defined, her arms shrink right before your very eyes from appearance to appearance. Her legs are TOOTHPICKS. Whatever the problem is, its not good or healthy. She is always smiling.. who is to say if she is happy or not.. myself Id think the life and perks of a hollywood actress is pretty decent compensation for restriciting my diet but thats just me. Sure beats data entry in some dead end job, id be smiling too.

    And the fact I think she still looks good says a STACK load about me, I know the healthy thing would be to say I prefer her at the higher weight aesthetically, but I like her lower.. perhaps with a little more on though. It sure aint good role-modelling tho.

  136. helena | 7/09/08

    i think a lot of people are overreacting. yes, she is much thinner, but i don’t think she looks bad. maybe she does have an eating disorder, but there are a lot of normal looking people who have eating disorders too. honestly, she doesn’t look like she has one to me. her face is glowing and she seems to have some muscle tone. idk maybe it’s just the picture.

  137. lili | 7/09/08

    Marya Hornbacher has her weight listed on Wikipedia. Is that weird or what? 102 at 5′3′’. Average, I guess. She is only 34 though and looks REALLY old and unhealthy - flabby, wrinkly….An ED would do it to you. It is not worth it, really….Also, it is not a big deal, but for MANY men it is a turn-off - a woman with a history of ED. Trust me - men love women with a healthy appetite and a smile…

  138. paula | 7/09/08

    Wow. just cos I think she was “disgusting” in the first pic, doesn’t mean I have an ED or want one or am a pro-ana teen or whatever the eff people said. Well I’m twenty (which is so far away from my teens, I know, but whatever), and have never had an ED. And can’t fat losers have EDs? I mean is overeating or binging considered an ED?

  139. PLEASE | 7/09/08

    SHE WAS THINNER BEFORE PROM NIGHT IN BROKEN 2006, SO I DO NOT THINK SHE IS ANOREXIC SHE JUST WENT BACK TO HER LOWER WEIGHT - WHY IS THAT SUCH A PROBLEM! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PREFERING TO BE ON THE THINNER SIDE - SHE WAS THIN TO BEGIN WITH (SHE WAS JUST PUFFY AND BIGGER IN PROM NIGHT)!! hOW IS THIS PRO FUCKING ANA GET A CLUE

  140. chillin | 8/09/08

    So very, very sad. That poor girl.
    I have a friend who did that to herself & she had terrible bones & teeth (fillings galore & even some removed), major emotional problems & lost most of her friends from being so obsessed with her eating. Becoming too skinny, even for a brief period of time is very dangerous. It sucks the nutrients & spunk right out of your bones, brain & life.
    Hope she gets healthy soon.

  141. chillin | 8/09/08

    The brain of a female with an eating disorder looks practically identical to an 85 year old womans’ brain….

  142. hongzuixi | 8/09/08

    nice change!!!

  143. purpleplague | 8/09/08

    It’s not that weird; she said it in a magazine a few months back. Yup, she grew three inches during recovery. I wouldn’t call 102 at 5′3″ average, and neither would Marya..she admits it is underweight, albeit not dangerously so. I don’t think she looks unhealthy, flabby, wrinkly, or “REALLY” old at all.

    Oh and by the way…most people with eating disorders don’t give a crap what men think of their EDs. We don’t have EDs or ED histories so men will be more attracted to us. That’s just stupid, quite frankly.

  144. Kelso | 8/09/08

    This seems like D.A.R.E. class.
    Who cares if she is on drugs or not.
    Who cares if half of the people on this site are or not.

    Let’s get to the most important thing here (hahaha) this girl is tiny. She looks good to me though.
    Whatever.

  145. Holly | 8/09/08

    I watched the 90210 premier, and I have to say, all those girls are way TOO thin. As someone who likes thin women, coming from me thats pretty bad. I actaully was put off by it. It sends a HORRIBLE message to young girls. I mean, look at this girl…she makes Nicole Richie at her thinnest look fat. Not cool. Not healthy. Not beautiful.

  146. perfeck | 8/09/08

    it’s a phase. she’ll get over it. if she doesn’t, then she’ll just end up dead. no man would touch that in fear that it’ll break into a million smelly pieces. oh yeah, FYI: not eating equals to ass breath. now what kind of hot man wouldn’t want to snuggle up to a bag of smelly bones?

    answer: none. unless amy winehouse is the woman of your dreams, which means these kinda chicks only attract cokeheads and dumbasses.

  147. lili | 8/09/08

    purpluplague - 5′3′’ and 102 is 18.1 bmi, which is almost “normal - i.e. - average”. It also depends on bone structure. I am 5′8′’ and 115lbs, which puts me in BMI of 17.5, and if someone told me I was underweight, it would be a meaningless statement, because I have been at this weight since I hit puberty (for more than 15ys), and I consume more than 1600 cal/day, and NOBODY ever says that I look unhealthy…BMI concept is a rough guide, but not more than that…My comment about men’s views on it, is not to indicate that I care about what men think (if I did, I would get implants a long time ago, when they were still very fashionable), it is just to point out that ED has also long term social and not only health consequences. I hope you get well, sorry if my comment upset you, it was not the intention!

  148. cat | 8/09/08

    upsetting

  149. purpleplague | 8/09/08

    18.1 BMI is underweight.

    BMI 17.5 IS definitely underweight. However, you can, of course, be naturally underweight, which you are.

  150. Lucy | 8/09/08

    she is on tv now and has to be thin. Shenae grimes used to be on Degrassi and she has lost a good 10 lbs as well and she was very thin.

  151. aimee | 9/09/08

    its not healthy to loose that much weight fast but it can be done by eating salad, veggies
    no fat, no sugar, no carbs voila
    i know it because ive done it anyway ive tried clenbuterol too and im sorry ok you burn more cals but to be honest i didnt loose weight with just clenbuterol but clen and eating less makes you loose weight

    i think shes to skinny now for being a role model but i like it
    the before is to chubby….healthy would be somewhere in the middle i guess

  152. giorgia | 9/09/08

    first time I saw her on 90210 I thought she was fab though she seems bit too skinny but right now she’s getting even more skinny.that seems completely unhealthy to me.. and she loses her breasts!I’m now twenty but during my first years on high school I lost a lot of weight like that and was under an healthy B.M.I and I did felt horrible.I had no energy and I felt always so hungry.. wondering how can she even smile? every time I see some pictures of her she seems so happy and always smiling..

  153. Anna | 9/09/08

    I think she looks healthier on the picture to the right. But I don´t know how skinny she is. She´s damn hot anyway.

  154. Frida | 10/09/08

    Wow, I posted a comment here yesterday with a tip about a Dutch website about celebrity weight and Rian deleted it!

    scary gorgeous is the term i had in mind, wow!!

  156. H.M. | 10/09/08

    laame, she used to be pretty

  157. Jam in La Q | 11/09/08

    HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!
    She has definitely found the look.
    Girls that want to be juicy like a picnic ham don’t read this.
    Girls that want to be eye burn hot keep reading.
    Stroup looks like a hot sexy heavenly woman.
    She does not look like a middle aged sweatshirt lady at the park eating all the picnic food while the kids play.
    She tunes her body into a very sexy look. I give her super cred.
    Fatty’s keep tuning your body with junk and you will risk disease, and your family will complain about having to help your chunky cheese thighs hold you up.
    Love those skinny girls. You need a role model.

  158. lydia | 12/09/08

    bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad idea

  159. Rose | 16/09/08

    She looks O.K. in both photos. It’s just such a drastic change. Like others have said, she’d look best somewhere in the middle.

  160. Jorie | 18/09/08

    I think she looks great. Couldn’t look better if you ask me. I’d love to look that skinny. Thankfully, that will be soon as i like her want to be super skinny.

  161. L | 19/09/08

    She’s twenty pounds underweight from her MINIMUM ideal weight for her height. Explain to me how this girl does not have an eating disorder?

  162. jj | 21/09/08

    i think she’s pretty either way…on the thin side now, buti think she’s just a gorgeous person.

  163. keko | 22/09/08

    I just caught an episode of the show on the web to really see how thin she is… She didn’t look too bad. I think she looks good thin!

  164. chels | 7/10/08

    she looks amazing now!

  165. Maureenie | 12/10/08

    Psh. I wish I looked like her

  166. Char | 18/11/08

    This is a wonderful, thinspiring photo.
    I think she looks lovely!

  167. sophia | 22/11/08

    meh i think she is just average but i think the thin thin suits her better than the meat
