She seems to be on the higher end of her recent weight gain…
Here are some photo comparisons (a ‘weight timeline’) of Hilary’s weight over the past few years…
It looks like she lost most of her weight in early 2005, and kept it off for a few years.
More new photos after the jump!

Everyone’s going to say how big her arms are…I just know it. I think she always looks good no matter what. Although that 2005 picture is kind of disturbing.
love me some hil!!
Bigger but that’s just in comparison to how slender she was before. She is still a pretty girl.
She’s not fat. She’s just not a child size.
I actually think her face looks more attractive when she has some meat on her
She looks best in the Sept. 2006 photo. Maybe its the hair but I suspect the better body is helping.
like her how she looked in 2006
i am petite like her but for some reason tend to gain weight in my arms… so i understand her plight. it sucks but you have to be really skinny for the arms to look good. her bod looks fine though.
I like her 2004 look best. Her face is so much prettier and younger looking with the extra weight.
I love her no matter how much she weights!!
she looks beautiful anyway, fat or thin!!
thanks to her new figure I recovered from anorexia!!
you go girl!!!
2008 looks pretty good, but even now she looks so much better than
05/06. she was way too skinny!!
@ polly haha, i was thinking the same.
I think that the “Hilster” looked best in her Sept. 2006 picture w/perhaps an additional 5-to-8 lbs or so the 2006 pic. Although the Sept 2006 pic was not too much different than her 2005 Sept pic. I’m glad that she is content and confident with her own body…that is truly the most crucial thing for a young woman Hilary’s age (21) or ANY young woman.
I like her no MATTER what end of her weight fluctuations are at.
I think she looks fine. She was sickly thin in 2005 and, like most girls/women, she probably gains weight when she’s happy. I know I do! She will always have (and sadly be criticized) for having “big” arms. Just like Hayden Panitierre is criticized for having “big” thighs. Even though neither girl has big anything!
Beautiful face but i do prefer Hillary thinner, just a bit.
*Hilary
In the 2006 photo she looks like her sister…
OOPS meant that she’d look a bit better with an additional 5-to-8 lbs added on “to” her 2006 pic.
WHY oh why does she insist on going sleeveless?!?! her gains show in her arms the most, but she never wears short sleeves!
anyways, great photo mashup! she looked her best circa summer ‘07, when she posed for us weekly cover in her bikini. then her stats were 5′2 109. in that article she said she was 100 at her lightest. i think she’s in the 130s now.
her face is the most beautiful and most vibrant when she has a little more weight on. i think she looks gorgeous. she openly admit she wasn’t being healthy when she was too thin, so i think its great she’s keeping the weight on and looking healthier.
She has a pretty face, I’m just not a fan of her body type (the carrying of the weight in the upper arms)
I think I’d prefer either 2005 or 2006 body of hers..
She is such a beautiful girl!
Go Hilary your FAB!
Fall 2010 the new spokesperson for Jenny Craig….just a prediction.
She looks healthy, but could stand to loose 5lbs to just tone up a little…
Whoa!! She’d better slow down; getting into the Kelly Clarkston look!
PS: Do you guys know how much she had to work to have the body she had in the years of 2005 and 2006?! The sacrifices she had to make? That is not her natural body frame.She looks great at any weight and a girl like her, should feel good about herself because she’s talented, bright, nice and beautiful. But unfortunately, she knows that people are always talking about her body and even though she tries to feel confident sometimes she feels self conscious. I can understand what she’s feeling. Pretty darn well…
so sexy in 2006-2008 now it kind of looks liek she’s going backwards in the aging department! like she is 15 yrs old! if you look at her now and 15 same body! sorry hilary, but she is a very pretty girl but at the right weight she is a killer
Cool photo collage. I like her best in September 2006. I think she always looks gorgeous, she is most definitely not naturally thin, nor should she attempt to stay at the 2005 weight.
I agree-she looks a little bit too heavy for her frame -not bad, but could lose about 10 and tone up and look healthier
I like her best in 2005 when she was her skinniest! But she also looks really toned and slim in 2008. I wonder what she did to get so skinny in 2005?
MMH-I was thinking the same thing! She looks like Kelly Clarkson! Those arms are horrible!
I’m so far from fat (pretty damn thin, actually) but I would die if someone put all my college photos up in comparison to what I look like now. Normally I don’t pity celebrities, but this is pretty harsh to me.
I wonder if she had some ED issues back in ‘05 and ‘06? I think that weight suits her very well, but it’s prob. just not a natural weight for her, and thus cannot be sustained.
I like the 2008 best
Cute rump in the first pic.
she seems bigger than 2004 pics! her 2006 figure was perfect..also 2005…I don’t think she was too skinny:her lowest weight was 100 lbs and it’s ok for her 5′3 frame.
I like the ‘bigger’ Hilary….this looks like her normal weight….and she is in NO WAY like Kelly Clarkson. People please!! Get your ED eyes checked.
love how she looks in 05/06. it’s tough because i think her face looks cuter with some weight on but her body definitely looks better skinny.
I like 2006 best.
if she wasnt famous people wouldn’t judge her like they do. To me it looks like about my weight right now and im happy and she also looks happy so thats all that matters!!
Ugh..I’m scared that’s what I look like.
completely agree with daffy – her face looks way better when she’s not stick thin!
hate to have been sitting behind her in the cinema if she was wearing that hat throughout the movie!
2006 was a grrreaaat size
Lovely looking girl.
I like a slender figure, but women come in all shapes and sizes and if she’s happy then she’s far more beautiful than some chick that has to restrict her diet in order to maintain an unnatural thin physique.
I hope she feels happy and secure in her skin and keeps fit and healthy in a balanced maintainable way.
@aoife, lol!
the funny thing is Hil current weight is what i expect most women in america would say they look like. I think she looks good at this weight, when she is too skinny, her face bc really gaunt and she resembles a horse. Girls are always so harsh to other girls
She looks SO much better with some weight on her
I think she looks most beautiful when her face is filled out a bit more. I don’t think the 2005 pic looks good at ALL. Still a bit too gaunt in 2006, and I agree with the poster that mentioned she tends to look a little horsey when thin. She is a lucky one that looks gorgeous a little fuller. How lucky is that?!
I like her like this. She looks healthy and fine. Her arms are not fat, they just carry the extra weight. I think her face looks much better too. I hope she doesn’t lose too much weight.
Looks like a total rebound.. but in 2008 she was really tooo thin
She has gained weight, but she is still beautiful! and i love those shoes she is wearing in the first picture, so cute!
As long as she’s happy, who are we to judge.
Can you please do a Taylor Lautner post, he worked so hard to get an amazing body for New Moon.
I think she looks great in all of them except the 2008 one. I actually like her better at her current weight – she looks normal and cute to me.
I have a body type REALLY similar to Hilary’s – so I’m biased
I think she looks healthy and great. She isn’t “hollywood skinny” anymore, but I bet if you’d see her in person, she’d still look better than 90% of the people standing around. Seeing people in pictures and on TV is VERY different than seeing them in person. I met a news anchorwoman once who looks average on TV – the woman is skin and bones in person. So it’s really deceptive, and I really hope that Hilary doesn’t start dieting herself to death again. She looks beautiful.
yes, shes got chunky arms for sure and she looks best in 05 from all the years. Soo gorgeous and beautiful and sleek. Perfect!
the most recent pic of her shows how naturally filled and healthy she is. looking back at her sept 05 pic, she was definitely heading towards the E-D side but now she looks good IMO. one good thing she did fix her “Mr. Ed” jawline
Wow, she used to have a neck! 2006 she looked very pretty – that’s the H. Duff I remember.
she is gorgeous and a good role model for girls
I’m torn between 2006 and 2008. I like her hair in 2006 but weight wise I’d have to go with 2008.
She is pretty regardless of the extra weight but her arms are truely unfortunate
i LOVE the time line you did, please do that for more actresses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it really is great seeing this!!!!
i too think she looked best in the pic w/the brwn hair and grey dress
Fire plug!!!!
I think her body looked best in 2005, it’s too bad she wasn’t being healthy. Her face was a bit too thin though. Right now she looks like she could use to lose some pounds, her face is gorgeous, but it will still be beautiful with pounds lost, it doesn’t get too thin untill she REALLY loses weight. Those arms, as several have predicted would be said, are her albatross. There must be SOME toning exercise that can be done for them! She has definitely gained weight so she has to stabilize her eating issues at any rate. Weight swings are bad for your body.
i don’t think she looks fat. She does have wide shoulders and bigger arms. I think people think she looks fat, because she does not have a defined waistline, but she is far from fat. She looks healthy and beautiful to me.
she looks SOOOO much better when she was skinner….she just looks chunky and unhealthy now….. like she is eating a lot of carbs or something if that makes sense
September 2006 is the best picture. She used to be so skinny but I guess it is very unnatural for her so she gained all the weight back again
I think if there was a middle road to where she is now and the 2005 weight she would be the ideal weight. She is beautiful either way, but she could use some weight loss.
I like her body the best at her lowest in Sept 2005. But her face looks prettier when she has a few more lbs on her. Strange how that works out lol.
Her body looks horrible now! It’s gotta be the worst feeling looking at old pics of yourself when you were thin, and now much heavier.
Seriously sister let herself go … Why is she still relevent anyway? She’s got as much going on as Lohan as of late …
I think she was so thin back in 2005 because of a cocaine problem. Many think she was the subject of this blind item:
This tweener star has always been known for television. Now she does films primarily. In the past year while doing a film, she was devastated emotionally over a breakup, and also trying to kick coke at the same time. About two weeks into filming, our actress tried to kill herself. Because the location was out of the country it was managed to be hush hushed. She then took about ten days off and continued filming. Her mom was brought in, and the actress seemed to recover. She also started using coke again, but made it through filming without any more incidents.

i agree with those who said she looks prettier, facially, when she’s heavier. that would be annoying.
Obviously she looks quite big compared to the ‘05 picture (which I don’t think she looks too emaciated in, but is definately heading that way) but if you saw her in the street I don’t think you’d think she looked ‘big’. I think Im quite a similar build to her- I’ve been the size she was in the ‘05 picture and was not being at all healthy, some people just aren’t meant to be that small so hopefully she’s being healthy & her natural size! What she’s wearing isn’t very flattering but she still looks gorgeous
she looks fine
now here is a perfect example of why using cocaine/amphetamines to stay thin isn’t an effective diet tool ( not to metion it’s a terrible thing to do to your body, mind and everyone around you)…. it messes up your metabolism so badly that the minute you go off them you gain weight and its ten times harder to lose/maintain….

which by the way … in no way am i saying shes fat in these photos… in person she’s completely normal…. but its ovbious shes not meant to be that thin.
I’ve seen bigger girls than HD. She seems to have too much weight on her for her frame. She also looks very self-conscious of her new, bigger self. She looked much better in the ‘06 shots.
Great montage of photos.
Pretty girl. I like the hat
I think it is just her arms that look weird, all in all she is well proportioned
Even though she probably doesn’t live her life with the intention of being a good role model, I’m so grateful to her that she portrays a healthy body image and ALWAYS looks great. It’s helped me through some trying times. I love you Hils!
Anyone else thinks she looks like Katie Cassidy at time?? In two of these pictures she totally does, imo. But she looks good as a brunette, actually, like Katie.
On a sidenote, she had a mild – I think – eating problem during that time, when she suddenly got so skinny. She admitted that it was not a very healthy period in her life. But it’s good to see her growing more comfortable in her own skin and her weight levelling out into a more consistent number.
*at times
Poor Hilary. I bet she looks fine in person. Her weight now reminds me of when she was Lizzie McGuire.
For the people calling her fat, if you saw her in person you’d think very differently. Pictures can be extremely unflattering..yes, due to her body type her arms are going to be bigger when she’s at a normal, healthy weight. I think she looks great, and she seems toned, not loose, so I think she’s great.
Her body is fine. Unfortunate that she gains weight in the upper arms, but normal. What is not fine is that she doesn’t know how to dress herself! It’s common sense to try and cover flaws and show of the good bits! I hate my thighs, so I don’t wear mini skirts, very short shorts or super skinny jeans. Too easy.
Her arms may quite truly be the same size around as my thighs. OMG! Huge man arms. I would hate it if my arms were that gigantic.
She could beat me in arm wrestling!! But I could beat her otherwise!!
P.S. Am I the only one on the planet that thinks Harry Potter is way overrated & boring???
she definetely looks best in the september 2008 picture. 05-06 was too skinny for her..
I think she looks SO much better as a brunette.
I also think her face looks better when she is heavier but her body looks so much better when she is lighter.
Nothing however, is worth sacrificing your health for. Further, I think if she was really self-conscious, she wouldn’t be wearing tanks and leggings all the time.
Huge kudos to Hilary for (seemingly at least) embracing her body at this bigger size.
She looked her best in 2006. Too bad about the weight gain, she was really looking good until people started attacking her for looking good.
Good for her, she’s gorgeous at any weight, and I thought she always looked kinda strained thinner, like it was a struggle to stay that thin. Anyways, she’s lucky to be that gorgeous at a higher weight, and she looks happy.
She should have maintained whatever weight she had in 2004. Her skinnier weight was obviously not manageable for her, and she seems heavier than she did in 2004. If she decides to slim down again, I hope she doesn’t overdo it this time.
She actually looks better with the extra weight.
She has definitely gained and doesn’t look her best bodywise but she still looks fine. I think her body becomes very square when she gains weight making her look stumpier than she is.
She’s an attractive girl, but in my humble opinion looks amazing in the sept 06 pics, the hair is nicer too dark, very sexy!
she has gained more…awwww
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HUGE…..VERY FAT….
HORRIBLE!!!
she gained but so what ? her arms are bigger but more muscular. looks good
In september 2008 she was definitely underweight. You can tell that this girl really has to make an effort to be Hollywood thin, in which case it’s better to stay close to yourself. It took me forever to figure this out, but if you don’t stray too far from your natural look (hair and body wise) you usually end up looking your best.
wow i can’t believe that last timeline pic is less than a year ago! just shows that yo-yo dieting is no good for you…
she’s much prettier with weight on her face but if i had that body i wouldn’t be too bothered about the shape, i’d just be off to do some toning.
I little big for my taste. Just her upper body. But she has a beautiful face and that is a major, major plus.
She looks better at a heavier weight. Suits her so much better than skinny.
Thanks for the extra HD post Rian, Love her!
I don’t think she’s fat at all. It’s just her body type. She has relatively a very wide upper body part. It almost looks like all the weight she’d gained went to her arms. and her legs still look pretty small. overall she’s toned except her arms.
and yeah, I kinda like this timeline please post more of it. great idea!!!
Ok i’m sorry but I have to say it only because it’s my opinion; to me she is too big. Having suffered from anorexia myself and now being recovered, I know that it is difficult to find the balance between being too skinny and being healthy. But that’s not to say one should let themselves go. What surprises me is that in Hollywood, these girls have access to the best in fitness; trainers, equipment etc. and from pictures it seems that Hilary is really focused on her training…so it surprises me that she should have gained quite so much weight. I’m not saying she looked healthy when she was stick thin, but there is a balance between then and now and I think she needs to find it. I was shocked when I saw these; she needs to lose ten pounds and then I think she’d be perfect.
she has pretty face (in 2005 i don’t like it) but big arms. her body looks good now and in 2006.
Wow she really suits the dark hair – she looks radiant in the 3rd pic! Always a beautiful girl.
I’m sorry but I just prefer her when she was skinny. To be honest, I see plenty of girls her age and slightly older who are running around looking just as thin as Hilary did in her skinny days. Obviously it comes more naturally for some than others, but I’m sure she’s naturally smaller than she is now. I do feel like she’s probably overeating at the moment. And you can tell she’s not comfortable being so big – I’m not saying she is big, but she’s not small is she, and she could be if she truly wanted to.
i really prefer her current weight:in 2005 she was too skinny!that was not her!i remember her in “lizzie mcguire”’s days and her current weight IS the ideal weight for her frame!
I also loved her as a brunette,she was really mature.
5′2”and 130-135 lb:H.please stay to this weight you’re beautifull!
First!
she looks soo pretty as a brunette
AIII SHE LOOKS VERY FAT!! BUT, REMEMBER THIS… IN LIKE A FEW MONTHS SHE WILL BE LOOKING LIKE SHE DID IN 2005/2006!! I UNDERSTAND ALL THE PRESURE ETC. AND I LIKE HER ANYWAY, BUT SHE IS LIKE VERY FAT RIGHT KNOW.
wow…she is big. I just assumed it was her bone structure so to see her w/a smaller build…unfortunate. However, in 2005 she was way too thin. Looked sick. I liked 2006, and think she could stand to gain even from there.
she can pull off both thick and thin, imo. but she looked really skinny back in 2005-06… looks like jessica alba in the 06 pic.
but either way she’s a very pretty girl. i just hope she doesn’t do a kelly clarkson and gain a huge load of weight.
My body is just like hers…I had to have an ED to look like her in her thin days, so I know she must have too. My weight fluctuations have EXACTLY mirrored hers.
I work out every day, eat organic food, and NO sugars other than naturally occuring in fruit/veg. Looking my best/healthiest, I look like her at her current weight. It is frustrating, because anyone else would be a supermodel. Don’t be so quick to judge.
i carry all my fat in my arms as well even though my waist is 23 inches!
hilary’s personality rules all other celebs her age…. that’s what matters. plus look at that face.
i would hate to go see a movie and have paparazzi all around me:S
i wonder how long it would take to get used to that. if that’s even possible.
You can REALLY destroy your metabolism with an ED (if that is the case with her). She might very well be eating a minimum and working out like crazy–but still look heavier than ideal.
People shouldn’t be so quick to think she’s given up, doesn’t care, is overindulging, etc. Give her some time to let her body (and mind) get back to a healthy optimum!
she looked awesome in 2006. She still looks cute but I’d rather look awesome then just cute.
Wow, she was really damn skinny in 2005 and 2006. Pretty, but as others have mentioned, the extra meat makes her glow. Regardless of what weight she is, I like Hilary. Seems to have a good head on her shoulders.
Rian – awesome post, thank you. I love the side by side comparisons, very interesting. Keep it up!
We both have broad shoulders and big arms, so she gives me hope that if I lose enough weight, I can stop looking like a linebacker.
Julia: Her face looks younger looking because she was 5 yrs younger then!
a lot of shallow people on here who think people that have (or look like they have) E-D’s are sexy? get your heads out of your asses and GROW UP
Very attractive face, unattractive body, she looked so much better when she was much thinner.
i love her!! to me it looks like she’s at her highest weight yet, but she will always be pretty. i love that pic of her back in 2005. gorgeous!
She looks really bloated, if anything else. I wonder what causes her to yo-yo so much. She doesn’t look FAT, but if I were in here shoes, I’d want to slim down by 5-10 lbs.
Meh…she looks bigger…but as long as she is happy and healthy, then oh well. Who cares??
Wow… I liked her better when she was thin. Not scary skinny, but thin.
hmmm I think she def looked better a little lighter and toned…BUT…this is obviously her natural figure and if she wasn’t being healthy and under-eating before to stay on the thinner side then she should stick with this. she doens’t look bad AT ALL though and I will and always have LOVED HIL so good on her for not letting it stop her live her life. yeah the top she is wearing is not the most flattering, and I am sure she knows that, and she obviously doesn’t care – YOU GO GIRL!!!
Woah, in the ‘September 2005′ she looks creepy skinny. The way Mary-Kate actually (I hate to say it) looked nice when she was scary skinny. Hilary doesn’t look quite right. Though in video footage she looked quite good. I think she’s gained too much. Never mind, Hil. One day you’ll get it right!
Hilary goes to the gym so much yet she isn’t thin, so it makes me think she probably is struggling with her weight and food. She’s either binge-eating or simply eating too much to lose weight. And she doesn’t even need to lose a lot of weight, just five or ten pounds would make her look so much better.
HOWEVER. She isn’t fat at all. Most of the people here are so delusional. Fat is Beth Ditto or Kelly Clarkson. Hilary isn’t fat, she’s just a little chubby.
Also LOL at people saying she isn’t toned. She goes to the gym almost every single day! She is fit, toned, and healthy. Just not thin.
You should do a photo timeline with nicole richie…
I LOVE Hilary, she’s soo cute! xxx
urgh Jenna, so over nicole richie. boo.
Yo-yo much?
She gained so much-creepy.
damn
She is looking good, tiny, fit and like she takes good care of herself. She swims a lot so it keeps her back healthy and strong!!
she looks like a woman now… in 2005 she was way too skinny!! i hate the way u could see her cheek bones.
im an absolute fan of hilary, i LOVE her. shes like my role model and i always copy her style.
i admire her because she always appears so self confident and natural and how she still looks amazing with some more weight on her hips!
she looks best in the 2006 photo.
her face looks better when she is fuller.
i love her.
she looks good no matter what she weighs!
i’m so over hearing how she has “big arms”!!!
so to the poeple who are always saying that, are you perfect?
i’m sure you have huge thighs or a big ass or something like that…
why bash her when she has an awesome body? her stomach has been super flat for years..it doesn’t matter if she weighs 100 lbs. or 130 lbs., the girl always has a super tight/fit stomach. so good for you hilary for having a feminine body and actually looking like a woman unlike 99% of the women celebrities out there.
FAT FAT FATTTTTTT. 5′2″ and 135??? thats a LOT of weight for that height
She is slim but compared to most uber skinny celebs she looks a little bit heavy. She looked awful and malnourished in 2005, I much prefer her at this healthy size.
P.S.
Why the hell would anyone say that a girl like this at a NORMAL and HEALTHY weight is overeating? I would say she is doing exactly everything right. More likely that she was undereating to get so thin before. Some of you really have no grip on reality.
Imagine she had a longer torso. She’d be perfect!
It balances out her huge (but pretty) face. Stick thin looks unnatural. I hope she is eating healthy
