Raven-Symone Lost 35 Pounds, Says Star Magazine
October 10, 2009 in Raven-Symone, Then and Now by Versus
I noticed that Raven-Symone has lost some weight, but I didn’t estimate it around 35 pounds. Here’s what Star Magazine says:
Raven-Symone has always been frank about her weight struggles. “When I’m stressed, I gain,” she says. Judging from her appearance at the September 25 Teen Vogue party in LA, things are going great for the Disney star! Dr. Michael Aziz, author of The Perfect 10 Diet, believes the 5′2″ actress shed 35 pounds over the past few months. “Raven was obese,” Dr. Aziz tells Star. “Although she’s naturally a full-figured girl, she’s at a much healthier weight now.”

No way has she lost 35 pounds! She still looks big, but the clothes are a much better choice and that may create an illusion of losing weight.
Sounds like you hate to see some one come up… HATER!
Raven looks beautiful. I’m glad she lost weight. I’ve been there. I sure her self-esteem is a lot better now!
To say that raven hasnt lost the weight is so crazy you can see that she looks smaller and she will always be cute now she is entering in a whole new catagory she is hot good luck to her and hope she can keep it off for she looks fab.
Whatever. Regardless of her weight she has a great attitude and head on her shoulders.
i actually dont like her attitude. does she have any talent actually? she was a supercute child though and i don’t think she looks good now with the extra pounds (not saying nobody does, but rs would look much better if slimmer).
I think Raven is great. My nieces love her and she’s a good role model. I never hear about her getting drunk, high or being promiscuous . She’s has lots of talent…she can sing, act and I think she produced or co-produced her last movie…not to mention her website.
Keep saying what you want. It’s not classy to talk about people.
yall some hatin ass ppl. The girl look great with da weight loss. Go worry about urselves b4 you critize others
I have a feeling that a 35lb loss is probably a bit exaggerated, but no matter how much she lost she’s definitely looking slimmer and I think it’s great that she is taking steps to get healthier.
She does look like she’s lost a few, you can see it in her face. Regardless, Raven is a true role model for young girls, she has a good head on her shoulders and has always kept her morals in tact.
She looks great. You go girl!
Totally agree with you! Great point!
Raven is simply a true natural multi-talent young lady. She is so forreal. No fake here. She’s almost a billionaire also,and carries herself with so much grace. You go young black sista. No hater juice here. Luv us some Raven!
She definitely lost a solid 15 lbs and that’s great. She looks wonderful.
…….Nah I’m guessing no more than 10lbs. and a new stylist (who also taught her how to pose in a more flattering way), but she’s still a plump girl (based on Hollywood’s standards). The before picture she looks like a mafia gangster! LOL So there are obvious improvements.
She looks great!! Raven is a beautiful girl and she should never try to be skinny just to take care of her self and she didn’t look like she was doin it before right now looks perfect for her body type i hope she stays this way!!
She looks great! I really like her, just saw her on the Tyra Banks show with Chris Rock. Raven is funny, smart and has a good head on her shoulders. She is normal like the rest of us, and doesn’t try to project a “holier than thou” attitude. Love her!
@Ms Canna – I saw her on Tyra also! When I saw her I was like WHOA she lost a lot of weight! It was definitely noticeable!! Good for Raven I have always thought she was an intelligent, funny girl.
i think its quite possible she lost 35lb, unless shes quite short?
I’m 5ft7 and i gain/lose weight quite evenly from all over my body, I’m doing jenny craig and have lost 14.5lb so far and I haven’t lost a dress size yet, i’m hoping at 20lb i should be able to buy smaller jeans!
Gratz on the weight loss so far
Raven is 5’2″, I believe, and she does look like the type to gain and lose in a proportionate manner. 
thanks
another 50lbs ish to go though, *sigh*, never mind it will be worth it 
I just realised it said 5’2 in the article, oops!
nah not 35 pounds, but she has definitley lost, I remember seeing a picture where she looked very big, but she still looks a little big. She’s only 5″2 so probably weighd less than you’d think she would before she lost any weight, therefore losing 35 pounds is a definite exaggeration
she did loose some weight and she looks good…I wish she would wear better fitting clothes…Anyways I still love her she has a good attitude and doens’t let hollywood crush her spirit b/c of her weight.
Well she was always a nice presence and I always admired her for being earthed but now I like her more.I think she had a really hard time losing weight and now even more to keep it because as she said she tends to gain weight easily.Anyway good luck
Basically my opinion is i dont care if she lost weight or not. Raven is still beautiful and like she said shes thick and fabulous! I think she looks amazing. She’s such a role model and she’s not fat. She has so much talent and I think she’s doing something wonderful with her life unlike the people that just wanna sit around all day and talk about how much people lose and gain. But hold on a minute. Raven what is that bra you are wearing (no homo) lol. I think were trying to add a little sexy thing going on are we lol. Thats new but still she looks nice
if raven did lose 35lbs did good for her! she looks great and is a positivr role model. and klara , raven do have talent she was working since she was baby and still is .!!! YOU GO RAVEN!!!!!!!
yea she definatley lost 35 pounds thats her at the begining of the year oh god you should of seen her in the middle of 2009 she was getting really fat this size it fits her best not every celebrity has to be flat stomach skinny i dont think shes over weight i think shes perfect the way she is now
Ok she is BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, and ATTRACTIVE! I dont get the stereotypical mindset of skinny being sexy, because its not. Raven shows now diffedence whatsoever about her weight, he flaunts it as much as she can! Thats the charm she has! She doesnt give a damn! She has and will always look beautiful and id prefer her over any of those skinny dippy celebrities any day!
SHE LOOKS GOOD BIG OR SMALL PEOPLE NEED TO JUST MIND THERE BUSINESS AND LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE LOOKING GOOD RAVEN
I am a fan of Raven’s. I am proud of her weight lass and hope she keeps it up. If people follow her career, then they know that she clearly lost 35 lbs, OR MORE! Congrats on a lengthy acting career and ignore all of the people who wish they had your measure of success! Stay blessed!
Ok she looks good!!! People need to stop hating, its not like celbs dont have feeling too. Not everyone in the world is skinny and not everyone is going to be or even wants too. I am just proud of her and i wish people could stop getting on her about HER weight because its HER WEIGHT. She is famous rather she is skinny or not…
Raven looks good either way. She’s a beautiful person and we have watched her grow up since she was 4. Wow. Go girl!
I think Raven looks great and even though she lost 35 lbs., she is still able to attain her beautiful,voluptuous figure. I enjoy her attitude and I too think she’s a great role model because as aforementioned, she is not promiscuous, a drunk, or a drug abuser!!! Hey Raven….you GO GIRL!!!
I think Raven was beautiful before. Her face was fuller and she is pretty either way but I liked her better before. Everyone does not have to be a size 3 to be beautiful
hi she look in her back back and she so cute in her cloths she resemble a girl of 20 year she so petty i love her kiss
raven is soooooo freakn beautiful i would die to look like her she was never fat i actually thought she wasnt perfect but pretty close to it i love her u still look beautiful my lil bro misses your show thats so raven so do i i love you girl skinney or not u where nvr fat love u
My kids grew up watching Raven & I watched right along with them. Raven is very talented and beautiful inside & out, regardless of her size.
We still watch “That’s So Raven,” on Netflix & our VHS tapes & still laugh at her antics.
