Former plus-size, current not-really-plus-size model Crystal Renn (who is now a size 8-10) opened up about her recent (major) weight loss. We’ve got the details from Daily Mail:
She shot to fame as one of the world’s most famous plus-size models. But last night Crystal Renn admitted that she is now no bigger than a U.S. Size 8-10 (UK Size 12-14). The 24-year-old Chanel model, who was previously a UK Size 16, said that she finally felt ready to exercise for the first time since her teens, when she suffered from an eating disorder and became addicted to working out for up to eight hours a day. She revealed that a difficult break-up had contributed to her decision to embrace a more healthy lifestyle, and a combination of hiking and yoga had helped the weight drop off.
She told NY Magazine: ‘In the past, I avoided exercise because it brought back terrible feelings. I wasn’t ready. And I was scared that maybe I was going to be addicted again. That’s a fear that goes through your mind, whenever you’re getting over an addiction or a disease like anorexia, yeah, I absolutely was worried. But then I guess you could say my life changed in a really drastic way. For one, there was a split-up that I went through that was very difficult, and I thought, “You know what? I need to be in a good place. I need to find me again.”’
I went backpacking for three weeks and I came back and I had lost some weight. And basically I’ve been traveling ever since. This is just how my body is now… It’s been strange, actually, because it’s not something I’ve been trying to do,’ she admitted. She added that her current routine was far from rigorous: ‘I think I probably have a good relationship with the exercise that I do do,’ she said. ‘I’m taking care. I’m just in a really good place. I do hiking. I do yoga, but nothing crazy, just in my house. It brings me peace.’

Must take a look!
Shakira DID confess before that in order to lose weight for her videos, she diets intensively and literally cries of cravings:
“I needed a whole month to get back into shape. I danced, worked out and had to stick to a strict diet – only fish, spinach and a specially-prepared dessert with tofu. For the first time in my life I was dreaming of chocolate and cake and always woke up with tears in my eyes.”
So, question: Did Shakira Lose Too Much Weight for Her New Video?
“I gained a level of confidence. It’s like this [defeated] feeling disappeared that I had carried around with me for so long, and finally I was like, forget it. It’s not what life’s about. There is no secret, It’s the old-fashioned way of making a commitment to yourself and waking up every day and doing it.”
On her current habits:
“I don’t eat junk food. I don’t have it in my house anymore. I’m more inclined to go for a bag of carrots now than a bag of chips. I never thought I would turn into that girl, but I have!”
… says Kelly (who claims she is a size US 0-2 now).
Former Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova (26) was once in the celebrity body gossip spotlight for being in the ‘too fat to be a model’ club, according to fashion experts. Back in 2008, Karolina revealed a curvy, healthy sized figure on the runway – well, in 2010, after giving birth in October 2009, Karolina looks super thin while walking her super tall figure on the catwalk.
Obvious, expected question: Which Karolina do you like better?
