Kristen Johnston: 60 Pounds Lighter!

0619johnson.jpg

Actress Kristen Johnston has turned her life around. The "Third Rock from the Sun" star has lost 60 pounds, and is exclusively telling "Extra" the reason behind her weight loss.

The actress, featured in tomorrow's People magazine, says she cut drinking and began eating healthy after being hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer. "It's a shock to the system," the actress told our cameras.

Kristen, who was nearly unrecognizable at a PETA event in New York where she was protesting against horse-drawn carriages in the city, denied anorexia rumors and said she feels amazing! "I'm more than enough for you to handle," she said.

You people are idiots and should get your facts straight. She had a burst ulser that caused her to lose all that weight and she wants to get back to her regular weight she jus lost her appetite

I weight 184lbs at 5’8 in muscle and she could of used weight training to slim down but look good. You do not have to be that thin and look good.

Ive heard that she weighs 133 lbs at six feet tall…that is NOT a healthy weight, and it shows.

I wonder if she is looking for parts as a Halloween skeleton? Too bad, I really liked her in 3rd Rock.
Hope she quits PETA and eats a horse.

The skinnier Kristen Johnston looks
very skeletal and unhealthy - this
opinion coming from a man :)

I am not a man who prefers larger
women, but one who prefers woman
to not be so skin-n-bones.

Kirstin started her career as a model. She’s been thinner than this. She looks fine. All you envious chubettes should STFU.

To Eva…
You better check your resources about obese people dying more than anorexics…there are a lot more than you think. There are also HUGE risks and health problems related to being too thin. Also, having a bleeding ulcer would NOT result in a 60 pound weight loss. Do your research!!!

So pretty much people cannot get sick!!! It is amazing how typical it can be for american people to react in ways like mr. Ro or Ms Atkinson to somebodies weight loss!!! it really makes me laugh. So if 40% of the US is overweight…it makes it alright for everybody to overeat and be sick or have health problems just because EVERYBODY is suffering the same symptoms huh? I don’t think is “refreshing” to have big love handles and look like a walking donut and let’s face it, thin or not, people want to look good and feel good. I’m sorry if people want to starve theirselves to look like movie stars but the truth (like it or not) is that is always better to be thinner than fatter…I didn’t come up with this, science and millions of deaths due to morbid overweight prove it.

I just saw Kristen in the play THE UNDERSTUDY at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and I was really taken aback. She was fantastic in the play, but I was so distracted by her weight loss (it was the first time I had seen her like that or heard about any of the anorexia rumors) that I couldn’t pay attentions to the play when she was on. I used to love the way she looked - she was beautiful and a wonderfully refreshing curvy body. Let’s hope that she can get her health issues with the ulcer under control so she can gain a healthy weight back again.

She looks great..ladies arent supposed to look like stuffed sausages..especially over 40. I’m Kristen’s age…5’1 and 110 lbs. I’dlove to look as slender as she does.

Not all size 0 women are bags of bones. I am 5’3”, 112 lbs and a size 0. I have a small frame, but am muscular due to working outdoors. I am naturally this thin and am tired of hearing people bash others for being small.

Kristen has a stomach ulcer and was forced to go on a bland diet… any of you have to do that? Well I have, twice! Bland diets are awful and forces your body to detox, and because you can not eat anything spicy, greasy, fatty, fried, with caffeine (which includes chocolate), or foods high is cellulose- you are pretty much stuck with certain dairy items, rice, bananas, breads (you know bland foods). Hense the crazy weight loss. On my bland diets I lose around 20-30 lbs and I am 5’2. Dont be angry because trust me, it sucks not being able to control your weight loss.

Any one that thinks this looks good has issues with weight. She looks like one of the Olson twins. Who wants to hug a bag of bones. She looked beautiful before. All these celebrities that think a size 0 is beautiful and healthy need some serious counseling. And we wonder why our teenage daughters want to be skinny, when they see these skeletons running around saying “I feel great about my body”. Sure!!!

She wasn’t a “large” girl before. She probably wore a size 8. I don’t consider that large, and I’m sure most average non-celebrity women considered what she looked like before as normal. She just looks anorexic now. A perfect example of the pressures that celebrity women have to deal with daily. Such a shame.

I feel as if she would be best at a happy medium. she could have toned up a little bit before, but now she look emaciated.
