The winner of last seasons' The Biggest Loser, Rachel Frederickson, caused a controversy when she lost what many say was too much weight. The 255 lb contestant dropped down to a tiny 105 lb frame. Now the show’s host Alison Sweeney is opening up about the controversy. Sweeny, a 20 year vet of the NBC soap opera, Days of Our Lives, has also recently announced that she is leaving the series sometime this year.
How much is too much? That is the question that Rachel Frederickson had to face when she shed 150 lbs on the NBC weight loss competition, The Biggest Loser. Her dramatic weight shift caused a controversy on the show. Now the host of The Biggest Loser, Alison Sweeney, is opening up about the issue, as E! Online reports:
"I think that The Biggest Loser, what we focus on on the show, helping people with the rest of their lives and helping them make changes, but at the end of the day, it's every individual's responsibility to do what they think is best for them. So I think Rachel said it best when she was on the Today show about, whatever it was, two weeks after the finale, she came back and shared sort of her feelings about really focusing on winning the competition and as an athlete…she really kept her eye on that prize. And two weeks later, sort of had found maybe a happier body weight that she felt more comfortable with, which is how she looks now and she looks fantastic."
Sweeney also recently announced that she will be leaving her long run on Days of Our Lives by the end of the year.
