hello tyra! I am 18 years old, i had a baby 6 months ago, we are doing great! the only problem i have is my weight, i am very small, 4'9, and i have never really been fit, but i learned that judging from my hight, im suppose to weigh at least 110 pds i now weigh, 160, for my height i am considered obese even though i may not completely look that bad, but it keeps getting worse, i cant seem to stop gaining weight,i mostly want to do it for health reasons, my fathers side is known for diabetes, and that worries me a lot, i have stopped drinking soda, i never really did, i love drinking water! but my stomach is always hurting me, if i eat at 6pm an hour later my stomach feels like it hasnt gotten anything for days, i was never this way before the baby, i would be able to last half a day without eating so im wondering if this has to do with me having my baby and how can i loose weight, i want to do exercises but not quite sure where to start thanx!

Tyra, YOUR SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!! I love how you incorporate that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc. I am a big girl, and as a result, have struggled with my self confidence my whole life. It's just so refreshing to watch tv and see someone as beautiful as you say it's ok if your not perfect or don't look like the chics in the magazines...that doesn't mean that your not beautiful. Best of all is that your not just saying it because it sounds good or trying to make us feel better, you truly believe it, and it shows!! Just want to say thank you for just being who you are. You are such an inspiration, not only to me, but so many others!! Thanks again. Sherri (Macclenny, Fl)

Hey, Riane: You are among friends here, love. Try some of these combacks on those twirps that feel the need to comment on your chest. I had a big chest when I was in school, and I always looked them in the eye and told them to to get a life, I never had a problem once I confronted them. Keep your chin up, remember that you are unique and strong, and that big mouths wish that they could live in your world. -------------------- So, a thought crossed your mind? Must have been a long and lonely journey. .... Pardon me, but you've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn. ... I'd like to help you out. Which way did you come in? ... I'm busy now. Can I ignore you some other time? Save your breath. You'll need it to blow up your date. ~~~~~ I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. ~~~~~ I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. ~~~~~ If you had your life to live over again, do it overseas.

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the heck alone. ~~~~~ You look like a million bucks!

Hi Tyra. I'm 16 and i was watching your show today about over weight children. I'm not extremal over weight, I'm 5' and 140, but my problem is that all of my extra weight is in my chest. I'm extremal self conscience about myself just because of that. I was just wondering if you could , well i don't know really... give me some advice about how to handle guys with there comments. That has to be the hardest part. Thanks so much, Riane

Hello Tyra,,,How are you, my god ...i love your show and so does my 12 year old daughter...we try to watch everyday. The reason that I am writing to you is becuase, like i said , I have a 12 year old, who was diagnosed with three chronic illnesses and is struggling everyday. I was hoping that maybe you can give her a shout out during show your one day, It would make her day.

Hey Tyra, I watch your show every day & I dream of being on there one day. You are my hero. I think choosing Talia in the Top 12 was one of the best things you've done in Top Model history. Talia is a true inspiration and hero to anyone. I look up to her & I am positive that she will make it HUGE in the modeling industry. Congratulations Talia! Amazing. Love one of your biggest fans, Stephanie.N.

Tyra , As a young women of colour I understand the pressures of conforming to a certain look in society. It is not about managaeablility and anyone who says that is talking garbage. It is about the rejection of our natural hair, or our roots. Growing it up it was the " light skinned " girls with " long hair"who were adored. Some people do not undertsand that we are conditioned to think that long straight( as in not kinky) hair is not only beautiful but a condition for acceptance within the wider society.I would also like to say it made me sad to see what these mothers were doing to their childrens hair ; these children did not even have a choice in the matter. That the hate these women felt for the beauty in black hair is being forced upon children at such a young age and where they believe everything mommy or daddy says leads me to believe that we as a people in the black community have an even bigger task at hand to let people know that black is beautiful.Hopefully your show on Good Hair/Bad Hair will educate people and lead to change their attitudes

Tyra, Your "Good / Bad Hair" episode had me talking to the television. I found myself responding to your panelists and guest speakers passionately. We like to advocate acceptance and equality but the women without perms and weaves were bashing those that choose to perm and weave. Why does a woman have to be "brainwashed" to want to look the way she pleases? How we feel about the way we look is supposed to be all that matters. It seems to be readily accepted for when we uplift each other but it's not. Women were torn down for liking their hair easily managable. The children were somewhat used as examples of a "self-hate" mentality but those that wanted straight or wavy hair were told they shouldn't and encouraged to like what they don't. Doesn't that teach a child not to be themselves? Their reasoning behind wanting "good" hair is their God-given right. You of all people could have spoken on this subject. You're not a model anymore. You have your own talkshow and can wear your hair any way you want. You choose to process and weave. You speak up and disagree on any topic you feel strongly about and give your opinion whether asked or not. Why didn't you speak up for the girls that are of an appropriate age for perms or weaves that wear them with "self love"? I don't mean to attack or accuse. I just want my daughter to hear both sides and be well informed and not be ridiculed because of that choice she may have made. She shouldn't be self conscious or doubt herself because someone she idolizes didn't think about what it could do to her self esteem not to hear that it's okay to style yourself 100% of the time. Thank

The diet game. I eat what I want, when I want, whenever I want, as much as I want, however I want. I also walk, at least this way I don't think about food and waste my time. Walking doesn't cause me to eat more than if I didn't exercise, versus running where I have to eat more. Even the slightest inclination to eat is correct to me, no matter what that food is. What I specifically don't do is think that I'm not going to eat. I usually have a meal idea in the back of my mind something that really makes me feel full and not hungry awhile. I'm usually gaining or loosing twenty pounds, it takes a month to gain, and three months to loose though walking. Expect to spend small periods of time gaining weight while loosing weight in the long term. The slope of your weight graph is negative, and it is oscillating up and down. If this doesn't get me desire (success) we might not agree on the meaning. Kristina Brooker 126 395 086

I saw your show on Good/Bad hair and I feel you were being snarky with the White woman alittle bit.You made a comment about when White woman date Black men, they do so because they want to experience the Black culture. Let me tell you, I am a Hispanic woman that has been married to a Black man for 14 years.When I met my husband I had no desire to experience the Black culture, I love my Hispanic culture! I love our music, our dancing, our islands, and our hair! When I met my husband it was love at first sight. It made no difference to me that he was a Black man. I felt like the comments you made to that woman were insinuating that when White woman date Black man they do so because they want to be Black. You also said something about her having an interracial child but wanting the child to have White people hair. I feel like if you could have finished your statement it would have ended with, if she wanted a child with White hair, she should have had a White child. Maybe I'm the only one who caught it or maybe I just read too much into it. But I heard a big difference in the way you spoke to the White woman as opposed to the Black women. Correct me if I' wrong.
