It's not just a matter of looks. Being thinner feels better, and it's healthier. 30 pounds on a petite frame like hers is a LOT, and it's hard to lose that much as well.

She went from looking cadaverous to looking normally healthy. What a shame people think she's 'bulking up' for a role.

Since one stone equals fourteen pounds, we're talking about nearly thirty pounds here. I that a lot?
