I really hope she slims down, because this is getting really dangerous.

I saw these yesterday and talked about them with theAudience. Very sad. She does not look well.

Bless her.

HOLYSH*T!!!! Aretha always been on heavier side but daaamn. I know everyone cant be small , average or what not but it not healthy being to overweight. Aretha always been up and down with her weight.

I saw these pics yesterday and was discussing them with a friend. She is grossly overweight. Emphasis on gross. Very sad. And happens to be in the photo with a physical fitness instructor. She definitely could use a sweater or a shawl.

I agree. Being overweight like that can be bad for your health.

Where is Star Jones when you really need her!

Ms. Aretha, you're the queen and you can do whatever you want, Your Highness.



But for the love of carbs, PLEASE put some sleeves on.

For her own sake, she should check herself into a hospital or clinic that could help her lose weight. She looks awful.

It's not just that....That doesn't just look bad physically but she is probably having health issues. isn't it harder for people over a certain age to lose weight? She probably needs surgery.

I'm sure her back is dying from those boobs ...Still love you Queen Aretha!!!

I thought she was doing pretty well with her weight at one time.

Cellulite is a bitch

That southern diet needs to go, we're losing too many greats. Oprah should help.

I'm sure she has mentioned something to Donna Richardson about it or vice versa. She was on Entertainment Tonight talking about her many conversations with Luther about weight before he passed away. She knows she needs to act fast. She also mentioned not liking to exercise, but she needs to face the fact that she has to move that body. She ain't never gonna be a size 6 but she's gotta get active.

I remember that....but it looks like she is getting bigger! She almost looks as if she could be one of those people who is so overweight that they are stuck in the house. I mean, she is big. It's not funny.

yeah during the 80's, but i think it all started when she stopped smoking. She smoked for years and years, and I know when you smoke cigarettes, you have a loss for appetite. But when she quit, she blew up.

It's probably not all her fault though, when you have health problems, the docs most of the time put you on meds that cause you to blow up like that, they tell you "if you just keep a healthy diet and exercise regularly, it shouldn't affect your weight that much"....but it doesn't happen that way, easier said than done.

But i don't know, I guess it depends on the person too, because I know I see myself creeping anywhere near 180 pounds, I would be eating carrots at lunch and exercising like crazy.....

I can't believe a strapless dress & bra can hold up those boobs

Oh ReRe, order some modesty w/ dessert

FunkMistress said:

ReRe.. she's not diabetic or anything is she?

She needs an intervention. I know the trainer that trained Anita Baker last year to get ready for her relaunch into the public eye. He and I need to try to get in contact with her people. I want to help her so badly. Id do it for free.

My God this is sad. I hope she can get it together real soon before something bad really happens.
