True. It's not fair to shame her because you think she looks unhealthy. Losing 200 pounds in 5 months or however long it is can't be healthy either, but no one is shaming the runner up.

I think it's concerning because of how much weight she lost in a short amount of time.

But I don't think she looks unhealthily skinny or anything.

My BMI is similar to hers and she looks way more muscular and toned than I do. Those legs!

18 is not anorexia level. 18.5 is "normal" and just under does not mean you're anorexic (though I think you mean anorexia nervosa - anorexia just means a small appetite). My BMI is under 18 and my doctor has never once expressed a concern over it.

In this case, she lost a massive amount of weight in a small period of…

18.5 is considered normal I think. But it's so close, that it's really stupid to throw that number around as underweight.

I'm just under the healthy BMI and my doctor isn't concerned about it. That's normal for me. I'm not sure that her doctor is okay with this, it's a massive amount of weight to lose, but we can't go around pretending that being in the overweight BMI range doesn't mean anything, but being in the underweight one does. At…

What's the timeline for this show? How long is the finale after the show stops taping? I guess I'm unsure how the trainers would be surprised by how she looks?

I'm 5'3" and 96 pounds. Usually around 103-105, but I'm on a medicine that's also a diuretic right now. I don't think she looks unhealthy, that's what I see in the mirror every day (and I think she looks more muscular than I do). And for what it's worth, my doctor isn't concerned about my weight at all.

I guess her…

He's still doing it. I went to his profile and he just submitted a music video to r/music

I know papers still do it, at least some of. We never did an announcement, but we don't really know anyone who still reads the paper :P

Errr, I meant the first link, not the second one.

I think both sides are blown out of proportion. Neither Repressed Memories nor False Memories are as common as their supporters would lead you to believe. I think the FMSF was a whiplash reaction to the repressed memory phenomenon that was so popular at the time. I…

The APA thinks repressed memories are possible, but incredibly rare. They also thing "false memories" are pretty rare too.

I quoted that to say that the organization themselves are saying they aren't at all relevant anymore. They're not the ones pushing the agenda in this case.

I've read both links. I've done my own research about all of this long before Dylan's letter.

The False Memory Foundation largely argues against the idea of repressed memories and started at a time when therapists were using very controversial and suggestive techniques to get people to remember their forgotten abuse…

FWIW, the biggest psychologist in the field, Elizabeth Loftus is very well respected, as far as I know.

Usually it's a case of someone "remembering" something that happened years ago. There was a string of women remembering in their thirties that they had been molested as a child (but they weren't). It can happen with suggestive questioning in children. But this doesn't seem to be the case here, it doesn't sound like…

True. At that point you might just be out the cost of the engagement shoot. Ours wasn't included in our package, but wasn't very expensive (relatively speaking).

We did it in September. We were definitely awkward, but looking at the pictures, I can make adjustments for how we pose or whatever on our wedding day.

Well it's not really about testing out their work. It's more about getting comfortable with them. My fiancé and I are super awkward in front of a camera. Our engagement session helped us get more comfortable with our photographer before the big day.

My aunts and uncles got engagement photos in the 80s, but they were kind of like formal head shots done in a studio. I think people used to do them for newspaper announcements? (not that my aunts or uncles announced their engagements in a paper)

I saw him this summer in concert and it was honestly one of the best shows I've ever been to. He's fantastic live and puts on a great performance. My fiancé isn't a huge fan, but came with me, and agreed about what a great performer he was.
