    hope she can keep it off when she starts eating FOOD again. Those liquid extreme diets are good for the initial weight loss, but really don’t teach you how to eat and how to change your relationship with food. She looks good!-BUT-because I know how mean she is on the inside, it’s hard to root for her

    • T says:

      Exactly! So ugly on the inside…just like her Mamma!

    • POW says:

      I agree!! When you’re ugly on the inside, it doesn’t matter how you look on the outside.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      I TOTALLY agree Camm – as much as she annoys me, I AM rooting for her. However, those liquid diets almost never help ppl KEEP weight off long term. None of these extreme diets are good because as soon as you start eating, as you said, real FOOD or half-way normally again, you blow up. Unless she’s prepared to have a VERY restrictive diet with VERY few calories for the REST OF HER LIFE, she’s going to put the weight back on. Caroline being a woman of um…advanced years ought to have a few pearls of insight about this subject to offer her daughter. Oops, I forgot, she’s always been tiny! I’m not tiny, not huge, but I definitely had weight to lose and it took me a very long time to realize and accept I just had to change my diet PERMANENTLY to simply ” healthy”. The downside to that is weight loss takes MUCH longer than it would if you went on a super restrictive diet – YEARS sometimes, it comes off a pound here, a pound there. The upside is, it’s not painful and it stays OFF.

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        And P.S. – it didn’t cost me a cent.

      • Lauren T says:

        I bet she will end up even fatter than before…Though i think she got lapband. It runs in the family.

        • gupto says:

          i think she had the surgery also…

        • BravNo says:

          Me too. It’s obvious

          • jmm27 says:

            She totally got the lap band – remember there hasn’t been that much time since filming the last season. Caroline, Al, and NOW Lauren got the lap band, and now she’s announcing she can’t say how because she’ s still under contract. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It doesn’t matter, because she is the epitome of a mean girl just like Mama C.

      • Jennifer says:

        I truly hope she keeps the weight off. I hope she lost it in a healthy way. I am not a fan of liquid diets. I hope she will use portion control and exercise to stablize her weight.

      • HW Fan since OC says:

        Lauren also had Lap Ban surgery.Her attitude is still very bad.

        • Isa says:

          Yes she did. I’m not congratulating someone who took the easy way instead of putting the spoon and cheese away and exercising.

          • Katie says:

            The easy way out??? Before you make SNAP JUDGEMENTS…do some research on bariatric surgery. It’s ANYTHING but the easy way out.

          • Jennifer says:

            Katie,

            According to Lauren’s article it was her easy way out. She said it right in there. I wanted to eat real food hated egg white diet.

        • Isabella Patricia says:

          She’s so young! Why have lap band surgery? Her mother probably made her do it since CaroClown did it too. Lauren is TOO LAZY to eat right, and work out every now n then. Lauren is young, and she should EXERCISE while she’s still young. Idk. Even though she lost weight, she’s still sort of big to me. Why not eat healthier, and eat smaller portions? I don’t like her behavior, and her attitude and soul is blacker than charcoal. Like mother, like daughter! She’s a horrible person, and getting the lap band at a very young age isn’t good. It’ll affect her later, and then she’ll be sorry! What a stupid girl! She needs to workout with me! Lol. I’ll push her to workout hard! Then again, she’ll probably give up before she even starts. LAZY WOMAN.

          • darnkid says:

            Isabella, you have no concept whatsoever about why people overeat. Most overweight people are emotional eaters. If you lived in a house where everyone, including your mother dogged you about your weight, you would understand. It is a vicious cycle-you eat because you are emotional or upset or depressed, and then those feelings continue because you beat yourself up over using food for comfort. Have some compassion for others. Don’t judge until you have walked in their shoes.

          • Jennifer says:

            America is Obese because there is no sense of regulation and moderation with food. No one prepares food. French women are thinner because they cook, it smaller portions and exercise more.

            Emotional eating is a cop out. If it were true all fat people are emotional eaters, then it would be a homogenous number through all societies. It isn’t this is cultural.

            Make choices in how you eat.

    • Lauren T says:

      When you are truly an ugly person on the inside, you will always be ugly on the outside…. Lauren is ugly.

    • LifeIsGood says:

      Absolutely right, Cammierari. Those extremely low cal diets destroy your metabolism and throw your hormonal system into chaos. She needs to get to the root of her food issues. If she doesn’t, she’ll gain it all back and then some.

      I also agree that she is hard to root for. I guess we can only hope that the boost in her self image will produce some positive changes in her personality. She’s still young so there is a chance, but I’m not betting on it. She is too much like her mother.

      • sharshar says:

        *cough* lap band* cough.
        giving Lauren the side-eye on this one.

      • Seven says:

        I bet the stress of dealing with her mother and being the least favorite child contributes a lot to her food issues. Not only is Caroline mean, she’s clearly in competition with her daughter with all her “Lauren’s a fatty, I have a body like Melissa’s” bs. That can’t be easy, especially when Caroline sabotages her by cooking her favorite foods and grinning while everyone moos at her.

        • cammierari says:

          did caroline REALLY say she had a body like Melissa’s???? Oh my God this woman needs the world’s biggest bitch slap

          • Seven says:

            Yeah, I’m pretty sure she said she used to have a body like Melissa’s in one of her interview clips. That’s why I kind of feel sorry for Lauren. As nasty as she is, she probably is desperate for her Mother’s approval and thinks getting on the hate train is the only way to get it.

    • Um look at her arms… She didn’t work out. No matter how skinny one gets if you dont lift weight you have fat girl arms!! Im not impressed. Neither is Vito, when she takes her clothes off… Just sayin, if you want to lose weight it’s easy! Stop doing everything you are doing(eating) now, cut it in half and take a pill to speed up ur metabolism. If you want to keep weight off you have to have some sort of work out routine. It takes 21 days to make a habit, working out feels good to the body and mind. This bitch could do both..

    • SalmonCakes says:

      Her mom will still find something to pick on her about. Now, the negative comments will be coming from jealousy. Caroline is miserable and borderline evil.

  2. pennsylvania boy says:

    I don’t give a rats ass what she looks like..I don’t like her!

  3. duffyy says:

    She put her hair down and got a breast reduction? I don’t see anything else

    • staceychris says:

      Boobs is the first place you lose, that said, that is quite a drop…..you are probably right about a breast reduction!!

    • michers says:

      Its sad because she was tormented constantly and humiliated by her family on tv, and she didn’t mind it! Whats baffling to me is that her arms are still big and her face still looks kind of puffy.. A lot of people lose it in their face first I thought? And if she is doing a non healthy lose weight quick gimmick, it won’t stay off , unless she gets surgery like other family members.

      • Shipp says:

        I don’t see a big difference either, perhaps the camera angle. But, she ain’t no size 4 or 6, unless the sales person is lying to her.

    • LifeIsGood says:

      I can see a big difference in her face. But her arms tell me she didn’t exercise very much. It’s not advisable to do a low cal diet and kill it in the gym.

  4. SA says:

    looks like another sucessful lapband surgery for the Manzo family…..

  5. Sidney says:

    Wow Good for her!

  6. JD says:

    OK…So where is the AFTER PIC?

  7. Honnie Badger says:

    I always thought she had such a pretty face — she has her dad’s glorious brown eyes.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      I agree, she does have pretty, big, brown eyes. That’s about as nice a thing I can say!

      • JanShe says:

        Honnie, you twisted my arm. She does have nice eyes, I’ll give her that.

        • Me says:

          I am sure her mom tells her “Too bad you don’t have these blue eyes so you can really look like Miss Piggy!”.

          Caroliine has the audacity to call herself tiny? Where??? She is fat and from the looks of it, as always been hefty.

          • maybeitsyou says:

            Tiny, hmmm. It’s become pretty clear CM doesn’t have a very clear picture of herself. She’t too busy looking for flaws in Tre’ to see what’s right in front of her.

  8. staceychris says:

    She’s a nasty piece of work however she comes by it honestly. As for the diet, been there done that and as hard as getting it off is, keeping it off is when the work really begins. Hope she succeeds for her sake.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      Yep. I said something similar upthread. Keeping it off is the real work.

    • Janie G says:

      Re: “she’s a nasty piece of work”…..didn’t
      Caroline say children are a product of their environment in re: to Gia. Caroline has certainly passed her critical, arrogant personality to her daughter. Lauren does look nice though.

  9. Anacapri says:

    She looks pretty-but it’s what’s on the inside that counts.She is a mean witch.

    • Jen in Jersey says:

      Agree!

    • Annah says:

      Maybe she was a mean witch because she was so unhappy with herself and was feeling angry and bitter. I am hopeful that the weight loss will be encouraging for her and she won’t feel the need to bring those she is jealous of, down a peg. I thought she was really pretty in season 1 and not bad in season 2… I think she looks great now, especially with her hair the way she has it. I just hope her bitterness melted away with the fat.

  10. CCF says:

    She has lost a good bit of weight! Keep it up Lauren! And try to be less of a bitch! Then you will be beautiful inside and out!

  11. rachel says:

    Um pay me or anyone what they paid her to lose weight and we’d all accomplish that weight loss. Trust!

  12. Helen Wheels says:

    I’m wondering how long it will be before she drops Vito just as abruptly as she dropped the weight.

    • LouLou says:

      Great point Helen Wheels! Also loving your new site.. Fabulous!

    • Sadie says:

      When her mom gets her a guest spot on Millionaire Matchmaker!

      • LouLou says:

        Lol… I watched that episode yesterday of LargeMarge and her boys on MM… Watching it now with new eyes it is quite bizarre¡ Clearly Patti was not interested in helping Chris and his body language showed annoyance the whole time! Wonder what she knew back then…..

        • cammierari says:

          one of these months (if I can stand it) I’d like to go back and watch the first two seasons of RHONJ (when I liked Caroline) and see what I think NOW….

        • U can't hide stupid says:

          LouLou
          I hadn’t noticed that patti was cold to critter-boy. I wonder why? Anyone have any guesses? Or is it just tht old “albie is the handsome one” nonsense. Which I don’t see at all. I think they’re both pretty homely

          On the other hand, Lauren looks good. Yeah, I see the arms, etc. and she probably did get Lapland or starvd her muscles with liquid diet. But her face looks great. Hope she can keep it up. Maybe getting out of her mothers house and away from her influence will help her

          • JoJoLaMa says:

            Patti Stanger said about Albie ” If I were 25 yrs old, I’d TOTALLY hit that!!” So it’s fair to say yeah, she thought Albie was the handsome one. :-)

        • michers says:

          I saw that one awhile ago, crazy huh? Caroline kept butting in of course trying to tell Patti crap, and Patti clearly said cut the strings, something like that if I remember correctly

  13. Jen in Jersey says:

    I’m not a Lauren fan, ok, any Manzo really( bitter, ugly people). But I truly wonder if she actually “worked” the weight off, or if it came off via the lap band. I’m tired of all the easy fixes and then they act as if anyone can lose weight, when they didn’t lose it honestly. I wish her well, but hope she doesn’t do a Star Jones and not fess up to how she lost it (the weight that is). LOL

  14. pennsylvania boy says:

    Christopher,A pig called,he wants his fatback ;)

  15. rita d says:

    Ugh…who cares…she’s a FACA BRUTE like her mother

    • JD says:

      hahahaha…i don’t know what FACA BRUTE is, but since i am creole, it reminds me of KAKA

      • JD says:

        I just found out what FACIA BRUTE means, ‘ugly face’ LOL

        • rita d says:

          I spelled it wrong..its pronounced facha…and it does mean ugly,mean face…i dont want to be a hater but she brings it out of me

          • Shipp says:

            JD, badda bing, you got it girl, facia brute.

          • Helen Wheels says:

            Whenever I look at either Caroline or Lauren I am reminded of Tony Soprano’s observation that his mother was a “fucking miserable.” (Pronounced, well you know how to pronounce the first word, the second is pronounced “miser-ob”

  16. Katheirne says:

    Wow, I am shocked at how catty everyone’s responses are! You are all no different or better the drama going on on the show. Shame!

    • Tenisha says:

      Totally agree. I haven’t seen name calling like this since junior high.

      • rita d says:

        In life you get what you give…thats why she is getting these comments…if she was a different kind of person than people would be happy for her successful weight loss whether it be a diet or a lap band..

        • Tenisha says:

          I understand why people have issues with all the Manzos. People accuse her of saying mean and nasty things about Tre but then turn around and do the same thing to her. How are they different from Lauren?

        • BCJen says:

          Maybe if Lauren didn’t attack so many people on Twitter people would have nicer things to say about her.

    • jerseygirl says:

      Oh, calm yourself. She should know that 15 minutes of reality tv fame means opening yourself up to judgement and harsh criticism by the viewing public. Plus, she’s often shown calling people nasty names and being extremely condescending & negative. That doesn’t help her cause.

      And I don’t follow any of them on twitter, but it sounds like she’s dishes it out pretty good on social media.

      So you put all of those things together, she’s just getting a taste of her own medicine.

      • Tenisha says:

        I am calm… I just find it really hypocritical for people to accuse her of name calling and being evil all the while calling her names. You say she deserves it…but wouldn’t that mean that the people bashing Lauren deserved to be bashed as well. I am no fan of the show and haven’t watched a single episode of this season but I couldn’t help but respond after almost 70 comments of nothing but insults to a positive post.

        • Shipp says:

          Mooooooooo, she’s a cow.

          • Helen Wheels says:

            Tenisha,

            Normally I would agree with you but the Manzo’s just know how to work a nerve and we’re only human.

            ANYONE that says, ON CAMERA, as Lauren did, “…Teresa wants everyone to suck her asshole…” is ugly inside and out and should expect just about anything to come HER way. As Danielle would say if she were here – just sayin’.

          • jerseygirl says:

            snark! lol.

          • jen says:

            and she needs all that extra skin cut off. dead give away she hasn’t been dieting and working out.lazy slob like her BIG MAMA

        • jerseygirl says:

          If you calmed down for a second, you’d have read the part about, she’s opened her self up to harsh criticism by being on reality TV. It’s part of the gig.

          I’m giving you a hard time, because WHAT are you doing on a blog site if you’re going to get up in arms when people saying harsh things about a reality tv show cast member?(And in case you are missing this point I am beating to death: reality TV stars are putting themselves out there for attention, both negative and positive!! They don’t get to choose!) They will be bombarded with opinions and that’s what we are giving, our opinions. Is it always nice? No. But it’s a blog site. The amount of hateful comments she’s getting is because she puts out a lot of hate. Helen Wheels was far more diplomatic and succinct, but I’m just not in the mood to have some den mother type showing up and telling commenters to be nice. And nice to a person who has shown nothing but disdain for anyone who doesn’t agree with her or her mother.

          Have at the opnions and disagree with them, but don’t wag your judgemental finger at people. On a blog site. About a bunch of fame hungry, REALITY TV stars!

          • Tenisha says:

            LMAO! You are calling me judgmental??!! Pot meet kettle! I can go on any freaking blog site that I choose and paste my comments anywhere that I want…as can you. But just as I opened myself up to criticism by posting my opinion so did you. Deal with it. I am not a fan of any of the Jersey Housewives. They all need therapy in my opinion. However calling someone names because they called someone else names is H Y P O C R I T I C A L. You can say whatever you want about the reasons or how horrible a person is but you are no better than them if you do it also. Now…is there anything else?

          • jerseygirl says:

            Yes there is Tenisha. Again, calm down and pay attention, I didn’t call her names. Merely pointing out lauren’s actions. Nor did I call you a hypocrite. I’m questioning your presence on a blog site where harsh opinions of ALL of these women run rampant.

            Others called her names because that is what people do on blog sites!!! Have you read the things that are written about the other housewives? Read any other blog sites about celebs or realty tv personalities. If you have been equally shocked and outraged, you should know the drill. The comments made are a like polling. What do people think of the persona you project publicly. In Lauren’s case it’s not good.. We do not know these people personally. We respond to their public persona. So I am commenting on your outrage over something that happens over and over again in celeb blogging.

            I get that two wrongs don’t make a right. Of course it doesn’t and no the comments about Lauren aren’t nice. The take away from these comments should be that these people do not like Lauren. And that’s it. Telling people to be nice isn’t going to go over well (clearly). Tell them they are wrong because lauren is xyz etc then you have a debate, not a slew of people commenting on not wanting to be told how to behave on a blog.

            Clearly you have been put on the defensive and that isn’t a great position to be in. Adding to that isn’t nice to you. But when you attack me by calling me a hypocrite, when I have stated nothing but facts about Lauren, and accuse me of things I have not done, I will fire back.

            By the way, if you aren’t a fan of the jersey housewives, I ask again, WHAT are you doing here?

        • JoJoLaMa says:

          Tenisha, I would urge you to re-read this thread. Yes, some ppl simply call her names, but MOST others, as I said somewhere else on here have said something to the effect of ” Good for her, but her behavior is still NASTY.”

          • JoJoLaMa says:

            Also, as Jerseygirl said, Lauren not only gives as good as she gets via twitter and other places, but SHE engages the most vile, evil posters instead of just ignoring or blocking them. SHE is known to get into long exchanges with ppl saying things like ” Eat your aunt’s p*ssy!”. This is the Manzo family MO. Why? My guess is because if you draw attention to ppl attacking you who are clearly illiterate, vulgar or just plain crazy, it distracts from the more reasoned and reasonABLE critiques of your behavior. I don’t make it a practice of making fun of chubby girls. I was one. I don’t make a practice of making fun of ANYONE, period. Lauren is just a nasty human being and I don’t feel badly about saying so.

          • Tenisha says:

            I have read the entire thread. I was speaking of the post where was name calling. I just don’t get why people clicked this post about her losing weight just to spew all the hate. We don’t have to like her because God knows I don’t but I also don’t have to act like she does and still point the finger.

          • cammierari says:

            I appreciate both sides. I try not to call names but…I completely agree that those that name call don’t deserve to be spared from it themselves.
            My usual thought towards anyone who feels different than me is “to each his own” and that’s what makes the world go round. Whether it’s hypocritical to call names on a blog or totally justified-WHO IS TO SAY? Accept that others feel different than you and don’t feel the need to scold those that do. Very few people change their mind as a result of someone playing blog police anyway…don’t you think?

        • Jennifer says:

          Tenisha,

          With all do respect Lauren deserves most of the negative comments she receives. I agree with others she has chosen the public life and it comes with the territory, but Lauren is extremely rude and vicious on twitter. If someone disagrees with her or her mother even nicely she goes for the jugular. It isn’t right or becoming to act as she does.

        • Aunt Julie says:

          If you pay me, bash away! Lol

    • Lauren T says:

      Lauren had no problem calling Teresa and her kids names…Trust me, all of us are taking it easy on her.

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        I agree. And most ppl are really just expressing concern about the rather extreme and ultimately ( probably ) ineffectual diet she’s on. I guarantee too, it’s also insanely expensive.

      • jen says:

        I don’t know about anyone else but when season 1 first came on i wasn’t thinking ,that fat bitch, to be honest i didn’t even notice. Her nasty attitude that started seaon 3 and her OWN brothers calling her names, which by the way has to hurt a hell of alot more then strangers doing it, is what i think makes everyone here pick her apart.

    • Me says:

      oh stfu…. if you don’t like reality then go back to watching the Jefferson’s

  17. Flowers says:

    She is just a crouchy troll just like her droop nosed mother.

  18. pennsylvania boy says:

    They need to dig deeper into what makes them ugly inside and out!

  19. Ash Jones says:

    grrrr I don’t care for her one bit! Car and Jac keep insisting their children are adults because they are 24 and 21 but you know what so am I and I would never publicly bash family members or other adults. Entitled know it all brat that’s ugly on the inside. Hopefully feeling more confident on the outside will make her a less miserable person.

  20. Someone Who Is Watching says:

    Good for her. I have a couple of friends that have battled their weight for years it has been a long bumpy road and they have not had much success. Its good to see someone succeed regardless of the method. Maybe she secretly used the recipes from Fit & Fabulous!

  21. jen says:

    Now stay away from LARGE MARGE’s fried meatballs!!!Oh and maybe you should have waited to do the surgery till after you had a few kids. All that money LARGE MARGE and FAT ALBERT put out for you and it will all come back. SORRY!!!

  22. Lisa Lisa says:

    I really feel sorry for Lauren. I’m not proud of her weight loss because a) in my opinion, she didn’t need it. She is one of the few people that look good with a bit of roundness b) her self esteem is tied to her weight and I wish she would break that connection instead of giving into it and c) she validates her family’s abuse. Not only have they been mean when she had more weight, they have been incessantly commenting on how “good she looks now.” What was wrong with how she looked before??

    I really dislike the Manzos and how they treat others and their own kind. Very mean spirited in all directions.

    On a positive note, Vito seems like a nice guy. Maybe he can sway her from the dark side.

  23. BINO says:

    Lauren looks great! I only hope her nasty attitude improves.

  24. Amanda says:

    Mean or not she does look good. She’s giving off a Meadow Soprano-ish vibe (Don’t jump me, I said “ish”, lol)

  25. Cat says:

    “Haters r gonna hate” They truly have no life and are filled with bitterness and venom! People paleese stop with the negativity already-
    LOSERS!!

    • Shipp says:

      To paraphrase Lumpy Lauren….you have to suck on Teresa’s asshole to talk to her. Hmmmm, a little “venom? A little “negativity”? So there’s your nice Chunky baby of Large Marge. Screw both of them.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      Cat, I’ve read every single comment on this thread and with very few exceptions, what I hear is ” Good for her, but lord, she’s unpleasant!” Ppl don’t like her BEHAVIOR. Ppl don’t agree with how she’s treated Teresa. Ppl have a problem with her glaring hypocrisy. Ppl (myself included ) have expressed concern that liquid egg whites 2 x a day might not be a good long term weight loss strategy.

      It’s a very MANZO thing to label any and all criticism of your behavior as wrong and the ppl giving it evil, with ugly motives.

    • U can't hide stupid says:

      Ouch! Did someone just say ” haters are gonna hate” and then call commenters losers? Rethink that one. Just sayin

    • Rach says:

      LOL @ this asinine comment. Oh, the irony.

  26. Calzoned says:

    I’m gonna have to call Bee Ess on Lauren’s weight problem. I’m convinced that it’s just a stupid plot contrivance to keep them relevant. I just saw pics of her from 2007-2009 and she was adorable — and in great shape. She looked a lot smaller than she does now, so…while she may have battled her weight from time to time, she really ballooned up after she started dating Vito and after the first season of RHNJ. She didn’t look like she did in that gawd-awful prom pic her mother showed in the pics I saw, and she obviously hasn’t been on the heavy side for all of her life! Speaking of Vito…was it season 2 that focused on Albie being pissy about Vito dating his sister? Lauren recently tweeted that she and Vito have been together for 3 years. I know real time is different in Reality TV terms…but, huh?

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      I don’t know about the timeline, but I DO believe Albie was a little weirded out by his self-described ” best friend ” dating his sister, but for a different reason than he stated on the show. Again, Vito was not only ALBIE’S friend first, but his ROOMMATE at Fordham, so it’s safe to say they knew a lot about each other! According to Don, SHE saw Vito and said ” Lauren, that’s your husband!” ( Remember, depending on when this was, Lauren was anywhere from 18 to 21, not exactly a spinster yet. Boy, they want to marry that girl off! ) Okay, so now, Vito practically is her husband – thanks Albie! Okay, now Greggy. He TOO was ALBIE’S friend, someone he met OUTSIDE the “fambly”, OUTSIDE of Jersey at college on his OWN. In Season 2, we’re treated to Lauren BITCHING and literally CRYING because not only Chris and Albie, but Greggy too, isn’t “including her” enough! She complained a little bit about Greggy pushing her out of the fold, but THEN in a talking head she aimed her ire at her brothers saying ” It’s not fair, they’re all buddy, buddy with Greg! Greg used to be MY friend!” Huh? what?

      As I see it, Albie has every right to feel a little annoyed that he’s not allowed, apparently, to have friends he can keep to himself. And it makes you wonder, can’t Lauren get her own friends and husbands?

      • Calzoned says:

        I checked the date of the first time Vito was shown, and it was during season 2, a year after Lauren had been dating Vito–going by her math. Lauren had been dating Vito a few months when Albie had the sit-down with him, so I’m curious as to how phoney-baloney scripted RHNJ truly is — or isn’t.

      • U can't hide stupid says:

        JoJoLaMa. I Didn’t know that about Vito being Alboes roommate at Fordham or Caroline mandated him as Lauren’s husband. Lawdy these people sure are strange. And that whole “I miss my brothers” nonsense – just another weak azz storyline. These people have no friends. IMO

        • JoJoLaMa says:

          Yep. Like I said, she seems to have trouble finding her own friends…..and husbands. Poor Albie has to handle that all for her, and if he has a problem with it, DonCaro and Lauren, tell him to shut up and deal with it, like they did when he found out Lauren was dating his best friend.

  27. Calzoned says:

    Also…is that Caroline’s sister, Anne in the top pic, standing next to Lauren?

  28. Koopla says:

    Congrats to Lauren for losing all that weight! She looks GREAT! Now let’s hope she can seperate a little from her family and become her own person and not caro’s little shadow.

  29. Maggie says:

    I hope this works out for her long-term. As a personal trainer, this CAN be the start of good things for her as far as her weight and fitness goes.

    But, I wonder what on earth her family will talk to her about now that they can’t berate her about her weight!

  30. Rach says:

    Too bad she’s still a miserable bitch. Just like her momma.

  31. I hope the lost the weight in a healthy way.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      She did not, myblackfriendsays – 2 shakes of flavored “liquid egg whites” and a ” sensible ” meal 1 x a day. I don’t care that a Dr recommends it, to me, that’s not healthy and will almost guarantee she’ll regain it all back and them some. I feel bad for her.

      • Shipp says:

        If she really wants to lose weight she should have her jaw wired shut. Loose weight and STFU at the same time.

  32. AsianPosh1 says:

    Love her or hate her she looks great! Keep it up Lauren! :)

  33. Annie says:

    She lost the weight for now but she’s gonna gain it all back, and then some. Liquid diets are unhealthy and only guarantee short-term weight loss. The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to change your lifestyle and the way you eat and develop a different relationship with food. And when she does gain it all back, she’ll deserve it. She’s a truly miserable and ugly person inside and out, just like her mother.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      I agree. Somewhere I heard her say she’s not allowed to eat pasta. You know, those evil carbs, I guess. How about eating 1 decent serving of whole wheat pasta with some nice red sauce and fresh basil and a salad? I admit, I’m not an expert, I have no credentials, but I can’t believe there are still so many ppl on these low carb diets AND so many drs pushing them. I guess the argument is “they work” meaning you will lose weight on them, but so what? 1. By that criterion, there are lots of diets that “work” and 2. Normal ppl in normal situations eat CARBS. Cut out soda and cake, yes, a nice bowl of pasta occasionally NO. Ok, rant finished.

  34. Champ-ion says:

    just amazing; though, how her ARMS are still hefty :-/

    • jen says:

      because sheis not dieting and working out she just got lap band surgery, she really needs all that extra skin removed

    • michers says:

      See, thats what I thought! Not being mean but her arms and her face should be thinner , no?

  35. Jennifer says:

    Good for Lauren losing 50 pounds. I do not like liquid diets because I had several friends who did them. They were about Lauren’s size prior to doing the diet. They lost 30-40 pounds and looked great then gradually during the year they gained the weight back.

    I hope for her sake it is not a short-term weight loss. I am a firm believer in portion control and working out with a trainer.

    I don’t think she had surgery simply because of age. I would hope doctors would not qualify Lauren as a candidate without having her exhaust all other avenues for losing weight.

  36. jerseygirl says:

    From what I’ve seen of her on TV with her borderline allergy to any activity, and talk about her extreme dieting? She hasn’t changed her unhealthy lifestyle. She might weigh less, but she’s still unhealthy. Health is not just about weight! She gets no kudos from me.

  37. Buzzworthy2011 says:

    Good for her. I hope she is happy and is able to maintain.

  38. anna says:

    OMG. She’s beautiful!! She looks AMAZING!!

  39. Shannon says:

    Some of these comments are truly disgusting.

  40. Tenisha says:

    She looks nice! Good for her.

    • Samantha says:

      Lauren has always reminded me a little of Natalie Wood and now I can really see it. I agree, she looks great!

  41. Debbie says:

    She could lose 100 lbs- but if you are ugly on the inside you are more ugly on the outside. She needs to lose 100 lbs of ugly

  42. Anonymousey says:

    She should try to lose her nasty personality next. Like mother like daughter.

    • hwcrazygal says:

      The Star magazine article last week said Lauren had the lap band surgery last summer.

      • Jennifer says:

        If she had lap-band, which I hope she didn’t there is a high regression rate to gain even more than they lost because it is not a “Magic Bullet.”

  43. Me says:

    Personally I think that she had lap band and serious lipo/breast reduction.

    Unfortunately, when someone is as insecure as Lauren has displayed to be she will always see a fat person in the mirror. She needs therapy… mental one.

  44. jerzlanta says:

    meho looks like shes been crying on the interview, and lying as usual. whoopi is NOT on the couch! the rumors were true

  45. Me says:

    I dont know what REAL DR will give this chick lap-band at her age and also given he fact that she was not OBESE! Let’s be for real. CHick was not 100 pounds overweight. This photo looks photoshop and even if she had the procedure and doesn’t work out, she will look like a wet rag by the time she has a child.

  46. Shar says:

    I dont like Lauren at all. The fact that she had this big opening for her cosmetics or whatever and packed up the next day and quit, I have no respect for her at all, but I will say she actually looks pretty in the after pic.

  47. TRACKER says:

    Lauren, you look gorgeous,the only ugly I see lies within these posters..Iv’e never seen women turn so nasty,this trend should stop.

  48. P. Long says:

    I totally agree tracker. What ever happened to a simple congratulations!!! It takes alot work to lose wait. So way to go Lauren!!! U look gorgeous. U people are something else.

  49. Rede says:

    What is with all of you??? Does it make you all feel big and proud of
    yourselves to put down such a young girl? I can’t even believe all this hatred.
    With all the nonsense and evil doings by theresa, both joes and melissa-
    you all pick on Lauren???? You all must not be watching the same show as I am.

    • Sofia says:

      Are you kidding me??
      WE pick ON Lauren??
      Lauren is a bully!!Just like her mom!
      She is not a ‘such a young girl’ She is a nasty//lazzzy//moody//bitch!

      ‘Such a young girl’ DOESN’T say on camera that a mom of 4 likes it when people suck her a$$hole. That’s Lauren to you!YUCK!!

      • Sofia says:

        Gia is a young girl!
        But did you tell people who bashed a ‘such a young girl’ to stop?
        Did you think it was OK for Caro and Jacko to treat her the way they did?

    • Jennifer says:

      Rede,

      Dear Lord! Lauren is horrid on the show towards others and on social media. She is so horrid on social media that she rarely ever receives positive tweets.

      I am personally happy she lost weight. I hope she keeps it off and did it in a healthy way. However, to call the posters names it not only uncalled for, but also misinformed. Lauren is her own worst advocate and she is terribly mean. She has a lot of hatred to people she doesn’t know simply for disagreeing with her or her mother. She even went after her uncle Jamie on Twitter.

  50. Nic says:

    She really is a beautiful girl, no matter her weight. Her weight was never an issue until her mother made it one on national television this year. But her personality really sucks.

  51. PixelDust says:

    I really wish that these manzo spawns would just go away and hopefully take greggy with them.

  52. Belle557 says:

    Lauren looks fabulous. She put a lot of hard work into her weight loss, stayed committed to it and it paid off. I give credit where credit is due, and regardless of how I feel about her mother’s nastiness on the show, I think Lauren looks amazingly beautiful and should be very proud of herself!

  53. V. R. says:

    Still does NOTHING for that ROTTON inside! Her attitude is JUST LIKE HER MOTHER… MEAN, NASTY, HORRIBLE, AND UNHAPPY! Maybe now, she will smile a little….

  54. lisalove says:

    Good for her! Everyone on here complains about her being nasty & ugly yet leave nasty remarks…funny. I love Caroline & her kids…they have never came off as terrible people to me.

  55. Mela says:

    I find it odd that she would qualify for this surgery. In most cases a person has to be extremely overweight, next to obese, before a respectable surgeon would perform a lap band procedure on a young person. A good life’s lesson….it’s not what you know but rather who you know!

  56. Tell-io says:

    She looks good. I guess her mom will love her now.

  57. superlluclkycat says:

    God, you people are relentless. For those of you who talk about being ugly on the inside – you must have been avoiding mirrors for a while, because I’m guessing it didn’t stop there. I can’t even believe people are chastising that someone had surgery, yet saying they don’t want to even look at someone until they’ve had their ear lobe size corrected?? You are sick, sick hags at your own online hen party.

  58. Horacio says:

    Are you guys watching the same show? Lauren, mean? Caroline mean? if there is anyone who is a down right disgrace on that show its Teresa…but thats besides the point…I am happy for her and know how much she struggled…i wish her the best of luck!
