Tyra Banks: From bulky swimsuit to dropping 5 dress sizes

Back in 2007, former supermodel Tyra Banks hit the headlines, after she was reportedly photographed in a swimsuit looking rather bulky. At the time she was snapped, she had piled on the pounds and apparently weighed 11st 7lbs.

But as Tyra, who is currently the host of “America’s Next Top Model,” posed for the cameras yesterday, she was definitely half the woman she used to be. Since 2007, she has dropped five dress sizes, going from a size 14-16, to a now slender size 8.

And according to entertainmentwise.com, she couldn’t be any happier now she has lost the weight, and says she always feels great when she has no clothes on. Tyra showed off her slimmed down body, while doing an al fresco photo shoot, in NYC.
