1. Wow...she seems to a "relaxed" attitude about being out in public.

I'm guessing she's betweem tours right now (Terry stating the obvious)

[progmom]

2. she tends to put on weight in between albums

...then works out like crazy and slims down again before she gets back in the public eye.

[Taverner]

3. Makes total sense

She probably continues to lift weights, and that way when she sheds the fat, the muscle is still toned and underneath. A lot easier to do than staying permanently toned and fat free....

[progmom]

5. i agree

....and i think she still looks great. :shrug:

[Taverner]

8. Healthier too to gain and shed

Than to just keep toned....pro bodybuilders do it all the time.

4. she got fat. happens to a lot of people

:shrug:

she's always battled her weight and, after the whole wardrobe malfunction and Michael on trial time she's had lately, she probably turned to food for comfort.

6. Yes, Janet. How DARE you

...lose that impossibly perfect figure and gain a few pounds!? How dare you succumb to the pitfalls of age and the stress of a lifetime of showbiz!? How dare you be anything less than eye candy, ever? Don't you know you have no other worth as a human being? For the love of god woman, pull yourself together and become young and slim and beautiful again!

Lord knows those of us who criticize you certainly are.

10. Thank you, dear.

I think she's better looking than most of us, even with a few pounds that we don't recognize. I sorta like the fact that shes goes comfortably about her business in casual attire. :thumbsup:

[Dangerously Amused]

13. Yup.

Gotta get it out there.


:)

7. The same thing that happens to all of us-

she is getting older. She is not fat, she looks like millions of other women.
If somebody has to starve themselves and exercises non stop to maintain a certain weight-clearly that is not their normal weight.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. She put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants???

That's my guess. :shrug: A million and a half women...and men, would be happy to be her size, as it "appears" in that picture. We are a cruel society at times.

[Heidi]

11. We're a cruel society

at _many_ times, I think. I bet Ms. Jackson's creativity, which is what she's paid for primarily, doesn't suffer just because she went outdoors in sports attire.

[HEyHEY]

12. No way?!

[Heidi]

14. No way (?!) what? (nt)

[HEyHEY]

16. Well she was skinny like a few months ago

I mean, that's a lot of wieght to gain in such a short time period

[Efilroft Sul]

15. "Who's that eatin' that nasty food?"

[SlavesandBulldozers]

17. ha!

welcome to DU.

[Efilroft Sul]

19. Thanks, although I am a long-time lurker instead of a poster.

[johnnie]

18. Is that Latoya behind her?

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

20. She looks good to me... I don't get it.
