Crystal Renn: Sports Illustrated Model Before and After Weight Loss

Crystal Renn used to be a plus-sized model. Crystal used to a size 16 but now her sizes range from 6 to an 8. Crystal is featured in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue, with Kate Upton and her barely there bikini on the cover.

Renn is not the thinnest model in Sports Illustrated. Luckily she doesn't mind.

"There's a woman at SI who's made it a point to make sure that the models are healthy. [Sports Illustrated] is not interested in who's the thinnest model of them all."

Crystal says that she's "been doing yoga for a while now" and she "felt comfortable" with her body when posing for the popular magazine. "I have found a place of stability when it comes to how to view my figure."

Naturally haters (overweight people) aren't pleased with Crystal. Haters are so predictable. Many models are naturally thin to begin with, then they do drugs or starve. To take off a lot of weight,  and keep it off, is no simple feat. Congrats to Crystal!
