Season 15 of The Biggest Loser was perhaps its most controversial season yet, due to the surprising weight loss and makeover of winner Rachel Frederickson. Originally weighing in at 260 pounds on the show, she was criticized for losing a whopping 155 pounds which ultimately won her the season 15 title. And, while she is still being scrutinized over her weight, this time it's for regaining some. Thursday, Us Weekly dished, "Nearly two months after she shocked viewers of NBC's weight loss competition with her 155-pound slimdown, [she] is 20 pounds heavier..."

After various personal setbacks in her life, Fredrickson decided to make a change towards self-improvement and living the life she'd always imagined. She revealed, "I was very hard on myself for some of the decisions I made. I'm ready to become that strong and confident girl again." Now, Fredrickson seems to be enjoying her newly acquired poundage, exclaiming, "I think I'm at my perfect weight!" She even admitted that she loosely counts calories and eats an Oreo or two.

Prior to winning on the show, the 24-year-old voiceover actress and former three-time state champion swimmer had turned down several different full scholarships, for love. According to NBC, rather than continuing her education in college, she pursued her love interest in a German foreign exchange student, and moved to Germany when she turned 18. "The relationship didn't last, her confidence faded, and Rachel gained more than 100 pounds over the next six years," said NBC.
