Weighed on air!

"To start, we're going to need to get every contestant's height and weight." Marlene explained. "We'll get your BMI and from there, we'll see how much weight you loose."

She started walking, the contestants all following with Lauren trailing reluctantly behind. They entered into the next room, which had a large set with a scale on it, a screen by the scale to show the weight extra large to be clear to the audience. Marlene helped the contestants as they all got weighed and measured. Once again, Lauren was saved for last. Then she too was ushered forward. On shaky bare pale legs she stepped up to the stage, Marlene accompanying her. First Marlene led her to get measured.

"Let's see... 4 feet, 11 inches." Marlene said. Then she led Lauren to the scale. Lauren pulled away as though it was going to bit her, but Marlene pushed her up onto the pad. A digital display appeared with Lauren's weight.

135!

Lauren's jaw dropped. After all she'd been through, she'd put on five more pounds! And everyone would know! She covered her face in shame.

"Lauren, this puts your BMI at 28." Marlene explained. "Though you're lighter than most of the contestants, you're also by far the shortest. This makes you overweight, at high risk for diabetes. You're actually just a couple pounds shy of obese."

Lauren covered her face, totally humiliated.

"Yeah, and we can see where all that weight is!" Rebecca joked. Lauren, onstage and facing the scale, had her ass pointed out at the crowd, and everyone could tell how huge it was!
