no its true with hispanic woman,,,i have to agreebut its because genes most of the time when that happens, so its probably in her genes. Yeah, she does look pretty bad, she is VERY heavyShes still beautiful and always will be, the only reason i would want her to loose weight is so she is healthier and lives a longer healthier life.

But alot of hispanic woman in general gain alot of weight as they get older..I'll love to see j-lo in 10 years
They do, and it is usually the result of diet, not genetics. BTW, it's "a lot" not "alot".
Exempting their diet, Hispanic women are no more prone to obesity than women of English ancestry. -

Well as big as her body is, and especially as big as her hands are I just assumed she has some kind of health issue causing the weight gain. I mean her hands are larger than most men's. I just thought she may have a gland issue or something. And I bet she does.

Geez,,unless all of ya'll can stand up to the scrutiny of being on TV for some 30 years or so, I wouldn't talk if were you. Each and every one of us has our own burden to bare. Think about how you looked throughout all the different phases of your lives and would you be brave enough to put yourself on TV during the difficult ones? Didn't think so,,it takes a very special heart to look beyond all that,and put yourself out there to do something you love. Something ya'll might want to look into.
Not that it matters, but she doesn't look like that anymore,,she's lost alot of weight.
I actually came to this message board after seeing her on a recent episode of Gilmore Girls to post about how wonderful she looks, and to say Bravo Liz. Not that she hasn't always been a beautiful woman, but I recognize the hard work she's putting into losing weight.

She obviously HAS. And for those who have never been fat, you have NO idea what an accomplishment THAT is, whether by diet, lapband, or gastric bypass! Here's a recent picture of Liz Torres:

Actually, very recently, she appears to have lost a ton of weight. There's another thread called "WOW!!" that mentions this. On Gilmore Girls this season she really looks great.
I haven't seen her most recently, but if that's true then good for her.

I have to say that we ALL looked or will look way better when it was 30 years ago, don't ya think? As someone who is almost 40 and wishes she still had her 18 year old body I understand a little of the weight gain thing. Liz is NOT a 19 year old teenager anymore. Maybe she did let herself go, but not it's obvious she's combatting that. So please don't be sad for her, just be sad for the lifestyle that some of us tend to lead when we're so busy we don't eat healthy or exercise right. It's all McDonald's fault! lol

I just came here for the same reason as the OP. She was quite5b4 an attractive woman in the episode The Boarder Patrol. I wouldn't say anything negative about her weight gain either.

I was watching that exact episode of All in the Family the other day! I noticed the receptionist's eyes and mouth looked very familiar. Then I thought..she looked like Miss Patty from Gilmore Girls a bit, but I doubt that's her. Then I saw the name Liz Torres at the end of the episode and I said: OMG!!! She was so beautiful. How does someone gain 400 pounds over 30 years? She looked like she was in her late 20s in that episode and her figure was perfect. It's sad, indeed.

I just saw her today in the off-Broadway play "It Must be Him". (Hers was the best performance, by the way.) She is definitely not as heavy as she is seen in those pics. She is currently of normal weight for a lady her age.
A lot of EVERYBODY regardless of ethnicity (Hispanic is not a race) gain weight as they age. Except maybe for my two Hispanic grandmothers and my Hispanic great aunt and uncle who actually lost weight as they aged and struggled to maintain a normal weight in their golden years.
