I am writing to you b/c I am a 28 year old girl struggling with both her health and her weight. I have had health problems since I was 5 and there are some days that I am in so much pain that I don't leave the house.Like a lot of girls I dreamed of being a model like you. Unfortunately they found out I was growth hormone deficient really late in life so I was lucky to get to 5'2". Last September my endometriosis had gotten so bad I had been in the bed for 6 months, and I finally had to give up on my new dream of having kids and have a hysterectomy. That put forty extra ounds on me and I was one of those people who ate everything they wanted without gaining weight. SO now I am struggling and trying to lose the weight. I am finally losing some of it with the help of my doctors but it is so hard to look in the mirror and hate myself. I hate what I look like and even who I am inside b/c I am so sick and I can't even work a regular job so I may never find a guy that wants me. I am in counseling now b/c it's been almost 2 years since I was raped and I was a virgin and I am still suffering from the loss of the fact I won't have children. If anyone out there needs a makeover to make them feel better it's me Tyra, please help me to atleast see something I like in the mirror.

Hi Tyra! First of all I want to say EVERY GIRL/WOMEN DESERVES A MAKEOVER EVERY NOW AND THEN IN THEIR LIFE AS A SELF TREAT!! But since we can only consider one person I will have to talk about me. I am a married 22year mother of soon to be 2 yr old and a 2 month old. My fashion sense has always been comfortable but wearable. Growing up lets put it this way I was the little tomboy who grew into a girl, ha ha. Nowadays, it seems like I just wear the same thing everyday. Personally it hurts me on the inside because I feel like my husband deserves better. I have looked at all his past girlfriends and they are all skinny girls, then I look at myself and I am just thinking "What the hell was he thinking?" HE tells me I am perfect and I believe him it's just me I don't believe myself and it's also that I want to be pretty and skinny like the past girls. I think it is a self esteem issue. Recently, I have decided to do Weight Watchers and still have yet to go to my first meeting. Just this makeover would mean the world to me.

Hey Tyra,
I watch your show everyday. My name is Melissa. I am 18 years old, with two kids. 18 months and 2 months old. I have been with my boyfriend, the father of my kids for 4 years and I really want this make-over because I want to feel young and beautiful. I've never known how to put on makeup, do any hairstyles, or dress fashionably. I just think that by doing this, it will boost my confidence and probably get my boyfriend to compliment me at least once. Thanks so much Tyra.

I'm willing to work hard to make it. I just want people to believe in me like I believe in myself. Is there anyway you can help me? Please help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Tyra, I watch your show a lot, Just love ANTM, every wednesday night. this is my problem need to know what to do. I had some loose teeth, well I had them removed and decided to go with a denture implant. after getting the screws in my gum, and wait for 3 months, I went back to have the denture implant in. well it was ti big did not fi, and the dentist pulled two more of my teeth for no reason, just trying to get the denture to fit, then he kept saying I just don't know what went wrong, Iam in the dentist chair thinking I have to go to work the next day with no teeth in my top mouth. He push ,pulled nothein work. I was sent home looking like a beaver with big teeth. I cryed, my daughter cry all the way home. my daughter would not come near me for how I looked. my husband states something has be done about this. The next day he called and asked if I would come in. I went in, and was told he would do the dentures over, that was fine and I would not have to pay. Then he states he may have to pull allof the bottom teeth. I looked at him and said if you pull my bottom teeth how am I to chew my food. I am paying him, and this is what he say. well you are going to loose them anyway witha bad attuided, and was just snapping at me for no reason. I wanted to cry but I was alwasys told by my grandmother to be strong no matter how someone try to tair you down, hold your head up and keep walking. My feelings was hurt, after all I have gone through. I let him take the mold to be fitted for another denture. He then try to take some off the one that was sent to fit so that my mouth would closed. He worked with it for a long time, but I could have see that he was mad, upset and taking it out on me for nothing. My lips have neve been pull so many times as it did with him trying to make it fit. Well he got it to look a litter better that I can go to work until the other one comes in. After I got home discussing the problem with my husband, I could not go back after the way I was treated by the dentist. I seek another. I did went he looked at it and stated the work was just wrong and he did not understan what this dentist was doing. well to make a long story short. I need my teeeth clean, which the last one was to do but he never did that. So I had them clean also had a deep clean in order to save my bottom teeth. I had such a big dental bill, I am trying to pay this off before I can have any more work complete. I n the mean time I am still waering the dentures that are to big, my speech is not good and my position is case management. I am embarrassed to speak. I need help with a dentist that you konow can help me out. Thank You and keep up the good work.

Hi Tyra,
Hi, my name is Crystal, and I watch your show all the time and it inspires me so much, of what you can do for people. I have been ridiculed about my weight, how young I look, and that I am so fair skinned, that I sometimes get called powder. It hurts alot and my self-esteem is so low that I almost always go to bed and not looking forward to another day. I have also been dealing with acne problems and no matter what I do,nothing helps. I just want to be happy. please help me, it would mean alot.

hey tyra. my name is jennifer and i am 14 years old. My mom is always taking care of me and my younger sister julia. She has always been there for me and my family, she gives clothes off of her back and she gives anything away to make other people happy. but her clothes aren't that great. Sh says she doesnt have time to take care of herself because she is to busy..(taking care of us, my dad, working, taking us places, etc.) And she deserves to have a tailored by Tyra makeover.
We Love you Tyra! We watch your talk show and top model(even the re-runs) haha. :) but i hope you will get back with me and we would love to hear from you.
Thanks.

Tyra,
My name is Tina Offutt. I am a nineteen year old stay at home military girlfriend. The two girls i take care of are not mine. They are my significant others from a previous marriage. I have given up alot to be here for Him, and these babies. I love them very much, and i do not blame them for my condition.. I was molested by my grandfather for the first 13 years of my life..and i thought if i got fat he wouldnt want me anymore. Unfortunately..that wasnt the case. So now, here i am years later, and cant get the weight off. I totally gave up on myself, and i have nothing good to say about myself. Im a thick teenage girl, with no fashion sense and no clue where to go from here. I was bulimic and a cutter at some point in my past, and struggle daily because i hate the way i look so much. I want to change, but im at a loss as to how... please help!

Hello Tyra!! I don't have a sad story or anything like that unless you want to here about how have student loans and bills.lol But its okay that what I go to work for. But I really dont have extra money to by things or fix my self up. I work at a hospital in the emergancy room so I see alot of people. Im the first peron they see when they walk in. So I just want to look pretty when I greet them. I feel like I have potential with a little help. I use to be a pretty girl in school but I don't feel that way any more and I think alot of it has to do with my teeth. So please Tyra take me into consideration!!!Thanks

Dear Tyra,
My name is Sarah and I writing to you because I am very sad with who I am and how I look. I married my high school sweetheart and when I got pregnant, he left me. Then I met another man who seemed to be prince charming and when we got married things were great, I had another baby and ended up with baby blues. My husband was to busy to see it and everything went down hill from there. He became adictted to pain pills after he got injured and lost his job and he started making me feel like everything was my fault and finally I couldnt take it anymore and divorced him. I left him with 16.00 to my name and 2 kids. I have never felt pretty or good enough 4 myself let alone anyone else. I am choosing to stay single and I find myself getting more and more depressed. Tyra I really need a make over so that I can have my self esteem back and believe in myself again. I have two beautiful children and I love them so much that I only do things for them and I forget about me. I would give anything for this chance at getting strong again and finally getting my life and my pride back. I believe in faireytales (or atleast I use to) and I want to believe that I could be cinderella even if its just for a day, atleast I'll know that faireytales can come true. Thank you for your time and this opportunity to get this all out.

Hello Tyra, My name is Franky. Im 16 years old and I attend Framingham High School in Massachusetts. I have always had problems with trying to be more out going and not “Shy” but I have an eye for Fashion. My mother, who I love a lot and loves me the same is always there for me when I need her and is always trying to help me sometimes, but I don’t know what holds me back so much. I have a big problem with it in my life sometimes because I want to go to college and then pursue a career in Fashion Designing when I finish high school, and name my clothing line, “Just You”, but I don’t know if I have what I need to do that. Things like public speaking and trying to meet new people has ALWAYS been a big thing for me and I know Fashion Designers cannot have those kinds of fears in doing what they do. My biggest influence with the whole Fashion Industry is Ciara. I know she’s not a fashion designer but she’s 22 years old and modeling for RocaWear, which is one of my favorite clothing lines, and shes also young, which shows if she can do it, then I can too. My other favorite clothing lines are rapper, Eve’s Fetish Line, DKNY, Apple Bottoms, D&G, COACH, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, Michael Kors and the list go’s on. Ciara also has always had a major impact on me because of her life story, dancing, music and experiences in life. I want to believe that I can do the certain things that I love so much; with out having to fear a big crowd or having my fears stop me in my life. Tyra im just hoping you can reach out to me and help me as best you can or the best advice in the world! Thanks for listening Tyra
Sincerely, Franky
Hello Tyra my name is Franky. I’m 16 years old and I live with a really, really strong and hard working mother of 4 children. She works everyday except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, other than that; she’s working and we hardly get to see her. She’s always working because she feels if she stops working than the house will fall apart because of rent and everything else. I’ve always wanted to work a part time job after school to help her and myself for college but I can’t get a job because shes always working and I have to baby-sit my younger brother and sisters. Since she’s been working at her job she barley has time to fix her self up like she used to. Im her oldest my brother is the second oldest. He’s 9 my sister, the middle child is 7 and I have a 1 year old sister who is going to be 2 on the 23rd of April this year. Tyra my mother has been going through a lot of tough times and days; especially now where she doesn’t know where she stands with the father of my baby sister. She also feels like she doesn’t know where their relationship is going and it affects her Marjory, emotionally and physically. My mother used to LOVE dressing up weather it was going to the movies a meeting or family get together, but sometimes I wonder where it all went for her. I know sometimes she feels a bit uncomfortable because of her weight, but my saying is “Weight is beautiful!” SO WHAT! She recently cut her hair for a change in herself to see how it went. She liked it for a while but now I don’t know how she feels about it anymore, and I don’t want her to think there’s nothing for her to do about her beauty when really, she’s a beautiful person and of course mother also, inside and out. I loved when my mother would dress up and be able to love the way she looked at that time. She’s a very competitive person especially when it comes to having to be that way for her and especially her kids. There was a time when we had nothing and she’s fought for everything we have; such as where we live the things my brothers and sisters and I have, sometimes the things we’ve always wanted. My mom would love surprise makeover from you tyra, she has no idea I have written to you and she has always wanted me to write to you for a really long time. So if if you can please give my mother a makeover, Tyra she and I will very happy!
Thanks for listening Tyra!

Hi Tyra, I watch your show a lot, Just love ANTM, every wednesday night. this is my problem need to know what to do. I had some loose teeth, well I had them removed and decided to go with a denture implant. after getting the screws in my gum, and wait for 3 months, I went back to have the denture implant in. well it was ti big did not fi, and the dentist pulled two more of my teeth for no reason, just trying to get the denture to fit, then he kept saying I just don't know what went wrong, Iam in the dentist chair thinking I have to go to work the next day with no teeth in my top mouth. He push ,pulled nothein work. I was sent home looking like a beaver with big teeth. I cryed, my daughter cry all the way home. my daughter would not come near me for how I looked. my husband states something has be done about this. The next day he called and asked if I would come in. I went in, and was told he would do the dentures over, that was fine and I would not have to pay. Then he states he may have to pull allof the bottom teeth. I looked at him and said if you pull my bottom teeth how am I to chew my food. I am paying him, and this is what he say. well you are going to loose them anyway witha bad attuided, and was just snapping at me for no reason. I wanted to cry but I was alwasys told by my grandmother to be strong no matter how someone try to tair you down, hold your head up and keep walking. My feelings was hurt, after all I have gone through. I let him take the mold to be fitted for another denture. He then try to take some off the one that was sent to fit so that my mouth would closed. He worked with it for a long time, but I could have see that he was mad, upset and taking it out on me for nothing. My lips have neve been pull so many times as it did with him trying to make it fit. Well he got it to look a litter better that I can go to work until the other one comes in. After I got home discussing the problem with my husband, I could not go back after the way I was treated by the dentist. I seek another. I did went he looked at it and stated the work was just wrong and he did not understan what this dentist was doing. well to make a long story short. I need my teeeth clean, which the last one was to do but he never did that. So I had them clean also had a deep clean in order to save my bottom teeth. I had such a big dental bill, I am trying to pay this off before I can have any more work complete. I n the mean time I am still waering the dentures that are to big, my speech is not good and my position is case management. I am embarrassed to speak. I need help with a dentist that you konow can help me out. Thank You and keep up the good work.

Hi Tyra,
Hi, my name is Crystal, and I watch your show all the time and it inspires me so much, of what you can do for people. I have been ridiculed about my weight, how young I look, and that I am so fair skinned, that I sometimes get called powder. It hurts alot and my self-esteem is so low that I almost always go to bed and not looking forward to another day. I have also been dealing with acne problems and no matter what I do,nothing helps. I just want to be happy. please help me, it would mean alot.

hey tyra. my name is jennifer and i am 14 years old. My mom is always taking care of me and my younger sister julia. She has always been there for me and my family, she gives clothes off of her back and she gives anything away to make other people happy. but her clothes aren't that great. Sh says she doesnt have time to take care of herself because she is to busy..(taking care of us, my dad, working, taking us places, etc.) And she deserves to have a tailored by Tyra makeover.
Thanks. LOVE YA.We Love you Tyra! We watch your talk show and top model(even the re-runs) haha. :) but i hope you will get back with me and we would love to hear from you.

Tyra,
My name is Tina Offutt. I am a nineteen year old stay at home military girlfriend. The two girls i take care of are not mine. They are my significant others from a previous marriage. I have given up alot to be here for Him, and these babies. I love them very much, and i do not blame them for my condition.. I was molested by my grandfather for the first 13 years of my life..and i thought if i got fat he wouldnt want me anymore. Unfortunately..that wasnt the case. So now, here i am years later, and cant get the weight off. I totally gave up on myself, and i have nothing good to say about myself. Im a thick teenage girl, with no fashion sense and no clue where to go from here. I was bulimic and a cutter at some point in my past, and struggle daily because i hate the way i look so much. I want to change, but im at a loss as to how... please help!

Hello Tyra!! I don't have a sad story or anything like that unless you want to here about how have student loans and bills.lol But its okay that what I go to work for. But I really dont have extra money to by things or fix my self up. I work at a hospital in the emergancy room so I see alot of people. Im the first peron they see when they walk in. So I just want to look pretty when I greet them. I feel like I have potential with a little help. I use to be a pretty girl in school but I don't feel that way any more and I think alot of it has to do with my teeth. So please Tyra take me into consideration!!!Thanks

Dear Tyra,
My name is Sarah and I writing to you because I am very sad with who I am and how I look. I married my high school sweetheart and when I got pregnant, he left me. Then I met another man who seemed to be prince charming and when we got married things were great, I had another baby and ended up with baby blues. My husband was to busy to see it and everything went down hill from there. He became adictted to pain pills after he got injured and lost his job and he started making me feel like everything was my fault and finally I couldnt take it anymore and divorced him. I left him with 16.00 to my name and 2 kids. I have never felt pretty or good enough 4 myself let alone anyone else. I am choosing to stay single and I find myself getting more and more depressed. Tyra I really need a make over so that I can have my self esteem back and believe in myself again. I have two beautiful children and I love them so much that I only do things for them and I forget about me. I would give anything for this chance at getting strong again and finally getting my life and my pride back. I believe in faireytales (or atleast I use to) and I want to believe that I could be cinderella even if its just for a day, atleast I'll know that faireytales can come true. Thank you for your time and this opportunity to get this all out.

Hello Tyra, My name is Franky. Im 16 years old and I attend Framingham High School in Massachusetts. I have always had problems with trying to be more out going and not “Shy” but I have an eye for Fashion. My mother, who I love a lot and loves me the same is always there for me when I need her and is always trying to help me sometimes, but I don’t know what holds me back so much. I have a big problem with it in my life sometimes because I want to go to college and then pursue a career in Fashion Designing when I finish high school, and name my clothing line, “Just You”, but I don’t know if I have what I need to do that. Things like public speaking and trying to meet new people has ALWAYS been a big thing for me and I know Fashion Designers cannot have those kinds of fears in doing what they do. My biggest influence with the whole Fashion Industry is Ciara. I know she’s not a fashion designer but she’s 22 years old and modeling for RocaWear, which is one of my favorite clothing lines, and shes also young, which shows if she can do it, then I can too. My other favorite clothing lines are rapper, Eve’s Fetish Line, DKNY, Apple Bottoms, D&G, COACH, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, Michael Kors and the list go’s on. Ciara also has always had a major impact on me because of her life story, dancing, music and experiences in life. I want to believe that I can do the certain things that I love so much; with out having to fear a big crowd or having my fears stop me in my life. Tyra im just hoping you can reach out to me and help me as best you can or the best advice in the world! Thanks for listening Tyra
Sincerely, Franky
Hello Tyra my name is Franky. I’m 16 years old and I live with a really, really strong and hard working mother of 4 children. She works everyday except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, other than that; she’s working and we hardly get to see her. She’s always working because she feels if she stops working than the house will fall apart because of rent and everything else. I’ve always wanted to work a part time job after school to help her and myself for college but I can’t get a job because shes always working and I have to baby-sit my younger brother and sisters. Since she’s been working at her job she barley has time to fix her self up like she used to. Im her oldest my brother is the second oldest. He’s 9 my sister, the middle child is 7 and I have a 1 year old sister who is going to be 2 on the 23rd of April this year. Tyra my mother has been going through a lot of tough times and days; especially now where she doesn’t know where she stands with the father of my baby sister. She also feels like she doesn’t know where their relationship is going and it affects her Marjory, emotionally and physically. My mother used to LOVE dressing up weather it was going to the movies a meeting or family get together, but sometimes I wonder where it all went for her. I know sometimes she feels a bit uncomfortable because of her weight, but my saying is “Weight is beautiful!” SO WHAT! She recently cut her hair for a change in herself to see how it went. She liked it for a while but now I don’t know how she feels about it anymore, and I don’t want her to think there’s nothing for her to do about her beauty when really, she’s a beautiful person and of course mother also, inside and out. I loved when my mother would dress up and be able to love the way she looked at that time. She’s a very competitive person especially when it comes to having to be that way for her and especially her kids. There was a time when we had nothing and she’s fought for everything we have; such as where we live the things my brothers and sisters and I have, sometimes the things we’ve always wanted. My mom would love surprise makeover from you tyra, she has no idea I have written to you and she has always wanted me to write to you for a really long time. So if if you can please give my mother a makeover, Tyra she and I will very happy!
Thanks for listening Tyra!
