"Rachel Frederickson dropped 155 pounds to become the newest champion of NBC&amp;#039;s reality show The Biggest Loser on Tuesday, February 4, but her win came clouded with doubt. The 24 year old started her journey on the popular weight loss show at 260 pounds. At last night&amp;#039;s finale she weighed in at 105 to secure the victory and a check for $250,000. Despite her triumph, her transformation resulted in an online frenzy over her losing too much weight.   Frederickson&amp;#039;s 155-pound weight loss was practically 60 percent of her total weight, a number no finale winner has ever reached in 15 seasons of the show. Her number put her in the &amp;quot;underweight&amp;quot; category for her age and height of 5&amp;#039;4&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with a BMI of just 18. When she started the show she was a size 20 and is now a 0/2.   &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m at the maintenance point now, so I need to find some balance and make sure I work out and I eat healthy and make good choices 90 percent of the time,&amp;quot; she told the TODAY show after the finale. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not sure [I&amp;#039;ll maintain this weight], but I plan to try new exercises and just continue on this path and see where that takes me.&amp;quot;  Whatever Frederickson has to say, the trainers&amp;#039; faces said it all at the live finale unveiling last night. Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper looked stunned when she walked out, but their looks of shock seemed to convey more concern than amazement. &amp;quot;Oh my god, oh my god,&amp;quot; Michaels mouthed as she and Harper awkwardly gave a slow clap for the contestant.  The trainers weren&amp;#039;t the only ones who felt something was off. Nicole Michalik, a contestant from season 4 told Bustle: &amp;quot;I was shocked. It made me sad, and she looked sad.&amp;quot; Many fans of the show took to Twitter and Facebook to urge NBC to set a good example and condemn what many believe to be an unhealthy amount of weight lost. One fan tweeted, &amp;quot;I feel like NBC should issue a statement tomorrow [about] Rachel&amp;#039;s weight loss. This is unhealthy and creepy.&amp;quot; Another wrote, &amp;quot;So disappointed in Rachel. Just unbelievable how far she took her weight loss with so many young girls watching her every move.&amp;quot;  Do you think Rachel&amp;#039;s transformation was too extreme?
