Raven Symone gains weight, looks better at NAACP Theatre Awards 2011 - National African American Entertainment on Astini News

For the last few months, Raven Symone has appeared in television interviews and red carpet events showing off her new post-weight loss look.   And on occassion, it looked like she spent a little too much time on the Stairmaster, as certain pictures of Raven had her looking pretty gaunt.

Having been a successful actress on "That's So Raven" while appearing thicker than most of her Hollywood peers, Raven opted to shed the weight for 2011—despite having no problems with her old look.

"I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did," she told People magazine in January. "So, whatever."

But now, new pictures of Raven at the NAACP Theatre Awards 2011, where she accepted the Spirit Award, shows Symone looking a little thicker.  And strangely, a little more healthy, too.

To the left, check out some of Raven's most recent pictures, comparing her look in January to recent images of her in August.  You be the judge.

You can now catch Raven on the new series "State of Georgia."
