"First she was too big. Then she was too small. Now, Biggest Loser winner Rachel Frederickson has found her happy medium. Nearly two months after she shocked viewers of NBC&amp;apos;s weight loss competition with her 155-pound slimdown, the 24-year-old voice actress is 20 pounds heavier -- and thrilled. In the new issue of Us Weekly, she opens up about life after The Biggest Loser, maintaining her health, and indulging in the occasional Oreo.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve gone up about 20 pounds,&amp;quot; the now-125-pound Frederickson tells Us. &amp;quot;I think I&amp;apos;m at my perfect weight!&amp;quot;\r\nFrederickson, a former athlete, received criticism back in February when she appeared on the season 15 finale of The Biggest Loser weighing just 105 pounds. She won the competition -- which is now casting its 16th season -- but many thought she had gone too far with her hours-long workouts and super-strict diet. These days, she&amp;apos;s a little more relaxed with her routine.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I work out an hour, six days a week. I love classes like SoulCycle,&amp;quot; she shares. &amp;quot;I also loosely count calories, but sometimes I might eat an Oreo. It&amp;apos;s not the end of the world.&amp;quot;\r\nAs for what keeps her motivated? &amp;quot;We have monthly calls with the other contestants and the show psychologist,&amp;quot; Frederickson explains to Us. &amp;quot;And our nutritionist is available 24/7. I&amp;apos;ll call her from the farmers&amp;apos; market and say, &amp;apos;What is this? How would I cook it?&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nFrederickson has come a long way from the 260-pound girl she was when she started the show, and she has no regrets about anything that&amp;apos;s happened since. Even the backlash was &amp;quot;a gift,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;It started a discussion about body image,&amp;quot; she tells Us. &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s huge.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
