Career
Hunter began modelling when she was just 16 years old. At the time, she desperately tried to lose weight so she could get modelling jobs.
Hunter once revealed through an Instagram post that:
At age 15 I was told by 4 agencies that I needed to lose 3 inches off of my hips to be a model which would have put me at a size 00. I would desperately work out for hours and eat few calories per day, HOPING I could fit the bill. It wasn't until 18 years old, 3 years of insecurities brought on because I thought I wasn't good enough, that I wouldn't measure up! I realized that my body was not built to be that thin. Today, I'm so thankful I'm able to pursue my dream and still promote a healthy body image. He will fill the desires of your heart! Chains are broken! I see it in so many young girls these days who are striving to have a thigh gap, or for their hip bones to stick out, or to fit a size 0. Not everyone's body structure is made like that. Be the healthiest you, you can be. Be active, use the things God provided for you, focus on HIM and Embrace the body The Lord gave you! HE CREATED YOU IN HIS PERFECT IMAGE! You can't deny his sweet creations!
She eventually managed to lose some weight, but this weight loss still wasn't sufficient as she was turned away because of the wideness of her hips- something that she could not change. At that time, she was already a size 2 and weighed 114 lbs, but she was told that she had to be a size 00 for her to get any modelling gigs.
Being the go-getter that she is, Hunter worked harder and harder to reduce her weight. Soon, she realized that she was not changing.

After Hunter turned 18 years old, she consulted a nutritionist and changed her diet and exercise schedule. She then focused on getting her body to a healthier weight, hence the Hunter McGrady weight gain.
It was in the year 2012 that she started posing as a plus-size model. She finally accepted her body and was signed with Wilhelmina Models, who were looking for plus-size models at the time.
When she was signing with Wilhelmina Models, she was only 20 years old.
Throughout her career, Hunter has worked with famous brands such as Lucky Brand, Bare Necessities, Lane Bryant, Torrid, Nordstrom, Forever 21, and many more.
In 2017, she became the curviest model to star in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Being a plus-size woman, swimsuit shopping has never been fun or easy for me. As I'd rummage through the racks of swim at retail stores, I'd usually find only a few pieces that are size XL. Still, I'd head to the dressing room to try on pieces that I already know will be disappointing. I'd look in the mirror and the cute little bіkini that I've always wanted — the one that all my girlfriends wear — is barely covering my nіpples, let alone my brеasts. The straps are digging into my shoulders, already leaving red marks, and the bіkini bottom might as well be a tissue with a string attached. Every single time, I leave defeated. This is what it feels like to shop for swimwear when you're plus-size.

Hunter McGrady quotes
- Society is always trying to dictate what a woman's body should look like, and that's especially true when women become brides, We're told we have to lose weight, that our arms have to look a certain way, that we need to change everything about ourselves before we walk down the aisle.
- For me, being plus-sized, it was really hard to find any kind of wedding dress that I felt like myself in, I’m not ashamed of my body, and I wanted something that was really tight-fitting and shows off my curves.
- I made a vow with myself and my fiancé that I would not get stressed over this wedding—so I called bulls--t on the idea that I should lose weight for my wedding.
- One thing I want to remind you guys is that you are never going to make everyone happy. People will always want to change something about you which is so mortifying that anyone thinks they have a say about your body!"
- For anyone who has anything negative to say about a woman or man's body of any size--you are about to get extremely riled up because this movement is here to stay. I'll make sure of it. We're in Sports Illustrated ladies!
- You are beautiful in your skin. You are beautiful because of your size at every size!
- It’s so important to not compare yourself. You don’t need anybody to look up to you besides yourself.
- Beauty is not a size and I’m really happy that the industry is accepting body diversity.
- I use my Instagram a lot to promote body diversity because it’s a building platform and it’s continuing to grow. And just even posting on there unphotoshopped photos, photos of me where my cellulite is showing, where my stretch marks are showing, where I have rolls. And I think women, and girls, and teenagers see that and can relate and feel comfortable in their body to know I’m putting myself out there saying ‘I have these things too.'
- People lean on media, and that’s not a good way to live your life.
