47. all you people who have a problem with these girls because you perceive them to be unhealthy - take a lesson: this is not about preaching the virtues of being morbidly obese. this is about not allowing yourself to be marginalized by society because of your weight. as someone who once would've fit into this photograph i can tell you that people treat you like absolute dirt when you are very heavy. the constant judgment, criticism, etc. make life unbearable at times. i applaud these ladies for taking a stand and saying they are not going to allow their weight to limit them.

the point is, no, these ladies may not be healthy, but that doesn't mean they need to be live in shame of their bodies. just because maybe someone SHOULDN'T be this overweight doesn't mean they should hate themselves. i challenge someone to find some way to criticize this picture and this expression of confidence that

1) does not change the subject and argue they shouldn't be so overweight and
2) is not based on a media-fed cultural understanding the women cannot be attractive if they are overweight.

48. Just what America's obesity epidemic needs: another glamorization of diabetes riak, potential heart disease, high blood pressure, and increased health-care costs.

While I do believe that everyone is beautiful in some way, I do not believe that I should be forced to think that this beauty is always on the outside. These women are physically un-well and will eventually pay the price for their weight problem.

Unless this show is helping these women attain more muscular, athletic, and healthy builds, it will not be advantageous to the population at large. And seeing how Mo'Nique has done so much to keep in shape, (round is a shape...) I suspect there will be more Crunch bars than crunches on the show.

51. This is as much exploitation of an unhealthy lifestyle as it would be if the girls were anorexic.
Talk about one extreme to another!
Monique is such a big phoney. She claims to empower women especially "big" women (no these girls are morbidly obese,not big) and she claims to be some kind of ladylike role model (Charm School) but she made it big in her sitcom playing a fat woman chasing an uninterested man (so much for the big woman role model) and her standup act is raunchy (so much for the ladylike role model). She just needs to choose one thing or another and stick with it. She wants to have her cake and eat it too (literally and figuratively).
These women DO NOT represent the average woman, they are fat and unhealthy looking.
Sexy? Hello, tell me how you can be clean "down there" when you are that big?
Yuck.

52. That's disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!! instead of promoting healthy eating, healthy living and exercise we are promoting laziness, the morbid obese, and clearing having Mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!! GO ON A DIET!!! YOUR NASTY!!!! Seriously, you ruined me by making me look at that horrendous photo.

53. Oh that's just GROSS!!!

Can't you move this down a few stories TMZ?

It's one thing to be a plus size model, and I agree with anothers comment - plus size is better looking than skelitons. But these women do not represent the plus size of today.

They represent the MULTIPLY SIZE!!!!

54. I bet most of you people calling Mo'Nique and the rest of those girls "fat cows" or whatever are probably lard asses yourselves. I think it's a nice pic.

55. And some of us are just happy size mediums!

56. if someone wants to gain an eating disorder, just read this site for a day! your fixation with body image is criminal - juging EVERYONE on their appearance, spuing forth the meanest comments imaginable in the name of humor like a bloodsport is absolutely terrible. It takes real courage to be a plus size lady these days, and while I am concerned about their health issues, it's the judgments on physical appearance that are the most daming and detrimental to all concerned. Why such hatred, Harvey?

57. Hey davi,

These ladies clean themselves "down there" the same way your mama does (if she does). Good ol' soapy hot water does the trick. Soap and h20 does not work any different on fat people than skinny people. What, too stupid to know that?

58. I believe we as citizens of the United States have different perceptions and are basically entitled to believe as we wish. I am pretty sure there is not one human being on this earth who's perfect. And anyone who actually believes they are perfect, suffers from delusions of grander!

59. There's a difference between being overweight and morbidly obese. These women are morbidly obese. There is no reason at all to be flaunting something so unhealthy. You can certainly be "big and beautiful", but don't try to put a positive spin on a weight that could potentially kill you. Nothing at all attractive, sexy or whatever about that.

60. I love how all the fat women come on here to support their fat peers. People, go on a diet already.
Being obese is neither HEALTHY nor BEAUTIFUL and no matter how many times you try to lie to yourselves, those two facts aren't going to change.
