ok why the hell is there a show on tv where the fat people dance i mean i dont mind the men dancing because they are covered up but i mean come on the women are out there in little mini outfits that a 0 sized model would wear i know me and my friends dont wanna see 500 pound grls dancing like that i mean no offence but its disgusting! and the host she needs to lose weight herself it just doesnt make any sence to have a "healthy" host with other "healthy" people because wen they look at her they need something to strive for. And why the hell do they have a** shown on tv i mean they bleep out the words on live television so why should we have a show that says it right there in broad daylight??

Judging by the profuse ads on Perez Hilton's website they must be aiming for a very tacky following.

I personally would not make the outfit choices of these lady.. Then again, if these women have confidence to wear that stuff, I don't see anything wrong. They are trying to lose weight and be healthy, but they can still have good self esteem. I would not dress like that( and that is my own personal choice), but every person is different. Why judge them? Oh, and 500 pound is a bit of an exaggeration and sounds kind of mean spirited. Don't watch if looking at women trying to be healthy disgusts you.

First off, these men and women are trying to make a change in their lives. Secondly, if they have the confidence to wear the outfits made for them, great. Who are you to judge what they wear and to knock them for how much they weigh? There is beauty in everyone from a size 0 to a 32. This show is about changing lives not pleasing those with closed minds.

OK, so maybe you're right about the word *** in the title, but come on, why can't heavier people be included in entertainment as well? It's reality!

I would highly suggest turning the channel or maybe taking a night class in basic spelling Everybody loves a hater - take your energy over to the Tori and Dean board and rag on them.

let me just tell you, because of people like you, makes people like us that are little overweight struggle to lose weight. comments like that make us feel like we cant loose the weight but thats cool because by the end of the show you will see those beautiful ladies will look whole lot better than you

this is true. ive spent my entire life being tesed by skinny bitches like you. this show is an inspiration for those of us who are overweight to lose it by doing something fun and its REALITY there are morepeople overweight than so skinny they look like a skeleton with skin.

I don't think this show is making heavy people stars, I think it's making fun of them by having them wear such ill fitting outfits. There is no need for someone who wears a size 18 to squeeze into a little two piece to prove she can dance.

I'm not sure why there is so much negativity here. People have so many irrational, hateful feelings for people that are obese.

This show is clearly about creating a positive environment for a group of people with legitimate motivation for losing weight. Instead of having a show that is centered around negativity (i.e. trainers yelling at and humiliating the contestants), they have created one that involves developing healthy eating habits that are sustainable (as opposed to crash dieting), positive reinforcement, joy, and celebration.

I'm sorry that so many of you can't get past the outfits - these people seem to be happy and comfortable in them. Obese people are completely and totally alienated, and maybe wearing fun outfits is part of the nonjudgmental, positive experience that can help attribute to healthy weight loss.

First off who says I cant wear something sexy and show skin just because I am not a size 0. People are so caught up in what the media thinks is how people should be and need to wake up to reality and see how people really are. I know many big women and men who look much better then some skinny people. There is nothing etched anywhere that says big people cant put something like that on.

And its as simple as turning the channel and you don’t have to watch it. Instead of complaining. You have the power to turn the channel. Otherwise don’t judge anyone else.

I think everyone should have the right to wear what they want. Of course there is a proper place to wear some things. Which some skinny people don’t get that clue either. Its a shame I have to turn my sons face the other way sometimes. He is 8. To me its not sexy or anything when its in public. Its trashy. Like I stated in another post at least I have option to turn the channel and not let him watch TV. but I cant keep him from seeing things in the outside world.

Someday maybe people will stop being so full of themselves and realize how much in the end it wont matter what a person looks like. It will be that we all work together and grow together so that our children have something to look forward to. In hopes that my son does not grow up and be so self centered and accept every person for who they are not how other people view them. One day people will wake up and see the real issues that face us and it is far beyond the size of a person.

1st None of those woman were 500lbs. All of them are young(the oldest 32yr and a mother). Part of being young is showing some skin, proudly. Okay, Mom's flab was alittle disturbing. However, provided She continues to lose fat and gain muscle and firmness, it will get better & tighter. I am over 300lbs and would never dream of wearing so little, but I am also 50, the same age as MJ ironically. I got to give it to these young people, they can bust a move! I sure can't move like that anymore!

I think the dancers on the show are great and I look up to them. I am over weight to and a mother and wife . Its not easy and along with the negitive words and looks I get from other people I also have to deal with the physical limits I have on myself from the weight. Its not easy to loose wieght. It not easy to stay so positive when there are so many negitives standing in front of us everyday. You realy think we like being this way no not at all I hate the way I feel and look. And I may feel sorry for myself but everyone has an addiction from cig. smoke, drugs, over working out, shopping ,drinking,sex what ever your addiction is we all have one. Mine is over eating. And this show and the people on it make me feel not alone in this and make me want to loose weight cause I see it happening real people who are heavy not tv heavy real people heavy with the same feeling I have and fears. Ill be watching every week and working out with you all. I want to be her alive for my kids and my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I have tried everything. I love this show Icried while I watched and I jumped up and down with joy when each and everyone of the dancers danced. YOU ALL GO GREAT JOB!!!!!!

You don't really understand this show. It is all about people finding a fun way to lose weight, and all you can focus on is how skimpy the women's clothing are? Do you think that's how they dress all the time?

Obviously, you are just as shallow as a kiddie pool. You care more about looks than personality, and that comes from your ridiculous post. If you don't like the skimpy outfits, why don't you change the channel and shut up?!?

Insulting those women and exaggerating about their weights truly shows that you don't have a brain. Did you even watch the show? I think not since you said the they weigh 500 lbs (when clearly they are all under 400 lbs).

Next time, I'd find REAL facts to back up what comes out of my mouth, you retard!

WOW, some heated differences in opinion going on here. For me, I grew bored with the dancing and fell asleep, but hey if it changes even a handful of people's lives and gives them hope --Great.

I don't watch this show but after reading here I had to tune in to see what
everyone was talking about..
I am one of those "skinny people" but having a plus size mom, all my life & now a son that is overweight
I have never thought nor said cruel things about heavy people.

I think the show chooses their wardrobe- and if I was serious about losing weight & went on this show for help- I would wear what they gave me.. So they may not have an option.
I have to say those contestants can MOVE! Dang! I am envious. I couldn't move like that if my life depended on it..

Lastly: When kids, that can be very cruel, pick on my son for his weight, I taught him to tell them::
"I can lose weight but your ignorance is gonna last forever!"

I wish all the dancers lasting success!!

DUH > > > then don't watch it. Why do they have a show called Top Model that encourages women to starve themselves and do unhealthy things to obtain unrealistic goals. Our young girls are setting standards for themselves that are unobtainable. I would much rather have my daughter have a role model of one of the contestants on this show than on Jane Dickson or Tyra Banks shows.

--AMEN

I'm really offended by the ignorance of the original post.

I'm GLAD that there's a show that features women with CURVES instead of just stick-thin girls. I'm soooo tired of only skinny girls dominating everything--REAL women come in a VARIETY of sizes and shapes, not just one! I think that there should be more diversity in body shapes in the media (TV, magazines, etc.). The idea that just one shape is beautiful is STUPID. Skinny people can be ugly, heavier people can be beautiful, and vice versa: beauty doesn't depend on body type alone; there are a lot of factors that go into it. And, I've also noticed that people who have no inner beauty are absolutely ugly to me, regardless of what the outside looks like. So, it's a combination of the inside *and* the outside that determines whether someone is beautiful or not--beauty is more complex than just size.
