    In my view, PLUS means a tall person with a good portion to fit their body (height/size). That does not mean obesity.These ladies will be ridiculed when performing in swimwear for example. They should NOT have to go through this.

    Most of you don’t understand that this is a very destructive life style.
    You think that I am negative, ask some of the doctors that I work around with, they will tell you.
    i know this one person who was suicidal and came to me for help because of that same condition,I refuse to help because for the last 10 i have being warning her about her eating habits, but never to adhere to my warning,now in college she can’t fit in,the young girls of her age group look down on her. This is serious,
    the amount of peoples that are suffering quietly is scary.We as a national need to do something about this problem.I do take into consideration those with hormonal imbalance,but except them, the rest should make a better effort to combat this poor food choice.A woman metabolism is much slower than a mans.And to much sucrose is being consumed in this country,
    FOOD FOR THOUGHT
    Ironically the same country that boast of it’s greenery and the most centenarians also join the rest of the Caribbean in hypertension sugar diabetic 1 and 2, now think again and please keep the government out of this one.(Blame yourself)

    but why should they disgrace theirselves in this manner. i am slim and i watch what i wear so badly, why should someone so big parade half naked?

I know people are not hypocrite, and wouldn’t pretend like they don’t what a sexy sleeping wear is made for!… HOWEVER! THE FACT THAT THIS SHOW IS CALLED PLUS SIZE AND ELEGANT… WALKING AROUND IN LINGERIE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE IS NOT ELEGANT IN MY BOOK! … CASE CLOSE! CHAPTER END! BOOK CLOSE!

    I think that it is a total disgrace to promote obesity. With the Prime Minister being very concerned about that very topic in Dominica and his plea for healthy eating, I am very surprised that this competition is a go. Why not have a competition like “Biggest Loser”? I know that the organizers have heard about it! Find fitness gurus and do hikes, swimming etc. The one that looses the most weight wins a huge prize-a airline ticket to somewhere, a monetary prize etc. etc.

    i am so disappointed y do u guys have all this negative things to say about these beautiful ladies?
    some of the sexy slim ladies r not healthy but when u c them pass u envy them but little do u know they r always by the pharmacy buying laxatives for after they finish eat all the fatty foods. i am very proud of u ladies it takes guts to be in any contest especially when u r faced with ignorant ppl. just go out there and enjoy ur selves. if GOD wanted only slim ppl he would not have created plus size women. u critics must visit the hospital or the health areas and find out who r the sick ppl even the workers that call in sick the most they r the slim ones. so back off sort

    I tired of those low minded Dominican how can we please our people wen they just sit and critize oh no, put yourself in those young ladies they are not old .
    my life started as a 7lbs baby growing up weighting 100 lbs ad a teen bring me to doctor I was way underweight eat everything I think I can eat to put an ounce on my body it never come I reach the age of 26 still weighting 120 so people trouble me I am sick doctor put me on everything to gain weight the only thing that make me gain weight was having a child at the age of 30 I started putting on heavy size the same people that trouble me still troubling me about my size oh I am to big lose weight the message am sending out not because you see someone is big they are suffering from sickness the thin people also suffer sickness from their size thickness don’t come by eating food you look at wat u are eating
    I am big and am eating poition size food eat my vegies and fruit and yet still the weight in not going down, the best thing I can say the ladies don’t have to please no one with their size please themselves and be true to themselves their best friend is their mirror wen you look at yourself in the mirror you find you are not comfortable you go with your mind.

  23. Word of Advice
    January 26, 2013

    ELEGANT? May I include the definition here for those who aren’t aware of it’s true meaning.
    1.tastefully fine or luxurious in dress, style, design, etc.
    2.
    gracefully refined and dignified, as in tastes, habits, or literary style
    3.
    graceful in form or movement: an elegant wave of the hand.

    MY POINT: There is nothing elegant about the way these ladies presents themselves on the stage and through the media. How they are portrayed, especially as plus size, only bringing down the level of standard. But maybe there is no standard. If you are organizing a show for plus size women, research well, present with high taste and make it worth people’s interest. Too much improvement needed, this more looks like a family reunion backyard show. Take my advice into consideration and make the plus size show worth watching. If you want to promote all body size, do it well.

    Good luck to all the beautiful ladies. No matter how you look people will still try to find a fault. I wonder if the ones that are making negative comments are perfect? The show is not about obesity; but demonstrating how beauty comes from anywhere no matter how u look. If they were skinny like the queen contestant people will still find a way to say something bad. Negative people on DNO please shut up…..ur life is not better and i bet you’re not that good looking.

    While the rest of the world is fighting it,we’re showing it off.But we forget being overweight is actually a medical concern because it can seriously affect a person’s health.
    When I look at these ladies i see hospital bill,I see
    High cholesterol and triglycerides
    Type 2 diabetes
    High blood pressure
    Metabolic syndrome — a combination of high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and high cholesterol
    Heart disease
    Stroke
    Cancer, including cancer of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, breast, colon, rectum and prostate
    Sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts
    Depression
    Gallbladder disease
    Gynecologic problems, such as infertility and irregular periods
    Erectile dysfunction and sexual health issues, due to deposits of fat blocking or narrowing the arteries to the genitals
    Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat builds up in the liver and can cause inflammation or scarring
    Osteoarthritis
    Skin problems, such as poor wound healing
    problems, it’s a long list of complications that follows peoples who allow themselves to get that big.

This is a more appropriate question…before making foolish statement like this,and by the way I have 17 years of experience in that sector.You may have to ask some of the lawmen personal in the police unit that were trained by and when on to compete in regional competitions and went on to win because of their fitness and athleticism
        the next time someone makes a statement like this you should ask from what perspective that are speaking from.I still maintain that this lifestyle is not a healthy lifestyle.

        you think that they are happy when they either can’t find shoes and cloths their size,or feeling suicidal, there nothing to be proud about following the latest statistic,their future is not so bright,the sad part is that they know it.

    Also I want to congratulate these beautiful ladies and the persons responsible for organizing this event to allow people to be beautiful in their skin. Beauty in not the size of your waist its the size of your heart.

      @Big Rich. I like what you said! Sooo funny! Let’s display their hearts instead of their waists then everybody will agree that they are truly beautiful. By the way, are the hearts supposed to be big or small?.

      Oh, and to all the ‘Beautiful in their skin’ comments :-D. I agree people should be allowed to be beautiful in their skins; it would be a nightmare seeing them without skins. BE HONEST. suppot me and SAY ‘YEA!’ Yo taykay chenbay on soukouyan. :twisted: :lol:

      Technically, there are differences in bone structure, however, fat is fat. When folks say big boned they are referring to frame structure. For example, I’m fat but my fingers, wrists, and ankles are smaller than those of my friends who are skinny but have larger frames.

      But we have different body frames

    As long as we continue to accept unhealthy behaviour and the bodies that result from such behaviour, Dominicans will continue to refuse to get healthy. Any by the way, please don’t respond by telling me you can be fat and still be healthy. We all know that’s a load of poop!

      did you know that there are uncontrollable medical illnesses that contribute to weight gain. just to name a few: Cushing’s syndrome, Hypothyroidism, poly-cystic ovarian syndrome..not only do they contribute to weight gain but they also make it very difficult to lose weight..not saying that every obese individual is victim to these conditions but you should be a little more sensitive..

        You are so true some people don’t have the option to be small due to issues hormonal etc that are way beyond their control. I commend these women for simply feeling comfortable in teor skin to go thru this activity. I agree with you doctor you are so right.Ignorance is bliss for the folks who dont know better.
