Queen Sized

If you guys doubt what her classmates are saying, then go oto her my space page and look at her photos, she is no innocent. She is posted under Alexandra Burris ( Allie B.)

First of all, I've been battling my weight since I was about 7 - and man did queen size hit home. The ridicule, the not being able to wear the nice clothes - having that one special friend. I wasn't witty and didn't have the comebacks maggie had. I am a mother of a 7 year old who has a hefty appetite just like her mom and dad. What really hit me was when Maggie came running home and headed straight to the refrigerator and opened up a gallon of ice cream and sat there and just ate and cried - her brother asked her what was wrong and Maggie would not respond, he then yelled for their mom she came running in and wanted to know what was wrong - Maggie's response was "It is all your fault, why did you let me get this big"....WOW!! how that has to hurt - and as a mom, that part made me realize I don't ever want to hear that from my daughter and that now is the time to teach my daughter the healthy habits of eating properly and getting exercise because she matters to me more than food. I see it in her now, when she's bored she's hungry, when she's upset, she's hungry - I see the pattern and I know I need to do something. I am 5-2 and 192 pounds and fast food was always a way of life when I was growing up. The lightest I ever was - was 155 in junior high and high school. I resolve to help my daughter and myself make better choices and to find the time to get some exercise in. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it. I've done Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach, Atkins, counted calories, diet pills, cleansing and you know what, they didn't work for me...they didn't work for me because I was not consistent - I wasn't lazy but when I saw some weight come off, something inside me didn't allow me to go further - I believe it was fear - but the only thing I fear now is getting diabetes and having my daughter develop it too. I'm ready to make that change and overcome the obstacles - one day at a time. I welcome fellow readers to keep in touch and join my mission to be healthy role model for our children....my daughter....God Bless and know that you have the power to accomplish anything you set your mind to....

This movie was horriable all she did was complain during the whole movie. Every one who I know said that same thing. I am an over weight woman. I am trying to lose weight. I do not complain as much as she does. That movie made it look like fat people complain all of the time. Another thing is why should the USA encourage people to stay fat? It's not healthy yes I understand it is your body but a person should want and try to do what is best for them. I know I know easier said than done. All fat people do not feel sorry for them selves.

I didnt get to watch this movie all the way through. I did get to see the first half of the movie. It was really good. Does anyone know when it will be on again? I would love to be able to see it all the way through.

Good Tv Show

Congrats to Maggie for being courageous enough to take a stand, and be recognized amidst the harsh criticism of bullies.

THIS MOVIE IN MI OPINION IS A MEASSAGE 2 THE "CHUNKY" ONES...JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A LITTLE LARGER THAN OTHERS DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU EAT ALOT OF YOU STUFF YOUR FACE EVERYTIME YOU SEE FOOD ...IT JUST MEANS U SHOULD WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND REMIND YOURSELF THAT YOUR JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS JUST NOT SHAPED THE SAME WAY...POWER TO THE PLUS...


SINCERLY,

B.B & T
BIG.BEAUTIFUL & THICK

this movei made me startputting my head up when i would walk the school hall ways

I really loved Hairspray and I was so looking forward to this movie. I am a plus size gal. Yet, this movie left a sick taste in my mouth. 1. I am a young woman and I have looked at schools and stereotyped and cliched people together and I am trying to stop that. This movie is all about cliches, and that is not something that still needs to be represented and stereotyped about high school. 2. There is no excuse to treat people the way Maggie does. She should know about struggles and really feel appreciation for those who helped her. 3. the "Popular" girl with so much power should have spoken up sooner. and 4. Maybe I am just lucky, but i have never experienced or seen anyone be publicly tortured and humiliated by their fellow classmates. The administration should have acted and done something. Now i realize this would have then completely destroyed the plot, but I believe Lifetime can make a better film that portrays plus size women and girls. Look at Hairspray, not by Lifetime but it portrays a plus size girl in a good way, not as a popular-hungry, greedy, selfish and mean person.

i loved this movie because im plus sized and i know what she was going through.

Does anyone know what the name of the song is that Nikki was dancing to with her friend at the party.

I think that the people who say they went to school with Allie Burris and are leaving mean comments here are just being petty and mean. I mean come on it's obvious to everyone that you people are still mad and are trying to "get back" at her for winning, which is extremely childish and cruel. I mean didn't you do enough **** to her when you were in high school?? Grow up, leave her alone, and get a life.

wats the song at the end of the movie

does anyone know where this movie was filmed.

I also went to school with Allie at Novi High. While I am glad this movie was inspirational to many, I hope everyone realizes the story this was based off of was completly different in real life. In real life, as many other posts have explained, Allie was the bully. She was probably the most hateful, meanest, malicious liar I will ever have the displeasure of meeting in my life. She was a huge druggie, very promiscuous, a theif and a bully. She picked fights with lots of people and was often suspended. In fact she was suspended all of homecoming week! She states that she dressed up as kid rock for spirit week when in fact she dressed up as a hooker for "what you want to be when you grow up day". She painted Novi as being a terrible place to live, when in fact it is one of the nicest citys and best schools. Maybe Novi High School should be getting news coverage on being rated as a “Best 100 High School” by U.S. News & World Reportits or its Robotics WORLD Championship or its 3 time State Champions Girls soccer team and not on the biggest bully in school history.

Great Film. Love Nikki Blonsky Both in Hairspray and in this film. I think that this movie will air on this weekend. Ckeck on TV Guide
