Ahh... ya beat me to it. ;)

I am sorry but that is not 220 pounds. She may have an extra 20-40lbs, but she did not double in size. This thread is one of the worse I have seen on this board.



Paging Giantrobo to thread 5895290.

did you guys actually watch the show last season? the pic posted is not when she was at her largest. there was a time last season when she appeared bigger than Doug.

Stupid thread. :down:

I don't care how fat she is. And she's not fat! :rolleyes: I'd still hit it till the sun came up.

She may not be fat but sh'e no longer the skinny chick with the fat husband.

I don't think the basic premise of the show works now. Now it looks entirely possible for Doug Heffernen to be married to Carrie.

Of course I did not mean literally she doubled in size...however I do think she added about 40 lbs...35-45 is what I thought. You add 40 lbs to a girl that was about 105 and that is quite a difference.

What gets me is that they have basically skirted the issue on the show...how believable is that?

We are not dealing with reality. Don't confuse our expectations for this fictional couple with real life.

I don't think they have. I remember reading a synopsis about an upcoming episode (or maybe it's already aired) where she tries to do something about her small weight gain. And it is a small gain, she's still smoking hot.

They already aired it...but it has more to do with her age rather than her weight...her character thinks losing weight will make a difference....and it is not a small weight gain...she's probably gained about 1/3 of her weight...something like a 200 pound guy gaining 70 lbs.

They just recently had an episode where Doug "tricked" Carrie into losing weight.

He was displeased about her weight gain, but she was in denial about how fat she had gotten, so on the pretense that she was joining him in a diet/workout regimine, he got her to drop some pounds but of course he cheated the whole time.

I think that the show was reluctant to address the (obvious) change in her appearance, and didn't think they had to since she was pregnant last year and they ignored that.

But then once Leah Remini made it clear that she was going to lose the weight, they figured they could start working that into the show.
(Especially since it's just more contrast with Doug who won't lose weight.)

To all you people who are rolling your eyes at the subject of this thread:
SHE GOT FAT !!

Look at the pics of Leah Remini posted in this thread, or do a google image search on her, she was thin, sexy, and hot as a pizza oven.

You all must not watch the show --because after her pregnancy Leah was easily, i repeat easily 30 pounds heavier.
Now, it's not that big a deal because this is a sitcom and the show is not all about how sexy the Carrie charcater is...

But imagine if Jennifer Garner had come back for the new season of ALIAS 30 lbs heavier...

You think people wouldn't notice. You think people wouldn't be shocked and aghast. You think there wouldn't be a thread after every episode in which people bitch and moan about how horrible it was to watch Fat Sydney the Super Size Spy.

Fat Leah/Carrie looks a lot more like a normal average American woman.

If I wanted to see that, I'd go to the supermarket.

I'm watching TV!! I want to see the fantasy of Maxim pinup girls in love with fat dudes!!!

I think a lot of you people need to go to the supermarket, mall, Wal-Mart, etc. more often to remind yourself what a real woman looks like. Maxim is not full of real women. You are not going to marry a porn star. That actress did not get fat. She put on weight. It is not the same.

Time for a reality check.

If Jennifer Garner had had a baby, then I don't think there'd be anything wrong with this. Now if she just decided to gain 30lbs, then there's a problem there.

You have to understand that it took Leah Remini 9 months to gain the weight, and I don't think it's unreasonable to give her the same amount of time to lose it.

She's heavier, but she's not a house. And I'm sorry, she doesn't look like a normal average American woman. In the United States, the average adult woman weighs 163 lbs.

I still think she's funny and beautiful. Sue me.

Last time I checked...tv sitcoms were not the way to get a reality check. Oh and...it seems according to this and that institute...americans including women are on the whole overweight...give me the fantasy of sitcom.

anyone know how tall/short she is?

Personal attack removed.

You'd think a "DVD Talk Legend" would know better than resorting to personal attacks.

5'3"

So.... did Zack Morris bone Stacey Carosi, or was he too afraid of her dad? ;)

Straight men are never stupider than when they gather together to bash women who have had the nerve to become less sexy in their eyes.

!?!
 

She had a BABY!

Do you expect her to pop the kid out, lose all the extra weight acquired throughout the pregnancy just like that!? It's NOT possible to lose all the weight. Its unrealistic. Sure you lose some of it but not near all of it.

Like someone else said... it takes 9 months to gain the weight, give her the same amount of time to get back to "herself."

Trimspa baby...

p.s. she had her baby near nine/ten months ago.

Well, March 16th was 9 months. I guess whoever started this thread waiting almost exactly the right amount of time to start the thread. :)

Well, it depends on how far ahead the show is taped. Are we seeing her from a month ago, or a week ago?

good thinkin sailor moon.

shows are taped way in advance...

quick, somebody send her that Windsor Pilates DVD set. she'll be back to normal in no time.
