    I couldn't help but notice that the host seemed like she found it amusing as she spoke about it.

    LOVE IT!!! My biggest concern while trying to become more healthy is to embrace and love the body I am in each day as it changes. Thank you for sharing.

    Depends on what they are doing with it. Campaign to help women feel better about their image,ok that's great.
    Sales campaign, doesn't work, not for me anyway. I want to think I'm going to look more like that sexy lingerie model when I buy their expensive items.

    Meh, I don't like it. It seems to me they are saying if you are in shape, or thin then you aren't "regular". Maybe if they showed women of all body types.

    exactly! LOVE the idea, HATE the execution. regular women can be skinny & gorgeous or fat & ugly or skinny & ugly or fat & gorgeous. don't make pretty skinny people seem "not regular"

    but still, great idea. thanks for sharing.

    I find lingerie to be a waste. But if it makes you feel better about yourself, by all means, wear it.

    I didn't watch the video, but that's what I got from the pics... Is "overweight" the new "regular?"

    Glorifying obesity and alienating women with smaller body types. Really inspirational. Thanks Huff Post!

    I think it was focusing on what is left out. Bigger bodies aren't shown much while fit and thin is what is "ideal". Like a campaign showing same sex couples but leaves out straight because the point is to show the under privileged party. I think the name 'regular women" is misleading

    That seems to be the new thing now. When you think about it, people who take care of themselves are the minority. Hell, a lot of the times it is frowned upon. "You don't need to eat that, you are already thin", but they don't think that the reason you are thin is because you are eating "that" and not junk.

    Yeah, I understand the purpose, but they need a new title. And show a variety of women, not just bigger bodies.

    I dont think they are alienating thin women or glorifying plus sized women. They are merely showing what most if not all ad companies will not post. Considering there are so many obese people in the world and well not just obese but like the video stated" women with scars, ,lumps, bumps, stretch marks." Whatever. The women who have not been airbrushed or digitally touched up by a computer. Too each their own, but like I say no matter what age, size, and imperfection you should own it, love it, work it. :flowerforyou:


    @ the gym I see ur point about the title, but what I dont get is why people sound soooo bent out of shape about it.. My other point is yes overweight is unhealthy. That is not an argument. I was also getting at that whoever u are men and women at whatever body type love urself and be DAMNED with the haters. Soo to break it down for some. That means if u r skinny and get **** for it..**** everyone who has a problem with it. If u r bigger (plus size) and others have something negative to say then screw them too.

    I think calling any body type "normal" or "regular" is absolutely offensive. Am I some kind of unusual freak because I don't look like them? Whether they were thin women or fat women, it is wrong to lump them into the norm. All bodies are unique and beautiful.

    Then they should have titled the article "Un-airbrushed women with lumps and bumps in lingerie" and not "Regular women wearing lingerie" .

    You can be big and beautiful, but I don't think you can be big and healthy. Every woman should love their body regardless of size but at some point we have to admit that an unhealthy lifestyle is being pursued that is likely going to cause negative consequences down the line.

    it depends on what you define as "big". i'm healthy as a horse and well in my "healthy" bmi AND BF% and i have 42 inch hips. I wear a size 14. To MOST people, that's big. in reality, i just have some "child-bearing hips" on me.

    Great idea for video. Bad execution and title of the article.

    I think the term "regular" can be a bit degrading to those who are skinny. They should've just titled it overweight women/obese women in lingerie. Being obese might be common in the US these days, but it's not what we want to promote as being regular IMO.

    My main opinion is that I'd like to see regular people at healthier weights in lingerie, too. The people in lingerie magazines these days are photo-shopped to look at the very low end of being at a healthy weight, or even underweight. I'd even just love to see a change to people at the higher end of healthy weights. Like someone on the left vs the person on the right, which is much of the modeling industry as of now: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/05/article-2319827-19A2EF3D000005DC-735_634x833.jpg
    That'd be a start.

    this. (unless you are taking a series of special pics)

    it may stay on for 2-3 minutes (if that).

    naked: a) it's free and 2) it always, always, always works (for me, anyway).

    I'm still "over weight" and I feel the same way. I am sorry but that is not normal those photos are obese.

    Obese women absolutely have the right to feel beautiful, but calling their size normal and glamorizing it is a really questionable practice.

    Exactly this. The implication that their size is 'regular' bugs me a lot.
