Anyone read Bridget Jones' Diary?

I had scene snippets of the movie in commercials and magazines, I thought she would be more like 150+. In the book she actually starts out at 129 (1 lb. under my goal weight!). I loved the book though. I haven't seen any of the movies, so I'm wondering if Renee Zellweger is more than 129 in the movie, or does 129 look that heavy on camera?

I was just wondering if anyone thought Bridget would be heavier when they started reading the book.

Yep....I read it, and saw the movie (book was better, of course!) I suppose I actually didn't really think about her actual weight until you mentioned it, and when I did think about it I DO think that she (Renee) looks a lot bigger than 129 in the movie.


If you haven't read the book it is worth it- for the laugh at least. The next one 'Edge of Reason' wasn't as good...

Moderation IS Key!

I handn't really thought about the weight, although in the movie, I think she just looks average rather than overweight.
