posted Floor collapses at Swedish Weight Watchers clinic
The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Växjö in south central Sweden collapsed on Wednesday night beneath a group of about 20 participants in the diet programme. The Weight Watchers participants had gathered in the group’s facilities to see how much weight they had lost. As it turned out, however, people’s weight was not the only thing to fall. “We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls,” one of the participants told the Smålandsposten newspaper.
Then floor then started to give way in other parts of the room. Shortly thereafter, the smell of sewage began to waft up into the room.
"We're going to have to find a replacement premises," Weight Watchers consultant Therese Levin told the newspaper. But the Weight Watchers didn’t let the damaged floor stop the evening's weigh-in. When everything had calmed down, the participants instead moved the scales to a nearby corridor and set about seeing how many kilos they had shed. And this time the floor held. No one was injured in the incident, the cause of which is still under investigation

I agree Kalila. It takes someone quite stupid and ignorant to make remarks like that. I have been overweight and I know the stigma attached to it. People think overweight people are stupid or lazy or from overeating. Not true sometimes there are medical reasons for it. I admire anyone who is going to WW to try and lose weight. That's how I did it. Give an overweight person a break..they may become one of your best friends.

Aren't we all a little old to resort to name calling?
Some people are sensitive over their body issues... just because some individuals have no problems it doesn't mean that the next person doesn't.
I personally have no issues as I am what I am and I love me but I do know folk who could sit and cry when they look at themselves.
Respecting each other is a sure fire way of getting respect back if you ask me.

Fool and tameya do NOT make you fat; in fact fool would be a perfect food for someone wanting to lose weight ... lots of fibers, protein and minerals, little fat.
It's the kebda, kofta and other meaty, fatty stuff that is bad for your figure and your health, but no fool and tameya.
