The first rule of Fat Club is you don't talk about Fat Club... The reason this group exists is because we, like many people, have struggled with our weight all our lives. We don't need fad diets, we don't need to throw money away at the gym, or pay for exercise classes that we hate going to. We need friends who support us and kick us in the rear end when we need it. Any exercise will do, walking, running, lifting weights, yoga, rhythmic gymnastics, or break dancing... if you are moving and havin …

Sometimes, those strangers become friends. Children are drawn to hooping, and the child inside all of us craves …
