Floor collapses at Weight Watchers meeting

A floor collapsed beneath a group of about 20 members of Weight Watchers as they gathered to compare how many pounds they had shed over Christmas.

Members of the weight-loss club were lining up to compare readings on the scales when they heard a bang as the floor came away from the walls of their meeting room in Växjö in southern Sweden...

No one was injured in the incident, the cause of which is being investigated.

  1. The woman in that photo looks like she has a metabolic disorder of some sort. Probably not someone who would be going to Weight Watchers to lose the weight.

  2. You are correct. She did look like she had perhaps a lipodystrophy. I had just grabbed the first photo in my files I could find.

    Photo changed.

  3. If the photo isn't of the place where this incident happened, what's the point of posting a picture of a fat person? Just in case we forgot what one looked like?

    It's not necessary and it's not cool. I expect better from this blog.

  4. Gee, I'd say the same about the new photo!

    I agree with Anonymous; I don't think we really need a photo. Frankly, I'm not sure we need the story, either.
