Getting fit can be bad for your health . . .
Fit not Fat . . . words that strike terror into Cassie's ample bosom. But she has no choice; she loses either her excess weight or her gall bladder. With the scalpel of Damocles hanging over her, she joins the gym for the first time in her life, and learns that health is the new religion.
Meanwhile Jane, the manager at the Fit Not Fat Health Club, has her work cut out. It's her task to win over the former staff, all of whom resent her appointment - sulky Siobhan, Jekyll-and-Hyde Jodie and gorgeous Garth. Workaholic Jane is beset by problems - does she have the stamina to win through?
It's a race against time for Jane to prove herself and Cassie to lose those pounds. But is there a price to pay for the single-minded pursuit of fitness? And why are we all so obsessed by health?
