A SWEDISH Weight Watchers group got a sign they might want to lay off the meatballs.
When a group of 20 members gathered in Vaxjo, south central Sweden for their regular weigh-in, the floor collapsed, the Smalandsposten newspaper reported.
“We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air,” a member told the paper, according to a translation on Swedish news website The Local.

But he said there was no room for error and he used 16 rolls on each shoe.
