Step inside California's Club Bounce and you'll witness the typical party atmosphere of any nightclub. Take a closer look though, and you'll see the majority of people shaking their groove things are overweight. That's because this is a club that caters to BBW (big beautiful women) and BHM (big handsome men).

With some researchers predicting that 75 percent of adults could be overweight by 2015, plus-sized nightclubs like Club Bounce may be giving the majority of our population what they want most -- acceptance. Body-image expert and author of "Love Your Body, Love Your Life," Sarah Maria, says this kind of acceptance can be very powerful. "The better people feel about themselves, the more willing they are to make healthy choices. Positive changes come from a feeling of power -- not inadequacy."

One patron, Vanessa Grey, told the Associated Press she agrees. "When you're out there trying to get your dance on at those other places, you get looks, the stares. But not here. Everything's accepted here."

Some have pre-wedding jitters, but Season 4 "The Biggest Loser" contestant Neil Tejwani had pre-wedding surgery instead. Going from 421 pounds to 210, 26-year-old Neil Tejwani literally lost half of himself while competing on the show in 2007. Soon after he popped the question to long-time girlfriend Stefani Nigro.

Impressively, Tejwani has maintained a healthy weight of 230 pounds by working out five days a week, bypassing white bread and drinking less soda. But losing all that weight left Tejwani with a bunch of excess skin. So last spring, he sought a final tuxedo-tweak in preparation for his October 24, 2009 wedding -- six-hours of plastic surgery. Tejwani's plastic surgeon removed 15 pounds of excess skin and fatty tissue for a serious shape transformation.

The former "Loser" looked sharp in a Wilke-Rodriguez tuxedo on one of the biggest days of his life. But dropping those additional 15 pounds does not mean calorie-counting is over. "We did however make sure to bank up a few extra calories for our big day, so we don't feel too guilty indulging a bit or enjoying the open bar!" Tejwani told PEOPLE magazine. Seems Tejwani is dedicated to a forever-healthy lifestyle, and he's got the body to show for it.

Keeping the weight off after "The Biggest Loser" is no guarantee, but former contestants like Erik Chopin are not giving up the fight.

I don't have time to do a cardio and a weight workout. Which one should I give up? – Kathleen Boyd, Stanford, Conn.

There are two myths we can bust here. The first: You have to spend hours a day to get in shape and lose weight. The second: You have to separate your strength training routine from your cardio routine. A type of workout known as circuit training allows you to work your heart and muscles at the same time while burning calories at warp-factor speed.

In a circuit training routine, you jump from one exercise to the next with no or just a few seconds rest in between sets. It's the perfect routine for people who are time-challenged or want to juice up their current exercise routines. Though it won't pack as much of a cardio punch as true aerobic activities like walking and jogging, or as much muscle shaping as slow and steady traditional weight training, doing two to three circuits a week will result in moderate strength gains and good cardiovascular benefits. A 20-minute, high-intensity circuit will burn off upwards of 250 calories, which is comparable to running an eight-minute mile. That's a great overall fitness package.

When the Wii Fit came out, I was among many who wondered, "Is this a fitness tool or a video game?" After buying the Nintendo system and trying a few of the games (and experiencing the soreness the day after), my opinion was that, yes, the Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus are definitely tools that can benefit fitness and facilitate weight loss.

Turns out I'm not alone. The UK Department of Health has decided to give the Nintendo Wii Fit Plus its approval, reports BBC News. This marks the first time the UK Department of Health has ever given a nod of approval to a computer game.

The biggest change consumers will notice is the addition of the Change4Life logo to the Wii Fit Plus. Change4Life is a campaign in the UK aiming to keep people from becoming overweight by encouraging them to exercise more and eat healthy.

One of the most challenging aspects of dieting is keeping the hunger pangs away. Here's a tip: If you fill up on fiber during the day, you have a less-likely chance of falling off the diet wagon throughout the day. Starting your morning with a high-fiber cereal is a start, but you can keep your fiber content up throughout the day without resorting to the usual suspects -- prunes, salad and oatmeal. For example, if prunes don't appeal to your palette, eat a pear. An average size pear packs five grams of fiber, compared to only three grams in one prune.

Here, AOL Health features eight more foods chock full of fiber, including edamame, that will give your meals variety and keep you satiated throughout the day.

Got sore muscles? One prevention tip is to stay in fantastic shape 100 percent of the time, but that's not reality for the masses. Instead, FitSugar offers both commonsense and exotic tips to keep the post-workout hurt at bay.

Did you know pre-workout java can allegedly reduce muscular pain later? Cherry juice is also a recovery powerhouse and works if you drink it before or after the gym. But don't undermine all those calories burned by drinking too much juice. Elite athletes swear by a post-workout ice bath, but who carries a key to an NFL locker room?

No doubt, following the 10 percent rule is one of the top tips to avoid delayed muscle onset soreness later.

If your weight, health and overall quality of life weren't reason enough to get active on a regular basis, here's another one that might get you off the couch: Working out can help you fight the flu this winter season. Well, that's according to a study on mice anyway. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that mice who regularly run on a treadmill experience flu symptoms that are far less severe than the symptoms suffered by their lazier counterparts. Even mice who only started exercising right before the flu had less severe symptoms, though the ones who were regular gym-rats (pardon the pun) had longer-lasting positive effects -- meaning their symptoms were diminished throughout the course of their illness, not just in the first few days.

The findings, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, suggest that exercise can really boost the immune system, and while it's not clear whether the results can be applied to humans as well, researchers are optimistic. And besides, it's already the general consensus that regular, moderate exercise helps improve your odds against illness.

Still, don't overdo it -- you can get too much of a good thing. According to Jeffrey A. Woods, a professor of kinesiology and community health at the University of Illinois, prolonged and intense exercise sessions can lead "to increased susceptibility to viral infection." His advice on navigating flu season? "I would recommend everyone get the annual influenza vaccination and the new H1N1 vaccination," he tells The New York Times.

The flu isn't the only thing that exercise is good for -- cardio is more effective than heart surgery.

Forget about confessing a midnight snack splurge to your closest girlfriend, or even to your support group. Now you can tweet your diet successes and failures to the whole world. Twitter's Tweet What You Eat (TWYE) is the latest dieting tool that combines information-age technology with accountability.

While the idea of a food journal is not new, sharing it with thousands of strangers is. Users basically log on to Twitter and tweet every morsel they consume throughout the day. "Recently tweaten" foods are then totaled for calories and reported, along with your weight, to everyone. With more than 8,000 followers to date, creator, Alex Ressi claims it is the easiest food diary you'll ever keep.

There is also an online forum that allows users to post questions, support and feedback. Some tweet about having no idea how much they were really eating until it was on the screen in front of them. One twitter rejoiced about losing eight pounds in the last two weeks; another confessed to eating McDonald's every day for two months.

We at That's Fit and AOL Health know you've got a lot going on in your lives besides staying in great shape, and we realize that more than just diet and exercise goes into feeling your best every day. That's why we're sharing some of the exciting reporting going on at AOL Health.

At That's Fit and AOL Health we certainly love yoga (for weight-loss, to improve sex and more!), but Dr. Oz gave us one more reason to harness our inner-yogis: Loosening your muscles through yoga may mean you're less likely to injure yourself in your other fitness activities. Find 24 more health tips from Dr. Oz.
