Jennifer is looking for this one. And I submitted my own guess right off the bat, but I was wrong.
She asks:
Help! And hi.
But help first. 🙃
So I read a book a long time ago and it’s basically about an overweight woman and she ends up running a marathon and falling in love love it’s her trainer?????
The odds were against her but that’s all I can remember.
Any ideas?
Maryse: Hi Jennifer! Was it this one: Noah (5th Street)? Here’s my book review. I LOVED it!
Jennifer: No, that’s not it but I loved that one too!
Maryse: Okay… I’m on it!! 😃
Anyone have a guess?

Cindy A: Pretty sure it’s Gym or Chocolate? by Stuart Reardon
Kathy: I agree! This is one of my favorite books I recommend. Definitely this book!
Dana: Gym or Chocolate? by Jane Harvey-Berrick
Mony: Beautiful Player (Beautiful Bastard #3) by Christina Lauren – long shot
Suzanne: I’m pretty sure it’s Diary of a Fat Girl by Moira Mugweni. If I’m wrong, read this one – great read.
Ashley: Is it Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich?
Linda: Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich?
Niki: Oooh, I dunno what the right answer is, but I’m loving all these suggestions and adding them to my TBR list!
Amber: Not sure if it’s the right book, but Dear Dwayne with Love by Eliza Gordon.
Vikki: Weightless by Kandi Steiner!
Amber: I second Weightless!
Robin: My initial thought was also Noah. Maybe it’s Melt for You, by J.T. Geissinger? He trains her, but isn’t a trainer, he’s a rugby player.
Jennifer: THATS THE ONE! Yay Gym or Chocolate? Thank you!!
Maryse: YAY!! Another one solved, plus now we have a fun list of this similar trope!! 😀

BLURB
Career girl and radio host hotshot Cady Callahan has never met a chocolate she didn’t love. She has curves and doesn’t care.
She’s shocked when a raffle ticket bought to support a veterans charity means she’s won a year’s membership to Body Tech, an exclusive Manhattan gym, where all the top athletes train and all the A-list actors go to get in shape for their action roles. She’s also won a personal trainer in the shape of far too tantalizing Rick Roberts.
Rick is less impressed when Cady’s arrival leads to a media circus. The retired British rugby ace runs a serious training facility, and he definitely doesn’t have time for anyone who doesn’t want to work hard.
When curvy Cady challenges him to train her to run a marathon by the end of the year, it seems a solution to both their problems. If … when she drops out of training, his gym will go back to normal.
But Cady isn’t planning on losing the bet—she just wasn’t counting on any complications. And surly Rick is very complicated. And as tempting as the tastiest treat.

Hi! Really wanna find a book here that I remembered literally at 3am:)
It’s about a girl, I’m pretty sure she was overweight, and she owned a store for big girls to feel comfortable in their skin, I’m pretty sure it was lingerie kinda store, and two guys came in and they were both construction workers and her coworker liked one of the guys but beside the point my main character, who owns the store, fell in love with a nerdyish kinda guy and she ended up being like a werewolf and had to be tied up while she was in heat but managed to trick the guy into untying her and she tied him instead. ONG RHAT A LOT OF DEATAIL:0 anyways yeah if anyone can PLEASE FIND THE BOOK I THINK I READ IT ON WATTPAD
