In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com Tanisha tells her tale of dietary woe, "My boyfriend and I wanted a steak so we said let's just try Mortons,” she says. “Our server was great, and the pastry chef came out to tell me they were a big fan.
"I ordered a salad, which I don't like by the way, and didn't eat it. Then they brought out the mac and cheese and the steak and it was delicious!"

But it seems the eyes and the ears of the food police are everywhere! "The marketing manager came over and said someone was on the phone for me, and I figured it was someone from their family,” Tanisha tells RadarOnline.com. “She put me on the phone and Harvey yelled 'You'd better be eating some damn salad not some damn steak!' I almost choked on my steak, I had steak sauce running down my face! I spit out my steak! It was instant horror!"

Every contestant on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club has a journey that has brought them to where they are and landed them on the show, and High School Musical star Kaycee Stroh is no different. RadarOnline.com has learned that the bubbly actress has always been typecast as the “chubby girl” and never had the typical “dancers body”, but it was a medical condition she incurred in 2004 that really catapulted her weight gain.

Kaycee underwent routine knee surgery in 2004 but was faced with an unexpected hurdle when she developed a blood clot in her left ankle and was sentenced to three months of bed rest. At only 5’3”, Kaycee had never weighed in at more than 200-pounds but after being sedentary for three months the dancer ended up tipping the scales at 210 pounds.

Despite being one of the most overweight contestants on the show, host Harvey Walden named Kaycee captain of her team on the season opener, noting her leadership and command of respect from her teammates. Kaycee occasionally moonlights as a spokesperson and plus size model for online clothing retailer Torrid; no telling if she’ll keep the gig once she’s done her stint on Fit Club and sheds the pounds.
