Connecting with Other Plus Exercisers

The summer crunch is so on! Every time I go to the gym, I feel like it has filled up with more and more people– but I’m having trouble finding my plus friends out there! As fun as it is to be working out, and working out well, I’m sad not to see anyone who’s larger than your average 12s.
Lacking a workout buddy due to my own busy schedule, I’m hunting for online sources for support. . . from women who are my size! Has anyone ever encountered a “strictly plus-size” site that focuses on exercise support and communities? I’d love recommendations, because sometimes going it alone can be lonely. After you make it over the hump, how do you keep going without a buddy? 
And for the exercise buffs out there, here’s my current routine: I’ve switched out of the weights routine at the gym, simply because I find it hard to concentrate and it has been so crowded lately! I’m doing free weights and stretches at home after I do my cardio routine, and I’ve definitely noticed that I’m free to experiment with exercises that I’m just too shy to try out in the gym. Ummm… and I won’t be doing any exercise with my special ball in public any time soon. Are those things available in extra-large for the plus plus size? Inquiring minds would love to know.
