Support group for Christian women

amys31

Hi ladies:

If you are a Christian, love Jesus and are struggling with losing weight..eating right and exercising....or just want to be uplifted and supported on this journey.....lets start a group that we can encourage each other, share stories and bible verses...

I have struggled with weight,eating and all of the above my whole life..and I want to surrender that to the Lord and live a life that is full of joy and purpose.

I think involving prayer and God into every aspect of our life is important..He want to help us and wants us to know that we are FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made...

So who's with me???:smooched:

This thread is going to get locked, just to let you know. You're not supposed to talk religion on the boards.

Yeah what she said it completely stinks but you will get reprimanded for your post cause they consider God to be controversial. Wish it wasn't so cause I would totally join you.

It'll really get locked? That's sad. She's just looking for like-minded friends. Oh well you can still friend eachother and support eachother on your walls.

If you are on Facebook and start a group, invite me, I'll join.

Either that or I could start an Atheist, Pagan, or Devil Worshipping diet support group thread and we can see which pony crosses the locked thread finish line first?

It isn't "God" - it is all religions.

What a lovely attitude you have.

Maybe I should start a group for Jews and we can talk about how knowing Jesus was a false prophet gets us through our workouts every day and how inspired I get anticipating the coming of the REAL messiah?

But don't worry, you don't have to read the threads if you don't agree :flowerforyou:

We are merely informing the OP. We don't make the rules. Please don't get upset with people for pointing this out when we are just making the OP, and any other posters who haven't read the terms and conditions of this site, aware that this thread will be deleted. We're trying to help.

Alright, let's start a thread about like minded atheists and see how long it lasts. Rules are rules.

Dear Posters,

I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread, as well as offer a preview of some changes that will be debuted soon at MyFitnessPal. These changes are being made with the express purpose of allowing more leeway in terms of what users can freely post on the site.

The forum guidelines include this item:

13) Topics about politics, religion, atheism, or sexuality are not allowed and will be deleted. This includes posting images or signatures. Unfortunately, we have seen that topics about either of these subjects are highly likely to result in heated arguments and disputes. If you really wish to discuss any of these topics, please google political forums, religious forums, etc. - there are plenty of other places to express your views.

In the past, with only a small crew of volunteer moderators to help keep the dialogue on the site positive and supportive, Mike has reluctantly had to create a rule which disallows any posts about these potentially divisive topics. Mike would greatly prefer to allow all of these topics to be discussed on the site, but so far, we haven’t had the resources to moderate such topics in a manageable fashion. Often the tone of the original thread is harmless, but as the threads proceed, members participating in such topics have been subject to insults or attacks, feelings have gotten hurt, and in more instances than we would like, a moderator wasn’t able to step in quickly enough to prevent this from happening.

To help the situation and with the purpose of really letting conversation on the site blossom, two things are being done: the team is training more moderators, and the site will soon feature a new “Groups” feature.

With Groups, Members will be able to form their own groups and invite other members to join. Each group would have it’s own forum, and group forums would have much more leeway in the range of topics discussed. So, for example, you’ll absolutely be able to create a faith-based, or politically leaning support group and discuss the exact range of topics you’d like to discuss. Groups will be able to host a much more diverse and mature range of conversations, and because groups will be able to moderate themselves, we hope they’ll be much better at protecting some of our more targeted populations from unwanted hassle. We plan to heavily promote the existence of groups to all of our members, fostering strong participation and hopefully giving you exactly the community experience you are looking for on our site.

In the meantime, we appreciate your understanding. We’re committed to making MyFitnessPal a place where all members can communicate openly in a supportive, and positive environment that helps them to achieve their weight-loss and fitness goals.

At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.

With respect,

Oh and for the record if there are no moderators on, no action can be taken. I've just come on to the forums after commenting on my friends posts...I think I'm entitled to use MFP the same way everyone else is. We are volunteers, we have no set times which means sometimes reports are going to be waiting a while, please be patient.
