    I just started going natural a few weeks ago and I did the BC last week! I like having my TWA nice and breezy as I sweat! :)


    Anyone feel free to add me if any of you are looking for support! We are going to make 2012 WORK :)
    This is wonderful, but I guess I'm out of the loop. What it "BC" and "TWA"?

    LOL...BC is a big chop when we cut off our hair to go natural and TWA is the Teeny Weeny Afro we have after the BC. :-). I BC'd back in May...wearing braids right now.

    Ditto to all of the other posts on this forum. I've lost almost 80 lbs about 3 years with a relaxer and gained about 50 of it back :angry: (I know, it's a struggle). I've been natural for about 2 years so hair is no longer an issue. But I do agree that there is this myth, fear, misconception, whatever about black women and being healthy. I hate being looked upon as that "angry fat black woman" (that probably can sing) and want to break down those misconceptions.

    Please feel free to add me! I need as much support as I can get and would like to support you as well!

    Just saw this on the message board. Messages move so fast I guess that's why I missed it. Count me in. I have started the 30 Day Shred after seeing some of the great results in the Success Stories and Fitness discussions. I have done Supreme 90 Day and had great results then came the holidays and now I am getting back into the groove. Please anyone feel free to add me and I will be posting before and after results of the 30 Day Shred.

    Great post and so very TRUE!
    Hey Sistas! I'm so inspired by every woman on MFP but mostly..black women! The myth is that black women do not workout because we don't want to mess up our hair & many other reasons. While that may be true for some, we're choosing health over hair! Let's all come together & support each other! [if you don't mind having new friends] Black women are plagued by so many diseases. You lose more weight with support! :happy:

    I went natural so I can wash and go. Hair will not hold me down... Hypertension and diabetes are much greater concerns..


    Oh yes, a very big concern. I've even walked in the rain, some a work was surprise that a black women will walk in the rain because of the hair issue. Thats what blow dryer, flat iron, curling irons are made for. :laugh:
