Welcolme. I'm a 33-year-old black female currently living in NYC. Like some many women of color, I struggle with my weight. I obsess over it. I want to get from my current weight of 220, down to 130. Any women of color in a similar situation? I'm also open to chatting with "women of pallor."

    Hello, I am a 21 year old black female and I am not looking to get "thin" per say... but to get slimmer, toned, yet maintain a little extra fat within my healthy BMI range to have a little bit of curves.. I'm at the age where I'm dating a lot, so one of my motivations is staying attractive, and this whole "thick" trend seems to be in........and it seems like my body is naturally built that way...small waist, thick thighs..... so I want to maintain that silhouette, just slimmer and within healthy BMI range.

    I'm a woman of color but what does color have to do with weight loss. I hate these type of posts and that's from all races. Why comment then you say??... Because I can

    Yeah and this isn't the 1950s. We shouldn't refer to ourselves or others as people of "color" or "pallor" for that matter. :noway:

    If the post "any young white women looking to get thin" were up, it would get the same amount of hate.

    Yep, people are people and we all have the same goal here. All races lose weight the same way. I call Troll...

    I'm an old, white man who doesn't want to be thin - does that mean I can be offended and feel excluded x3?

    Fellow white people, stop inserting yourselves into spaces where you aren't wanted. If this woman wants to connect with other people she feels may relate to her experience better, that's her business. To comment on this just to express your offense because you don't feel included is just gross. White people, historically and to a large degree currently, dominate just about every space imaginable and have never not done so freely. When a person of color requests their own space not be intruded upon, show a little respect and don't intrude. For anyone who doesn't understand why this is not the same as a white woman doing this, start by looking up Jane Elliott.

    OP, forgive me. I just felt compelled to correct the misguided who've hijacked your thread.

    If the post "any young white women looking to get thin" were up, it would get the same amount of hate.

    But white women on this site are the default. Most threads are full of white women, are they not? Is it wrong to want to speak to, see, and connect with people who look like me without paging through 10 pages of content hoping another black woman might show up?

    You don't need a post to seek each other out because you are the default. If you post "looking for young women looking to get thin." Its very unlikely more than one or two non-white women would respond.

    Thanks ... I expected the response ... I only want to get healthy and improve my appearance ... I don't care if I'm called a racist, that doesn't faze me ... I just want a beautiful body, like women and men of all backgrounds. Enjoy your day!

    Meh, you are just looking for people you can relate to. Nothing wrong with that.
