Hello all you FABULOUS ladies! Myself and others included have been a part of this group for the last three months. We have accomplished GREAT THINGS. We will be continuing for the summer months and hopefully into the fall. This session will run from Monday, June 5th - Sunday, August 27th.

We have weekly weigh-ins (some of us weigh-in less frequently), ongoing discussions about various topics and most important, we cheer each other on!

We would LOVE for you to join us. Please send me a message if you are interested:

    I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, because I'm not trying to be argumentative AT ALL, but I'm just wondering - why "women only"? Are there certain topics discussed that may be more sensitive or that members may feel less comfortable about in a more open group? I'm just genuinely curious :). I think any supportive group, where you find people you relate to is great!

    I was wondering this as well. Given the amount of TOM threads we have on the main forums, I don't see any need to exclude men, and I frankly find said exclusion to be a negative. I've learned a lot from men.
