    Nah, it's short for "Bikini Body Guide", an exercise program from someone named Kayla Itsines. I'm often tempted to reply to "BBG" threads by asking if they meant "Big Beautiful Girls". But that would be uncharitable.

    This makes me wonder how many messages you receive on a daily basis.

    What on earth is a bbw?

    its a term men use for larger women they find attractive ...it means big beautful woman. i have been referred to as that throughout my adult life (tho not on a fitness site. i am here to change that, but it feels like i'm on a dating site

    I was so confused. I was under the impression that BBW means big black woman. I was wondering what category you must have been viewing. Lol Even as big beautoful woman, i still dont see it. Dont really look for it either, tho.

    When I get inappropriate messages, I tell them I'm here to use this as a fitness site (I know, big shocker huh?) Try PoF... it's free and it is a dating site. That usually gets people a little pissed, but gets my point across. And I, too, am a BBW... for now...

    This isn't a dating site, this is a fitness site. I've heard posting progress photos in the selfie thread helps establish fitness related goals. This might help reinforce the fitness aspect to other members.

    yeah. i used pof in my dating years and yep. it's how this feels already. no one has been totally gross yet...lol.... i've already met some nice people, both men and women. i'm recently separated and really am here to get myself back in good health after a long 3 years in what many would consider an abusive marriage. as is the case with most people of any gender mild flirting is fun, but some people don't know where that line is. i'm here to change that bbw status as well. best of luck to you.

    i posted this to see if any other women were having the same feeling. i just made my account and bam....inbox full of messages not EVEN REMOTELY related to weight loss or fitness. i found it partly amusing, partly confusing

    Good luck to you too!! I do enjoy coming to Chit Chat to have some fun conversations, some fitness related, some not. But posting here, unfortunately, is where I think most people that message me will find me and just randomly start talking. I'm all for making friends and encouraging people during their journey, but people need to keep their dirty talk to themselves.

    I've not been picked up on yet. I thought my progress photos wearing my winter sweaters and long pants were all kinds of sexy.

    yeah. i don't have any progress pics bc i have only lost 4 pounds. i also will likely be sporting some all over body covering when i do post...lol.... my profile pic means something to me, which is why i selected it. it's photo of me waking up after accidentally falling asleep...waking to a flash of light....and that pretty much sums up what brought me here

    I am certain women receive many more messages than men on MFP. I would be very liberal about using the block feature if you receive inappropriate messages immediately, or tell them to go to tinder if they are looking for lust on a fitness site.

    I won't block everyone. Some people are really just clueless, and they shouldn't be blocked because of their ignorance. Now if they continue to bug me after I told them I'm here for fitness stuff, then I'll block them.
