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 already found 3 groups for black women. Ebony Fitness Team, Sistah's Doing It For Themselves & Natural Is The New Beauty. I might actually start one!:happy:0 -
If you made a group, I would definitely join! A great support system is key!0

You are RIGHT on! I "USED" to be one of those people - didn't like to sweat. Now, I don't feel like I've worked out UNLESS I sweat! I LOVE it! :-)0

Awesome job! Last summer I cut my hair short so I wouldn't have the issues with sweating. This year I go to the gym in the mornings in my hard rollers or I just deal. Please add me if you like!
Also, I belong to a FB group called Black Women Do Workout.0 -
Thanks for letting me see there are also some other black women that are trying to get support for this weight loss journey. I am kind of new to this site and want to feel some motivivation and get feedback from people so I have just been playing around with it and seeing if I can make some friends to help me out. New Years this year is like every other year when I tell myself its time to get heathier and make healthier choices as well as take some time for me. I am so busy taking care of others that i never seem to have time for myself so lets see if i can gain some balance in my life. I am looking forward to you ladies support and encouragement.0
