Motivated by the lack of information about Black Women's Fitness issues, I am creating a Community for Black Women to voice their concerns and discuss issues related to physical health. I will share information about my experience. We all know that the Black Women's experience has its complexities. From the prevalence of diabetes and breast cancer in our community to not working out because we just paid $75 dollars to get our hair done, there are a ton of issues!

Weight Watchers Update:
This is week 3 of weight watchers for me. Weight Watchers has really helped me understand my eating habits. My weekend eating habits are the worst. I need to put more effort into making better choices on the weekends. My exercise has been really consistent. This past week I ran outside 3 times ( 4 miles) and I did 4 days in the gym on the treadmill, elliptical, and strength training. So I think my goal is still within reach ( 17 more lbs by Thanksgiving).
Don't forget I'm participating in "Lose For Good." So for every pound I lose Weight Watchers will donate a pound of food to two charitable organzations. It's a great cause and I'm happy to be a part of it!
Now for the Winners of the Weight Watchers Subscriptions:
*M. Braxton
* J. Cruse
Thanks everyone for your submissions! I wish I could have given everyone a subscription.

The No Pudge brownies are very good! I've started to see them pop up at my regular grocery stores (Publix/Kroger) in the organic/health section as well.
really? good, that makes me less cautious. I was reading that all you have to do is add yogurt...that should be interesting.
I finally starting posting my fitness tips thanks to you. It's more like, things that I've tried that work that I should just keep doing. I've done Weight Watchers before too. It's a good program so good luck with your journey and if you need any support don't be afraid to holla at me. I may be a stranger, but you know how WW is, I don't mind being support to someone who may need it. I actually kinda miss those group meetings lol.
