On-line Mailing Lists and Groups

Big Moms
Subscription address: big_moms_list-request@butler.hpl.hp.com
Message body: SUBSCRIBE big_moms_list

The Big Moms mailing list is for discussion of anything regarding being a big mom -- social issues, fertility issues, gestational diabetes, doing activities with your kids, etc. This list is primarily for large moms, (be they tall or obese or both), large pregnant moms-to-be, and large women who want to be moms, although supportive folk that don't fit into neat categories are welcome. Note: This is not a diet-free list; be sure to use clear subject headers for any discussion of dieting/non-dieting issues.

Fat Acceptance
Subscription address: majordomo@world.std.com
Message body: SUBSCRIBE fat-acceptance-digest

General discussion list devoted to fat acceptance, run by NAAFA (but you do not need to be a NAAFA member to join). Mailing list based on being fat and healthy, BBWs, size-acceptance, and just about anything else you'd like to chat about.

Fat Diabetics
Subscription address: fa-diab.com/home.html

This group supports diabetics who support fat acceptance, the belief that intentional weight loss is unnecessary. The list is an area where diabetics can discuss their disease without fear of the "lose weight or die" that some diabetics and medical practitioners support. They welcome participants who are diabetics, hypoglycemics, family and friends of diabetics, diabetic professionals, or other people concerned with diabetes who support fat acceptance. Age, gender, weight, and so forth are of no concern.

NAAFA - National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance
Subscription address: majordomo@world.std.com
Message body: SUBSCRIBE naafa-members

Mailing list for NAAFA members. Your subscription may take a while to process because they will check your membership status before they add you to the list.

SizeWisePlus
Subscription address: sizewiseplus-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

This forum has been established for people of all sizes who want to keep themselves healthy and happy at any size . . . i.e, without obsessing about weight. Any topic related to size acceptance, health, mobility, and living life in a different than "normal" sized body is welcome. We're here to talk it out, understand, support, help each other, and learn. This is not a forum for the discussion of various weight loss methods. ABSOLUTELY NO WEIGHT LOSS DIET, SUPPLEMENTS, OR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY DISCUSSION ALLOWED. Take it somewhere else.

SizeWiseSuperSize
Subscription address: SizeWiseSS-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

This group is for the discussion of health and life issues of people who weigh 350 pounds and over and is an adults only list. This is NOT a diet support group - absolutely do not come here pushing your weight loss diet, supplement, or surgery. The larger a person is, the more likely it is for their health to be impacted by size. This is a fact ignored or denied by the size acceptance community in general. We don't have all the answers but we're here to openly discuss issues.

Sleep Apnea
Subscription address: sa-sleepapnea-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Message body: Leave blank

For size-accepting discussion of sleep apnea and related issues -- diagnosis, treatment, maintenance, and so on. All types of apnea will be considered on-topic. Weight loss as a treatment will be strongly discouraged.
