What mailing lists are available for big folks?

Updated April 2007

Big Moms
Subscription address: big_moms_list-request@lists.carrotpatch.net
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.

Don't Tell Me What Size I Must B
Subscription address: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/donttellmewhatsizeimustb/join

Don't Tell Me What Size I Must B is an international online women's activist group, fighting the size discrimination that is prevalent in women's fashion and media. Members of mailing list receive fashion info for plus sizes, the latest on plus size stars, insight into latest research on obesity and friends from around the world!

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: the Fat-Acceptance Diabetes Support List

For people with diabetes, or people with friends, and/or family, who have diabetes who are joining together for friendship, encouragement, shared knowledge, discovery, and mutual support. This is NOT A DIET GROUP. Participants are all looking for a good, healthy way to control their diabetes.

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.

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 discuss issues openly.

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.
