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.

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.
