shrink_together's Journal

This group was started in order for a group of friends to hold friendly, supportive weight loss competitions. You can feel free to join if you'd like; however, please understand that some members are pro-ana/pro-mia, eating disordered, disordered eaters, etc. If you want to hate against these people, there is no reason to join. We do not, and will not under any circumstances tolerate people encouraging others in their eating disordered behaviors. In other words, no tips, no tricks or how-tos to purge/severely starve easier. While this group is not solely about those ideas and beliefs it does embrace anyone who wants to be part of some friendly competition. We try to hold competitions regularly, but we also enjoy posting outside of these competitions, as well.

Likewise, we are also open to members attempting to reach different goal weights. Some members are not striving for a BMI lower than 18.5, which is the lowest BMI before being considered underweight. Instead, these members are hoping to have a healthy body that went from eating bad junk food to eating healthier options. If your thinspiration is a "plus-sized" model, that is fantastic; every person here will encourage you, support you, and care about you. We do not discriminate against people based on their weight. We do not discriminate, period.

We embrace everyone here! It's a safe-space.

WHEN YOU JOIN: Please provide an introduction to the Community. This group is active, and we are extremely supportive. We do not want people to join to lurk. There are plenty of fantastic communities you can join and get tons of posts every day about things involving weight loss, eating disorders, recovery, etc. However, we play an active role in our weight loss, and we would like members who care to post comments and post updates. Honestly, we care a lot about how everyone is doing. We want members who will encourage and join this small family on the net. :)
