Formerly the Body for Life Women's MSN Group, Pinkdumbbells.com is a community for women who have decided to make healthy nutrition and fitness a regular part of their lives.

Somewhere between the newbie weight loss support forums and the hardcore competition and sport training sites there seemed to be a gap that left those of us who work out regularly and eat like hobbits (you know--first breakfast, second breakfast, first lunch, second lunch...) as a lifestyle instead of a diet in the virtual lurch.  Part of that gap was filled by a proliferation of fitness blogs at sites such as Blogger, Typepad, Livejournal, and Tripod, but there was no centralized hangout for women who knew their way around a gym but weren't involved professionally in the fitness industry.

Pink Dumbbells aims to become that place.  :)

There is absolutely NO SELLING or soliciting of any kind allowed.

A level of dignity and respect must be maintained at all times. Should a dispute arise, all members are expected to handle themselves in a respectable mature manner and not use any foul language or degrading comments. Any posts containing such discussion or disparagement of another member will be deleted, and the member handled accordingly. This is to be a safe place to ask questions, vent daily frustrations and to learn and grow. We can only have that by respecting other people's views, even if they differ from our own. Disagreement is expected, but respect must be maintained indefinitely.

It is important to evaluate your health before starting any fitness plan, please check with your doctor for approval before starting anything. We are not a medical site intended to diagnose, treat or inform on any medical issue. Any information or feedback you recieve online should always be discussed with your own physician before any action is taken.
