I went rollar skating last night. I am hoping to join in the spring. I have about 25 girlfriends in the leagues in 3 cities. One of them was president for the Norfolk league she recently died of cancer. If she can skate ANYONE can, she was already very ill when she joined but she got stronger from the practices. You will love it. It is great excerise. You want to see big girls? check out Baltimores teams. Those are some big girls.

What a tres cool idea! I'm glad you've decided to at least try out. And what a fun way to get exercise! I loved to rollerskate as a kid.

Hey, remember that Roller Derby episode on Laverne & Shirley? HA! What a throw back.

My Dad's friend asked if I wanted to join the women's football team. Maybe I'll get up enough courage to try out in the spring...

What an empowering idea!

Well I got my butt out to the skating rink today and I did pretty good! Not bad for not being on skates in 10 years! I sure am sore tonight though.

I got an email tonight about try outs. Jan 25th is coming up fast. I can't wait!!

Go to the official website of registered names. You can not have any name that someone already has but it will get you thinking up names fast. My girlfriend who was president of DOminion Roller Girls Of Norfolk had a great one : Traylor Crash, her name has been retired since her passing over the summer. That is what is so cool about it. Once you have a name it is yors for keeps, so think it out and make sure you like it. ! Goodluck!

Kinda late on this but do it! I am part of the Molly Roger Rollergirls and I love it. I am 260 lbs currently I even Jam from time to time. Yes thats right the bigger girls can jam to! I am one of the harddest hitting blockers on my team as well and no one on my team thinks it has anything to do with my weight either lol. So try it out. Roller derby is not the sport for everyone but its a lot of fun if you comit your self to it and being bigger doesnt mean you cant play trust me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
