Here is how this works:
Anyone who is trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle is welcome to join. You do have to have a journal but it does not have to be about weightloss or weight in general. Some people like to keep their journey private and personal and we respect that.
However, if you would like to become a SB member, you have to display one of our little buttons (tried to make them as small as possible as some people do not like buttons littering their web design!) or a text link on your website. It's a thing of solidarity and support for all of those on this journey to better health and better bodies.
That's it! Easy huh?
Ok you knew it couldn't be that easy. There are a few rules to follow...
1. No anorexic/bullemia promoting sites are allowed. This is not about being as skinny as you can get. This is about changing your life to be a better, healthier, happier you. Am I saying that those who have struggled with eating disorders can't join? Of course not, but if you are in any way promoting unhealthy eating habits such as starvation (500 cals a day or something) and your main goal is be as thin as you can with little regard to the health of your body you will not be allowed to join.
2. No mean websites. This includes racist or propagandic type websites that promote hate and violence.
3. No pornographic promoting sites. It's one thing to be "frank" in your diary. That's fine! It's another to just go all out XXX with pictures and crude language.
4. It is not required, but talking about your weightloss journey would be wonderful. How are you doing with the current challenge? What are your achievements and accomplishments. People are going to be visiting our Members page looking for inspiration and commonality. We want to show our support!
5. Save the buttons to your own computer and upload them to whatever host you use to link them on your site. Do not steal our bandwith please. It's not nice. If we find you stealing our bandwith and linking directly to our buttons, you will find a very hostile group of Skinny Bitches coming for you.
6. Save the buttons to your own computer. I can not stress this enough. How? Well I can only tell you how it is done on a PC but you put your mouse on the button you want, right click on your mouse and select "Save image as" from the menu. From there a little save dialogue box is open and you can decide what folder to save your very own SB button.
7. You must link back to us. Help spread the word around about this site. You obviously think we rock or you wouldn't have a button on your site in the first place right? So be nice and share!
8. You MUST email us once you have got your button (or text link) on your website so we can add you to the members list. You must have "SB Member" in the subject line. This is how the mail is filtered into a special folder. If you don't we might miss your email and not add you right away. If you do not wish to be added to the members list, email us anyway and tell us not to add you. We'd just like to keep track of who's an SB member so we can check up on you and see how you are doing.
9. There will be NO FLAMING or CRITICIZING of other members. We are a SUPPORT group people. If you don't like how someone is living their life, close your browser. If you think someone is in violation of the above rules, quietly email us about it. We all are here with the same common goal and objective. Play nice.
10. Have fun. This should be first and foremost.... (except that I just remembered to add it now). You only get one life and one body. Take care of it so it can take care of you.

***More buttons to come in the future. If you would like to create buttons for SB, email them to us with the subject line, "SB Buttons"
