Sweet Potato Pie is a health and fitness blog for African-American Women. With 50% - 60% (80% for Black women over 40) of us classified as overweight or obese it is high time we did something about it. It is long past crisis stage and the primary purpose of this blog is to act as a community for African-American women who are seeking to take control of their lives and get fit and healthy. Losing weight is hard. And it is even harder if you're going it alone. Studies show Black women, more then any other group, need strong group support if they are going to be successful in their weight loss efforts. Sweet Potato Pie wants to act as that support and be a place for women to talk about their exercise triumphs, failures, fears, successes and to flat out whine as they work to achieve their weight loss goals and ultimately a healthier lifestyle.
