iVillage is hoping to develop some testimonial pages for different sections of the community, and are looking for testimonials as to why you participate on the boards that you do.


Of course, the reason why you're here is the fabulous women (and phenomenal leaders, LOL) but we want to know how the boards have helped you, what you value about board participation, and why you think the message boards work for you.


So simply post your testimonials here, and when the moderators have looked and set up the pages we will let you all know!!!


So come on, it's a great way to share the work about these fabulous boards, and hopefully the testimonial pages will help to get the word out about this fantastic community!!

I started coming to the Getting Fit in your 30's board a few months ago. I've visited several boards, but don't usually go back because there are so few new posts that you it doesn't seem worth while to check in more than once every few weeks. On this board I have noticed that almost every post gets several replies and the support is amazing. The women here are non-judgemental in their posts. The topics change and there is always something new to learn or share.

I appreciate the women on this board and the way the leaders keep new topics coming regularly.

Well I've been posting here for almost 3 years now! Obviously there is something about this place that keeps me coming back- the support, the wisdom, the encouragement, the friendliness; to name but a few of the attributes of our GREAT board!


When I came here I had just

How far do posts go back? Like if I search for gkonkler5 will I get all my posts ever?


I've been posting, I think, since 12/04. Seems longer but maybe not. This is probably the one thing I have done consistently ever regarding my health. I check the board almost every day. It helps me stay focused on my health so the consistency spills over and I actually do exercise and eat healthier since I started posting to this board.


I like the idea that there is not a specific "diet" set up for this board. It is a mixture of ideas that work for different people with different lifestyles and goals. It is great to be able to pick and choose the ideas that might work for you, particularly for someone like me who doesn't like to exercise and has a fairly busy life.


Our wonderful CLs go above and beyond the call of duty. I don't know how many times I've posted a question and to come back and find such a huge amount of info. Information that Miranda of IG had to actually take the time to look up and post. Wow! I have not once seen them here to promote there own agendas or any specific products. They keep this a fun and positive place to be.


All the regular members of the board are supportive and have such wide range of experience that you are bound to find something that works, some one who is in a similar situation, and people to inspire you. This is a very objective group of woman. They can let ya down easy and build you up strong!
