the one who can't do push-ups cuz - I"M TOO FAT

the one who can't start running cuz - FAT GIRLS DON"T RUN

the one who hates the gym because she is the FAT GIRL

and to the ones who say "I can't" ...

It all begins with one step ... one tiny step...

For me that step led me here:

and even though that FAT GIRL SYNDROME came out and kept telling me "you can't do this, your still 250lbs!!" I pushed, and it led me to completing my very first WARRIOR DASH!!

So stop saying you can't! Stop telling yourself YOUR TOO FAT.. and start doing!!

    I was seriously worried about getting over the wall. Most of the smaller women have several men on their teams to boost and pull them over- so I was like-I'm out :(

    Actually maybe that was Tough Mudder....

    I tried!! It was HARD.. my husband was at the bottom helping me... but that damn rope was so full of mud.. I just could not lift myself up to the second ledge! .. But I felt better, I was standing waiting for my husband to climb over and a group of 6 girls about 150lbs each just walked right around and didn't even try!

    Soooo love this thread! well done girls for kicking up dust and not defering life. hope you frame those pics!

    I chose to do the same 7 years ago now and found a riding school with a horse big enough to take my 227lbs so I could learn to ride! Best decision EVER! Fulfilled a lifelong dream and I own a pony (just big enough so I can't go over 200lbs) and have never looked back in fitness.

    Keep up the go get 'em attitude!

    P.S. Did you just run the Warrior Dash in Indiana yesterday? My husband and I just did our first WD there yesterday. It was a blast, and I'm so glad I did it! The mud hills were killer!
