Today while I was jogging around my complex, I saw several looks while people drove by. You see, I am still a VERY big girl and I have lots of jiggly bits! As they were jiggling, I recited this mantra to myself- "You can't fix stupid, but I can fix fat!" lol. I have decided that I could care less what others think. I just wanted to share with everyone in case some other 250+ people out there are afraid to jiggle their bits... Jiggle away, cause one day soon, there will be much less to shake!
Peace and blessings!

    No one who takes fitness seriously

    seeing you take the bull by the horns

    thinks anything other than

    "GO, MOMMA! KILL IT!"

    When I see people bigger than me running I think "Wow, they are awesome. I have no excuse not to workout today". You should be really proud of yourself. They aren't running! you are! get em girl!

    I am jiggling my way to tiny..the sad thing is I am not sure that many big girls and guys read the posts in the fitness and exercise forum. I hope they do. I had to stop when my knees started hurting and then I just walked really fast. It felt AWESOME though.

    The older I get, the more I care less about what others think, and the more I care about what I think. Trite I know, but true. Keep up the good work, and be gentle to those knees.

    He's right...there is an older, heavyset woman who walks my country road. I first saw her in the summer...and I thought...good for you, get out there and do something. I just saw her out there last weekend in the freezing cold and I thought, DAMN! kill it! you go. And then I thought, I gotta get to the gym.

    screw the haters.

    Edit: I can't wait to see her next summer looking leaner...cause she wants it..it will happen. And then I'm going to talk to her! I'd do it now..but that would involve me being outside in the cold...brrr.

    Hopefully you are as inspiring to them as you are to me. If not, screw 'em. Do it anyway--for YOU!

    I'm sure you are changing the attitudes of alot of people. You are showing them that overweight people don't just sit on their arses. ;-) (Not that I think that - I don't.) Good for you!!! AND...I love your attitude!

    Thank you everyone! My goal is to run a 5k by next year if my knees will let me. If not there is always walking.

    I am proud of you!!!!
    5K is difficult! Just remember, even if you have to walk SOME of it....you STILL BEAT THE SOFA at home!
    I am working towards running a COMPLETE 5K...and I am determined to run UP Hospital Hill this year....without the need for O2!

    You can do it! I'm behind you, or beside you....either way, you will do it!
