    No big deal on the grammar troll... I'm not worried, I may have screwed up my grammar, but I did it in style!

    your = possessive
    you're = you are

    You're not perfect...until you are, judgement of others is not allowed..so take your negativity and go elsewhere, please... Thank you.

    OP..you did GREAT... you may have inspired me to do a warrior dash.. I have been thinking about it...you DID IT!!!

    *judgment

    :tongue:

    Congrats, OP! No idea what a warrior dash is, but it looks fun and very challenging.

    Way to go! That looks like so much fun!

    I'm the fat girl in my belly dance troupe. I started taking classes 4 years ago to get over body image issues (which I've had since I was a teenager and 100 lbs lighter than I am now) and now teach as well.

    It's not only awesome to have thin women come up and tell me they would never have the guts to get up and do what I do, but it's also been amazing to inspire other heavy women to take classes.

    At least you can rest comfortably knowing that if you had misspelled it, someone would have been kind enough to correct you.

    The you're/your thing bugs me a little, but not enough to be like that on this thread. Cause this an awesome thread, and I love the OP's pictures. Your accomplishment is most excellent, and I want to do a warrior dash so bad! And ... tough mudder. I've had a lot of "I can't" and "I'll never" moments in my fitness journey....

    Anyway, great story. :)

    Every time I go to a new cardio class there is a moment before I walk in the door and the thoughts running through my head are:
    Will I be the only fat girl? Will I be able to do it/keep up with the class ?

    But I have made myself do it. I've been doing Zumba, Yoga, Water Aerobics, and as of today I did a really hard cardio class called PiYo strength. It's tough cardio with some pilates and yoga mixed in, but boy oh boy do you get your heart rate up and SWEAT. I'm so glad I made myself do it.
