    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. :)

    your = possessive
    you're = you are

    Saltatoria, I want to be you're friend. Said no one. Ever.

    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.

    "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." That is the difference between you're and your, but it didn't need to be said here.


    Big congratulations!!!! You inspired me, and I just started my C25K because I want to run a 5K. Keep up the great work! :D

    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!!


    LOVE THIS!!!:drinker: thank you for posting! and thats awesome.... good job!!! u rock! love it:flowerforyou:

    awesome!!!!! and sometimes.. with a lot of things.. the only "TRUE" failure Is NOT TRYING!!!! even if u did go to that class/zumba or any of em.. and u had to alter a few things as u go or not as fast.. your still there and your still doing it.. i love it.. that class sounds hard too! right on.. i do 'body pump' and zumba @ my gym now :bigsmile:

    Awesome! And I love the other posts of chasin' the dream, regardless of size! I joined a dance team and competed in a national competition and I was over 200 pounds. Music doesn't care about weight!

    Why not congratulate her instead of nitpicking her grammar and punctuation? I'm sure you're not perfect....

    To the OP, congrats. I think I may do a Warrior Dash or something similar when I hit my goal weight. You rock!

    Wow good job!! Maybe I should set myself a goal like a dash or 5k or something. Way to go, that is a HUGE accomplishment, you should be very proud of yourself. (But maybe stop calling yourself fat girl...you are MUCH more than that.)

    Bump for later...totally considering it.

    Congrats on the awesomeness! (I hope I spelled that correctly...I wouldn't want to offend anyone :wink: )

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

    :smile:

    LMBO.. no doubt.. what the heck !?!? haha

    So inspiring... this is just the kind of kick in the butt I need right now. I've been wanting to do a 5K in October, but keep telling myself I'm too fat to jog. Maybe I'm not after all?? :)
