    Wow, I remember those hills. I never got to properly explore them when I was living in CA. But out here in CO, they have more challenges for me. I want to get on them now more than ever thanks to your motivation. Sadly, I have to wait for the snow to melt and my knees to heel. But I will venture out sometime!

    Fantastic, well done!

    I'm a mountain walker of 16yrs and adore it but boy is it easier 28lbs lighter lol. I alos use walking poles as my glutes don't engage well so it gives my quads a helping hand!

    I would encourage anyone who has never felt the absolute feeling of calm and serenity ( I ALWAYS have a busy/noisy head in RL) which mountain walking brings, to give it a go. I haven't done anything else with my hols since 1997!

    I'm an over 300 girl myself and that is the most wonderful thing I have seen in a while!!! You just made my year! Thank you!!!!


    WOO HOO!!!! Thank you!!! And my hope is that I've, even in a small way, inspired my 300+ people to try to tackle something they didn't think they could do!!! We are capable of SO MUCH MORE than society would have us believe!!!

    Awesome photos and story! I also love your quote about getting out of your own way (seems we're pretty much always our own biggest obstacle). Congratulations!

    Thank you and ABSOLUTELY!!!! WE talk our own selves out of living up to our capacity...we are definitely capable of more than we give ourselves credit for!!

    On a completely unrelated note, seriously, how on Earth can you look so adorable in your icon with your swim cap and goggles? I look like a coneheaded cartoon Stay-Puff Marshmallow man in my swim gear!

    Wow you all!!!! I am sooooo thankful and MOVED by the outpouring of love and support!!! The internet can be a MEAN spirited place sometimes and I wasn't sure how well a message from a 300lb woman would be received!!! LOL. But you all are absolutely wonderful and I FEEL THE LOVE!!!

    I wish, from the bottom of my heart, for each of you to have success beyond your wildest dreams!!

    Ya'll ROCK!!!!
