    Great entry! I had a patient that used to be a "fat girl" runner. She started out running around her block before the sun came up (so nobody would see her). She now runs competitively. Very inspirational!!

    I was at the gym on wednesday night and sat in the sauna for 10 minutes because I was too chicken to get on the treadmill because there were only 2 open out of 50. I was so very scared, I finally went and ran and had a great burn. I am only 3 lbs from goal, wear a size 6 and an average body fat % still have my all the same issues as when I was the fat girl (240lbs starting weight) at the gym. I hope the intimidation part goes away soon, I really want to hit the weights section at the big gym I go to instead of lifting only at my neigborhood gym. I love this article and it helps me to turn that page in my fear of the gym!!

    Thanks, this brought tears to my eyes because I am the fat girl. The obese chick walking on the treadmill, while the fit people are running or doing the elliptical at level 3 while others are at 15 or 20. I keep my head down and my headphones on not making eye contact or talking to anyone. This gives me more motivation to keep going. :heart:

    That was me at the gym. I don't run, but same story on the bike or working weights. Thank you!! I recognized this and I make it a point to tell the people at the gym that are now where I was 10 months ago, how well they are doing. How much they inspire me is something that I must share.

    Thank you for sharing that. You have brightened my day!

    3 years ago I was the fat girl...100lbs heavier than I am today, just starting to run after years of not running! It was a very difficult road, and not without frustration, and shame. But like everyone else, I kept putting one foot in front of the other, and building my time and mileage!! Through diet, running and other cardio and weights, the weight came off...I still run and I still love it...I try to encourage others out there with me as we are co-sojourners on this road of running and fitness...no matter what level or what pace! To anyone that wants to run but doesn't know where to start...go get yourself fitted for the right shoes, load up your Ipod, throw your hair in a ponytail, and just start doing it!! There is no feeling like it! I will be doing my 3rd marathon this year...it is true...once running gets in your blood, it is who you are...fast or slow...you are a runner!! :-) Good luck to you all!! :-)
