    Representing for the 79 percent!

    By ThickThighs  |  Posted December 14, 2009  |  Tallahassee, Florida
     

    Two years ago, I lost 30 pounds. I have 30 - 40 more to go, and I want to become truly FIT. Completing a triathlon has been a long-standing goal of mine, and I believe now is the time for me to meet it. I'll be 30 in January, and I look forward to this challenge. I'm a representative of the 79 percent of non-Hispanic black women in America who are overweight or obese. I'm ready to get out of that statistic.

     

    I've read the fine print, I know how to assemble a team of coaches, and I'd love to get started. I apologize for the quality of the video, but I hope you'll choose me!
