Jill Angie is the resident running coach on this blog. She started off running to lose weight and she only thought about it as a way to burn calories. She ran on and off, but gained 300 pounds, so she started running again and changed the way she thought about it. She thought about it as a way to build up her confidence and strength. This is why I personally am inspired by her, she is spreading the word that you can be a runner at any size or shape.

This website was made by Anna Guest-Jelley and she is the founder of curvy yoga. She made this for teachers and students of yoga who want body affirmation and this helps them in finding body acceptance and what it means to them.

She created a safe place to teach plus size women yoga and how to do it at their home, which makes her a huge inspiration.

This blog is written by Jessamyn who is amazing at yoga! She is able to do amazing moves that you wouldn’t think possible if you were a plus sized woman.

This blog was founded by Roz ‘the diva’ Mays. She is certified in many instructional workouts, but is known for being a pole dancing instructor and loves to teach it. To many people, they think pole dancing is only meant for the strip club, oh how they are so wrong.

One of the reasons why she is an inspiration and amazing because she is showing that you can feel sexy being pus sized while pole dancing.

This blog is all about running and how it doesn’t matter what size you are, you can still run being plus sized. Julie Creffield signed up for her first marathon, which is why she started the blog. It was so she could document and be accounted for what she was doing.
Over the years more and more plus sized women started to follow her blog saying that they also run. She says on her blog that everyone bangs on people who are overweight, which puts a lot of pressure on people to be a certain size. This means that body confidence is very low, but if we embrace our bodies as they are, to be healthier and happier, then we are able to find the weight we want to be in the process. This is why she is amazing!
