Yes, fatties can be fit too.
This year, Beyond Yoga is making people buzz with its brand new studio in Tomas Morato. They have their own signature cafe (Beyond Cafe) which offers 200 calories of pure yumminess per dish (for those who are serious about fitness, health and weight loss)! The studio can fit 30 people per class and has shower rooms, provides mats, lockers and a lounge area.
They have a variety of classes; from Hot Yoga to Zumba, I'm sure you'll be able to find one that best suits your interest and personality!
I believe this will be a fun experience to all you girls out there who have been wanting to do something different! I want to personally encourage you, because I know some of y'all are afraid to go to the gym or try a fitness class because of their bodies or fears of being judged. Please, don't let these USELESS thoughts get to you! You have to personally go and try it yourself!
I was once like that, hindering myself because of my weight and all. But one day I told myself I will never be able to finally do something I love if I hid myself from the world all because of a very shallow reason and irrational fear. So then I tried pole dancing and guess what? I made tons of great friends, connected with plumpies and became an "inspiration" to other wannabe pole dancers who are now doing it themselves! :)
So please, go out, have fun and LIVE YOUR LIFE!
We wanna be a part of that and jump start your fitness by GIVING AWAY A 1 WEEK UNLI YOGA CARD TO ONE LOVELY READER!!!
All you gotta do is answer this question in 250 words or less: What's one thing you hindered yourself from doing because of your weight and how did you win over it?

I actually had second thoughts about fashion blogging and recently a new comment in my blog showed up telling me that people comment nicely in my blog just because they feel sorry for me cos I'm fat. I will not deny the fact that I was still affected and hurt; but after a few minutes of thinking about it and some words of encouragement from my blogger friends, I just shrugged it off and moved on. I know I'm just expressing myself and fashion for me is an art which is a form of self expression.
Nothing and no one should ever stop us from doing the things we love to do. We are as beautiful as how we see ourselves. I've had second thoughts about fashion blogging because of comments like that; but I've thought of it and realized, I'm not blogging to please but to inspire and to encourage fellow plus-size women that everyone can be beautiful. If I show a hint of defeat, my purpose is already defeated. Thus, I continue my journey into blogging and will just shrug off the negative comments.
I will just be myself and continue loving who I am.
Cheers to staying real and true to ourselves! <3

Although loving my curves has always been my number one principle that I’ll always live by, I also strongly believe that if I take care of my body , it will equally love me back as well. With the sports arena having to be giving out standards that you should be fit and lean to compete into any event, I grew up just playing ball games because it’s the only way I could play in a team without being awkward about my size. But upon mustering up courage to learn about this sport that I was ( and still am) eagerly interested in, I braved myself into trying out for the swimming team. Yes, I paved my way into rigid trainings and even competed to the Milo Olympics in highschool, caring nonetheless if my curves weren’t fit enough for my body fit Speedo. I realized, if I can be at par with these fast swimmers and water babies, should I give consideration to my size when competing in front of a large crowd? I convinced myself, no. I aint a size 2 or 4 at that, I’m a healthy size 10 and I’m a kickass swimmer with amazing curves. =)

With what the media has been telling us, performers (singers, actors, etc.) should be thin, period. My passion is for the arts, theater acting and singing in particular, and in this business, you gotta be beautiful aside from having talents. At one time that I was invited to do a mini concert, I got sort of disappointed because the clothes they have provided that I wear were literally for petite people. I don't know if they were "nananadya" or something. Luckily I brought my own clothes that time. So I went on with the show, did my thing, and had a standing ovation. And from then on, I didn't care if I was the chubby singer or that chubby theater actress. All I cared about was to show everyone that I am as good as those skinny people, or even better as some would say. I am passionate with what I do and I'll continue doing it because it fulfills me :D

Because i am so much bigger than a lot of my beautiful cousins and sister,in the past i would hide during family occasions whenever someone would bring out a camera. but it was my curvy physique that make me a popular choice for casters for television and print ads!one of the best moments was to see myself as the lead in a commercial! my weight fluctuates but i don't hide under baggy clothes anymore- i flaunt my girls, the pair of legs God gave me and i let my personality shine. Best of all i love having my picture taken with the family!

i've always wanted to wear lovely sleeveless dresses and blouses whenever i go out instead of the usual shirt and jeans but my big arms and tummy had always stopped me from doing so.=( i wanted to be free from being insecure about my arms and tummy and be seen wearing fashionable dresses and blouses. =D
