Hi everyone. I have always wanted to do the 3 day breast cancer walk, but because I was so big I knew that I would never be able to complete it. Well...this is a new year. I have committed to completing the 60 mile walk. I have lost almost 80 pounds and I know that I can do it. My aunt is a breast cancer survivor so it makes me even more excited to take on this committment. I will be doing the walk in Washington DC in October. I am in the beginning stages of raising money (I have to raise at least $2,200). If anyone is interested in donating on my behalf, you can do so through my site at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

Also, if you are in my area and are interesting in joining me for training walks, let me know!!! My personal goal is to be at my "weight loss goal" by the time of the walk. Wish me luck!!!!

congrats, that's great! good luck!!

Whoo hooo, that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the replies. Of course I'm worried about it, but I'm starting my training tomorrow. I have to get some really good shoes. I just can't wait. I'm also curious to see what my weight is at the time of the walk. As of yesterday morning, I finally hit a 80 pound loss. I want to hit 100 pounds by my one year anniversary and who knows where I'll be come October. Thanks for the well wishes!!!!

That's awesome. Congrats and good luck!
