Time and hope is a long road for most of us! I have made it my life goal to help as many people as I can who deal with body image issues and self-doubt. That why I joined MUDGIRL, in the short time that I have joined, I have been inspired and motivated by these strong women ! A little information about me is I have been bulled for most of my adolescent life by family and school mates, really hated myself and my body. It took me until my college years to really come out of my

Hey y’all, I’m Brittany from Sweet Home Alabama! I grew up as an active child & athlete but in my teens, experienced the loss of a family member while my parents were divorcing & fell in to deep sadness — I gained 80 pounds by my early twenties. At 23 years old, I was caring for my Daddy who was 53 with stage 4 colon cancer — I was eating the most unhealthy foods, never slept, never drank water or moved my body & lived off of pure anxiety hype. I would literally become winded

April 19 is a date close to our hearts, for more than one reason. First of all, it's MUDGIRL's birthday! We have been organizing this fun and 100% feminine obstacle runs with lot passion for 4 years now.

Wednesday, April 19, 1967, Boston Marathon. At that time of an extremely sexis

Listen to your body. Be patient. Be disciplined. Long story short: Today, I am 31 years old. My story is typical to the ones you think can only happen to other. I never enjoyed sports, and actually never practiced in any. Until one day, I decided that it was time to kick myself in the butt. I now lost about 30 lbs (maybe less maybe more?) and my life changed from A to Z. Now, as if there was some kind of magic trick, a lot of people are asking me how I did it. What is my mi

So? These resolutions... How are they working out for you so far? Yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about. The ones you made on January 1st, and that are fading away more and more as the year passes. New year, new me! Yeah right. Please excuse my septicism, the point I'm trying to make here is not negative, I promise! I would actually like to openly question this need, this urge to make resolutions. The more I think about it, the more I realize it is simply about wanting to

Who would have ever believed that, one day, I would be doing an obstacle race ??? If five years ago, you would have told me I would be doing this type of race, I would have laughed in your face and called you crazy. No, seriously… me ? The girl who hates exercising more than anything, and whose physical education teacher at school would call her mother every year to warn her that I would have to run a predetermined distance or otherwise I would not be able to pass the class.
