My name is Michelle Lahti. I live in Northern Colorado. I am a plus size, or curvy as I’d prefer to say it, lady and I have fun doing many things that cause people to give me funny looks because it is the last thing they think of a curvy lady doing. I decided to start this site as I felt that so many sites treated curvy women as people who didn’t do things. That we were lazy and sat around and ate bon bons all day. Instead, I wanted to show that even though you are curvy you can be active. There is so much you can do. I just earned my blue belt in Taekwondo. I play co-ed ice hockey, which I took a break from when I started Taekwondo but hope to start playing again this fall. I am hoping to do my first 10K in January 2016.
I want to use this site to share my stories of success and failure. To share where you can find equipment and specialty items for those of us who are curvy. To explore what it means to be curvy and healthy, meaning just because you fall into that category of “obese” doesn’t always mean you are unhealthy. Lets talk about emotions, hormones, fat, body image and many other key topics that might be different, or the same, for curvy ladies.
I hope I will hear from others who are curvy and active, and maybe I can inspire other curvy ladies to be out there and show the world what we curvy ladies can do!
