Julie Creffield is a runner but not your typical runner. Why you ask… because she is FAT. Julie is the founder of The Fat Girl’s Guide to Running blog.  In her blog Julie shares her personal experience of going from a 280 pound beer guzzling, cheesecake eating, couch potato to multiple marathon runner and plus size role model. In this podcast Julie discusses her evolution of running and advice she would give to all of those Goal Crushers out there who are thinking about starting their own health journey.

“We are all human beings. As long as you are putting in a 100%  effort people will help…they will do what they can to help you achieve your goals.” -Julie Creffield
