I have been watching plus size relationship blogger, CeCe Olisa from The Big Girl Blog doing her thing with PSPFit for a while now. I love what and where she is coming form with this movement, watching her on twitter @CeCeOlisa doing her thing, motivating, inspiring, and leading others through this program she created.
So when I got news that she got Lane Bryant on board to support the second cycle as the leading sponsor for the #PSPfit Pre-Thanksgiving Healthy Curves Challenge, I had to share with you and give my love and support to her!
Lane Bryant is also providing items from their NEW activewear line, TruDry, for the #PSPfit fitness videos, and is providing an exclusive activewear coupon for #PSPfit subscribers, as well as gift cards for contest winners.
This fall, Plus Size Princess Fitness (#PSPFIT) is offering cycle two of their 30-day fitness challenge to promote healthy curves by focusing on clean eating and strength training!
“#PSPfit believes in health at every size and has designed a program to benefit women regardless of their fitness level.
By using the influence of social media, they are able to provide direct access to a certified nutritionist and personal trainer at an affordable and discounted rate only available through the #PSPfit program.”
What is this #PSPfit Pre-Thanksgiving Healthy Curves Challenge?
The #PSPfit Pre-Thanksgiving Healthy Curves Challenge is taking place during the 30 days before Thanksgiving 10/26/13 – 11/27/13. Before we show love to others during the holidays, #PSPfit Cycle 2 participants will take time to focus inward and show love to themselves with a 30-day commitment to clean eating and fitness.
While #PSPfit is based in New York City, their online nutrition program and YouTube fitness videos you can join the movement and take charge of your body from anywhere in the world and thanks to Lane Bryant, the #PSPfit Pre-Thanksgiving Healthy Curves Challenge is just $99!

I had the chance to reach out to Cece to learn a bit more about this movement and her impetus for starting along this journey! Please read on to learn more about her and PSPFit!
What prompted you to take or make this journey?
I have PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) which lots of plus size women have, even if they don’t know it.
I was noticing that when I ate well and worked out my symptoms improved, and when I fell off the wagon? My body did not like it! I started to realize that it wasn’t about losing weight, it was about supporting my body with whole foods and movement and letting my body regulate itself.
Healthy is sooooo the new skinny!
How did it evolve?
#PSPfit started off as accountability through taking photos of meals and workouts on instagram and twitter with the #PSPfit hashtag, this is an easy form of accountability.
Then I took it to the next level in my personal life by hiring a nutritionist. I started thinking about how many women could benefit from something like this if it was more affordable.
That’s where the idea of #PSPfit boot camps came from. This cycle we’re able to bring 30 days of intense fitness and nutrition coaching to women at a 95% discount.
What do you see it growing to?
It’s really up to the girls who participate, we’re in this together!
As long as women have a desire to get healthy, I don’t mind finding experts to help us do it! I’d love to see #PSPfit Chapters in different cities/countries so that curvy girls can meet up and work out together.
If someone was to take ONE thing away from PSPfit, what would it be?
Be grateful for the body you have, it’s going to do the work to get you to your next level of health.
