Anything Is Possible

[Kandi Robbins]

A little over seven years ago, I was covered in hair, had a pretty good belly, moustache and was internally miserable with myself.

Then the light switch went on after over fifty years of fighting who and what I am.

Now this is what is possible: https://www.kandis-land.com/barb-stitzer-photo-shoots/.

And that girl will be running the Boston Marathon in April.

I know it's never easy, believe me, but never give up!

Find a way.

In a stroke of fate, this is post no. 2,400 here!

Hi Kandi,

Your photos look great!

As a coincidence I decided to wear red nail polish to work this week, about the same shade your nails!

You do look great. I am so envious - I can only dream of ever looking that good.

Kandi, what a wonderful set of photographs.

[Kris Burton]

Kandi - these are wonderful photos! And I have experienced the light switch moment as well.

Kandi, Once again you are such an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for all you do and good luck in the Boston Marathon!

Congrats, Kandi! I hope u win! I hope u win!:thumbsup:

When I got serious about Sherry's figure about 15 years ago? I gradually changed my eating and drinking habits. A year+ later, Sherry and I lost that ugly spare tire I'd had for 50 years!:doh:

And, as long as I limit my junk food and booze it stays off!:heehee:

Absolutely stunning photo's Kandi. I can only dream of being able to do a photo shoot like that.

Kandi,

I like all of them but the one w/Black silk slip and red silk blouse the best.

Thanks for all you do for our community, you are the best.

Congratulations on the pictures and Boston! Qualifying isn?t easy. No wonder your legs look great.

[GretchenM]

Wow, Kandi. You look fantastic. You are definitely an inspiration.

[AnnieMac]

Wow! The Boston Marathon -That's quite an accomplishment - Congratulations Kandi!
Where did you run your qualifying race at? I've had some difficulty making it that far :)

[Teri Ray]

[Remee]

Gorgeous lady.

[Nylon Wendy]

You look amazing in those pics. Love the full slip and heels.

Great photos , Kandi. As a lifelong Massachusetts girl , you should know that Covid may cancel or postpone the marathon as it has since it?s appearance. If it is a go, maybe we can do a Massachusetts chapter meetup. I?m sure plenty of us would like to meet you.

Where did you run your qualifying race at? I've had some difficulty making it that far :)

I qualified at The Pro Football Hall of Fame Marathon (Canton, OH) this past May, just by 1:14. I made it for two reasons. One, being elderly, I finally was able to get a qualifying threshold I could meet. And two, COVID kept the number of applicants down. That said, I am honored.


And, as long as I limit my junk food and booze it stays off!:heehee:

Amen sister!

Sadly, I am well aware of that as it could wipe out yet another year of many activities (First Event being the most recent victim). But since I have been accepted, I will be in it whenever it is run. Meanwhile the training grind has begun!

I would love that, but for the race, it is 100% a business trip for me. It won't take too much to meet my goals of a PR (simply walking a few less times) and getting a BQ for the next race.

Thank you all for the very kind words. My purpose in life is simply to make it just a little easier for the girls that follow me, as those before were able to do for me. We have to have each other's backs and by doing so, this gets a little easier for everyone each and every day!

I do so love you in the lighter hair colors. I think it really does something to soften your features, but I really can't put my finger on it

[StacyG]

I love your confidence, it shines through in your amazing photos.

[Charlotte Sparkle]

Lovely photos Kandi and well done for the hard work and dedication you've put in over the last seven years to get yourself in shape, good effort.

Oh and good luck with your marathon in April too.

[Cynthia Rose]

Thank you Kandi! You are an inspiration!

[Judy-Somthing]

Great looks/photos.

Will you be running the marathon in drab?

[Jolene G]

Great pics, I ope I can look that good someday.

[Kandi Robbins]

Will you be running the marathon in drab?

Kandi is very lazy. Yes, I will be running as myself, its hard enough without all the "other" stuff!

[LeslieSD]

You look amazing and inspirational as usual. BQ at any age group is a great achievement. Congratulations!

[Sherry Ann Evans]

Congrats! You look great and I admire any runner who can BQ. I've got three marathons under my belt so far, but couldn't BQ in my car. :)

[MilenaSometimes190]

You look so amazing and inspirational!
