I am week one of C25K! I've already lost about seventy pounds over the last year and have been waiting to get light enough not to risk injury from jogging.

I have never been able to run - even as a kid and even at times I wasn't fat. It finally sunk in that if I really wanted to be able to do that, I'll never be younger than I am today.

More power to you and keep up the good work! Looking great :-)

Thanks for the kind words, I ran cross country in high school, so I got trunks for thighs. It's been 20 years, but I'm getting a rhythm.

I'm trying it all - MFP with a 1550 cap, C25K, slight Keto, some GNC vitapak and shakes, exercising at least a little every day, and a lot every other day. It's working!

Great work! You ran 5 miles or 5 kilometres? C25K is 3 miles ish.

Thanks! Well, I'm using the C25K program, but yesterday, I was feeling good at the end of my W4D2 run, and decided to push to 5 miles. (Also, I ran a loop, so I either had to walk or run back to the car. I decided to run)

((most of the way))

I've tried the c25k before, but I could never get past week 3. I'm so out of shape. My lungs start to feel like they're going to burst. My legs burn. I have tight joints so my ankles hurt. But I want to be a runner so badly. I'm going to do it, though. Even if I have to repeat weeks. Great job! :)

You can do it! Always remember - you can always jog slower, don't hurt yourself.
