200+ Pound Club!

Keep at it. I spent 2weeks on week one. Couldn't run 1:30 without stopping at 1st. Last Saturday I ran25 min. Nonstop and it was a huge rush. I have been doing c25k since late Sept. and I am just now on week 7, but I have not missed running my 3 days a week yet. Just repeat weeks you need to and advance when you feel ready. Down 23lbs, and feeling the best I have in years. Wish I had done this sooner.

I just started w4 and was thrilled that I finished it. My pants are looser and I feel better than I have in years. Yes my muscles ache on running days, but It is so worth it. I finally got on a scale at work for the 1st time since July and I am down 14lbs. That all came off since starting c25k in late Sept. I can't believe that I am sitting here wishing my husband would get up so we can go run. Yeah me!

2lbs a week is really ideal to lose &keep it off. Just look how far you have come and keep it up.

Anyone starting C25K in late Sept?

Went out to do W1D2 this morning and it was raining. I almost went back inside , but told myself a real runner wouldn't let this stop them,so off I went. It was hard for me, but I was still smiling at the end. And much cooler when raining. I am so psyched that I want to do it everyday, but will stick to the 3 times a week to prevent injury.

Thanks, bought shoes at a great local running shop, and did d1w1 today. Frustrated that my name is on the thread. I gave a different display name. Anybody know why this is happening?

Why is this displaying my actual name when I put in a display name? I looked at my profile and I did not check to share my name.

I am 50 and 250+,can't bear to put the #in writing. Tired of being tired and concerned that my blood sugars were high at last appt., I started walking this summer. I was walking 3-4 miles each morning until school started. (Teacher) I am still walking 2 miles each morning, no time for 4. I want to up my exercise so I began running short burst during my walk. Today I heard about c25k, and I am going for it. Going to buy good shoes tomorrow and then start the program Sat. Thanks for inspiring me that I can do this.

I just heard about c25k for the 1st time today. I am wanting to up my walking. After my 50th birthday and weighing in at 250+ at my Dr. Appt. I felt unless I wanted to become diabetic & old before I was ready, I had to do something. I started walking daily this summer and was going 3-4 miles most days. In Texas summer heat , it was challenging, but I stayed with it.when school started, I teach, I just didn't have the time to go that far in the morning. Way too hot in the afternoon. So I decided I need to run so that I can get more exercise in less time. Because I went with a friend to a kick boxing class Monday, & walked/ran today, I am going to start c25k Sat. Downloaded the app.
