ORIGINAL POST:

Today is Saturday and I am actually going to start NEXT Sunday (I like beginning on Sundays for some reason) March 28th for W1D1.   If anyone wants to join during this week too, I'd LOVE the company/support/motivation.

I am a SAHM of 3 (11, 9, almost 2) and just turned 40.  I have attempted c25k a few times but have been sidelined for various reasons.  I have been walking and have been in the gym of the past week and a half and am ready to set a date to start, once again. I want to just walk for about another week before I start W1D1.  However, just starting this thread will hold me accountable!!    I also want to lose about 15-20 lbs and hope that this will help with that goal as well.

So who is out there wanting to start sometime soon as well???  (I was a lurker for about a month before I said a peep - I know you're out there too!!!)
