    I have bad arches, so I need to lose a good amount of weight before I can do any significant amount of running. Right now it's murder on my feet.

    I have special insoles, but it still hurts to run. I think once I drop 30 - 40 lbs it won't be so bad. I walk 2 miles each way to work and back as of now, and I can do that without too much foot pain

    Dude you can do it. I started running when i had 90+ lbs to lose. Start small, be consistent and persistent. You can do it. There is a runner in you!

    Do you like running? I've decided I'm going to be a runner seems like it might be fun

    You should sooo become a runner. Hey, ever heard of the book Born to Run? Worth a read! My friend Donna recommended it several years ago,

    Whenever I try to run I am reminded of how much my body can jiggle. Makes me sad.

    I definitely intend to start running. I'm just hoping to lose a little weight first so it's easier

    I think if I ran with other people I'd be motivated enough to keep going. When I run alone, I'm like, girl, just walk. Lol

    I don't run, unless I have to. When I am able to run, I can run fast but I can't run for more than a block & running slower, doesn't increase my ability; to run further/actually it does the opposite because when I run slower, I work harder; to move & that thus depletes my energy faster. Whereas if I'm running fast, the momentum; makes it easier to achieve a further distance but stopping, causes me to work as hard; as running slower does because I am then going against, the momentum.
