    I'd love to run too!
    I try. I've lost a little over 70lbs and am currently around 200
    I am slow
    I can only go about 2 minutes before I have to walk for 30-45 seconds then jog again. Repeat.
    I have gotten a little bit better since I started in July, but truthfully I am not able to give it as much attention as I would like. I am not comfortable going out in the dark, so it is limiting me to once a week, which is not enough.
    Go slow!!! I have to tell myself often to slow down. Like barely jogging.
    Good luck!

    @ICameToGetDown Thank you! It's tough to "go slow" when you want something like, right now. It's tough for me to accept that I have limitations and that I need to work at expanding them. Drives me bonkers when I start something new and I'm not instantly perfect at it. Patience is not one of my virtues, heh.
