    Started running at 310lbs three months ago.

    Bought a pair of brooks ghost 5's (i think 5's) and started C25K.

    Repeated days of week one and two due to HORRIBLE shin splints and foot pain in general. I mean horrible, couldn't walk, couldn't lift my feet. This was just for the first two C25K weeks. Once the pain stopped and it did, completely, I moved on to week three.

    Lost a bunch of weight thanks to MFP, karate, running and sporadic weight training which is probably a huge reason why it got easier.

    Just finished week 9 day 3, just 20 min ago :).

    Still over 200lbs, 238 actually (haven't updated profile in a week or two).

    Male, 6 feet tall, 41 years old.


    If I could/can do it ANYONE can.......if they want to.

    You lost over 70 pounds in 3 months. Congratulations!
