    well, i mostly do the treadmill right now. i've heard that if you put the incline on 1 it is more like real running. but when i'm not on that, i've found that downloading songs for c25k helps a lot. there are many you can find. usually the way they work is there is 30 minutes of get-you-going music and when it's time to run or walk, a voiceover comes on to tell you. i like that a lot. just google "c25k playlist" and you should see a few options.

    good luck!

    Haha, well, this is me at almost my heaviest! I've only lost 8 lbs, but thank you! And no, my boyfriend has never had any complaints ;). BTW this comment has absolutely made my day. Thank you so much! It really is hard to see yourself, I agree. And pictures help, but comments like this help so much more.

    Tell your hubby to get his butt into gear and take some pics! Haha Also, I like your motivation phrase!! lol

    I just recently started running too!!! I ran my first official 5K today in under 30 minutes and I can run 5.5 miles at a time now without stopping... next stop 10K!!! :D

    You can do it. It's difficult at first, as everything worthwhile is... but you can do it if you want it bad enough. Plus you get to see the beauties of running and how your body feels. It's so, so cool.
