    Good for you! I too tried running when I started at 315, now I'm 271 and it has gotten a bit easier as my fitness level has inproved over the last 13 weeks! Make sure you have a very good quality pair of running shoes though, it's very important! I have good shoes and I still managed to hurt my knee the other night jogging, so be careful! Good luck and keep up the great work just don't push yourself to much early on. Give it time and your body time to adjust!

    Way to go. It was such a short time ago that I was exhausted running for a minute, but finished Week 5 of the C25K program tonight and ran for 20 minutes!

    Good for you! That's great!

    Not sure what kind of exercise plan you are on now , so maybe you already have it all figured out - but if you are looking for something that will ease you into a slow jog (REALLY ease you into it) I had success with Leslie Samsone's Fast 4 mile walk. It's mostly walking but there are two short parts that are "boosted", which is basically a light jog (in place). You can do 1, 2,3 or 4 miles - all right in front of the TV.

    Anyway, best of luck to you!
