    Hi! I'm in SW FL. I just started the C25K and I'm not doing well at all!! I can do 5-6 miles on the elliptical inside, but running outside has me dripping and falling over after 1/2 a mile. Bummer... I'm trying to acclimate myself to the heat. Any tips from seasoned tropical runners?? I've lost 20 lbs so far, but need to lose another 40.

    We love the beach and there are lots of cool bike trails around here though. :bigsmile:

    Hi, I'm from St. Augustine, I have never lived anywhere else! Want to get down from 155 to at least 135. Seem to be losing more inches than weight. The beach here is great and we're only 2 hrs. from Orlando!!!! So much to do there, love it! Wish we were all close enough to meetup. When the people you hang with aren't in this with you, you're sort of on your own. It would be nice to have a get together!!!!!

    Hi! From Orlando. I've been using this site for one month now and so far just changing my diet has helped me lose 17lbs. I have a lot more to go but MFP is making it easier. Nice to see so many other Floridians on here! Woo hoo!

    Another Tampa girl here, born and raised but I'm dying to get out of this state, haha. I'm not made for hot weather, you think I'd be used to it after 27 years! ;) I do practically all of my exercise inside aside from when I walk the dog. I want to start C25K but I don't think I can do it in this heat.

    Go first thing in the am, like before 7. When its still got that nightly crisp in the air and the humidity is not too bad yet. We do our c25k at night though just after sunset.

    I want to try and get my hubby to do the C25K with me! After sunset or very close to it is a good time to go outside for a walk/run here...last night though, it was super humid!

    Nice to see so many Floridians here! Wish folks were closer to me! I would definitely like to do a meet up.
