Be careful with C25K at your starting weight. I say that because I tried it at 300lbs and I ended up with shin splints and plantar fascitiis (torn arch muscle), because my body couldn't handle the impact. I backed off and started with some lower aerobics classes, walking - trying to get faster each week and walking on higher inclines on a treadmill, and lifting weights.

That helped. But I've been plagued by injuries, because I tried to start too fast too soon. So try walking at a rapid pace on an incline. You'll burn more calories and build up your muscles while you lose weight.

Walking! When I was 335, I went for 3 mile walks, 3x a week. At first I was really really slow and it seemed that everytime I went for a walk it would get easier and easier. Just take your time and don't hurt yourself.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond and for your support. I really don't want to "quit" c25k but at the same time I don't want to hurt myself and then be unable to get any burn in. So I think I'm going to walk briskly a couple miles every other day (and eventually everyday) until October (and be down hopefully 50 pounds), and then maybe restart the c25k. I'm alreay feeling 1,000 times better than I was a week ago, but I know I have a really long way to go and I want to do it as safely as possible!
