    Bravo for getting up and making change for yourself!!

    It totally gets better, as everyone has said. I also wanted to add a couple points:

    1. NEVER feel like you're not doing enough or that you're not as good as anyone else because they go farther or faster. You do the best you can and be PROUD of every accomplishment.

    2. Not only does it get better, but it gets addicting. Soon you will crave that movement and start competing with yourself to do things you never thought you could before.

    3. Epsom Salt baths are amazing for muscle aches. Try a 15 minute bath a couple times a week and your achy muscles will thank you.

    You're amazing, keep up the great work!!

    I, too, just started. I started back in January, and initially it was around my place of business, and I walked as hard and as fast as I could. It took me about 13 minutes at first, and after 2 months, I've got it down to less than 10 minutes. I've added more distance to my walk, and am walking about 15 minutes on my break. I am generally breathing pretty hard when I get back and am pretty sweaty, which is gross being at work, but my endurance is improving. I actually started jogging last weekend, and was able to jog about 6 minutes overall. (walk a block, run a block, etc...)
    It does get better, just hang in there and don't give up. Look at the success stories on here, and believe me, that will motivate you!! Good luck on your journey.
