Hey! I recently started the 90 day challenge which is a program my doctor recommended to me. I am down 50 lbs now and I have 55 more to go. I've been losing weight with this amazingly well and I am very very happy....

But now...I really started to get that itch to work out...so I was working out a bit...just walking on the treadmill, trying to learn to jog, getting now where....

When I found the www.active.com app on my ipone for $1.99. Its the couch to 5k one....OMG I love it...You have a personal trainer who tells you "ok, now walk" and "let's run"...and just encourages you and everything....it's really cool and I can't believe I am saying this but I am training for a 5k.

I was over 265 lbs and I AM TRAINING FOR A 5K!!!!!!!!!!! WOW.... i just wanted to share the app with you guys....because it's awesome and I can't stop talking about it!!!

    I started running with a free c25k app for my phone last April. I ran a half marathon in November and will run a marathon this October! I never ever thought I could run, I love it!
