    First of all - never compare yourself to anyone on here. We all have different goals. Not everyone here is in great shape - trust me! I'm completely impressed by your running!!

    Second of all - did you have to mention Doritos?? Seriously dude...now that's all I can think of!! :grumble:

    Congratulations!

    Runners run. Period. Lacing up your shoes and getting out there makes you a runner, so you, my friend, are already a runner. The running community welcomes you :)

    Nice to see a someone else who can relate to me. I started out at 468. I am interested in the C25K, but was leary to run at my weight, so I have been walking between 1 and 2 hours a day and should break the 400 mark within a week.

    I wont say good luck, but I will say stay focused and consistant.

    Feel free to add me. Would like to have someone who understands what its like facing the fact that you a couple hundred pounds to lose.

    If you are 300-400 pounds you should ask your doctor before running. You could hurt your joints or ligaments. Walking would be so much better for you for the next 50-100 pounds. I hope you can just stick to a few minutes in the meantime, because there is nothing that will blow a weight loss plan or catapult you into worse obesity than being immobilized by injury!

    Smart girl, you won't get hurt this way. Good job!
    Absolutely amazing! I feel the same way. I want to be a runner! I want it so bad but I know I have a little way to go before I can start running. So far I walk 3 miles 3 days a week. And I'm trying to get my boyfriend into it to. But you are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work! We WILL get there!

    YAY! Way to go... not as heavy as that, but also not as fit... I'd be QUITE proud if I ran 3 minutes without walking, I'm with the girl who said she never learned to breathe properly, too. Rock it, work it, and it's one step at a time!

    Another very wise person who likes to be able to keep his knees intact. That's a good way to start. Even one hour could be alot but if you are comfortable, that's good.
