    I'm on week 3 day 2

    I have been doing this since I started mfp this time and I have lost 18 lbs. I'm kind of stalled since I started doing more long runs, BUT I am losing tons of inches. I've gone down 2 pant sizes and have over 8 total inches off my thighs and about 3 off my stomach. I also had knee and back problems and had to wear a brace the first three weeks, but now I have no brace and my back rarely hurts.

    I have a pair of jeans I bought as my fall jeans last July when I was losing weight. I was 173 lbs and they were tight...lots of muffin top. I gained back all my weight and started losing again in June. I am currently 177 lbs and wore said jeans today. They fit perfectly with no muffin top. The difference? I run now. So it has done pretty good things for me.

    I'll join! I just did Week 1, Day 1. I have always wanted to be a runner but can never seem to commit. I'm trying C25K after my hubby, who was a total couch potato, successfully completed the program and now runs 5Ks regularly. My dream is to run my first 5 K at the end of October with him.

    My first run went well but I got skin splints on the last 60 seconds. I think the greatest challenge for me is actually slowing down and finding the right rhythm. I tend to have a lot of forward momentum. I was always a good sprinter but could never last the long haul. I have to learn to "jog" with my feet under me. Anyone else have this problem?

    @KAYREVAN try rundouble on your android and its the C25K. I downloaded the free version which is good for 2 weeks and then for 1.59 I will probably purchase the full version that will take you thru all the weeks of the program :) I'm on week 1 day 2 for me tomm
