Hey guys! I'm Ashley and I wanted to start this group to help motivate myself and others to start the C25K running plan. I have started it multiply times and sadly with no one to help motivate me I would always stop. I lost about 18lbs around Feb-April of this year and gained it back. This time around I would like to have an actual program to focus on because I am very schedule oriented. Last time I lost the weight all I did was light weights/ cardio 3 times a week and ate less with the focus of no sugar and fried products. This time I hope to lose 23lbs by my birthday on November the 13th! I wish everyone the very best of luck!

Hi! I'm Sherry...I am currently on Week 2 of the C25K program, but I "run" more than 3 days a week because I love it. I started the program as a way to help me run, I am currently 80 pounds overweight and I had a hard time running more than 30 seconds at a time. This has made working up easy so far...0

Hi Ladies, my name is Robin and a friend and I just started C2 5K today! I had my second baby back in July. With my first child, I lost all of my pregnancy weight and then some within a month with no added effort on my part (hate me, I know.) For whatever reason this time around I've been holding onto this last 20lbs. I know its only been a little over 2 months but I don't like feeling big and flabby. I'm hoping to get back in shape and stay motivated. Good luck to all!0

Hi, my name is Jozetti, I hate running, but believe it is fun. I saw this on "The Talk" with Jamie Curtis who gave a shout out for the wonderful feeling she had when completing her first 5k, so here we go. I believe anything is possible with the right attitude.0

Hi I have "technically" completed C25k but due to several infections including chest and kidney infections I am struggling to do anything past 8mins so have decided to start at week 5 again and build up from there. My first 5k "race" is on 7th october so hoping to be fit enough to do it!0

Hello all! I'm Meghann and I'm actually going to be starting the program today after work haha I'm just looking to get in shape and start working on endurance/stamina (of which I currently have none) and this sounds like the structure I need to follow through.
Looking forward to the official check in sunday!0 -
Hi, My name is Marisa.
I already finished C25K for the second time. The first time I did it was 2 years ago and I loved it. I ran two 5k's. Then I got pregnant and busy with work. I gained 60lbs with my first pregnancy and 80lbs with the second one. First time, I had no trouble losing it. Second time, not so easy anymore.
I will be running my first 5k on Sept 23. I want to join the group so that I can stay motivated.0 -
nice to meet you too!0

My name is Christina. I have never done the C25K before but I really want to run a 5K with my husband. He is a runner and I have never been much of one but I am hoping with this program, I will be able to complete my first 5k and lose some much needed weight at the same time. Does anyone have any tips on where to get started?0

Hi everyone my name is Christa. I completed C25K a couple of years ago--the first time I ever ran in my life and loved it. Life happened and I quit running and now am ready to get back to it.
I plan on starting tomorrow (9/15). Anyone else starting tomorrow?
Current Weight 166.6
Goal Weight 130

Hi all,
I'm not new to MFP but I need some motivation this time! I'm 23 and 4'11 and 135.8 lbs. I've tried C25K before and always gave up because of shin splints. I think maybe I will try again and just go slower and redo week 1 if I have to. I'd love to do a 5K with my boyfriend and would especially love to actually want to run rather than hating every second of it! I want to try to lose 20lbs by Christmas and hopefully 15lbs by thanksgiving when I am going to a big fily wedding in Europe!
Anyway, planning on starting C25K on Sunday! 0 -
Hi all !!.I have started c25k before and got to week 3 and then just lost time and motivation. I will be running in my first 5k on Nov. 3 and I need to get my butt in gear and STOP making excuses for not finishing. Heck I've already registered for the race and told folks so now I have to put the foot to the ground and JUST DO IT!!!0

Hi everyone! I'm Mere (rhymes with air) and today will be W3D1 for me. This is my second time trying the c25k program. This time I am loving every run and look forward to all of my run days. I also have 5 dogs (yeah, crazy dog lady here!!) and I switch around and bring a couple along and they are really benefiting from the extra workout as well.0

Hi everyone!
My name is Sabrina but most people call me Brina. Live in Colorado. Have started the program many times but never finished it. This time I'm going to finish it! I'll be starting with week 2 I think. But I think I will run more then just 3 times a week.0
