    Corey, there is a couch to 5k group on MFP and there are always new people joining. I hope to see you there soon!
    I loved reading every minute of reading your post. I feel the same way about everything you said. I've been on this journey since February & have been using MFP since August. I'm closing in on 100 lbs & have a little over 50 to go to meet my ultimate goal. At that point I will reassess & go from there. I also want to run. I've tried a couple times, but end up back on the elliptical because it's in my living room. I've been thinking about trying the couch to 5k program. Thinking is about as far as I've gotten...lol. You may just be the inspiration I need to really do it! Thank you for this awesome post. Feel free to add me if you like to give/receive support. I log everyday & love hearing others successes & helping motivate. I'm quite a bit older, 35, but it sounds like our goals are pretty similar. Congrats on all your success!

    Corey

    Wow, You are da BOMB!!! I have the lap-band and so far I am down 50lbs. I really suffer from PTSD (well earned). I used to be a brick house but the last few years have taken their toll on me. I am going to the gym tomorrow come Heck or high water and get back to where I used to be. Luv your story.

    What an eloquent chronicle of the ups and downs everyone experiences when they embark on a lifestyle change. But the ultimate message: commitment and dedication will yield results. Sometimes we see the before and after and read a brief synopsis but don't get the description of: I was so sore, exhausted after 15 minutes.... Your progress and story are inspiring. Thank you for sharing.:smile:

    Amazing story, you sound a lot like me, it's good to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, at the moment I'm right where you started, except I'm 27 with 2 kids.

    You are a real inspiration, good luck with the rest of your journey x
