Hi there,

I'm rekindling my committment to losing weight and am looking for some support. I am in my thirties and have more than 100 lbs to lose and am also trying my hand at C25k, which thus far has been a horribly hilarious endeavor. A person never knows how out of shape they are until they decide to take up running. :laugh:

Anyway, looking for some light hearted people to trade support. Hope to hear from you!

    Good Luck!

    I have done C25k before and quit in the middle both times. I think it's a mental block as much as a physical. Just know that you are allowed to repeat weeks until they get easier!

    I'm doing a group training program right now and it is working very well so far. All those other people make it easier to suck it up :)
