    only about 9 pounds, but it turned me into a runner- which helped me lose 90.

    It TOTALLY works. Its not a weightloss program though- its a 'turn you into a runner so you can run to lose weight/feel great/have some zen' program.

    ^^^This!

    I just finished the C25K. I combined the program with other cardio and Zumba but I'd say since I started, I've lost twenty of the seventy pounds by doing that.

    I don't have any pics, but I'm on week 7 (week 5 took a couple of repeats for me) and I've lost 13 lbs doing just C25K and watching what I eat.

    I only lost about 5 lbs when I completed the program (I only had 15 left to lose at the time). So it was great, but the best part was that it turned me into a runner. I hated running before and now I feel like a day without going for a run is a day wasted.

    I started my running 'career' 2 years ago with C2K. I was 256 pounds and lost nearly 100 pounds over 18 months. I packed on about 20 extra do to some really bad life decisions, and am recently rededicated to getting back to 160.

    I just struggle to get into it, so I'm just winging it and "learning" to run on my own, so no pics from me.

    But, I do know people who have lost weight on it - most of them around 30 pounds. LOTS of inches, though. :)

    Good luck!

    What she said - you are training so you can be run - longer, faster and then loose weight.
    I have to add to my cardio time to make up the difference, count it as a bonus workout but not your main one,

    Since you wanted to see pics, here is the last progress collage I put together (sadly, it's still representative of where I am today, but that's a whole other story).

    When I decided to get serious about running, I started with C25K and running continues to be a staple in my workouts.

    I had already lost most of my weight before starting C25K. But I totally agree with this ^^. Also, for me, after a few months of running, but not strength training, I felt like my muscles were starting to go "soft." Once I reintroduced strength training and kept running, I felt like everything was better balanced. Now, I run once a week and strength train twice a week. Throw in some yoga and/or swimming too. Everything in moderation!

    Ahh I really can't say enough great things about c25k! I remember the very first day I ran day1week1 I thought I was going to pass out. I could barely breath and was incredibly sore for the days to follow - had to wait four days before I could run day2week1. However after just a couple weeks I started to notice an incredible difference in my endurance and the overall strength of my body. I finished the c25k app in three months and I continue to run now. This program aided in my weight loss and continues to as I still go for runs whenever I can fit them in usually ranging from 3-5km at a time.
