    Welcome to MFP Chris, It's good that you decided to join this site and made the decision to change your life. You have a lot of weight to lose, but it's definitely possible to do so if you stick to it. The truth is that once you hit that target weight, you'll want to even lose more and appear more muscular. It's ironic, but as you go through the process, you become more motivated to improve your body. Anyways, good luck on your 5K and feel free to add me or shoot me a message if you have any questions.
