I am trying to live a healthier life and lose weight as well. I am trying to start running, so if anyone has any tips I welcome them. My first goal is to lose 40lbs and get down to my wedding day weight.

Have you looked into the Couch to 5K Running Program? http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

I started a little over a month ago, and could barely run one minute straight. Today, I finished week 5 and ran 25 minutes (a little over 2 miles). I'm looking at doing my first 5k in March, and the Warrior Dash in June.

I personally don't run (yet) but have heard rave reviews of the Couch to 5K program ... and there is an app for it as well. Welcome and best of luck!

I just started the Couch to 5k so far so good!

Welcome to MFP!

Have you tried C25k (couch to 5k)? Its a great way to start running if its not something you are used to. I stopped jogging when it got too cold outside but I plan to get back out there in March when it warms a little.

I have tried the Couch to 5K but I have been getting shin splints really bad which has affected how much I run. I can barely make it a mile before I have to stop due to the pain. I'm hoping I can get over them soon.
