Hi Hi!

So, i'm a new overweight 28 yr old female and i think i'm ready to get serious on losing weight!

So, I've read all the success stories and i'm willing to try anything at this point. Biggest problem for me is consistency and staying on track - so i need LOTS of support in that area.

Side note - we have a challenge at work to do a 5k on March 17th - so, i'm looking into doing Couch to 5k AHHHH LOL

All in all, i'm going to try - Sooo, anyone is my same boat and would like to support me while I support you?

    I am also new! I am 25, within a healthy weight range, but looking to tone up and generally improve my overall physical condition. I am also looking into starting Couch to 5K. Perhaps we could motivate each other to get out there and run? ^_^

    Hello Ladies! I am on "Week 9" of the "Couch to 5K!" I can honestly say I NEVER thought I would be able to run 25 minutes... and it's really happening! You gals can SO do this, too. I have to admit - I stretched the program out A LOT. Some weeks, I repeated 2 times... but that's okay! Just keep going!

    This is kind of funny... last night I was scrubbing my left leg in the shower - something felt funny. I thought to myself, "what is that knot n the back of my thigh??" Then I felt the other leg - to compare... it was exactly the same. OMG - I felt my... MUSCLES!!! I'm totally serious - I have never had strong legs. I used to think they were shapeless cylinders, but by George - that running is paying off! :)

    You can do it!!
