Thanks for all of the helpful information!! I had been eating only 1200 calories and felt bad to eat back my exercise calories. I can see now that it important to eat more when I work out.

I am 200 lbs, 5'3" and 26 years old. I get the 700-800 calories from entering my weight into the machines I use at the gym. I usually mix it up and do some elliptical, then treadmill (walking at 3.0 mph at a 12 or 13 incline and then some running at 5.0 mph)

Thanks for the help!!!

Yes, I have access to a treadmill. I do most of my running on the treadmill at the gym.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will start looking for some 10k training programs.

A few of you mentioned crock pot cooking as a god way to make low calorie/ healthy meals. Do you have an suggestions on where to get recipes?

Thanks for the suggestions and advice everyone. Having some healthy snacks on hand and in my car would be helpful! I will have to start planning a little more a head.

You look fabulous! How did you do it/ what worked for you?

Last year I would be lucky to have ran a mile so I am improving. I just have to keep working at it :)

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback. I will definately start running outside more often to get used to it. I do want to do another 5k in the near future. And I have a very good feeling I will shave off quite a few minutes from my first race time.

I am working on week 7 of C25K right now. I am amazed that following the program has actually gotten me up to the point where I can run for 25 minutes! I never thought I would do that in my life. Its tough sometimes, but you just have to keeo telling yourself to keep running. I feel so awesome afterwards!

I think you look smaller than 263. I am 5'3" and 230 and I think you look similar to me or better! :)
