Yes. I struggle with depression and anxiety and use food to self medicate. I know from my past that exercise helps tremendously. It's an ongoing struggle.

Great job! I love doing c25k. I'm at week 7 day 2 and ran 25 minutes yesterday without stopping. For me it was slowing down that made me keep going and not quit. It's more of a jog than a run but I hope to increase speed slowly as I increase distance. Keep going!! :)

Completed week 6 day 1 today. Slow but consistent. I also wasn't sure I could do 20 minutes on week 5 day 3 but read it's more mental challenge than physical. Your body can physical do this. Don't let your mind tell you otherwise. I slowed down but did the 20 minutes. You can do it!!

Welcome!! I'm a newbie also. 56 years old and need to lose 50 lbs for many reasons especially health. I've been dieting...Under or overeating..for many years. Trying to take this slow but steady and a lifestyle change that is sustainable. I'm doing c25k and yoga. On daily. Feel free to add me anyone :)

Yes big hugs. I've been there and understand your pain. It is such a struggle. Don't beat yourself up (I know easier said than done)...it's a new day

I certainly relate to your post. It could have been mine. I've been struggling with disordered eating since my first diet. I've been on both ends of the spectrum....extremely underweight and now over. Every one is different and what works for one may not another. For me if I deprive myself of anything inevitably I will…

I'm using c25k and love it. I started put trying to run too fast and found myself dreading the run. Since I've slowed down i look forward to it. I'm very slow but consistent and hope to increase my speed with time.

I'm joining this challenge also. I am a long time disordered eating. Binging has become a way of life after years of deprivation. I have no idea how to stop but going to try one day at a time beginning today
