The key is have patience. You haven't been running for very long and it won't happen overnight. I'm in c213k currently. I'm at week 11 and now can maintain 12 min mile. At the start of the program with long walk intervals I was at 14 min mile. If your tired, sore, cold, dehydrated all these things factor into your time. So…

Currently doing the couch to half marathon program. I'm in week 11 of 20. Similar situation gained a lot of weight. Lost 50 but have 40lbs to go. I'll be happy encourage your running goals. Feel free to add me as a friend.

100% Freaking love it! Love all the ways it intergrates into helping with all levels of fitness.

never mind i figured it out *Facepalm*

Thank you everyone! This was super helpful. All the studios in my area are super expensive so I'm going to start with some youtube videos and see how it goes. I have an aunt that lives in new york and when I visit her I go to her studio. I love the class environment. I wish i could find one for free!!! LOL nothing in life…

@ strawberrytoa - the app has the ablity to go into treadmill mode! So that way you can still get your interval updates. I run outside and on a treadmill. If you feel like you can run the intervals starting at week 4 then Great! If not I would start it from week one. It really helps you build endurance.

I have the android version of the app and LOVE IT!!! I can listen to music during my run and it will give me interval updates. Love the customization.

You need to bash the " I can never be a runner mentality" I have had asthma since I was 9. This year my insurance dropped my coverage of my meds and it was going to be 300 a month. Since i'm not rich i changed my diet and started exercising. I haven't taken my every day inhaler since Jan 2012. Its almost been a year! And i…

That is amazing!! Congrats!! I'm going to work up to doing Tough Mudder!

thanks guys for checking out my recipe. If you try it let me know what you think!

currently doing this. I'm on week 2 if you would like support.

The Black Keys are hands down the best band ever!!! I've been listening to them for 5 years and have seen a ton of there shows. They are amazing.

Yay Cookies!! I haven't had cookies in a long time and if i'm hiking I don't feel bad eating them. I was looking for stuff that would be good on the trail and not fall apart. I don't want squirrels or bears following me on the way to my camp site.

I found a recipe for Meringue Cookies? Anyone ever done these? Looks like they are light weight and not to bad for me. Any thoughts?

Thanks Hbm616! I am going to try these. I like making my own homemade cookies. I try not to buy store bought because I'll sit down and eat the whole package. If I'm at home I just make a couple of cookies and craving is satisfied with out effecting my hips :)

Well part of my problem is I have 15lbs of fat still to loose. So I think realistically the size 11 will fit better after that. I would like to be a size 8 again or at least single digits. It may not happen. I squeezed into some 10s the other day but it was super tight.

Yes he is. Kill me every day having to leave home to come to work :( I would love to be a stay at home mom if i could afford it.

Thank you so much. I was mainly curious to see if my hips were permanently going to stay more curvy. I like my curvy shape now but I'm mainly working on being more tone. Thank you for the advice.

I'm thinking this fed got lost among all the other posts. So i'm replying to my own post in attempts to get some help.

What's Longboard? Is this like skateboarding?

I have asthma too!!! Thats why i started the program. I'm trying to get off the medication.

Welcome friend! I just started C25k myself but will be happy to support you in your return. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm on week one and I plan on doing day 3 three of week one tomorrow and I ran today. As long as your body isn't hurting you should be ok. Make sure you drink lots of water to stay hydrated to prevent injury.

Tami, I'm so sorry your having to experience this right now. I'm here for your support. Some times in hardships we turn to food. As long as its not a habit you will be ok. Just do your best to get through this and your MFP friends will be here to pick you back up when its over and help you get back on track. Best wishes to…

Look at you rocking those skinny jeans! WTG girly!
