W3D1 was a piece of cake. I went early - before the sun was fully up - and I'm sure the temperature being 20 degrees less than what I'm used to helped a lot.

Day 16 done.

Just a blip. Don't worry about it. :)

I'm 240 and I'm a US 18.

Forgot to post - day 14 done.

It gets better. Start drinking powerade zero - it helps tremendously with the keto flu. Remember to drink more water than you think you need, and salt everything. It's so much easier when you're not dehydrated.

Blunt suggestion - look up "squishy fat and whooshes." It's a genius explanation why and how people lose weight in spurts.

Got rained on today! But it was actually brilliant - cooled me down and cut the humidity. Week 2 done.

It's all good. Have you seen weight trend charts? They even out the spikes that happen for everyone. If seeing the ups are getting to you, give one of those charts a whirl. Also - you know about squishy fat and whooshes, right? If not, google it. It's an absolutely fascinating look at why there are daily ups and downs with…

Way to go!

Day 13 done.

Thanks - I think I'll give it a shot!

Oh crud. I just realized that I didn't do W1D2 today, I accidentally skipped to the W2 workout. It didn't kill me. What do you think - should I go back to W1 or continue with W2?

Day 12 done.

Day 2 done. I'm moving my posts over to this thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10551180/c25k-newbie-runners/p1

W1D2 done. I did my starting run too fast and I'm still huffing and puffing. lol

The way I do it it definitely burns more than walking....

Day 11 done. That looks like a great challenge - maybe I'll do that one once this one is finished.

Are you going to sign up for a race?

I know 2 people who have had WLS. The first had a bipass and she died from complications. The second had a lap band and he had no change in weight at all because he didn't change his diet, he just ate tiny bits all day. It's not an easy way out. It also doesn't work if you don't do what everyone else does to lose weight.

I did my first session today. I'm recovering from tendinitis in my Achilles tendon, and my doctor approved C25K to keep me in check so I wouldn't overdo it. I was nervous I'd be hobbled, but surprisingly it wasn't bad at all.

Put a chair beside you to hold onto while you do it. Look at a spot right in front of you instead of looking down. Sometimes reverse lunges (stepping back instead of forward) can help with balance issues, but they are harder to do than regular lunges.
