I started it at 290. I am now down to 267 & just completed week 4. I would suggest trying it, but not be afraid to stop if you need to. Just take it at your own pace!

Its a hard journey, but worth every drop of sweat!!!

Thanks!!

I am keeping my calorie intake at 1500 or less, only eating things that are beneficial for my body (no filler junk), drinking nothing but water with the occasional unsweet tea or black coffee & am currently in the gym 30-45 a day 6 days a week. Work with a trainer 3 of those days & do the C25K the other 3. The MAIN thing I…

Did week 4 day 1 of C25K. It was hard..so very hard. I made it through the first 3 min run interval & I actually made it through the 5 min run. But I was near tears and my lungs and legs were on fire. During the next 3 min run I could only go for 90 sec. I was ready to kick myself and scream FAILURE!! Then I realized I had…

I start week 4 today. I am so intimidated by the amount of running involved in this week. I was struggling during the 3 min intervals last week. Trying to figure out how I'm gonna make it through the 5 min ones this week... I have a feeling I will be doing some extra hard praying this week!!! Lol!!

Finishing week 3 today!!! Nervous about week 4!!

Finished Week 2 Day 2 ok C25K. ALL glory goes to God! I was calling on Him by the second run interval. It was only because of His strength that this body was able to complete it. Thank you Father!

Will be doing Week 2 Day 2 tonight!!! :happy:

Hey! Thanks for the answer! You have solved my problem! I had no idea I should be getting my calories from food!!!! :noway:

Thanks for all the replies!! Currently I am just doing C25K 3 days a week and the eliptical 3 days a week. But starting next week I will be doing strength training 3 days a week instead of the eliptical because I joined a 6 week boot camp class. Might up my protein a bit then! For now though I'll keep it like I got it!…

Was supposed to go to the gym yesterday to do Day 3 of Wk 1 but my shins were giving me fits and I didn't want to risk an injury so I didn't go. Will be doing Day 3 of Wk 1 & Day 1 Wk 2 in 2 consecutive days, but oh well! Since I am starting a bootcamp class next Monday and plan on doing C25K on my off days from bootcamp I…

July 1 was 2 years for me!! Marlboro Lights in a Box for me! I gave it to God, and quit cold turkey. IT WAS HARD! But 150% worth it! I loved my cigs but was always ashamed of being a smoker. Afraid I smelled like a smoker. Afraid my breath was horrible. But I loved them!!! I too have cravings now and then...and sometimes…

I wish I had a suggestion for you as far as shoes go! I'm currently wearing year old sketchers myself! Lol!! Try finding a store near you that specializes in running gear & shoes! They can examine your gait and tell you which shoes are best for you!

The pain is temporary! Its just muscles protesting because they aren't used to being used in such a way! If the pain gets worse though you may need to look into a new pair of running shoes!

This time last year, I started running without c25k. I couldn't run more than 30 seconds at a time. And that was really more of a slow jog then a run. I was about 275 lbs. I kept at it and worked my self up to jogging a mile at a time. The farthest I went without stopping was 2.25 miles. I did 1 5K and had to walk a good…

I have a goal of 115lb to lose! Lost 6.4 so far!! Please feel free to add me!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

Well of you take my exercise out of the equation I have 500+ calories left... Should I eat something to use those or just let them slide?
