I'm on Week 7, Day 3 of C25K and I "run" at 3.8 on the treadmill. It's SLOW but I think speed comes later. When I started, I could barely run the 1 minute intervals and the first two days of Week 7 are 25 minute runs, no problem! I love this program and have found I really can be a runner!! Best of luck to you, stick with…

Amazing and very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story!

I felt the same way when I started. I thought people must be judging this 230 lb girl out there at 5:30 am slowly running with her dog on my C25K days and walking with a quick pace on the others. But you know what, it's 5:30 in the morning and I'm OUT THERE DOING IT!! Who cares what they thiink. If they yell something, I…

I've been getting up at 5 AM for the past six weeks to work out. I take my labrador for a two mile walk and on the weekends, I "sleep in". I'm usually up by 6:30 AM and we do three miles. Granted, it's cold and dark and I'm a little messed up since last weekend's daylight savings (I keep waking up at 4 AM but I refuse to…

I'll be on a cruise with my husband and son which I think might actually be easier for me than being at home with my Mom's broccoli casserole (it sounds healthy but it's not!!), sweet potatoes and green bean casserole. We are stopping in Port Canaveral that day so we're heading to Universal Studios on an excursion. I…

I started at 243 (the first time over a year ago). I've been much more motivated this time. For the past 6 weeks, I've been getting up at 5 a.m. every weekday and walking 2 miles with my dog, we keep a pretty good pace about 19/min mile. I sometimes take a rest day on Saturday from walking and then do 3 miles on Sunday…

I did Week 1 Day 1 this morning and I have to say, I impressed myself. I was able to "run" (slow jog) all eight of the minute intervals which I had not been able to do before. I think my five weeks of walking 2-3 miles daily really helped me to be ready to run it this time. Last time I tried it, I couldn't run the entire…

I tried Couch to 5K last year and had a tough time, plantar fascitis in my right foot and my left knee hurt so badly. Plus, it was just really hard for me to run. This time, I've been preparing, I'm down 12 lbs since the last time, I got myself some high quality running shoes but I've been walking 2 miles at 5 a.m. at a…

Amazing! Thanks for the inspiration. Losing 95 lbs is my goal, 12 gone so far but now I know it can be done! You are beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your honesty and inspiration!! You look healthy and happy, that's what it's all about! Great job :bigsmile:

I think those were excellent points. I wouldn't leave my drink or any of my stuff unattended. I get up and out at 5:00 a.m. every weekday but I have my 75 lb labrador with me. Granted, he's super friendly but I think if someone had bad intentions, I think he might go into protect mode. We have to look out for coyotes more…

I'd like to learn that!

Perfect description! I have been at Stage 1 and 2 many times. Right now, I'm feeling like Stage 2 1/2, I've lost 11 lbs but seem to have leveled off. I'm trying not to fall back into full Stage 2 but looking towards Stage 3. I just got a fitbit to track progress and it's pretty motivating, although honestly, it's only day…

You can add me too!

I can definitely see it. Good for you! I fell off the wagon for a while but now getting motivated to lose this weight once and for all. I see your photos as an inspiration to get going. Keep up the good work and know you are also motivating others!! :happy:
