Thanks yall. This battle has gone on for too long. I have been fat since birth, I know no other life. I hope this will change things. If I can run on a treadmill in front of others I can life weights....

Thanks.... I just wish I had a home gym. I hate hate hate going to the gym and trying to lift weights. I feel like everyone is starring at me..... I am going to give it a try and see if it will help my weight loss. I have to do something I can't stand being this way anymore.

First off I want to say you look great! Well done. Second you are the same weight I was when I started and I have only lost 20 something pounds... you give me inspiration.

wow thanks!!!!! That helps a lot

I hope your right because it is hard when your not losing.

I would love to join you.

I just finished Week5 Day 1 and I thought I was going to die. Did you feel like after the 5 minute run that you were done? LOL I barely could finish and I feel like I am getting slower. Its hard. But I am going to keep at it.

I just started to clean up my eating. I am doing the Jillian Michael 30 day shred in between my running days. I had a bad day yesterday...

Hi, be careful running is addictive. LOL I like the Ease into 5K plan that you can get on your iphone. If you don't have an iphone the couch to 5K is a good program. I am currently in week 5 of the program it is hard.... Get fitted for a good pair of runnign shoes.

I just want to say WOW! I just completed my 2nd 5K but I walked/jogged. Please tell me how you did it. What was your time? I am so proud of you.

I see you and think wow look how thin she is. I want that so much. I am going to add you as a friend. I love running but right now I am overweight and running. I hope that the "something" will click with me soon. ....... I am going to visit your blogs and read how you did it. Shannon I am so proud of you. You looked happy…

Brooks make a good shoe.

Yes my goal is to be able to RUN a 5K and win by my next birthday LOL

I was wondering if anyone else had success running overweight.

Thanks :0)

I hit my mini goal and I am very proud of that.

Ya'll both look so much younger!!!!!

Me too :((((

The NSV is that your doing it and on week 8!!!!! I have been on Week 2 Day one for an extra week. My ankles hurt so bad. I say yay to you for sticking to it. Your going to finish I just know it.

Im just happy they are letting her do weight watchers cause I don't know if I can't stand another weight watcher commerical with that other girl singing....

I am using 30DS also and it does kick your booty! I am on Day 2 and we be so glad when I can finish the jumping jacks. They kill me! I have big girls and it hurts LOL

Just want to say you look great! You are one pound from where I started. Advice: did you run when you were in your 220's? I am working on Ease into 5K and my feel are really hurting. I have blisters and the tendon above my ankle really hurts.... also I just started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Can you give me some advice…

I started last week. I just use what the Ease into 5K app says. I hope to buy a HRM this week. A friend of mine wants to start so I will be repeating Week 1 again. It's hard. But, after I am done I feel so good!

Hi! We have similar goals... I started out at 247 and want to be at 199. That is my first goal. I can't tell you how many times I have started and quit..... I wanted to be 199 by my birthday but I quit and now I am starting again. Right now I am at 221.5 so I have 22 pounds to go. Congrats on such an acomplishment I…

Can I just say WOW! I have chill bumps from all the responses from ya'll!!!!!! Ya'll gave me some great information and I am so excited to run. It's funny, I never thought I would be excited about running, but I am. I can feel the change this time. I have almost 90 pounds to lose and I will. I just have to stay motiviated…

I just signed up for my first 5K. I just started the C25K program on my iphone. I know the date of the 5K is only two weeks away but I wanted to stay motivated and have a goal. I am very heavy and was wondering if I run a 5K is it ok to walk and jog? Will other runners be looking at me cause I am so big? My goal is to run…

Mostly, it is about how a certain man feels about me...... GAH

HI!!!! Guess what I am right there with you. I know it is hard. What is hard for me is keeping up with the attuitude you have right now. I have been trying to stay on plan since January. I have only lost 25 pounds but that is better than not losing at all. I need to start eating cleaner and exercising more. You can do…
