ok guys so currently i weigh 237 and i have been holding off on starting the couch to 5k bc my husband says that i need to be under 220 before i start any running program. i have now decided to ignore that and i got a friend of my to join me and we are starting the couch to 5k on monday. im soo excited. im having a hard time losing weight lately bc i hit a plateau. a few weeks ago i started working out hardcore and gained back 4 of the lbs i lost and it got me really discouraged, so i stopped working out. well i started back up this week and i feel good about it. i think i am just going to stay away from the scale as much as possible. i go in for my 3rd fill in 2 weeks.last month i didnt need one so i think bc im getting hungrier that i need one this time around. wish me luck with the couch to 5k. im kind of intimidated by the program, but hopefully it will work out some stress. lord knows i have alot of that right now.

    Good luck and atleast you are aware of what you need. It's a good thing to make progress even if it's just making different decisions than we used to. I know the scale can be bad to visit everyday. I had a friend when I went to weight watchers every week that had the same dress on week after week. I didn't know why until she explained it's so she weighs (her clothes) the same each week and so she sees the results in inches as well as pounds. I love the idea and it really helped me see sometimes our body does change even when the scale does not.

    Keep it up and eventually you WILL get there. It's only when we give up that our body does too.

    Best of luck on your CT5K!!

    I started my running program at 245#. I got a little over zealous and aggravated my plantars fasciitis, but I took a couple weeks off the running (doing other cardio) and I'm back on track. I'm at 230# now and I find that the running is the best way for me to shed pounds.

    I can't run everyday. But if I limit it to 1-3 times a week with a day or two inbetween each, I've not had any issues. Plus cross training with other exercise in between is helpful.

    Everyone is different. Just listen to your body!
