Just finished W7D1. Averaged a 15 min mile so still slow but STEADY!! I am glad I cut back my speed. I felt like I could have gone a little longer and I wasn't struggling to breath. I just had to come to the place to realize that it's ok to be slow. I don't have to be a sprinter to be considered a runner and my speed will improve with time, consistency and persistence. Hey friends, I'm a RUNNER & I'm proud of it!!

I'm 10 months post and having the same problem with eating habits that are getting out of control. I am doing a reset the rest of the week and going back to Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and a Protein and veggie dinner. The carb monster has to be vanquished! I am also 10 pounds from my goal weight of 175 (I'm 5'11") and I think some amount of self-sabotage is happening. I'm leaving on a cruise on Saturday and I don't want to come back having gained 10 pounds. That would suck!
Good luck on the running program! The key to the program is sticking with it and not being afraid to repeat days or even weeks. Also, if you're having problems finishing a day, slow your running pace down! When I started, I was around 14:30/mile. Now I'm at 11:30/mile or faster for a 5K. My 10K pace on Saturday was 11:59/mile. As you lose weight, you will be able to increase your pace. I really didn't even worry about how fast I was until I had been running 5Ks consistently. My biggest concern is staying injury free, not how fast I'm running.

Just finished week 5 day 3! I had been dreading it (scared)! I didn't die! I think I am going to be ready for my 5k in a few weeks.

Yay!!!! Let's keep it going!!

I am at the same place! We're pacing partners!!

I just started yesterday! My left hip started hurting when I was running but it didn't last, so I'm praying that I just need to get used to it.

Your doing awesome!

Love reading you encouraging story. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Week 6 day 2! Done.

Wow, still trying to figure out this new app. It's like when I sign in I can't find this thread. Backed up a little bit to week 6 of C25K. Just finished day 2 run and feel pretty good.

Maybe not the moth thorough but I'm using the zombie 5K app....for some reason it amuses me to have zombies chasing me.

Redoing week 5 this week. Day 2 is done and kind of looking forward to my 20 min run Friday. Freaky hearing me say that! Was wondering how many calories and Protein grams everyone has a day. My weight has REALLY stalled and I'm disappointed in my lack of loss. I am 1 mo out from 1 yr post surgery and am only down 59 lbs. I see my dr next mo and don't have a nutritionist here locally. Really scared to face the holiday season.

I've been walking and jogging (attempting to, anyway lol) outside, but I just started a couple of days ago. I installed the Couch 2 5K app on my phone and plan to start that tomorrow. I hope I can hang in there and do it!

I finished W8D1, a bit sore, don't think I can run today. Was hoping I could get finished before surgery tomorrow. Sick kids and preparations got in the way... Hopefully I won't fall to far back after cleared in 6 weeks

Started this last week. I'm hoping to do my first 5K in the Spring.

This was my run today
This was incline bike.
One tired girlie today hoping for a little scale movement. All Protein and fluids in for a change.

I had to take almost two weeks off cuz I had a wart cut out of my heel. Plan on restarting on Sat and will repeat W8D1 and hope I can get thru it. So close to finishing App!

I finished the Couch to 10k! In 14 weeks I went from running for one minute straight to running for 60 minutes straight! I went from a total distance of 1.5 km in a workout to 8.7. I'm still "obese" so if you are thinking you can't do it? Think again.
Next goal is to get to 10k distance. I will keep adding 5 minutes a week until I do. Then I will work on speed to trim the minutes back off.

Did my run today but there's a lot of head games going on. I just keep repeating to myself, "never give up, never give up". Even if I never run a while 5k without walking I'm still moving and my body & family will thank me for it when I'm 100 and healthy and alive!!
