I have always wanted to be a runner.... Numerous reasons that go above and beyond health issues.

Anyone tried the C25K program? Anyone want to try it with me?! Ive been looking at jogging strollers (I have an 8 month old), this is really something I want to do. I plan on starting tomorrow- I only worrry because I do live in the deep south (incredibly hot and humid)... I used to have the endurance to do my cardio on the eliptical for 45 min and a higher than average speed (that was before I got preggers and gained 80 lbs).

I am still 240+ lbs, and i will taylor this schedule to meet my needs. I will try it as is, and if it is too much, I will cut back....

I WILL GET THIS WEIGHT OFF. SOON. This is how I will do it....

Anyone with me?!

Great! Thanks! I'm pulling up my computer now so I can check it out! I'm starting in the morning! I'm a bit nervous, I have not decided if I should take out the stroller, or see if my sis will sit with her while I start. I know my dog will LOVE it!

I figure if I do it after her early AM bottle (around 500) it won't be too hot, won't be much traffic, and she will have gone back to sleep... Admiral (my Great Dane) and I can go out...

I can do this! I know I can! I may have to take it a bit slower than the program suggests, but I can do this!

I tried it pre- band and found I couldn't get pass week 5. I'd like to try again now with 22 lbs. gone. I too live in the south (fl) and it is saying to hot! I think I'll start it in two weeks when my oldest starts kindergarten then hit the treadmill at the gym. Good luck with the program, it's really great and it's very rewarding!

Theres a whole thread about C25K in the exercise forum.

I was trying to get into it but I had to realize I just can't do it. I have an internally degraded left knee and it really started to hurt on week 2 .

Then on top of that we had a car accident 2 weeks ago that aggravated everything so I'm gonna have to go back to Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds.

The best to you on completing the program I hear it can be ver rewarding when you complete it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
