I tried to start it, and realized i was in worse shape than I thought . I couldn't get past the day 1 in 2 months of trying 3 days a week. I even tried to do the run every other time even instead of every time. So good luck to you. Maybe post surgery I will have more success. I wish there was a couch to 5K for beginner beginners. LOL.

I'll be starting couch to 5K on January 3rd. I've been doing some tests of day one of the program using different smartphone apps to see which app works best for me. I've noticed it is way easier to do on the elliptical than on the treadmill or outdoors laugh.png.

I am starting January 9th. I have attempted it before. It is difficult, but if you do it at your own pace- it is always great. Look on youtube for BandedWendy, losingitwithrebecca or newtoy4kt. They have all done it and you can look in their vlogs to see their tips. They are all banders.. so they have great advice. Wendy is the farthest out (2.5 years) then Katie and then Rebecca. All great. Good luck!!

Thanks all for replying :) I heard about C25K from banded wendy, follow her on Facebook, and did good this week. I did the 3 days at my own pace. so far so good, good luck to all starting after the new year! I got from Wendy a cool site that has good music. I didnt download since I have a loaded Itouch but will over the break.

The site is: Kissmyblackass.org

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
