Couch to 5K is a training program that, if you follow it you will be able to run a 5K when you finish. It uses interval training, meaning that you will run for a certain length of time and then walk (and repeat). It will start slowly, running for 45 seconds and walking 90 seconds (the times will vary depending on which program you use). To follow the intervals, there are many phone apps available that will coach you through the plan. I used Run 5K by Felt Tip Inc. There are many others.

There's a long running thread called "Started Couch to 5K today anyone keen?" that you're welcome to join in with all of us.

Good luck with your running! I started the program in February and finished the program in September (I had a month or two that I was sick) and ran my first half marathon last weekend.

Wow , girl, u look great! I would like to run as well. My son runs a lot and says he gets a high and that's what keeps him so calm and laid back. You have given me inspiration. I will try.

First, you look FAB, girly! Truly beautiful. :) I still find it amazing how our double chins recede pretty dang quickly, huh? The face usually is noticed as far as weight loss...before the body...when people comment on the changes. It took almost 45 lbs before some folks (who see me EVERY day at work) finally said, "Have you lost weight???" lol

Keep up the great work, doll!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
