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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
