I wish you the best on your couch to 5K. I am just not a runner..I can walk forever..just can't run! LOL

Good luck and atleast you are aware of what you need. It's a good thing to make progress even if it's just making different decisions than we used to. I know the scale can be bad to visit everyday. I had a friend when I went to weight watchers every week that had the same dress on week after week. I didn't know why until she explained it's so she weighs (her clothes) the same each week and so she sees the results in inches as well as pounds. I love the idea and it really helped me see sometimes our body does change even when the scale does not.

Keep it up and eventually you WILL get there. It's only when we give up that our body does too.

Best of luck on your CT5K!!

I started my running program at 245#. I got a little over zealous and aggravated my plantars fasciitis, but I took a couple weeks off the running (doing other cardio) and I'm back on track. I'm at 230# now and I find that the running is the best way for me to shed pounds.

I can't run everyday. But if I limit it to 1-3 times a week with a day or two inbetween each, I've not had any issues. Plus cross training with other exercise in between is helpful.

Everyone is different. Just listen to your body!
