I started running about a month ago. It was a struggle to go about a 1/4 of a mile. One day I decided to try and push myself to a half of a mile. Anyways, once i got to half a mile I felt like Forrest Gump. I just kept running until I hit 2.5 miles. I had an immediate breakdown and cried when I got off the treadmill. I walked outta the gym and said F$$$ Yeah I can do this! :thumbup: If I can anyone can! Good luck!

Hi Guys! I love Couch to 5K. I started it 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow starts my 3rd week and I up my running even higher. My goal has always been to run a 5K but never knew how to train. I've become so addicted that instead of the 20 minutes they tell you to do, I never do less than 30 and sometimes up to 50. And I've been doing it 5 days a week, not 3. It's been the BEST challenge. Don't get me wrong, I still HATE running, but I hate it a little less each day. :thumbup:

And to answer the big boob question.... I have huge ones, as most of us do here. And I wear 2 sports bras and one tank top with a bra in it. I am completely strapped in! And it helps, but I still feel tons of pressure on my chest. I can't wait till I can wear just one bra! Oh happy day....

I'm doing the online plan. It's 2 months. 8 weeks. I don't know what you are talking about with 5 or 7 months. That's a looong time to train for a 5K. Maybe it's something different. I'm doing 5 days a week right now because I am still doing more walking than running. My body feels great! And it gets easier everyday....

I did this back in August and September. It really kicked up my weight loss! But--I still don't like running. Do it...it does wonders for your self esteem, especially if you are like me and never could run even for a minute! Good Luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
