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, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
