Onedaycloser, I started Couch to 5K training four weeks ago. I ran/walked a 5k in 30 minutes this weekend! Let me tell you, with my history of bad knees I NEVER thought this could happen. I love the surprises in this journey!

WOW you look terRIFic! Congratulations! I am so envious!

I also have bad knees, and I haven't even considered running. What made you decide it was worth a try? I'm afraid of my worse one giving way, and then I'd fall, get all banged up, maybe even hurt the knee more. Any words of wisdom?

JeanZ, I was bored with walking and I LOVE being outside. Plus my dog was getting fat!! I looked at a couch to 5K program and saw the first week was only running for 60 seconds at a time. I promised myself I would give it two weeks and see how it went. Just try it. If it's not for you, then no harm done. It's about getting out there and having a sense if adventure!! Go as slow as you need to!

I am super impressed with you and you are my new (s)hero..... I have been contemplating c25k and honestly it seems daunting. I'm still really overweight. Although, I can walk a couple miles with no problem, I worry my joints will rebel! But you have given me some motivation.

Awwww.. That's a first! A shero! Remember you can do week one more than once. Just move at your own pace. There's a Zombies! Run! App that takes you through a story if a zombie apocalypse as you do the c25k. I might switch to that one. Sounds fun!

Hot Damn lady...you look gorgeous! But even cooler than your looks is the fact that you just completed a 5k! You must be so amazed and proud of yourself. That is one of my deepest desires...to be the hot mamma who is jogging through the park on a regular basis. You are inspirational!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
