Hi All!

I am on Week 3 day 3 and I think I will do it another day or two. The first time I completed the 3 minute run I was so happy I could have cried! Who ever would have thought 10 months ago at over 300 pounds I would be tackling a running program. The weight loss has taken me to places I have only dreamed of being!

I am feeling nervous about week 4 when we run for 5 minutes.

How is everyone doing?

Take care and happy running!!:thumbup:

Hey guys!! I am on another C25K thread, and just wanted to pop in and encourage you guys!! AS LONG AS YOU ARE MOVING YOU ARE WINNING!!!! Don't worry about having to repeat a week. Just keep going!! I completed the c25K a few weeks ago and ran my first 5k today. I finished 4th in my division with a time of 29:20. Just a few short months ago I couldn't run a mile to save my life, so it can and does happen. You ladies keep after it.. Yall are doing a great job!!

Thanks Renewed!! I have been following the other thread and you ladies are amazing!! You have really inspired me!! Fantastic time on your run!!!!!!!!!

I bought a treadmill on the rent to own program and it gets delivered tomorrow!!! Now I don't have to wait or drag myself out on a cold rainy night, or wait in line to use the treadmill and have people keeping track of my time on it...I am a happy camper!

The 3 minute runs are getting a little easier. I did it again last night and it was day 4 of week 3. I think I will do it another 2 times and then move on to week 4.

I still haven't figured out what the best thing to eat is before a run. I usually have supper and then run 1-2 hours later. I eat mostly fish and veg or chicken and veg including sweet potato. Can you suggest what is best to eat prior to a program...

Thanks and keep up the amazing work!!!! :girl_hug:

Hi, all...I have been modifying the program somewhat. I'm between weeks 2 & 3. I walk one minute and run 2. I think I'm ready for week #3, I'm just a little nervous to try it.

But, I am doing it, and I go at least a mile each time. I never would have thought I could do this!!

Hi Georgia,

Wow great job on the weight loss!!!!!! I have been following the other thread and you ladies sure are inspiring!! I am realy struggling with week 3. I can do the first 3 minutes fine but the last 3 minutes I really have to push hard to get through it. I am worried about the 5 minute run on week 4. Any helpful hints or suggestions that helped you to get through the tough spots??

Happy running everyone!:thumbup:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
