My name is Megan. I am about to be 26-years-old and have two little boys. I weigh in at a whopping 245-247 lbs (depending on the day, I suppose). And sadly, this has come after a 10 lb weight loss within the last month from me cutting out soda, calorie counting, and portion control. Prior to June I weighed about 260 lbs.
So... with all that being said, it brings me to this - C25K. I'm done feeling uncomfortable in social circumstances and making self-deprecating jokes in case other people around me are already thinking them. In June I decided it was time for a change and modified dietary habits. Now that I feel I've got that under control, I feel it's time to do the physical part. And, I hate it. Not because it's hard work and I feel like I'm probably dying, but because I feel hopeless.
I did W1D1 tonight and wasn't able to complete it. I made it through the third jog and walk and had to quit. I'm ashamed and feel like giving up already. I know that's not the answer, but dang! To give myself some credit, I did do a warm up workout prior to the C25K W1D1 attempt, but I feel like I should have been able to do more.
And honestly, after reading through the forum, I haven't found anyone else having the same problem. I can't be the only fatty beginner! Halp!
Kudos if you made it through that and still have the energy to respond. You're my hero.
