AWeJo Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I did day 1 today. I am embarrassed to admit how overweight I am, so I am starting out on turtle mode, walk and walk faster. I will just keep walking faster and faster until one day I am running. I need to get my weight down to ease the arch problems I am wearing these fancy inserts for now. I am not discouraged to be off to a slow start, I still managed to get 15,000 steps in on my pedometer today with my slow version of c25k!

Ruthie Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 That's fantastic. I started walking and then I started the app. Do what you can and don't stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 You are doing fine. Getting off the couch and moving is already a great accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshi Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 AWeJo, you are doing great! 15,000 steps is a lot. There's no need to be embarrassed. I hear you on the arch pain. I had so much arch and foot pain when I first started. I also couldn't run. I ended up doing jogging motions and was still in place no matter how much I tried to lean at my ankles. It takes time! I stayed with the program and managed my intake (not too MUCH, and not too LITTLE) and my body composition started changing. It took a while before the weight went down, but the lessened foot and arch pain was one of the first things I noticed (after lessening of shin pain).
