1grlrev Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I have ALWAYS HATED running! But as I've become more obese over the years I am wishing I could run. I have two young teens that I can't keep up with. They like to go out...and I don't - not in my current physical condition. 5'8" 320 lbs. For my build 180 is healthy. That's 140 lbs overweight! I'm carrying myself plus a whole other human being. Its time to change and get to moving! I am a single Christian paraprofessional (finance and accounting) mom. I don't have any family and my circle of friends is very small. And they do not have the same goals health wise at this point. I am hoping to connect with others that are like minded for mutual support/encouragement/accountability. Wishing each of you success in all your endeavors! 1grlrev and Gretski 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedingsloth Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi there and welcome! I've always hated running as well but as I've progressed with the program I'm beginning to enjoy it. earlier in the program, When I did struggle(and trust me there were plenty of those moments) I would be constantly praying and asking God's Strength to keep me from passing out! Looking forward to reading about your progress and all your successes and God bless!! You can do this, just keep putting one foot infront of the other!! ◡̈ Sandy P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newlife16 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I use to love to be active and a small at 140. However, life happened and now I'm 231. This past year, I turned 30 and only recently made the decision to get back in shape. Only thing missing is a lack of support group. Good luck to everyone in there fitness goals for 2016.

Newlife16 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 That is so true that is why I prayed before I stared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyalana Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi. Im new here too. Just started at the gym a couple of weeks ago, but really want to lose my baby weight this year. I'm 101.3kg and would love to get to approx 70kg. I am going to do the C25K before I do my weight training 3 days a week and look at other cardio on the other 2 days. Hoping to get some inspiration and encouragement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newlife16 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hey all, so I have not been running. However, I am walking/fast walking. Baby steps. I do have a suggestion for everyone. So I know I need to lift weights but I hate dumbbells. Therefore, I got kettlebells. Omg my arms are a little sore just from the 5 lb weight. I found an app on my phone to show me the exercise and it works great. Plus there are exercise for a total body workout as well. Thought you guys might like to know. Good luck Linsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
