Guest Jay Malone Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I am 34 years old and weigh 231. I am only 5'7" so that's really overweight. This past week I decided to cut back my calories and loose some weight. I made the statement that I would love to run a 5K someday. And my wife found this app! So I am giving it a try. I finished my first day!!! About 12 minutes in...I almost quit. Then I kept telling myself to keep going. The half way mark rolled around and I knew I wanted to finish. I then had my doubts as I kept going. But when I seen that I was running 7 of 8 I knew I could do it. And I did! So...we will see how the rest of this workout goes!

Guest Steve G Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Keep going buddy! I'm 56 and have been running 5k's for about 5 years because of this app! I'm a big guy too. 6'1" 240lbs, but this app has helped me loose weight and feel a lot better! Stay with it my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymalone Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks again everyone! I completed the first week with not too much trouble. However, I am doing this with my wife. We both are doing this with weightloss and exercise as a main goal. I am not pressured to run a 5K in 8 weeks so we are starting week 1 again. We want to take it slow and loose weight along the way. I appreciate all of the support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
