judyc0858 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi all! I am JudyC. I am 4'11" and 216 lbs. will be 58 next month. I have Always been overweight, honestly do not recall ever being a normal, healthy weight. I started C35k yesterday. I was surprised that could actually finish it, felt great! It was hard, I was thinking I was working too much, but did not let myself talk me out of finishing it, and just stroll through it. I have been feeling hopelessly unfit and never being able to get to s healthy weight. I so want to finish this program. I tried once 5-7 years ago, felt great and found I loved interval training. However I stopped at week 3 or 4. So much harder this time around ...but, not impossible. I cannot even imagine being 120-125 lbs! I have no idea what it will be like. ANYWAY, asking for help to not give in to the hopelessness, but to keep plowing forward. I feel bad, cause got so busy that I did not do next day...should I do this everyday..or is it better every other day? I really only gVe Mon, Tues and Thursday to do this, is that going to be okay? I can do some strength training and flexibility work Wednesday, Friday and the weekend. Okay? I have gone on enough.....just wanted to pop in and see if I can get connected with some others who may have been where I am today. Anyone? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

torus_ot Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yes, the program is 3 days per week exercise. Other days you should do walk/stretch/strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith66 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I agree with Torus...I'm using C25K and I have a vivosmartHR and I do my steps everyday. I would say go at your own pace...You will still see results but you need to eat properly also....You can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyC Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thank you Torus and Meredith for your replies. It is a struggle, but I do feel so much better when I do my C25K run. Eating properly is my hardest struggle, though exercising causes me to want to eat healthy. Thank you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina.millard Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Stick to it. You can do it. I weighed 350 pounds and have lost almost 150 pounds but am struggling with meeting goal. We got this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
