Hi There, 

 

Welcome on here and excited you are here.   Are you starting with the C25k app?  It is a great way to start.  There is also an ABS app, Lunges, Butt, Pushups, ZenLabs also.  They are great motivators.   I am on Week 4, Day 4 of the 10k app.  I did not use the 5k one as I am pretty active.  

 

Start with that and that will be 3 days a week for you.  On the other days life weights, there are great weightlifting apps too.    I rest on the weekends, but If I am feeling great, then I run another day.   You can do it and we are all here cheering you on.  Now, do you have a spouse?.  It would be fun for you to workout with her.   Also, get the kids involved in eating healthy and playing outdoors, going hiking, etc....   Keep me posted, Good Luck!

I'm a father of four as well. I know it's hard to find time and simply find motivation especially after long days with the kids. I've been struggling with that as well. I started this journey two years ago by losing just under 100lbs. Since than I've gained some back after moving to Florida. I'm getting my self started on the journey again. Keep posting your successes as it helps motivate me too.

It is tough, I work 2 jobs as well, so my time is scarce. I run 2 days a week and walk 2 days. I also do a few hundred push ups/sit-ups per week. I used to being in the 170lb range but now in the last 5 years I've crept up to 185. Good luck and keep fighting.
