Beth – yeah, I’m a tad nervous about hitting the pavement at this weight – but I figure, take it slow :) It’d be so cool to be one of those people I see out there in the mornings and I just want to holler “GOOD FOR YOU” out my window!

Lola – dooo it with meeeeeeee

GOOD FOR YOU on the moment in the kitchen! that is hard to do especially when it’s in your hands.

i’m contemplating that couch to 5k but not quite yet…maybe in a couple of weeks.

just wanted to encourage you-you can TOTALLY do the couch to 5k! I weigh 264 and started training for the 5k I ran last saturday only a month and half before. I ran the whole thing in 48 minutes which is about a 15 minute mile. It was rough, but WHAT a feeling of accomplishment! I’m training now for a 1/2 marathon in August and starting to finally lose weight at a consistent pace. I started on a treadmill. And just tried to go for 7 minutes without stopping. Didn’t care how slow it was, just wanted to go without stopping. Then I gradually added minutes and before I knew it, was running 30 minutes without stopping! I NEVER thought I’d be a runner. i HATED running. But running is the first thing I’ve done where I can feel and see a change in my endurance and strength every time I step on the treadmill or run outside! Good luck to you! You can DO IT! (plus-running blogs and articles say that once you get past the first few months of running, the weight starts falling off. *as long as you’re watching your calorie intake too*. SO that’s a motivation!) Sorry for the novel. HA!
