WWW.C25K.COM has some great info too.

I've done it a little. It helps. I still don't like running and suspect I never will.. but the c25k program does help. I use the treadmill program on that site ^^. And I take it much slower than they suggest.

I did it! It is how I got into running... now I'm running a 10 mile race in August!!!!
I got fit tested for running shoes... best investment I've EVER made beside my band of course! I love my Mizuno running shoes over any other brand... Nikes kill my heels!

Good luck to you!

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence. I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!

I can't wait to get fitted for some running shoes. I am worried about being watched while I run...I will have performance anxiety....hahaha.

hahaha me too! I'm also so paranoid about my excess skin, especially in my thighs... not to get too graphic but they always make this weird noise when I run... like my skin flapping in the wind... sometimes if I see a runner run by me, I slow down so the noise won't be as bad!

I went to this store called RoadRunners... it's a chain store that sells all these gadgets for running. They made me run on a treadmill for like 5 minutes and computed what kind of runner I am. I'm heavy and flat footed. The guy was so nice, after telling him my story, he told me to save a few bucks and go to Dicks Sporting Goods... he told me I can save over $20 there. I did as he said and they had the same exact sneaker that he recommend for me for $30 cheaper! Two months later I went back to RoadRunners and bought a pair off of him because he helped me so much... he is also an avid runner and will be running in the same 10 mile race with me next month. His goal for me is to do the NYC half marathon next March... we shall see about that! LOL!
