I'm a professional starter of awesome ideas and a champion of never finishing them. I'm 27 and I've always been overweight- I was born 9 pounds 2 ounces.

I had always been strong and this got me by but age( I know I'm only 27) is catching up with me and I know a healthier, more active me will enjoy this world much more than I currently do. I have a little 4 year old boy, who I don't want to inherit my unhealthy lifestyle.

So, here I am again, starting something awesome and expecting to finish this time.

Just signed up today. Having my first run tomorrow morning. I'm not telling the husband this time- I think he'll simply believe it when he sees it.

There is no better way to get started than C25K and no better support base than this forum.

Go for it, you won't regret it.

Another ninja runner 😎 I didn't tell the old man either, or my son, as I knew they take the wotsit. Lots of us hide in the woods etc 😃 It doesn't matter where as long as you just do it

Eat healthier and you won't know yourself soon. Good diet will benefit your son too. lovely colourful, healthy grub 😋

Good luck! Go slowly, slowly, slowly. Never quit 😃
