Hi there,
I am 38 and need to lose about 40 pounds. I lost a fair amount of weight about three years ago by watching my portions and joining a gym. When the gym closed I fell into some bad habits and am back to square one.

I am looking at the Couch to 5K program for some structure on developing a cardio program again, need to dust of some free weights, and have to figure out a diet plan I can stick with

I am hoping to find, and give, some support to others with common goals.

Hi and

What is the Couch to 5k program? (I'm pretty sure I've got the Couch part of it covered... )

I am very good at the couch part too! It is a beginner's running program- designed to work you up to a 3 mile run in 2 months. I am not sure I will make it to that, but I like the structured idea of the plan......

There are several running threads in the exercise forum---including one for cto5K! Good luck!
