This AM I started the C25K. So in 9 weeks I will be looking for some 5K runs to participate in. My goal is to lose 65 lbs and a fraction of the way into that, I feel great!
Not smoking, getting fit, eating healthy, the best things I have ever done for myself.

I also wish you success!
I have posted my story in the other thread but to give you a quick Readers Digest version.
I started on October 17, 2010 and weigh in night before last and have now lost 60 pounds. 5 pants sizes and I have dropped 3 shirt sizes (XXXL to L)
I was exactly like you, Smoker and not eating healthy.
thats all changed now and the ole adage is, if I can do it, anyone can.
I wish you every bit of success in the world.
