Surprisingly I have done ok with it. I had to repeat week 3, I had a tough time getting past 3 mins. Honestly if your knees are a concern and you really want to do it, go to a running shoe specialty store. I spent $116 on my shoes but they fitted me for how I walk and what I was doing and I have to honestly say it was money well spent. I haven't had a knee or ankle problem yet and they specifically said this type of shoe would protect me from that and they were right.

I did,  I have 120$ New Balance shoes specifically made for running,  I run on a treadmill as well,  I just was afraid that maybe 280 pounds was a bit much to ask for my knees,  they do creak alarmingly when I go up the stairs!  So instead I walked at a higher incline,  I've slowly started adding in sprints again but nothing structured like C25K yet.

I was the walking dead until I took a shower. Sweat and redness accentuates the wrinkles and the flabby skin. Once I returned to my normal color I don't look so bad.

Good to know, since I'm skeered of zombie people....

Hey that's why I make it a point never to sweat!

Unfortnuately SHE had a disgusted look on her face like, "you are going to go show, right?"

Awesome. I'm a sweater too.  I appreciate people who look like they've really worked out.  I usually have people ask me if I'm OK bc my face gets beet red in addition to all the sweat.  It's my curse for being tragically pale :)
