So, I searched the board and didn't see any recent threads on C25K.
Was wondering if anyone is currently on the programs? FI and I are starting tonight and I'm really hoping it helps us.
Also, did anyone that has done it before notice if it really helped with weight loss, or just endurance? I would assume that running would encourage weight loss, but I'm just not sure. I'd like to lose 15-20 lbs before the wedding and I know FI would as well.
Also, any suggestions for a website with excessive healthy recipes?
TIA

I did C25K also, and yup it's awesome. I can't say that it is the single defining factor in my weight loss, as I believe everything works together and like Anna said, the food you eat is 80% of it... but it has definitley helped. I now run 3-5K a few times a week - it has definitely given me a form of exercise that I can do regularly and actually enjoy (and am proud of!).
I also love skinnytaste.com, just made the sweet potato fries and grilled pineapple last night and the vanilla bean frozen yogurt today.. and nothing to feel guilty about!
I log my food on MyFitnessPal.com, definitely start that up because it's going to be your best friend. Doesn't matter which site you use, it'll help you big time. If you decide to do MFP my username is smiller52 and you can feel free to add me.
For recipes, I like cookinglight.com, skinnytaste.com, and weight watchers (you can access lots of the recipes even if you're not a member).
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
