I'm doing 22 things
I have been following the Couch to 5K plan from CoolRunning.com for far longer than the 9 weeks they suggest, and it’s worked really well. Has anyone else used this? Robert Ullrey has put out some good podcasts that go along with the plan too on iTunes.

How I did it: My all-time high weight was 150 (around 2.5 years ago) and now I hover between 125 and 130.
