[quote=Anonymous]OP, just want to give you fair warning- running can be addicting!! I was overweight when I started running (post-pregnancy, but I had been in the upper end of healthy before that). I fell in love with it. I’m not overweight anymore. Running (and diet and a lot of other things) helped me lose 30 lbs, permanently. The running community is very diverse and welcoming to all body types. There are a lot of overweight runners at races. Some of them even pass me. I will say it’s my personal belief that if you want to run long-term, you should try and get to a healthy body weight, it does take its toll on knees. I recently lost some weight, and even though I was already in the healthy range, my knees felt much better after losing 10 or so additional lbs. Good luck- hope to see all of us back out there soon.
