I think you can do it! You weigh 50 pounds less than me and I did it! All that elliptical you've done has done more good than you know. I though I was going to fail at every new week, but I made it! It took me 8 weeks and I was running 3 miles at a time! Couch to 5K is awesome, it is designed to teach non-runners to run. Just do as they say, don't skip ahead. And if a week turns out to be too difficult, repeat it. But I honestly think you're going to do fine. A few ladies in my office have tried it as well, and they have also been successful. Good luck! You're going to feel great, and wait until you see how many calories running burns :) 

Does running burn more than the eliptical? I need to look that up! Thaanks for the encouragement K8y! 

I've always thought the calories burned on the elliptical machine are overstated on the machines. I can tell you, after running you are going to be exhausted and sore in a way the elliptical will never make you! And you'll feel great and accomplished when you can say "I'm a runner!" 

Thank you so much AGAIN! My son is really interested in running too, so we are both going to do the Couch to 5K! We start tonight! I will let you know how it goes! You are a true inspiration!
