Heart rate seems WAY too high!

Hi guys,

I am a 27 year old female, 192 lbs (I've lost 80 lbs so far) and I've started a couch to 5k program.  I was good through week 3, but now I am stuck.  I cannot jog for more than 3 minutes, and when I do my heart rate gets up to 190 and I feel light headed!  Does anyone have any advice?  I do not have ANY medical problems (other than being overweight, of course).  I want so badly to be a "runner", but I'm getting discouraged.

Any advice is going to be very helpful!
