c25k Grad. Up next.. Diet!

Hello, fellow runner here, feel free to add me I actually just had a son in May and hadn't ran during my pregnancy so I am working at getting back on it. Did the Color Run last weekend and had a blast!

Hi I'm too a C25K grad, did last year and I'm into it now, did my first 10k race in May this year.

I'm 5f 7.5 started off at 193 lbs last June, used a Weight loss Resources site to lose 56 lbs, but don't think I could have done it without calorie counting and running.

I don't think of it as a diet anymore, for me it's ended up being a life style choice. My crunch day came when the GP wanted to put me on cholesterol busting drugs, blood pressure drugs and diabetes drugs, I refused walked out and said I'll do it myself.

You've done great so far, and I'm sure your body is so much more healthier than it was so take that as a big positive, it's not all about the numbers on the scales.

I'm back on calorie counting as I've put on 1/2 a stone and want to lose it. I'm sure many will say, take your measurements they are just as important. I now use my waist to height ratio as a healthy guide rather than my BMI, that's how the medics like to measure us. Take yours you may be surprised at how healthy you are.

Good luck, it's not a race though, just think of it as a life style change, if you keep going slowly but surely you'll avoid all those drugs and will be healthy for your family.

Keep hold of your positive vibes and ignore the rest, in real life or on facebook, I learnt that some friends liked me being the fat one, made them feel better. I have one friend who has never mentioned my weight loss, but I didn't do it for her I did it for me and my health

So how is your diabetes and blood pressure now? Congrats on your weight loss.

Hi All!

I'm also doing the C25K albeit with slower progression than you're supposed to. I've been really impressed with it - had a knee injury which stopped me from excercising, and athsma which makes it hard to start again, but this has been really good :-)

Stuck on week 4 atm, can push myself to the end of the 3 min run, but really struggling to do the 5 min in one go. Any tips?
