It's fab!! I started C25K this time last year, I ran my first half marathon in Sept and am currently training for this year's London Marathon .... And it all started with Couch to 5K! X good luck x

Well done!! To give up smoking too is a challenge in itself I bet you're very proud of yourself! X

Non-scales victory - which yours certainly was, wel done!

On Saturday I ran 10k in training (my longest & further ever run) AND Yesterday I got a new 5k PB Am feeling pretty chuffed with myself at the moment - especially as 5 months ago I couldn't run for 1 min without my lungs catching fire. B)

Completed today's Speed Pacer runner and had covered 4.5km so decided to carry on to the max I've ever run 5km ...... Then when I reached 5km, I think Forrest Gump can explain better than me: 'I just kept on running' 7.5 beautiful Km's (4.6miles) later and THAT is now my furthest ever run *happy dance!* Next stop .....…

Shaved 2 FABULOUS minutes of my 5km PB today, it nearly broke me but I got it down to 33.53! That's 10.5minute miles - not bad for someone who hadn't run for about 20 years up until 3 months ago B)

I am no longer 'obese' just 'overweight' - whoop whoop! Yes that's right, I'm cheering because I'm technically overweight LOL

Ah ok I've got you - I wasn't logged in so I couldn't add you - but have now lol. Right! Let's smash some challenges out :D

Hey! I need UK fitbitters too ... But have no idea how to add friends by URL lol. Any ideas how to?

Pre babies AND pre wedding (7 years ago) jeans not only FIT but need a belt on them too!! *does victory dance round bedroom*

I've got it wrong, I believe the firmware update is for the Surge to add (amongst other things) a Bike tracker with GPS to the exercises! Whoop!

Fitbit just sent out a firmware upgrade too so that might resolve it without revoking access etc

Mine the same but I followed this: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1427466-what-if-data-doesn-t-appear-to-be-syncing-from-fitbit-to-myfitnesspal- Had to disconnect Fitbit from MFP and 'Revoke access' on my Fitbit account - wait 15mins then reconnect (through website not app) as explained in the…

Amazing! Well done, that's a fantastic achievement x

Being able to run along side my son whilst teaching him to ride his bike without stabilisers - although he is too quick for me now lol

I've just finished C5K and point blank refused to run for years prior to starting in Feb. I was out of breath in the running sections but not to the point where I couldn't carry on. I know some people say run slow enough to hold a conversation but I couldn't but I put that down to being so unfit to start with. Now I've…

I have the surge because I use the GPS function when running so unless you'll use that I wouldn't bother with the surge, I believe the charge is the same as surge minus the GPS. I read putting the Fitbit on your least dominate arm could increase accuracy because this morning Id done 14 steps before Id even got out of bed!!!

I need Fitbit friends but no idea how to add URLs so feel free to add and then challenge me https://www.fitbit.com/user/37SGR5

Just done my first photo comparison and I'm in shock! Feeling a bit brave/proud so I'm posting the picture that triggered me to sort myself out in the hope it motivates others as your fab photos have done for me so far - thank you xx 3 months in and approx. half way, 27lb down.

It really does, doesn't it? I laugh every time I say 'I'm just going for a run' to my hubby - it still sounds bizarre lol

Thank you everyone, I appreciate all your help and advice. I'm tracking my times so I can see my fitness levels increasing it gives me the incentive to keep pushing on. And thanks for the HIIT info, think I'm a bit off that at the moment but can see the benefits so will definitely keep it in mind for a month or so time but…
