i'm in week 5 now. the first couple of weeks i spent looking ahead saying 'i'll never be able to do that' but so far, i can! so now i think i can do anything as long as i follow the programme.

i think you'd lose that hatred for 'sucking air' faster than you anticipate. i'm into week 4 of c25k now and i lost my fear of being out of breath pretty early on. i used to panic when my chest felt tight and short of breath and end up stopping and gasping about. i think by the end of week 1 i'd twigged i wasn't going to…

yes i'm scared of the 5mins too. but i was scared of the 3 minutes too. am clinging on to that! think i've found a race for 1st july, give myself a bit of time to repeat weeks later on. nervous!
-
i did it! the last 30 seconds of the 2nd 3min run was a push but otherwise it was easier than i'd expected. feel bouncy and happy now. i couldnt do that 2 weeks ago! i really forced myself to go (even) slower than normal which i think helped. confidence in the programme restored. i now think it vaguely possible i could be…

i was going to repeat a day of week 2 tomorrow but i think i'm actually just going to go for it with week 3 now. w2d3 went really well but days 1&2 were abysmal. can't hurt to try i suppose? i really want to keep progressing but the hard days really knocked my confidence and i dont want that again. meh, i can always go…

wow! you're 20yrs younger! nice work :D

great story! thanks, i'm on a mission for c25k success stories today and they keep on coming. can't believe how great you looked at 206!

brilliant!

did you mean to say something about my post Xabsentimentalx or did you quote me by accident?

i love mine. i weigh myself every time i go in the bathroom. i dont think about it except when i'm there and i dont make special trips to visit it. i dont freak out at normal fluctuations. last time my scale broke and i didnt replace it i gained back 35lb in 4 months :ohwell: since i bought a new one i'm down 26lb. slowly,…

hi. i'm did week 1 day 3 this morning, outdoor variety. i'm enjoying it, survived enough to feel confident about week 2!

*heads excitedly straight to app store, is horrified by price but considering it*

i have always thought no way, because i am so far from a morning person and am a total night owl. but i was getting nowhere with dreading it all day and then being too tired and just not doing it at all. for the last 3 weeks i've been getting up and meeting a friend at 6.30am and we've started the c25k. turns out i can do…

i have the opposite problem! i did w1d3 this morning and my breathing has improved loads - today we chatted all the way round including through the runs - but my legs go around run 6/7 and feel like numb lead. nervous about week 2 but excited too.

Clash of Kings atm to whip myself into a frenzy for the new series starting. before that it was a little bit of Pratchett, and next i'm thinking of checking out the Hunger Games while i wait for new Jasper Fforde to come out.

you're basically doing the c25k so i'd just follow that and it will give you the training schedule to build you up. maybe start on week 3/4 as you're clearly not a potato. you enjoying it?
-
22lb down so far and still in the same clothes. but i've gone from worrying the seams to pretty baggy. i know i bought my next size smaller jeans when i was 14lbs down from where i am now, so looking forward to getting back in those soon! that's when it will start getting noticeable too. and also i think why i managed to…
-
howdy. technically i started last week but i've missed a few days with being ill so going for it in March.
-
wow, look at you! thanks for sharing. i'm trying to do this the same way as you. i wouldnt stick to a severe diet that eliminated food groups, so i'm making smaller changes and expecting it to take a lot longer. it's great to see that it works and that you've lost so much weight!
-
you rang? i thought this was an FAO for me :laugh: i'm 5'2'' massive chested and no plans to go below 130lbs, i'm initially aiming for around 150lb and then hopefully 140lb.
