Berries are pretty low carb, covered in high fat Greek yoghurt they make a good breakfast.

Are you stretching properly?

Good luck! I used C25K to get running. I found it easy to run outside as it's easier to change your speed up and down. I also found running outside less conspicuous. I figured that I wouldn't be around long enough for anyone to stare, to be honest most people are very encouraging.

soooo, today i finished the Bridge to 10K program. i'm now running for 60 mins straight! roll on the 24th and my first 10K!

you've done soooo well and you're looking amazing. like others have said it takes a while for the brain to catch up with your body and to see what's really in the mirror rather than see the fat girl who's been staring back at us for most of our lives.

well done! C25K is amazing, you'll love bridge to 10K too! :glasses:

copy and paste this link into your web browser - http://blog.c25kapp.com/about-bridge-to-10k/ there are apps for the iphone available on itunes too.

Well done!!!!

I've been running for 15 weeks now. I started with C25K and I'm now on the last week of B210K. I've always had chicken drumstick legs - thunder thighs and tiny calves. My calves are now much more muscular and I've lost 2 inches off the circumference of my thighs. On the whole my legs are looking soooo much better. Still…

couch to 5k is amazing. 3 1/2 months ago i was struggling to run for 30 secs. i'm now nearing the end of the Bridge to 10k and can run comfortably for 1 hr. i really cannot recommend the C25K program enough!

well done! that's brilliant. :-)

this is me racing my 1998 suzuki bandit last year at santa pod. i shoehorned a 1991 gsxr750m lump into the 600 frame. it's stage 3 tuned running cone filters and makes about 110bhp. i've ran high 11s on it.

don't panic! i was only covering 2.5-3 km in the first couple of weeks. even in the last week i was only covering 4.25-4.5 km in 30 mins. on the final day i ran in a 5k race for life and what with trying to circumnavigate all the walkers it took me 40 mins to cover the full 5 km. keep up the good work!

couch to 5k!!!!! get some good training shoes from your local running shop. a good sports bra. running leggings/capris. trust me, they give you support and are easier to run in than looser shorts. good luck!

mid 50s. i wouldn't be able to tell you if it has gone down recently though.

thanks guys!!! to those of you who've been thinking about trying out Couch to 5k just do it! it builds up slowly, believe me you will be able to run for 30 minutes straight by the end of 8 weeks. if i can, so can anyone! lol. first day of bridge to 10k today too! woohoo, i can do this.

what a fantastic story! you've done so well and have really turned this dieting lark into a way of life. keep up the good work lucy and keep those interesting posts and statuses coming.

well done!

i've also lost 11 lbs since starting the program. i've been keeping my net calories to roughly 1,200. i really enjoy being able to eat my exercise calories back! lol

like everyone said it's more mental that physical. your body can do it, you just need to tell it to! when it gets tough think to yourself i can stop at the next corner, tree, what ever if i need to and then when you get there and realise you don't need to stop do the same again. believe me it gets easier. i started C25K 10…

i had to google charlie horse as i had no idea what you were talking about! i thought you might be referring to a hangover! lol. cramps can be a symptom of low electrolytes.

i'm using a polar ft4. i found it on ebay for £50. it's dead easy to use and the strap is pretty comfortable. the watch shows your current heart rate, you can choose a target heart rate zone and it logs time spent working out and calories burnt. i think the more expensive polar hrm do more stuff and allow you to adjust…

without wanting to scare you i used to get this whenever i over exerted myself. when i went to the doctor as a child they diagnosed me with asthma even though i never had any closing of the airways. to cut a long story short i was diagnosed with a heart murmur at the age of 28 whilst in A&E after fracturing my spine. after…

my knee was hurting really badly when i first started running. i researched running form on the internet and found some videos on a website called good form running. they explained how to land on the midfoot. i got some new running shoes, used a patellar strap, moved from running on the pavement to running in the park and…

most towns have a specialised running store, i can see from your profile that you're oop north. there's a sweatshop - a really good running shop in both meadow hell and the arndale centre. i found a really good advisor at my local jjb, he was studying sports science and helped me find a really good pair of nike running…

week three is - walk 5 min ( warm up) jog 90 sec walk 90 sec jog 3 min walk 3 min jog 90 sec walk 90 sec jog 3 min walk 3 min walk 5 min (cool down) there's really good apps available for iphone or you can download podcasts for your ipod/mp3 player that will help you to know when the intervals start and finish. good luck!

i'm 5'4" and have at least 14lbs/1 stone to lose. it's hard work when you're short. my net calories are set at 1,200 per day and i struggle to keep that low. my husbands calories are set at 2,000 and he finds it difficult to eat all of his calories everyday! :-( feel free to add me as a friend.

wow guys, you can certainly see that the hard work pays off. i feel motivated to start this again. i'm halfway through C25K so it should help keeping my routine varied.

i'm in! i'd like to lose another 7lbs by the new year. i'm doing the 30 day shred so have another 21 days of that left and i'm going to add in some sessions on my exercise bike too. i'm hoping that will be enough! good luck guys.
